Leading economic indicators have been up for several months. Trailing indicators are now up too. Why?

Posted on April 6th, 2010 by admin

Ever since President Obama was inaugurated the Republicites have been claiming that every action he took was going to destroy the economy. His stimulus plan was going to "run the economy into the ground". As the stock market continued it’s slide early on in the Obama Presidency, the Republicites screamed that Obama was causing the slide. It got so bad that the Dow Jones dropped to about 6500 just 13 months ago. Republicans screamed that Obama’s policies caused it. Now, we see that the stock market is up over 50% since that time and it hovering just under 10,000!
Housing starts have been up for quite awhile. Factory orders, material orders are all up. All the leading economic indicators have been trending upward for over nine months now, so the Republicans have had to scream and hollar over and over about the unemployment rate. "Unemployment is up" they screamed. "Obama said it wouldn’t go up" they hollared.
Even first semester economics students know that the unemployment rate is a trailing economic indicator. i.e. it doesn’t improve until the economy has already started to improve.
Now we see that the job losses have bottomed out, just like the stock market did. The number of jobs is now growing.
What is causing this economic recovery? Did it happen because of Obama or in spite of him?
Francoise, you have by far given me the biggest laugh I have had in a long time.

….under 8 years of Bush america was bummed out…..now everything is getting better……

Forex Tester indicators?

Posted on April 2nd, 2010 by admin

Does anyone know where to get the Center of Gravity indicator’s in DLL for use with Forex Tester? Or alternatively how to convert the indicator from a .ex4 (for use in Metatrader) to .dll for use in Forex Tester.
Any help is appreciated.

Center of Gravity actually has a zero lag and allows to define turning points precisely but I am not sure on how to convert it.

Bearish Technical Indicators - Looking for some ideas?

Posted on March 29th, 2010 by admin

I have been trading for about 8 years now but only in Bullish Markets. I am by all rights a short term Swing Trader or 5 to 10 day plays. I understand that there are no "holy grails" for trading but on the technical side of things is there a proven indicator or group of indicators that seem to work well. I have a back scanner program to test any ideas. I am only at this point in time looking for short side as I am very comfortable with the Long side. I have both Telechart and Stock-finder for technical analysis. Any tips worth back testing would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I look for the put call ratio to be very low and begin to rise. I also look for the new individual stock highs to peak and drop off while the market is still rising. A spike in volatility while the market is at new highs is the signal to get out now or go short.

Can you recommend a free software for technical analysis?

What is causing my RPM indicator to not work?

Posted on March 23rd, 2010 by admin

What can be causing the RPM indicator to not work on my car. When I start it up, the indicator works fine, but after a while of driving, I notice it doesn’t move and stays on 0. What could be a possible cause for this… and no I’m not driving a Toyota!
My car is a 2003 Nissan Altima with less the 61K miles.

probably a loose or shorted wire.

How to determine the NEW support and resistance in a stock chart like analyst do?

Posted on March 15th, 2010 by admin

I’ve been playing the stock market and I wonder how analysts determine where the new support and resistance of a stock in a stock chart would be. Sometimes a stock might break from its current resistance, and analysts can usually predict where the new support and resistance would be.

Knowing the current support and resistance is easier, but I have no idea how to predict the next support and resistance once the stock breaks from its resistance or support. I’ve learned some of the indicators like MACD, Bollinger Band, RSI, and etc and I have no problem understanding those. But I still don’t know how to predict the new support and resistance.

So, how do I predict the new support and resistance of a stock? It’d be nice if I can do it myself instead of waiting for analysts to do it for me. If anyone can provide me with tutorial links or some tips that would be great.

Look at the chart. The most recent peak in the stock that is above the current price is resistance. The most recent bottom of a dip that is below the current price is the support.

Why is GDP Per capita not the best indicator of economic development?

Posted on March 15th, 2010 by admin

It is a question for my project. It also says ‘think about comparing the prices of things in different counties’ as a hint. Any ideas?

Bad hint. GDP per capita, even GDP per capita using purchasing power parity, is a bad measure because it only reflects the total monetary output of the economy; it says nothing about how that output was achieved, which is really what development was all about.

As an extreme example, consider Qatar. Its nominal per capita GDP is #2 or #3 in the world:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)_per_capita
Its GDP (PPP) per capita makes it #1 or #2 in the world:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)_per_capita
But Qatar makes most of its money by selling oil and natural gas
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/qa.html

Its economy is not developed. For example, every developed economy has a large services sector. (For the U.S., it is 76.9% of GDP, even for China it is 40.5%)
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ch.html
For Qatar it is only 34.1% - by this metric Qatar is less developed than China.

Qatar’s literacy is under 90% and the expected number of years in school is only 13. As developed countries go, Greece is pretty poor (per capita PPP GDP of $32,100, less than a third of Qatar’s), but even it has a literacy rate of 96% and a mean number of school years of 17.
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/gr.html

Similarly for Brunei
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/bx.html
Kuwait
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ku.html
and other underdeveloped countries rich in resources and even money.

The traditional metrics for economic development (as opposed to wealth of the economy) used to be things like tons of steel or sulphuric acid per person. But that was in the days of the manufacturing sector.

One could argue that today it is more likely to be something like the number of personal computers per person.
