Market Wrap - Ashley Jessen
Stellar gains in the Aussie market with 12 days of consecutive gains on Friday and 9.5% growth with materials and the energy sector were the strongest performing sectors.

A bullish flag pattern is on the US indices and it looks like a consolidation breakout to the upside, which could see one final run for the bull. But be nimble and focused on stops as bullish flags can retrace strongly.

Potential opportunities this week as GOLD sits on support but with momentum strong traders need to monitor their stops. Greece’s debt and the Eurozone is a talking point this week as we find out if a Grexit is likely.

Plus hear which stocks in the ASX are trending.

February 04, 2015 Gender Specific Differences in Trading Performance
This week Chris Tate takes a fascinating peek into the different ways men and women approach the markets. With a testosterone-fuelled hunter-mindset, men tend to be overconfident and trade for the excitement whilst bragging to their mates how well they are doing. Women naturally husband resources and preserve capital but can aquire a lack of confidence. How can we support each other to trade at the optimum level? Find out in this cage-rattling interview. Also hear why Louise urges you to not be freaking normal and hear the latest in the markets last week.

Niv Dagan - Market Wrap
The Aussie market had a good week relative to the US and outperformed the US market last week for the first time in a long while. With confidence coming back Down Under and the Reserve Bank’s meeting this week we saw all-time highs for stocks such as CSL, CBA and Telstra.

Niv’s advice is that things will be volatile this week so have your stops in place.

Also find out which sectors are hot and which are not.

Louise Bedford - Mindpower
Don’t be freaking normal. The people having the most fun in life and achieving the most awesome achievements aren’t normal.

They possess the same set of insecurities, demons and failures as you do. They have just figured how to move forward and silence that nagging voice of doubt.

Gender Specific Differences Between the Way Men and Women Trade - Chris Tate
In their testosterone fuelled plight men tend to be overconfident in the markets and churn and burn through their capital in the name of excitement and the glory of the hunt.

Women are often different. They don’t waste capital. They tend to look after their resources and naturally do the very thing required for successful trading - undertrade - undertrade - undertrade. But this can tip into lack of confidence.

Chris discusses what the studies have shown and what he has observed when it comes to men's and women's trading styles and the effect it has on their trading results.

Also find out the next 4 strategies high achievers use to make the most of their year, and how the Aussie markets performed last week.
Ashley Jessen - Market Wrap
Last week the Aussie market was extremely bullish with all sectors posting positive results; materials and financials being the best performing.

Volatility has moved to extremes in the FX and commodities markets so be aware of short sharp movements. Global indices are also at a tipping point and Ashley suggests keeping an eye on the double and triple tops as the indices try to break forward.

Ashley’s overall advice for this week is to keep to short term trading systems and get out of the buy and hold mentality.

Market Wrap with Chris Tate
It is all about this Swiss last week as they took time off from eating chocolate and making cuckoo clocks to remove the cap on their index. This put a cat amongst the pigeons in the Swiss and FX markets. So should traders be taking trades on the Swiss Franc at the moment?

According to Chris Tate ‘GOD NO! Wait until the market has settled down.’

The Australian market is caught between the collapse of crude oil and collapse of most commodity prices particularly metals and until this changes we won’t see a dramatic lift in the Australian market. And the US markets…they are on pause. Until the long-term weekly trend changes you can’t say the bull market has come to an end.

Grab this opportunity to hear a detailed analysis of what Chris Tate is trading at the moment.

Don’t Tell Your Boss to Shove It…Just Yet - with Louise Bedford
When Louise quit her day job she couldn’t believe they stopped paying her. She felt insulted. She felt betrayed. She thought "How Dare They?".

It took Louise 7 – 8 years before she was earning well enough from the markets to say she had replaced her income.

Before you decide tell your boss to SHOVE IT there are fundamental questions you need to ask yourself as yourself a trader.

Have you gained the necessary skills to make enough money regardless of the market direction?
Do you have sufficient capital?
Do you have the discipline to follow a stop loss?
Do you have the support of your family?

Listen to this week’s episode to hear more of Louise’s advice.

Plus find out what famous high achievers do to set themselves up for the year ahead.

January 01, 2015 Catherine Roberts – Trading Game 2014 Mentoree
This week’s episode of Talking Trading looks at Catherine Robert’s foray into the trading world. Compelled by the pressure of a toxic work environment, Catherine pursued the Mentor Program to provide her with a second income and a new outlook on life. Hear about her growth in personal development, her wins in the market and her amazing meeting of another Trading Game mentoree. Also find out what Louise Bedford has to say about getting out of your comfort zone in Mindpower and where the big money really lies.

Catherine Roberts - Trading Game 2014 Mentoree
Catherine Roberts grew up thinking that an EDUCATION and A CAREER would make her FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT.

When she found out that wasn’t the case she started looking for options…

A toxic work environment was the final shove Catherine needed to enroll in the Trading Game Mentor Program and seek alternative means of income.

Knowing she had the skills to become a trader, she has ploughed the markets for over a year winning handsomely in the energy sectors in 2014.

The toxic work environment proved to be a blessing in disguise, not only did she meet a fellow Trading Game mentoree in a new job, she has grown in personal development to take control of her life and her financial future. In Catherine’s opinion if you are a successful trader then you are successful in life. She no longer wastes time wishing for things and achieving someone else’s goals, she consciously achieves her own.

Mindpower with Louise Bedford

Declare you are ready.

Once you declare you are ready options will open up in your life.

High achievers are frustrated a lot of the time - being mellow and getting to the top just don’t go together.

To get out of your current money zone you have to get out of your current comfort zone. Leaps are required and to leap you have to leave solid ground behind. But once you do, you get used to flying and that is where The Big Money lies.

Jono Barratt - Market Wrap
And the bulls are still running in the U.S… record closes again on Friday capping 7 weeks of gains.

Meanwhile…our market has been nervous and hasn’t performed like our Yankee brothers with plummeting iron ore prices, coal prices and now oil prices. The transport and aeroplane sectors however have taken advantage of the cheap oil and are performing well.

The charts trends are steady and traditionally we get Christmas rallies that mean if the trend sets in it will be good to follow.

Aaron Parsons

With globalisation changing the landscape of our employment Aaron urges everyone to not be a VICTIM and to take control of their lives by learning core strategies for entrepreneurship. As Jim Rohn said ‘formal education will make you a living but self-education will make you a fortune.’

Aaron believes in business and trading the key to success is resilience. Learn to dust yourself off - keep focused on the mission - move forward - and your success is inevitable. 'No' simply means 'NEXT'.

She still has the same purpose… she wants to liberate your life as well. Plus find out about Anthony Robbins latest research into the 4 qualities all billionaires have in common and the latest in our markets.

Market Wrap – Aaron Lynch
The US markets finally flattened last week while the Australian market gave back its 70 point gain made earlier in the week on the back of falling commodity prices. The energies complex of crude, Brent and natural gas had massive declines with up to 10% falls due to OPEC’s announcement. Aaron’s advice is to make sure your trading plan offsets volatility and to watch some of the ranges being oversold.

November 25, 2014 Top Gun Success Secrets
Market Wrap with Aaron Lynch
The US market just creeps higher and higher.

While S&P and The Dow closed on record highs, The Russell 2000 and the Nasdaq moved sideways creating divergence in the US markets. Aaron warns the bulls are tired and to be careful initiating new positions.

The Australian markets were decidedly sick last week with 5 straight down days. Aaron is looking carefully at which stocks retraced and his trading advice is to stay focused. Christmas rallies have been kind in the past and there are often a lot of opportunities around this time of year.

Mindpower with Louise Bedford
Change your views towards money and what it means to you, and you change your results as a trader. The way a trader thinks always precedes their share trading results.

When we realise money is just a way of keeping score we detach from its power over us. Ironically this attitude paves the way for more of it to enter our lives. So if you want better results in the markets - improve your mind power.

Top Gun success strategies with Wayne Berry
Wayne Berry has built a business empire, stared death in the face and followed his passion for aviation to fly planes.

He speaks about his TOP GUN attitude for success, the qualities successful people and the tools and tactics they use to manifest their goals. According to Wayne the most outstanding quality is….

Successful people take action.

They also set goals, have a written plan, they often ‘treasure map’ their goals and …they start with the end in mind. Life is a ‘do it yourself game’. 80% comes down to attitude and knowing how to put yourself in the pilots seat is as important as knowing why you want to be there.

Wayne is your perfect contact, especially if you're in your own business. Whether you are looking to improve your sales, your sales management techniques or your negotiating skills, rush over to his Top Gun website right now by clicking here.
