Hello SpikeTraders,First of all, a reminder for our worldwide participants: Monday, May 30, all US markets will be closed for Memorial Day, a national holiday. We’ll have a four-day trading week.Good advice is hard to give but even harder to accept. For the past two weeks Kerry and I have been posting comments on Spike (the strongest buy signal in technical analysis) and Spike Bounce signals. Steve S, a Spiker in New York, was among those who took advantage of that. He had already won many Golds trading Spike Bounces, and now did even better with a combination of Spike + Spike Bounce signals. Congratulations!

Congratulations to Spiker Nilton D in Illinois. As he mentioned in an earlier post, he was an army officer in Brazil before coming to the US and having a business career there. His latest Gold trade looks like a military operation – parachuting in and helicoptering out, not overstaying on the ground.

Congratulations to Robert James B, our Spiker in Australia, on winning our latest weekly Gold. Trading from Down Under has an additional challenge because of a difficult time difference. The US market opens at 23:30 pm in Sydney and closes at 6 am. Trading US markets from there requires well thought-out plans and limit orders, without watching a live screen.

Congratulations to Spiker Lou C in Quebec on winning another Gold, using his fully disclosed short-term trading tactic. I plan on driving to my favorite eyeglass shop near Montreal this summer and will aim to organize a SpikeTrade meeting in the area. Maybe Lou will bring his robot on a leash (just joking; that robot is probably just a few lines of computer code).
