BarroMetrics Views: What is Trading Success?
Simple
Easy to master (under 60-minutes)
No previous experience necessary
So far have made:
314.8%
122.11%
104.37%
Proof available - all for ONLY US$97.00!
I’d save the $97.00 - if you believe the claims will be the basis of long-term success, you’ll believe that pigs can fly. Frankly I think that pigs have a better chance of flying […]

BarroMetrics Views: Winning Psychology
This is a huge area. Dr Brett Steenbarger devoted his excellent blog to this subject for many years; Denise Shull and Nazy Massoud have excellent courses devoted to it. Clearly, I shall be unable to give D a comprehensive answer to his question.
And when I did a mindmap for this blog, the […]

BarroMetrics Views: Evaluating Trading Systems
I am constantly amazed how gullible we are - how we want to believe in unrealistic claims and how willing we are to put our hard earned on the line in the pursuit of our fantasies.
So I am writing this blog in the hope it will help someone avoid a burnout. […]

BarroMetrics Views: Volume
Paul wrote: “Increasing volume means increasing equal number of sellers & buyers (bear & bull).
If the bull trend is “so obvious”, there will be decreasing number of people wanting to sell, though there is an increasing number of people wanting to buy.
The result will be: decreased volume?!”
I view the market […]

BarroMetrics Views: S&Ps Mini Bubble
Figures 1 and 2 say it all.
Figure 1 is the S&P cash, Normalised Volume. Notice that since Jan 3, we have seen the volume and/or range decline as the market has moved higher. On the other hand, the 30-years have declined in price (up in yields) as the S&P has moved […]

BarroMetrics Views: The Employment Rate
Friday’s Non-Farm Payroll produced a quandary for many market commentators: the new jobs came in way below expectations (36,000 when the minimum expectation was 50,000) but the employment rate rose! How is this possible?
My answer: the manipulation of the employment data by the US Bureau of Labour Statistics is finally coming […]

BarroMetrics Views: US Inflation
In a recent blog, “Context in Technical Analysis”, I spoke about ‘unexpected events’. One such example cropped up on Tuesday’s ISM report.
The report said that the manufacturing sector grew at a faster rate in January as the PMI registered 60.8….

BarroMetrics Views: A Game of Pretence
Let’s play a game of pretence: let’s pretend we went short the AUDUSD and on being stopped out, we wanted to go long but decided not to; and let’s pretend we also wanted to go short the S&P and decided not to.

BarroMetrics Views: Foresight
Writing this newsletter has been a great learning experience. It’s certainly very different to trading. When I trade, I create several scenarios and execute as the market unfolds in real-time.
