Welcome to Unbiased Trading (tm)!

Our philosophy is to approach markets with "No Bull - No Bear - No Bias" (tm). You'll find market and charts commentary here. News feeds by topic are below ... browse our posts by label, and check other sites of interest (listed below).

My other two sites are Unbiased Trading - No Bull, No Bear, No Bias (tm) [or "UBTNB3"] blogspot (charting for traders - mostly technical analysis, and also including feed from my Twitters); and No Bull - No Bear - No Bias (tm) blogspot (trader education about techniques and technical analysis). My occasional tweets are at Twitter.com/UnbiasedTrading.

Money management is critical to the success of any trader or investor, but it's important to have good analysis, whether swing trading, intraday trading or investing. Browse this site (home) and see how Unbiased Trading can help you too!

Other sites of interest

Here's are other sites of interest that I've found helpful and like to reference for input. This order isn't necessarily to indicate priority, of course:

1. Watershed research on market forecasting from Chartsedge (including very neat "maps" for intraday), by Mike Korell: Weekly cycle charts at Chartsedge, and daily (intraday) charts posted periodically at Chartsedge Daily Market Maps. (For access to daily maps when posted overnight, you'll need the reasonably-priced ChartsEdge subscription.) The RSS feed for Chartsedge's daily (intraday) Market Maps charts and comments is below.

2. Andre Gratian's market analysis which he puts forward at SafeHaven.com, and his website is Market Turning Points.

3. Elliott Wave as presented by Anthony Caldaro at Elliott Wave Lives On (his charts are available from the charts links he provides there).

4. Cycles work by Tim Wood at his Cycles News & Views service with a very good track record and a remarkable amount of work, explanation and attention to detail (his cycles work spans time frames from very long term to intermediate and short term, also comments on Kondratieff waves and Dow Theory, and addressses equities markets, bonds, gold, currencies, commodities and more).

5. Terry Laundry's T Theory work at his T Theory website; technical analysis by Kenny at Kenny's Technical Analysis Blog; trendline analysis at http://xtrends.blogspot.com/; and Carl Swenlin's work at DecisionPoint.com.

6. Financial astrology and sociological-economic commentary by Raymond Merriman at mmacycles.com, including free weekly comments at Merriman Market Analyst Weekly Comments.

7. PTV-Investing Blog where Andy Askey uses Gann analysis and price/time overbought/oversold measures, plus volume to assess market strength. Also keep an eye on Elliott Wave analysis at AllAllan's blogspot, and Daneric's Elliott Waves blogspot too. You might check out Carl Futia's blogspot, and Carolan website with "solunar" calendar and more. Drop in at Charts and Coffee blogspot too, for a range of market charts. May start checking out The Chart Pattern Trader blogspot ...

8. Bill Luby's VIX and More blogspot. Also VIX, put/call (options) and sentiment commentary by Todd Salamone and others, including Bernie Schaeffer himself of course, at Schaeffer's Research site. Sentiment surveys by the ISE (the ISEE charts and data, accessible for equities/indices/ETFs), SentimenTrader, and the TickerSense sentiment poll at TickerSense.

9. Weekly COT (commitments of traders) reports - sadly, they only come out each Friday afternoon reporting on COT positions as of the preceding Tuesday, so always a bit dated: COT (Commitments of Traders). There's also COTS Timer blogspot. And check out the Option Pain CBOE (Max-Pain) Calculator from OptionPain.com.

10. Excellent trading education, training and psychology at Brett Steenbarger's TraderFeed blogspot. Weekly economic calendar as presented by MarketWatch; and FXStreet.com's daily updated economic calendar covering the U.S. and other countries.

11. Articles and interviews posted at GreenLightAdvisor; "The Macro View" at Seeking Alpha; Markets news, insights and perspectives at Minyanville News & Views; a blogs review at 4Best4Worst Blogs; anything at Financial Ninja; posts at Bespoke Investment Group; quick wit along with some wisdom and insights: Crossing Wall Street; and financial news analysis from the experts at Naked Capitalism.

12. Charting you can do at Stockcharts (and if you're doing intra-day trading you should consider their subscription package that includes intraday real-time data) ... don't overlook their very good free "Chart School" including how to use indicators, at Stockcharts Chart School.

13. My blogspot at Unbiased Trading - No Bull, No Bear, No Bias (tm), which provides a number of market-related gadgets including real-time stock tickers (you can customize with symbols you want to follow), market data, money tip of the day, and news feeds on market topics. And my blogspot at http://www.nobullnobearnobias.blogspot.com/ dedicated to trader education - stuff to help learn how to use the charts presented here and other trader tools and resources.

14. My other blogspot "Tao of Trading" with commentaries about psychology and similar aspects of trading, at Tao of Trading.

15. My newest blogspot, Christa's Fine Art Paintings, a gallery of artwork my mother painted through the decades.

16. My GrampsCare blog for those who, like me, are involved with taking care of their elderly parents or relatives (or friends) at home.
