Both a study of the stock market and a study of trends in popular attitudes support the conclusion that the movement of aggregate stock prices is a direct recording of mood and mood change within the investment community, and by extension, within the society at large. It is clear that extremes in popular cultural trends coincide with extremes in stock prices, since they peak and trough coincidentally in their reflection of the popular mood. http://www.techtradersystem.com/articles/Keep-Ahead-of-the-Herd-in-2011-3089.asp http://www.techtradersystem.com/articles/publish-article.asp?articleid=3089 Despite near-unanimous endorsement among mainstream advisors, the strategy of portfolio diversification has a huge, glaring flaw Namely, when large sums of liquidity begin to flow into global investment markets, formerly disparate trends become strongly correlated. And markets that go up together ultimately go down together; in turn, the value of diversified portfolios goes down with them.

It is very popular with stock market traders and investors because it is really good at highlighting trends. However it is also used by a lot of forex traders as well, and can be very beneficial.The primary function of the ADX indicator is to highlight trends in the markets, and what this indicator also does well is to indicate the overall strength of these trends. In simple terms if the ADX indicator is below 20, then there is no clear trend present and you shouldn't be thinking about entering a position just yet. This will often be fairly obvious anyway because the price will usually be confined to a tight trading range when this happens.However if it climbs above the 20 level (or 25 depending on your overall preference), this indicates a strengthening of the trend and potentially the start of a new trend. The higher the value the stronger the trend. http://www.techtradersystem.com/articles/Can-The-Adx-Indicator-Help-Boost-Your-Forex-Trading-Profits-983.asp http://www.techtradersystem.com/articles/publish-article.asp?articleid=983 In this article we'll review some of the major advantages and disadvantages of using the put call ratio to help anticipate market turns and trends.
