Chief Strategist John Kicklighter discusses underlying considerations for developing a personal trading strategy. Sometimes technical levels are obeyed as if drawn in stone and other times, the market seems to carry a trend as if there were little mind to favored speculative levels. The markets are not behaving erratically, rather it is often a sign of different market participants taking control of activity. There are three general groups of participants: retail speculator; professional money manager and central banker. These are very different sets with distinctly different influence over price and market conditions. We discuss all three, what type of influence they are often associated with and how to use it to shape our trading strategy in this webinar.
