Traders spend a lot of time strategizing on how to trade. Traders use many different technical analysis set ups, fundamental analysis techniques, volatility chart reading methods and more. It's an endless list. But in this video, Dan Passarelli shares what he calls the only two ways to trade the market.

From a directional standpoint, there's value trading and momentum trading. And those two broad trading methods sum up any trading style. It's either buy low and sell high, or buy high and sell higher. Watch this video to learn more.

Now is a good time for making end of month adjustments in your investing portfolio. It's a nice reminder that it's time to look and see what stocks are not doing as well as you'd hoped and sell them; and buy stocks that have a better chance of running. I put it on my calendar every month to take a look at my investment portfolio.

This video shares some of the changes I've made this time around to my trading account. It looks at what stocks I sold ($ICLN, $NAPA) and what I bought ($MP).

One of the trading skills that will take you far is knowing how to trade moving average crossovers. It's one of the super simple technical analysis techniques that is used by tons of traders. This video shows you how to trade them.

In short all a moving cross over is is when a moving average with a shorter number of days crosses over or under an MA with a longer number of days. For example, if the 20-day MA crosses above the 50-day moving average, it's a bullish signal.

And that's basically all there is to it. Watch this video to get this trading system down pat.

The best advice I can give to any trader is to take your profits when you can. The longer we have on an option trade, the more uncertainty we have. More can happen. So, I love the idea that I'd rather take a smaller profit now than a bigger one later on my options trading positions.

That's not to say to be too quick in profit taking, but if it's getting close, I don't mind conceding some gains now and take the risk off the table.

Is the stock market heading lower? The S&P500 etf, SPY, looks strong. But its options may be telling us something else.

Typically when stocks rise, their options implied volatility falls. (And when stocks fall their implied volatility rises). But a look at the stock chart in Spiders tells a different story.

Option prices have been holding steady and even rising as the broad based index has risen. That means hedgers may be nervous about the market taking a breather. Watch this video and learn more.
