Chances are, if you’re reading this blog, you have an interest in trading systems.  After all, that’s what trading with Wizetrade® is all about – using a trading system to help you achieve success in the markets.  While we here at Wizetrade believe that trading systems can be integral in successful trading, we also understand that they may not be for everyone.  Moreover, there are many systems out there that claim to be a “sure thing” in discovering all the right stock, option, commodity or currency pick.  Just remember:  if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

Most trading systems use some sort of algorithm to produce “rules” to be utilized when deciding whether to enter or exit a trade. If the security in question meets the criteria of the rule, the user should consider executing the trade.  Some algorithms are based on moving averages, support and resistance prices, overall long-term trends and relative strength, as well as other specific criteria selected by the trading system creator.  The purpose of a good trading system is to provide you with a tool to help you make informed trading decisions.

At Wizetrade, we are constantly working on improving our trading system software to help you make confident, intelligent trading decisions.  However, we understand that a trading system is only a tool, not a miracle worker.  There is no system out there that can accurately predict 100% of the time whether a stock is going to go up or down.  Trading systems are meant to be used to help you with your trading decisions, not make them for you.  Remember, you’re in control of your trading.

If you want to learn more about trading systems, as well as what to look for before investing in a trading system, visit our website.  And, as always, Wizetrade is here to answer any questions you may have regarding your trading.  As for me, I’m off to see what Wizetrade is saying about the market today.

Happy trading!

Online trading for an online society

05.22.09 - 01:39pm

Remember the days before the Internet?  Before computers?  People used to call up their stock broker to place trades.  The trading pits of the New York Stock Exchange were an elusive place to those who weren’t considered insiders.  Wall Street was a territory limited to elite stock brokers, and was viewed as off-limits to anyone without a large fortune.

Thankfully, those days are long gone.  Now, in addition to the thousands of online products, applications and networks, the stock market is accessible to almost everyone through online trading.  Trading online is one of the latest fads to come from the Internet, and there’s a good chance that it’s here to stay.  Which brings us to the next question:  how do you go about trading online?

As with any venture, it’s always wise to learn as much as you can about a new task or hobby before you start it.  That’s why Wizetrade has created a handy little website that can help you avoid some of the major pitfalls associated with trading online.  Not only does it provide some basic information, but it outlines ways in which you can protect yourself from identity theft and fraud.  After all, with this new technology comes new risks for traders.  If you’d like more information about trading online, you can visit our website.

And, as always, if you have questions about trading, you can watch Wizetrade TV, or give us a call at 800.304.8881.  Thankfully for us, trading has gone from the secret moneymaking scheme of Wall Street fat cats to an accessible, legitimate opportunity for everyone.  Best of all, Wizetrade can help you master trading online with its powerfully simple software.  If you haven’t already learned the art of trading online, what better time to get started than now?  Once you’ve become a tech-savvy trader, be sure to check us out on Facebook and Twitter, too.

Happy Trading!

Let’s get back to basics

05.19.09 - 01:50pm

In today’s technologically advanced age, it’s easy to get caught up in the constant bombardment of information.  From Twitter to Wikipedia and beyond, the entire world is at our fingertips.  Sometimes, all this advanced information can be overwhelming.  I don’t know about you, but after I’ve wandered around the Internet for a while, I end up with “sensory overload.”  This can make my mind even cloudier than it was when I started.

The same can be said about our approach to trading stocks.  Often, when we want to learn about stock market trading, we are cast into the vast world of technical information.  This can cause us to forget about the basics of stock market investing.  And, as we all know, it’s incredibly important to have a solid foundation for our trading.  If we lose sight of the basics of stock market investing, no advanced analytical tool or technological masterpiece will help us be as successful as we can be.

So, let’s get back to the basics of learning about stock market trading.  If you’ve never traded a stock before in your life, you need to start at the beginning.  Even if you claim to be a stock market expert, it never hurts to have a refresher course in stock market fundamentals, does it?  After all, it really all boils down to one seemingly simple task:  buy low and sell high.

Wizetrade® has put together an informational web page to help those people that want to learn about stock market trading and investing.  Whether you’re a seasoned investor or a stock market novice, this website can help you learn about the fundamentals of the stock market.

Once you’ve absorbed the information on this website, if you haven’t already started trading the markets, now would be a good time to take that next step.  Thankfully, Wizetrade can help you by providing you with the tools and training you need to start trading successfully.  From its easy-to-use trend recognition software, to its Paper Trading engine which allows you to practice what you have learned about stock market trading before risking any money, Wizetrade has you covered.  You can also start watching Wizetrade TV® in High Definition every day at no cost.  After you learn about stock market trading, it’s time to take the next step with Wizetrade.

Got a penny? Trade a stock!

05.08.09 - 12:14pm

If you’re like I was, you may have thought that the stock market was just for Wall Street fat cats.  After all, what housewife from Michigan or retired Army pilot from Arizona can afford to buy 1000 shares of Google?  Well, there’s good news:  the stock market has truly become accessible to every person through the existence of penny stocks.

A penny stock is generally defined as any stock that trades at a relatively low price or market capitalization, and is usually traded outside of the major exchanges.  These stocks usually carry a higher risk than your average Microsoft or Google stock, since the companies have a risk of not being as stable.  However, when you do your research (with Wizetrade®), you can certainly find some great deals on stocks.  And in this economy, we need all the bargains we can get!

So, is a penny stock the answer to all of our problems?  Probably not… like I said, not every penny stock is perfect for every trader.  That’s why I’ve got Wizetrade.  I can use WizeFinder® to scope out some low-priced stocks that are showing strong signs of buying or selling pressure, and can plug those stock symbols into my Wizetrade Stocks software to check out the charts.  Another great way to watch the power of penny stocks in action is to catch Karl Haas’ Five and Dime segment on Wizetrade TV® every Tuesday and Thursday at 12:30 p.m. Eastern time.  Karl uses the Wizetrade charts to analyze different low-priced and low-capped stocks to help you spot buying and selling trends in penny stocks.

If you want to learn more about penny stocks, you should check out this website.  It gives you a little more insight into the finer workings of penny stocks, and can help you make an educated decision as to whether trading penny stocks is right for you.

As for me, I’m going bargain hunting to find the next great penny stock in my WizeFinder software.  Wish me luck!

Happy trading!

Watch The Opening Bell on Wizetrade TV-HD

03.06.09 - 09:03am

It’s one of the most exciting sounds for a trader to hear - The Opening Bell - on every weekday morning at 9:30am EST. It’s amazing how something as simple as ringing a bell can bring about such anticipation and emotions. It’s been compared to the beginning of a race, announcing, “Gentlemen, start your engines!” 

Any trader will tell you that the importance isn’t on the bell ringing - it’s what you do after the bell rings that counts. The best way for me to get ready to take on the stock market every day is to watch the show on Wizetrade TV. The dynamic duo of Kipp & Karl helps me spot the big moneymakers in the morning with their special segments and chart analysis.

I love hearing about Kipp’s latest picks for his Pre-Market Poppers! These guys really know what they’re talking about. The experts on The Opening Bell show us how the latest news can affect the charts before the bell even rings. From earnings reports to the latest bailout news, we can find out how the Wizetrade charts are showing the buying and selling pressure of the hottest stocks.

If you haven’t gotten in on the action yet, what are you waiting for? Visit Wizetrade TV and sign up for free today - you’ll be glad you did!
