Jim Wyckoff on the Markets

Hello, my name is Jim Wyckoff. I am the chief technical and market analyst at FutureSource.com, the No. 1 ranked futures and options website in the world. I am also the editor of the futures markets advisory newsletters: "Jim Wyckoff on the U.S. Markets" and "Jim Wyckoff on the International Markets."

My mission is to help you become a more successful trader. I will strive to accomplish this through my ongoing educational features in my two newsletters, and by continuing to provide you with market information and trading ideas that are straightforward and easy to understand.

• For the beginning to intermediate trader: My newsletters are a "must-have" futures market and educational guide for you. Most of you are seeking trading and market knowledge, and I will provide it. Those of you who have read my features know that I communicate ideas and sometimes-difficult concepts very clearly, so that even beginners can understand them.
• For the veteran traders with years of experience: You will receive the fresh trading ideas and that "second opinion" that you many times seek. Also, you may just get some needed "refreshers" on certain topics.
• For all traders: I will alert my newsletter subscribers, in advance, to the futures markets that look most promising regarding potentially profitable trading opportunities.

If a trader tried to study and learn all there is to learn about a futures market or an individual stock - including knowing all the fundamentals that impact, or could impact the market or stock - it would be nearly a full-time job. And even if a trader did spend all his time studying a market, he or she still would not know as much, as soon, as the professional insiders. This is why successful traders employ technical analysis.

I also believe traders who have been involved with commodity and financial or stock futures markets have a trading advantage in today's stock market environment. This is because the more volatile stock market environment of today is just like the volatile commodity and financial futures markets that have been around for many years. Being a successful trader in volatile markets requires specialized entry and exit strategies, in order to maximize profits. Successful futures traders have been forced to deal with volatility on a routine basis.
