Investors should keep in mind that investing in a real estate property should not be considered as a gamble, though many consider it as such. Dishing out money for a home or a commercial property as investment in a large city -- like Melbourne, Australia; is a profitable venture -- only if you properly plan for it in advance to guarantee success in the long term. Here is a real estate investing guide that first-time property investors should find very useful to guarantee that success of this money-making project. FinancingInvestors are expected to have their own funding at the ready for the purchase of a real estate property.

I use a variety of indicators on my trading charts. It is important to me to be able confirm short term trends through the use of multiple variables. The middle indicator on all of my charts is always the MACD. MACD stands for Moving Average Convergence/Divergence Indicator. It is an indicator I have used for much of my emini trading career, so you could say we have a fairly intimate relationship. In my trading, I have found the MACD to be helpful, but not a primary indicator. The MACD is unique in that it is a trend velocity indicator and gives me an excellent viewpoint on the intensity of a trend, both as the trend gains strength and as a trend wanes. The indicator itself is simply the pointspread between two exponential moving averages. I use a 5 and 35 as my time periods when plotting the MACD, and I will surely admit that my time period settings are different than most traders. I also plot a 5 period simple moving average on the MACD, which gives me a look at an extremely short moving average to guage the ultra near term moves in the market. So why concern myself with the velocity of the trend?For me, I am interested in the this rate of change indicator to give me some...more
