About The Market Trend Forecast.com

David Banister - We believe that markets move largely based on important swings in sentiment, crowd behavioral patterns, Fibonacci Re-tracements, Cycles, and other ephemeral catalysts.  The headlines explain what just happened in the market, but they do not predict the next moves up or down in the indices, sectors, or commodities.  As an investor, you need to be armed with tools in advance of major moves that are accurate, and TMTF will assist you in being prepared as an investor for volatile markets both on the upside and downside. We have a wealth of technical analysis experience to take advantage of the crowd behavior in the markets.  Our Chief Strategist, David Banister,  has been quoted and or written articles on CBS Marketwatch.com, 321gold.com, TheStreet.Com, SafeHaven.com, Kitco.com, Stockhouse.com, Theaureport.com, along with other well known investment sites.  David has been a past guest on the national radio show “Money Matter$”.  Chris Vermeulen of Thegoldandoilguy.com met David in 2008 as the financial crisis was unfolding.  After numerous months of following the forecasts and trading abilities of Mr. Banister, Chris suggested that a joint venture be formed and we offer a trading service to a finite and select group of partners (subscribers).  ActiveTradingPartners.Com was formed in July of 2009, and with the success of that service, we now launch The Market Trend Forecast in March of 2010.

Chris Vermeulen - I’m Chris Vermeulen, founder and Chief Technical Analyst of TheGoldAndOilGuy.com. I’ve been trading the market for over 10 years with extensive experience in indexes, gold and oil. My trading style has gradually evolved over the years, allowing me to take advantage of the market no matter what type day/week it is – up, down or sideways. This is a necessity for earning consistent gains in the market. Within this service I will be providing some of the analysis along with critical trading education reports to help you manage your money and risk as an investor.

 

Our Methodology:

The methodology really revolves around understanding “herd” behavior as it applies to the markets. Herd or crowd behavior is crucial to understand as it relates to investing in the markets in order to be successful.  Elliott wave theory for example, is one of the main foundations that ATP fully understands and utilizes to some degree,  after years of studying human behavioral patterns, Fibonacci retracements, and Elliott wave patterns.  Investors love to chase stocks up and by doing so, they increase their risk without knowing it.  The crowd loves to sell low and buy high, ATP prefers to do the opposite.  The question is, how can you consistently buy low and sell high? What if you could consistently buy just before the crowd jumps in and pushes a sector or index or commodity up rapidly? Active Trading Partners, LLC has a strong foundation in fundamental analysis, extensive investment experience, and nearly unmatched technical analysis skills.  These all come into play to weed out as much risk as possible, and provide accurate forecasts at key pivots.

In most cases, TMTF will look for trends that are about to reverse to the upside or to the downside, after a corrective move to the upside or downside has taken place.  There are reliable patterns consistently exhibited by the trading crowd that TMTF will take advantage of by forecasting trend changes as others are pushing sectors or indices too high or too low, just prior to a reversal back up.  Our Strategist has a very strong forecast track record and David has tested these various methodologies exhaustively in up, down, and sideways markets.  We believe that stocks and sectors move almost entirely based on the sentiment of the crowd at that time, whether bullish or bearish.  Understanding human behavioral patterns and knowing at which point to enter into trades and when to exit, helps TMTF to provide accurate forecast results for our partners. 

Our methodology is therefore contrarian in nature.
