Is the USD on a Doggy Downer?
Mark Schumacher
While scanning the financial news of late, it is pretty hard to build a case for the USD strengthening, in my opinion. There are a number of factors I have not seen much "to do" about. This scares me. For example, California is in horrible shape. If it were its own country, California would...

Paper Trading: It’s all about finding the Benchmarks!
Mark Schumacher
The old adage "paper trade, paper trade, paper trade" has been around for a long time. After all, it makes sense! Most students I talk with think paper trading is learning to time one's entry or know how to technically read the charts prior to entry. But I think a lot of folks miss one...

Trading for Potential Profits using Support and Resistance!
Mark Schumacher
One of the major factors I look for in trading is my potential entry price relative to resistance and support levels. When trading Long (i.e., trend is up), I want my potential entry price to be just above support, my potential stop just below support, and my potential target about halfway between support...
