If you want to invest that cash which is sitting in your bank account earning miserly returns by investing in the stock, FX or commodity markets then read on to find out how you can increase the odds of your investment moving in the right direction. 

What sets professional traders apart from amateur traders is that professional traders are able to predict price action and trade accordingly instead of continually chasing moves like amateur traders. By predicting price action, these professional traders are able to gain entries into markets before the bulk of the move occurs. In contrast, amateur traders are only drawn to the market after large price moves have occurred and they try to chase the market. By the time amateur traders gain an entry into the market, the professional traders are already unloading their position and ringing the cash register.

Simon Clarke takes us through a market outlook for the upcoming trading week, highlighting markets of interest that are showing potential trading opportunities. 

The Dow bounced strongly off the 15,900 level, Simon's looking to trade this market on an intraday basis while it's trading within the range between 15,900 and 16,600. In the forex market, NZDJPY has started to show some signs of strength which has sparked Simon's interest. Simon's favourite chart out of the commodity markets is Platinum which has been in a strong downtrend and may provide further opportunities to trade it to the downside once the daily chart has completed its pullback.
