Star Wars: Jedi Lessons On Making Money With Trading (based on the article)
Ignore the Special Effects, What’s the Story?
"Translated from George Lucasspeak, this means you have to ignore short-term events and focus on the big picture."
Know the Dark Side of the Force.
"Know what kind of risk you can tolerate and how much money you can afford to lose given your age."
Reconsider Retirement.
"If you enjoy work, this is a no-brainer. There’s no rule that says you have to leave the workforce at a certain age."
Keep Developing Your Inner Force.
"Every Jedi Knight knows that you have to keep working on your skills to become stronger and wiser. That means continuing your education and engaging in lifelong learning."
The Biggest Advantage is the Least Glamorous.
"The characters who survive do so through pluck, resilience and smarts. They figure out a way to beat the nasty armies who are better equipped and more numerous. That means thinking outside of the box. What do you need to do to survive? Start a new business? Acquire a new skill? Change careers? You can start your transformation by looking at the industry you’re in: What direction is it going in? Are you going to wait around for a layoff or do something differently."
Initial Rate Hikes Seldom Prove Toxic To Stocks (based on the article)
"Chair Yellen announced that, for the first time in seven years, easy money will become slightly less easy. The target rate will be set at between 0.25 and 0.50 percent, which doesn’t sound like much, but it’s important. Plus, this comes at a time when fellow industrialized nations and economic areas around the globe are considering further monetary easing measures."
"The question on investors’ minds, though, is what effect they might have on their investments. To answer this, CLSA analyzed what happened to the U.S. dollar and stocks in the S&P 500 Index 60 trading days before and after the initial rate hike in past cycles and then calculated the averages. It’s important to keep in mind that, aside from rising interest rates, a multitude of unique factors—from geopolitics to economic conditions to the weather—played roles in influencing the outcomes. Nevertheless, CLSA’s research is instructive."

How to Trade Gold Yearly Pivot Points (adapted from dailyfx article)
- Commodity pit traders have used pivot points for decades to determine potential support and resistance areas.
- Gold yearly pivot points from 2013 forecasted significant turning points
- Gold is approaching the 2014 central yearly pivot point at 1360.82
In this continuing series highlighting the seldom mentioned topic of yearly pivots, gold will be covered in detail. We will look at how yearly pivots in 2013 marked significant turning points in gold as well as the levels to watch out for with the new set of 2014 yearly pivots.The year 2013 was not very kind to the shiny metal. Gold plunged 27% or just over $450/oz. in one of the biggest declines in many years. However, after hitting a three year low of 1178.86 back in December 2013, gold has managed to crawl back higher in 2014.Yearly pivots marked gold's decline with pinpoint accuracy.
Gold 2013 Yearly Pivots :
The sudden and severe $141/oz. drop in gold in the beginning of 2013 caught many gold traders off guard. However, traders who watched gold yearly pivots knew ahead of time that a close below the central pivot (P) at $1661.75/oz.
Notice in the chart above how price hugged the central pivot red line. The close below the yearly central pivot marked the beginning of a year-long decline to 3-year lows.
Even after reaching a low of 1208, the subsequent gold rally in July was stopped dead in its tracks at the S2 yearly pivot at $1392.79/oz. Gold went on to make the low of the year at 1179.86. Yearly pivots were useful for determining the beginning of the decline as well as locating areas to re-enter or add more to a position. You may now be wondering what the 2014 yearly pivots have in store for gold.
Gold 2014 Yearly Pivots :
Gold Yearly Pivot Trading Plan
Gold starts 2014 higher than where it left off in 2013. Crossing above the psychologically important $1300 level, gold is a long way from the lofty highs in the $1900 area. The first major yearly pivot hurdle is just $40.00 away at the central yearly pivot at 1360.82. This was also the highs of October 2013. Pivot points often act as magnets “pulling” price up or down to the nearest pivot.
The current weekly Japanese candlestick pattern is an indecision doji/spinning top. This gives us a “fork in the road” or decision point; price could break higher or lower from this point and continue to trend in the breakout direction. A new candle is due out next Monday and if it can break above the 1332 high of the doji candle could lead to an explosive move toward the R1 pivot and beyond. Moves above the central pivot are regarded as bullish.
On the other hand, a break below 1307.26 low of the weekly doji candle opens move toward the lows of 2013 in the 1186 area and a test of the S1 yearly pivot at 1024.25. Remember that yearly pivots represent potential support and resistance. Using the pivot point calculation on the high low and close of 2013, these levels can be created. Yearly pivot levels can help traders determine price targets for taking profit as well as entry and stop areas.
