HYPER Traders - there are no HYPER trading alerts for Friday, August 26th at open.  The Federal Reserve is expected to make their annual statement which will undoubtedly have an impact on the markets, so we are going to site tomorrow out.  Stay patient, and enjoy your weekends!

One of our favorite chart setups is the DOJI setup.  At its most basic level, the DOJI is when there is a pronounced trend in a stock, and the DOJI bar predicts the end of the run and where the stock has a probability to reverse the trend.  The DOJI bar is one where the open and close price of the bar at equal or close to it. 

We will be creating a lesson on the DOJI set up soon, but we came across these great setups and wanted to pass them on to our members.  Happy trading!

IT Members -

We are introducing our brand new GAPPER trading system tomorrow, Thursday, morning.  Look for at least three trade alerts to be posted within the first one hour of US market hours.  If you are just hearing about the GAPPER system, check it out here.

Experienced traders are well aware of the Volatility Index - or VIX - and know that it can have a drastic impact on the how much the stock markets move in any given day.  Put simple, a low VIX number means there is not much fear in the market, and traders can expect smaller moves in the markets themselves.  Conversely, if the VIX is at a higher number, bigger swings can be expected.  Take a look at the VIX chart over the last 3 months:

You can see that in the beginning of August, the VIX made a major jump into the 40 range, more than double what it was trading at prior to this period.  And, if you look at market movements during this same period you will see huge swings, including 500 point moves on the DOW in a single day.

Again, the VIX let's traders know how much fear or uncertainty there is in the markets.  So, when you are looking to place trades, especially buy and hold trades, be sure to recognize what type of volatility environment you are in.  If there is a high VIX number, be ready for a wild ride like we have been experiencing since the beginning of August!

During uncertain times in the markets, Gold has long been a safe haven for those that don't want to sit on the sidelines with their investments but are too scared to keep them solely in securities.  And after the recent downward moves in the markets, investors have sent the price of Gold to all time highs reaching over ,900 for a single ounce of gold!

But, the past two days have seen that rally slow down tremendously.  Today in trading, Gold lost over 5% of its trading value and is now trading at ,758 per ounce.  Do you like Gold?  Will it push through this retraction and continue higher?
