Traders & Investors Club Meeting - 21st April 2009
Trading Techniques: Combining Indicators
"Which indicator(s) should I use?"
This question comes up time and time again so this evening we shall be looking at combining different types of indicators in order to provide ourselves with a robust trading system. In particular, we shall examine Wilder's RSI, one of the most popular, yet most widely misused, technical indicators and discover how we can tune it up for the prevailing market conditions.
Kevin Barry of the Traders & Investors Club will be describing how to ensure that the indicators that you choose for your strategy complement each other and how to avoid the dreaded collinearity. What does that mean? Come along and find out.
Intermarket Analysis And What It Means To Your Portfolio
With interest rates and politics moving the markets everyday you must not treat any market in isolation. Looking at how markets move each other and their relationships should be a daily ritual for any trader. Simon Dixon of Benedix will be looking at key relationships between different markets and how they affect each other. What is the effect of an interest rate cut on the price of bonds? How does Gold affect the price of the dollar? What is the relationship between oil and the UK markets? Has anything changed in this crisis? What is Japan doing to maintain her competitive edge?
Simon will be examining the key relationship between financial markets and the effects that politics has on these relationships. We will then move into looking at how those relationships are doing as Kevin Barry runs through the current market roundup.

David Tosh of ODL Securites will be giving us a brief introduction to the ODL Spread Betting Platform and making you an offer which is too good to refuse.
Market Roundup And Open Forum
In order to be a successful trader in the modern world, you must be aware of how the price of wheat or an after dinner speech by Ben Bernanke will affect your stock and property portfolios. Kevin Barry will present a brief summary of the recent global market action and throw the floor open to the audience for their take on the current trading environment.
