In the sometimes-complicated world of technical analysis it often pays to just keep things simple.
Part of my daily analysis of the market includes checking the list of companies that are making technical moves as their patterns grow stronger.
The simplest way to do this is to scan my database for the best stocks to trade is to and find those with a "Silver Cross" pattern.

We're less than two weeks from the Nov. 3 presidential election, and the polls are gaining clarity. Democrats are going into next month's election with a clear advantage.
FiveThirtyEight's polling average gives Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden an 87% chance of winning the race for the White House.
And according to Real Clear Politics, betting sites on average give Biden odds of 65.1% to win.
Meanwhile, Democrats are practically guaranteed to keep control of the House of Representatives, and now have a 70% chance of taking the Senate, too, according to FiveThirtyEight.
In short, the polls say we're going to get a "blue wave." Democrats are set to take the White House and both houses of Congress.
Of course the polls have been very wrong before, so we have to remind ourselves that they tell us probabilities, not certainties…
But if the "blue team" does win, that's going to mean a different take on green energy, stimulus, anti-trust, banking and environmental regulations, and much more. Stocks will definitely be affected.
We're already seeing some sectors rise in anticipation.
So today, I'll show you how to prepare your portfolio for a "blue wave" as well as what to do if the polls end up being wrong again… Full Story

Stocks were at their lows for the year back in March when COVID-19 was spreading rapidly throughout the world for the first time.
It was a time of fear and panic in the financial markets as stocks fell about 35% from their all-time highs in February with little information to go on for the novel virus.
But then, the United States federal government went into their economic playbook and passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.
This provided over $2 trillion in economic support to American workers, families, and small businesses.
In general, most of the stock market has reacted favorably.
Since the CARES Act was passed on March 27, the S&P 500 is up 30% to new all-time highs.
