Introduction

Hello to all those interested in trading. Let me confess that I'm on the learning path of trading. As I move across this path, I learn new things everyday.

This is one of the most critical benefits that have accrued after I entered trading: it shattered all preconception about my skill and knowledge. Success in trading comes from being in a state of openness, a state of humility, where you're prepared to learn the same lessons over and over again.

I'd like to share with you some of the lessons learned and tips picked up on the way.

How does the market move? Or how do the prices of stocks, currencies, commodities and other tradeable instruments move? What prompts them to move up and down? This up and down movement is the source of our income.

Technical analysts say it's supply and demand that drive prices up and down. Fundamental analysts say prices are event driven. Astrological traders attribute the cause to the planets in the sky.

Whatever be the real source, this is certain: there is no technique that can predict the price 100% correct all the time.

That being said, recently I've been thinking about the involvement of Astrology in trading. While I am not fully convinced about its relevance, some questions are valid:

  • Why do the price of a commodity move in like fashion all over the globe? That is, WTI Crude Oil, Brent Crude Oil, Heating oil all move in similar fashion across all countries. Not exactly in tandem, but they all rise and fall at the same time.
  • Often you can see price movements of a particular commodity change drastically as a particular planet changes zodiac signs.
