Certus Trading Reviews: Why Every Student Should Have a Mentor As a trader/educator, there are few things more rewarding as students telling you that they had a positive experience with your mentoring and that they learned from what you taught them. Let’s face it – reviews are a treasure because they provide valuable feedback about how your students are performing, and at the same time, it feels good to be recognized for something that you take pride in doing. When I was starting out, I had the privilege of a mentor’s guidance helping me along my journey.  George Fontanills taught […]

Certus Trading Review: The Forgotten Pattern? As a technical trader, I spend a good amount of time looking for repetitive patterns that re-occur over and over and over again. With the help of data-crunching software, anyone can easily write a few scripts and perform their own analysis to find highly repetitive setups.   When it comes to repetitive patterns, we often talk about chart patterns such as breakout confirmation, bullish and bearish reversal pivots, and continuation patterns that occur frequently with a high degree of accuracy.  However, we often overlook ONE type of highly repetitive pattern that occurs every year.

Certus Trading Review: How To Trade Spain? As you know, the Catalan people in Spain held a referendum a couple of weeks ago to determine whether the region should pursue independence from Spain. Long story short, the Spanish government didn’t like that and police fired rubber bullets at people who were heading to vote. Regardless of which political side you are on, it is a sad story when people and families get hurt. Of course, the media outlets are having a field day with this. Headlines I’ve been seeing include: SPAIN IN CRISIS: Stock Market Crash Over Catalonia Chaos … […]

Certus Trading Review: This Currency Pair Is Bullish (USD/CHF) Before I talk about a nice setup in the US Dollar/Swiss Franc pair, I want to quickly reiterate that with $50 crude oil now being the floor, oil stocks should continue to move higher.  So if you are missing that energy component in your portfolio, it’s time to inject this sector back into the rotation. If you missed my post last week, click here to see how I traded Devon Energy (DVN). Now, back to today’s topic.  If you are not currently trading currencies, you should look into it.  In addition […]

Certus Trading Review: Good looking setup for this energy stock – Devon Energy (DVN) Oil has recently tested the $50 resistance area multiple times, and the commodity is poised to break out to the upside soon and flip $50 into a strong long-term support level.

In today’s video, I am going to show you the critical elements that I look for on DVN’s chart, where the stock is heading, and the best way to trade this move. You can then apply the same strategy to your favorite […]

Certus Trading Review: A Boring But Predictable Stock – Dollar General (DG) Everyday CNBC is telling us how exciting AMZN is, or how ABC company is about to find a cure for a super virus, or how XYZ startup will take down Google. Sure they are exciting news, but they are impossible to trade because these stocks have already spiked by the time they talk about them on TV or online. I prefer stocks that are boring but predictable. After all, trading is about making money … we don’t trade for fun, do we? Sorry to be a party pooper […]
