Trading From Main Street's Market Alerts: Market Alerts are triggers given primarily by Toni that key you into important upcoming or current events in the market. They may be support or resistance levels, an upcoming correction to the market trend or a pattern forming in the market. If used correctly, they can be powerful triggers for trading opportunities or aids to assist you in exiting a position. Only the main support and resistance levels, patterns, or larger trend actions are alerted with market alerts. Follow-up will typically come after the alert to help you in identifying the reasons behind the alert and assist in utilizing it. If members ever have questions regarding any alert, they are encouraged to ask them. The following is a sample day from June 24, 2003 showing market alerts in action.

Sorry to be off topic, but could you reply to me PM as to why TFMS sponsors the Chit Chat Section as opposed to any actual trading section? Just curious.. Thanks
When I first discussed what to sponsor with Baron chitchat was available. It gets a heavy amount of traffic and is priced well, so we took that one. Brandon

[12:49] <brandon> ok whenever you are looking at a stock or an index you have to ask yourself what is it doing? [12:49] <brandon> What is the trend [12:49] <brandon> there are three possible trends [12:49] <brandon> up, down, sideways [12:50] <brandon> once you have identified what the trend is you must ask yourself where are we in the context of that trend [12:50] <brandon> once you ask that [12:50] <brandon> you can begin to determine what type of actions to take [12:51] <brandon> if you are in an uptrend and its pulled back to support [12:51] <brandon> purhaps you can buy [12:51] <brandon> if you are in a sideways trend and you come up to the top of the range [12:51] <brandon> then you will want to look for reversal timeframes on a smaller timeframe and go short [12:51] <brandon> coz a range is a range is a range [12:52] <brandon> one of the most dangerous things people do is they get all caught up in a stock or index as it reaches the top of the range [12:52] <brandon> they get silly bullish [12:52] <brandon> if its going to break [12:52] <brandon> normally the best course of action is to let it [12:52] <brandon> then buy a retest
