Today the DOW mad ea huge move to the upside after nearly 3 straight weeks of selling off.  The market gained 430 points throughout the trading hours.

Investors weren't sure how the markets were going to respond to the FED decision to keep rates at historical lows through 2013.  This announcement was made just after 2:30 EST, and you can see on the chart above that the DOW gave back all of its daily gains, and more as it digested the news.  Finally at just before 3:00 EST a huge buy trend set in that carried us to the end of the day.  In total the DOW closed the day up 430 points.

Stock markets took a nosedive the first day of trading after S&P downgraded the US's credit rating from AAA to AA+.

Today stock market's had their biggest single day losses since the market crash days of 2008, leaving investors worried about days and weeks to come.  After opening the day down about 24 points, the S&P continued to sell off throughout the day, finishing the day down nearly 7%, wiping out all of the profits the market has made since the beginning of the year.

Is this the bottom?  Will the sell off continue?  As folks are watching stock prices tank they see the same affects on their 401k and retirement plans, only adding to the increased fear in the markets.  Only time will tell if we are going to get a market bounce or conitnue lower.  What do you think?

Tuesday morning saw something out of the stock markets that it hasn't seen in far, far too long - GREEN BARS!  Stocks opened higher after a 15% decline in the last two weeks alone.

Will we conitnue higher?  Is this rally short lived?

As many of you may have noticed, there is often a difference (sometimes, quite large) between the listed entry price and what the price of the stock/currency opens at the following morning.  This is called a "price gap," and is unavoidable because these stocks are traded all over the world, 24 hours a day.

That is why, when you see a proposed HYPER trade you will see an entry price, then the explanation of "or higher" "or lower."  If we are buying a call we will say get in with an entry price of ### "or lower" since we are expecting the price to go up.  For a put, the reverse is true.

Look at this, chart of BP (a proposed trade on 8/9):

[chart|nid=1628]

You can see the close price on 8/8 is 38.19.  This is our entry price for the next day or lower (since it's a call).  The next morning, BP opened at 39.38, well above the listed entry price.  Thus, the trade is valid, and we will have to avoid this trade.  Be patient, the strategy works.  Follow the alerts and entry prices and you will see the results. Even if all trade alerts for a given day are invalid due to price gaps, don't fret, more HYPER trades will be posted the same afternoon!

Hope this helps HYPER Traders, and please comment if you have any questions/comments.

Wow, was today a crazy day in the US markets!  The S&P500 had a spread - the difference between the day's highest price and lowest price - of an astounding 55.75 points.  That's simply incredible.  Check out this 5 minute chart of the ES (S&P500) from today.  Notice the huge swings in price throughout the day only to have it close down .025 points.

Analysts have varying opinions of why markets are moving as such a volatile pace, as well as what to expect in the coming weeks and months.  Some are predicting a double dip recession; some are predicting a bounce next week.

What do you IT members think? 

Today the S&P500 avoided an historical record by avoiding 9 straight days of losing value.  The last time the S&P went down 9 straight days was 1978 - 31 years ago!

The best traders are able to make profitable trades in any market environment; yes, that even includes ones where such streaks like this one occur.  Follow our Expert's trade alerts and you should be in that category.

The HYPER Trading System went undefeated today, gaining 3 units for those who follow the trades.  Both INTC and DIS closed above their entry points for victories on the HYPER system.

With the implementation of our new binary options HYPER trading system, let's take a moment to explain the thinking behind the trade units and entries, arguably the two most important aspects of any trading system.  If you have questions, comments, suggestions, or thoughts, please let us know so we can all clarify the rules of using the HYPER system to making money trading binary options.

What are UNITS?!
First, for all new trades placed on IT you will see a new units amount associated with that trade.  This represents a dollar amount for each individual trader, depending on the size of your trading account.  The dollar amount per unit will vary from trader to trader, as do the size of the trading accounts.

Example #1:
Trader A has a ,000 trading account and decides each of his units is 0. A trade is posted for 3 units, so Trader A places the trade with an investment amount of 0.

Example #2:
Trader B has less in his bankroll, so his units are less as well. For him, each unit is .  The same 3 unit trade will be an investment of (instead of 0), so his risk is less (and so is his profit potential.

The beauty of our UNITS is that they are 100% proportional and YOU decide the value of each unit!

A REAL LIFE EXAMPLE:
Here's a real life example with a trade alert from our HYPER binary options trading system. 

We post an alert to buy a put on MSFT tomorrow at open with a price of 27.50.  If you are able to execute a trade on MSFT the following morning at a price of 27.50 or higher, place the trade.  If MSFT opens the next day with a price of 27.49 or lower, the trade is invalid.  We will always update the valid trade alerts at open the following morning with the entry price to give the most accurate of trading entries and results.

Here's an example of a good HYPER alert and entry.  On Monday we posted an alert to buy a call on the INTC at 22.24 at open on Tuesday for ONE unit.  Here's the chart:

[chart|nid=1522]

However, at open, INTC opened at 22.04, a price lower than the posted price (which is great because we are buying a call and expect it to expire higher than the posted price.  So, we changed the entry price to 22.04 at open on Tuesday with an expiration at the end of the day on Tuesday.  Here's the chart of INTC at open on Tuesday showing the entry price:

[chart|nid=1527]

Remember, all trades in the HYPER trading system should be executed with an end of day expiration!
