THIS WEEK’S ECONOMIC AND EARNINGS EVENTS BROUGHT TO YOU BY TONI HANSEN http://www.tonihansen.com
ADVANCED INTRADAY TRADING TACTICS REVEALED Dear Trader, Would you like to learn the stock selection tactics that allow professionals to pull tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of dollars, out of the market in only matter of 2-3 hours per day? Traders who specialize in trading the market gaps gain instant access to the most volatile, and hence the most lucrative, stocks every day. Gap traders are not held hostage by the daily up and down movements of the overall market, nor by the whim of policy makers in Washington. Better yet, trading momentum gaps requires no overnight scanning and you can easily come in, trade the opening momentum, and be done with your trading day in under two hours! I’ve been trading momentum gaps in stocks for nearly 15 years and they remain among my favorite strategies due to their unique flexibility to allow me to trade when I want to trade, particularly when I have only a limited amount of time on a particular day to focus on the markets. The reward potential on momentum gaps is also among the best there is. I created my Mastering Momentum Gaps course to help guide new traders through the core concepts of gap trading, but as you’ll soon discover, this course is loaded with advanced intraday and swingtrading strategies and tips I’ve learned over the past 15 years of online trading and still apply to this day! Learn more at http://www.tonihansen.com/gaptrading/aug2011.html. All my best, Toni Hansen
