Stocks Bounce Back Check Top Gainers and Losers

Stocks bounced back Thursday as investors focused more on strong corporate earnings from tech companies and healthy economic data as opposed to continuing tumult in emerging markets.

The Dow rose more than 100 points, while the S&P 500 and NASDAQ both gained more than 1%.

The U.S. government reported that the economy grew at a solid 3.2% pace in the fourth quarter, driven by strong consumer spending and exports. That figure beat economists' expectations, and although it's not indicative of gangbusters growth, the data seems to show the economy is moving forward modestly.
Stocks sold-off Wednesday after the Fed said it was cutting another $10 billion per month from its economic stimulus program. Investors were disappointed the central bank didn't address the recent trouble in emerging markets. Stocks around the world have been rattled in this week as investors worry about an emerging markets currencies sell-off sparked by a reduced flow of cheap money.

UK Stock Market Update by Online Robotic Stock Trader

Other news overnight saw the HSBC final Chinese manufacturing PMI reading come in at 49.5, below the key 50 level mark. Today's economic diary is confined to the US with the publication of the latest weekly jobless claims, advance GDP data and pending home sales figures. Commodity prices are mixed but trading in narrow ranges and on the foreign exchanges, the pound is up against both the dollar and the euro but all are range bound.

Oil And Natural Gas Daily Review

Crude Oil

Nymex crude oil prices increased around 1.8 percent yesterday on the back of expectations of rise in demand for the fuel after favorable consumer confidence data from the US coupled with cool winter weather conditions. Further, decline in API distillate inventories also supported an upside in the prices.

However, rise in API crude oil and gasoline inventories along with strength in the DX could not pull downside in the oil prices. Crude oil prices touched an intra-day high of $97.66/bbl and closed at $97.41/bbl in yesterday’s trading session.

On the domestic bourses, prices gained around 0.7 percent and closed at Rs.6133/bbl after touching an intra-day high of Rs.6154/bbl on Tuesday. Sharp upside in the prices was prevented due to appreciation in the Rupee.

API Inventories Data

As per the American Petroleum Institute (API) report last night, US crude oil inventories rose more than expected by 4.7 million barrels to 360.40 million barrels for the week ending on 24th January 2014. Gasoline inventories rose by 363,000 barrels to 235.18 million barrels and whereas distillate inventories declined by 1.8 million barrels to 116.40 million barrels for the same week.

EIA Inventories Forecast

The US Energy Department (EIA) is scheduled to release its weekly inventories report today at 9:00pm IST and US crude oil inventories is expected to gain by 2.3 million barrels for the week ending on 24th January 2013. Gasoline stocks are expected to gain by 1.1 million barrels whereas distillate inventories are expected to plunge by 2.2 million barrels for the same period.

Outlook

 

From the intra-day perspective, we expect crude oil prices to trade on a mixed note on the back of expectations of rise in demand for the fuel after favorable consumer confidence data from the US in yesterday’s trade. Further, cool winter weather conditions coupled with decline in distillate inventories from API and estimates of fall in US distillate inventories will also support an upside in the prices. While on the other hand, expectations of rise is US crude oil inventories along with increase in API inventories yesterday will exert downside pressure on the prices. Also, investors will remain cautious ahead of the Federal Reserve meeting today which will act as a negative factor. In the Indian markets, Rupee appreciation will cap sharp gains or even reversal in the prices.

The Common Mistakes Made By Traders

Some of the mistakes traders commonly make are concepts that came from "the floor", because until just the last 12-15 years ago there really weren't that many screen based traders. Floors traders that transitioned from the floor to the screen naturally carried their habits and floor techniques with them, and a lot of them continue to promote the things that worked on the floor to screen based traders. What worked on the floor does not work in front of a screen for a lot of reasons that are outside the main point of this particular blog. We'll save that one for a later date.

ABSENCE OF A SOUND TRADING PLAN

Your overall plan should include the currencies you intend to deal in, the amount of leverage you will use, and the amount of time you intend to devote. You also need an exit strategy for each trade you make, which includes the upper and lower boundaries of the trade.

FAILURE TO INCLUDE STOP-LOSS AND TAKE-PROFIT INSTRUCTIONS

Consider adding stop-loss instructions to all open positions – they can limit the amount that you could lose on any given trade, especially if you are unable to constantly monitor your account.A stop-loss instruction will trigger the closing of an open position when the exchange rate touches the specified level. Similarly, take-profit orders allow you to establish the rate at which you want open positions closed in order to lock-in profits.

EXCESSIVE LEVERAGE

Trade leverage can be a powerful tool to help you maximize returns, or it can be the cause of your downfall. Don’t trade until you understand how leverage works.

IGNORING RATE SPREAD FLUCTUATIONS AND THE IMPACT SPREADS HAVE ON PROFITABILITY

Exchange rate spreads – the difference between the bid and the ask price – directly affect trade profitability. Spread differentials can fluctuate during the day, and spreads widen during off-market hours when volumes and liquidity are lower. In addition, spreads tend to widen ahead of important news, such as an impending interest rate decision or the latest employment results.

LACK OF DISCIPLINE

As rates fluctuate, you can easily get caught up in the market. This is why a plan is so important – it allows you to avoid the emotion that is bound to arise during times of volatility. In especially volatile markets, the best option may simply be not to trade. Sometimes the best plan is to stay purposefully inactive.

Before you start trading, try visiting the Introduction to Currency Trading page on our website, and open a demo account to start testing your skills and strategies.

TIME FRAMES

The smaller the time frame you trade the less likely you are to succeed. Day trading is more difficult than position or swing trading. Everyone wants to “day trade.” That’s fine, I day trade, most of my clients day trade. BUT, I am always willing and encourage my clients to be willing to take that day trade into the next time frame if the opportunity presents itself. The big money and the “easiest” money is made outside the intraday time frame. To be consistently successful over the long term you have to at least occasionally have the big winning trade.

WHICH MARKET TO TRADE


It is a huge mistake to focus on one market. This is especially true for day traders. Look at this form a business perspective. Why should you care if you trade the ES (S&P Mini), the EU6 (Euro currency), Corn or Gold? Trade opportunity. This is one of the key edges the screen based trader has – the ability to look across the entire spectrum of tradable assets for the market(s) that may be setting up for the best reward to risk opportunity. Why trade the chop fest in the ES day after day if the Australian Dollar offers better opportunity?

STOCK MARKET DAILY REPORT BY ONLINE ROBOTIC STOCK TRADER

Herbalife Ltd. (HLF-NYSE) shares got the smack down Thursday after Democratic Senator Edward Markey from Massachusetts announced he had written to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Mary Jo White, Federal Trade Commission Chair Edith Ramirez and Herbalife directly in an attempt to obtain more information about the business practices of the company. Herbalife shares were off by 10% or lower by almost 8 points at the closing bell. He requested a response by February 28. Markey, a member of the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, said in a press release, "There is nothing nutritional about possible pyramid schemes that promise financial benefit but result in economic ruin for vulnerable families."

Markey request comes after receiving a series of "serious complaints of improper pressure and financial hardship" from constituents who claim to have lost thousands of dollars buying supplies that they could not sell to customers. He said one family in Norton told him they lost $130,000, including their entire 401(k) retirement account, from investing with the company. According to the press release, another woman said she was pressured to recruit family members and spend more money to buy more products so that she could qualify as a "supervisor" in the Herbalife system. In the press release Markey said, "Herbalife may be a purveyor of health and wellness products, but some of its distributors are suffering serious economic ill-health as a result of their involvement in the company. I have serious questions about the business practices of Herbalife and their impact on my constituents, and I look forward to receiving responses to my inquiries." Markey said in his letter that he wanted regulators to "confirm that the company is acting in accordance with the federal securities laws under the authority of the Commission." Additionally, he asked Herbalife to say whether or not it is targeting minority communities.

William Ackman backed his accusation that Herbalife is a pyramid scheme with a $1 billion short bet that the companies share price would drop to zero under regulatory scrutiny and began approaching lawmakers and regulators with his evidence.

Carl Icahn along with other major investors have lined up against Ackman's bet by taking stakes in the company, making Herbalife shares some of the most closely watched on Wall Street. During 2013, Herbalife's share price surged 139% however, for year 2014 to date, share price has fallen 16.6%.

Herbalife has vehemently denied the accusations with spokeswoman Barbara Henderson reportedly saying that the company received the letter and looks "forward to an opportunity to introduce the company to him and address his concerns at his earliest convenience."

US Stock Market Daily Report For Today

Us Stock Market Daily Report 

In many states, particularly in the Upper Midwest, residents are being urged to conserve propane usage since liquid propane supplies are limited. Due to the LP shortage, propane suppliers are rationing. Many states, mostly in the Midwest and North have declared energy emergencies, loosening rules for propane transportation from other states, most of which are effective until the end of January. The emergency declaration permits propane shippers to drive more hours and focus on expediting propane shipments in order to mitigate tight supplies plus, getting the fuel to residents who need to keep warm. The shortage comes at an especially bad time as yet another Polar Vortex is making its way toward northern US states, sending frigid air with potentially double digit sub-zero temperatures.

Liquid propane (LP) is commonly used to heat homes in rural areas where natural gas lines simply don't reach. A colder than usual winter has increased the demand for propane. According to the Propane Education & Research Council, more than 14 million families across the United States use liquid or bottled propane to fuel their furnaces. Across the US over 1 million businesses rely on liquid propane.

The shortage of propane is not only as a result of lower than usual temperatures but also due to a greater than usual amount of propane used during November to dry corn crops during a rain-soaked harvest - according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. According to the EIA, “Propane prices in the Midwest will likely need to rise to keep propane in the region.” Average propane prices were 58 cents per gallon higher than the same period last year, in the middle of January, per the EIA.

Per stats on EIA website, average price per gallon for propane on 12/02/13 was $2.566 and as of 1/13/14 price was $2.861 per gallon - rising 0.295 per gallon in just over a month time period. In 2013 on 01/14/13 average price per gallon was $2.268. Propane demand for week ending 01/10/14 was 1.736 million barrels per day compared to week of 12/27/13 at 1.407 million barrels per day.

For residents that heat their homes with propane, here's some advice:

- Don't wait for an empty tank before calling your liquid propane supply company. Contact them well in advance to allow for extra time due to the propane shortage.

- Turn thermostats down slightly to conserve the propane you have.

- Check on your relatives and neighbors, especially elderly folks, just to make sure they're taken care of during these cold weather snaps.

European morning wrap

A lively enough session as USD dominates

USD strength has been the theme of the session thus far, at least after the first three hours which saw little by way of significant price action.

But as US 10-year treasury yields started to edge higher and with traders buoyed by the o/n article by WSJ’s Fed watcher Hilsenrath we had one sharp move across the board which saw USDJPY climb to 104.73 from 104.48,  with USDCHF taking out offers at 0.9135 from 0.9108 and posting highs of 0.9144.
GBPUSD dropped to 1.6408 from 1.6440, EURUSD to 1.3523 from 1.3553 and AUDUSD to 0.8784 from 0.8813.

Since then we’ve had some good two-way business in some of the pairs with cable edging back up to 1.6452 before dropping again to 1.6425 on weaker CBI data but overall the greenback grab has prevailed and tight ranges have ensued.

USDCAD finally took out the 1.1000 barrier in a rush triggering stops to 1.1020 before retreating while NZDUSD fell on the USD demand to dip below 0.8300 from 0.8336, slightly denting the CPI-led rally in Asia.

Are You Ready To Earn Profit From Stock Market

Are you ready for earnings?

Investors will have another big dose of corporate earnings to wade through -- even though the U.S. stock markets will only be open for four days of trading.

Stocks ended last week mixed, though it was a bumpy ride. The S&P 500 briefly moved into positive territory mid-week, before falling back into the red. The Dow Jones industrial average is also down for the year, while the Nasdaq has outperformed.

Banks were the main focus, with five out of the six largest U.S. banks reporting quarterly results that topped expectations.But the week ahead brings quarterly reports from a more diverse group of companies, including Dow components Johnson & Johnson (JNJ, Fortune 500), Verizon (VZ, Fortune 500), McDonald's (MCD, Fortune 500), Microsoft (MSFT, Fortune 500) and Procter & Gamble (PG, Fortune 500).

Big banks beat expectations

In addition, investors will get fourth quarter results from two of last year's top performing S&P 500 companies. Delta Airlines (DAL, Fortune 500) reports Tuesday. Netflix (NFLX), which surged nearly 300% last year and was the biggest gainer in the S&P 500, reports on Wednesday.

Starbucks (SBUX, Fortune 500) and eBay (EBAY, Fortune 500) are other big names to watch for this week.

Overall, earnings in the final three months of 2013 are expected to be up 6.1% versus the same period in 2012, according to FactSet Research. But there have been a number of profit warnings from some bellwether companies, including UPS (UPS, Fortune 500)and Royal Dutch Shell (RDSA).

Meanwhile, the only economic data of note this week is Thursday's report on new home sales for December.

While the job market was much weaker than expected last month, most other indicators for December have been better than expected, including a solid report on retail sales last week.

UPS warns Christmas delivery woes hit bottom line

After last year's spectacular rally, investors have been looking for signs the economy will be able to keep the bull market going in 2014.

In general, investors are expecting another good year for stocks, but not as strong as last year. Many are bracing for a correction, usually defined as a decline of 10% or more. But even then, investors seem confident that stocks will ultimately end the year higher than where they started.

Automated Trading Platform and It's Advantages

What is An automated trading platform

An automated trading platform is a computer trading program that automatically submits trades to an exchange. Automated trading platform are often used with other forms of electronic trading, such as electronic communication  networks, dark pools and algorithmic trading. As of the year 2010 more than 70% of the stock shares traded on the NYSE and NASDAQ are generated from automated trading systems.They are designed to trade stocks, futures and Forex based on a predefined set of rules which determine when to enter a trade, when to exit it and how much to invest in it.

Automated trading platform, also referred to as mechanical trading systems, algorithmic trading, automated trading, online robotic trading or system trading, allow traders to establish specific rules for both trade entries and exits that, once programmed, can be automatically executed via a computer. The trade entry and exit rules can be based on simple conditions such as a moving average crossover, or can be complicated strategies that require a comprehensive understanding of the programming language specific to the user's trading platform, or the expertise of a qualified programmer. Automated trading systems typically require the use of software that is linked to a direct access broker, and any specific rules must be written in that platform's proprietary language.

Ability to Backtest

Backtesting applies trading rules to historical market data to determine the viability of the idea. When designing a system for automated trading, all rules need to be absolute, with no room for interpretation (the computer cannot make guesses – it has to be told exactly what to do). Traders can take these precise sets of rules and test them on historical data before risking money in live trading. Careful backtesting allows traders to evaluate and fine-tune a trading idea, and to determine the system's expectancy – the average amount that a trader can expect to win (or lose) per unit of risk.

 Preserve Discipline

Because the trade rules are established and trade execution is performed automatically, discipline is preserved even in volatile markets. Discipline is often lost due to emotional factors such as fear of taking a loss, or the desire to eke out a little more profit from a trade. Automated trading helps ensure that discipline is maintained because the trading plan will be followed exactly. In addition, pilot-error is minimized, and an order to buy 100 shares will not be incorrectly entered as an order to sell 1,000 shares.

Achieve Consistency

One of the biggest challenges in trading is to plan the trade and trade the plan. Even if a trading plan has the potential to be profitable, traders who ignore the rules are altering any expectancy the system would have had. There is no such thing as a trading plan that wins 100% of the time – losses are a part of the game. But losses can be psychologically traumatizing, so a trader who has two or three losing trades in a row might decide to skip the next trade. If this next trade would have been a winner, the trader has already destroyed any expectancy the system had. Automated trading systems allow traders to achieve consistency by trading the plan.

Improved Order Entry Speed

Since computers respond immediately to changing market conditions, automated systems are able to generate orders as soon as trade criteria are met. Getting in or out of a trade a few seconds earlier can make a big difference in the trade's outcome. As soon as a position is entered, all other orders are automatically generated, including protective stop losses and profit targets. Markets can move quickly, and it is demoralizing to have a trade reach the profit target or blow past a stop loss level – before the orders can even be entered. An automated trading system prevents this from happening.

Diversify Trading

Automated trading platform permit the user to trade multiple accounts or various strategies at one time. This has the potential to spread risk over various instruments while creating a hedge against losing positions. What would be incredibly challenging for a human to accomplish is efficiently executed by a computer in a matter of milliseconds. The computer is able to scan for trading opportunities across a range of markets, generate orders and monitor trades.

Minimize Emotions

Automated trading platform minimize emotions throughout the trading process. By keeping emotions in check, traders typically have an easier time sticking to the plan. Since trade orders are executed automatically once the trade rules have been met, traders will not be able to hesitate or question the trade. In addition to helping traders who are afraid to "pull the trigger", automated trading can curb those who are apt to overtrade – buying and selling at every perceived opportunity.
