The current market conditions and volatility are causing a huge amount of consternation amongst investors and traders around the globe.

In most of my articles I tend to focus upon current market action and draw the reader’s attention to a stock, commodity or other instrument which is likely to offer profits.

The last few years have seen Exchange Traded Funds or ETFs, become exceptionally popular, especially in the United States. This popularity is well justified as ETFs offer an easy way of gaining exposure to stock groups and commodities.

I have written before (in Issue 317) on the subject of what are called Geometric Angles or Gann Angles. These are part of the 3rd dimension of Gann analysis, also known as ‘squaring time and price.’ If this sounds totally confusing, don’t worry. Think of a simple trend line. It is a line joining 2 tops or 2 bottoms and extended forward. The difference with a Gann angle is that it moves at a fixed rate and is thus not dependent on a second top or bottom in order for you to draw the line. You may find it helpful to review the earlier article.

I had an interesting email this week from a client – Naresh:

…from India and had been following your mails regularly.

I did attend the safety in the market course 5 day trading congress with Mr. David Bowden.

Shall appreciate your reply for better understanding .

Nearly three months of 2010 have come and gone and so far, there haven’t been too many bulls to be seen on the Euro. They must be off in a paddock somewhere, enjoying the spoils of the excellent long trading of 2009!

What if China’s warning of a double dip recession were to come true? What would you do? When would you do it?
