Selected Published Articles in Industry Magazines

The Implied Stop Loss.
Summarizes various methods used by traders of stocks, futures and FOREX to calculate the price of a protective stop order and describes a new method that utilizes the volatility premium embedded in the price of the corresponding option. Provides several reasons for the latter being a more rational method. Appears in Futures & Options World, January 1998 issue.

The New Stock Strategy - Buy and Sell
Examines the roll of oscillators, with special focus on the RSI, as a technical indicator for timing buy and sell signals during choppy markets, whether futures, FOREX or stocks. Demonstrates that RSI efficacy is dependent upon there being underlying and systematic cycles in the movement of prices, and ends with technique to identify such cycles. Appears in Futures, August 2000 issue.

Follow the Action. Where Can a Day Trader Find Opportunities?
Contrasts price volatility with price range value and shows that even the most heavily traded markets experience a significant number of quiet trading days when little opportunity exists for the day trader. Demonstrates that by searching for markets whose prices are negatively correlated in this respect, the day trader can increase overall trading opportunities. Appears in Futures, June 2000 issue.

How to Price USDX Futures.
Calculates the volatility premium embedded in the price of a USDX futures contract that arises because of its pricing convention and shows how this volatility premium adjusts in response to expected future movements in currency prices, similar to the implied volatility of the corresponding USDX options market. Appears in Futures, March 1992 issue.

Option Spreads: Putting the Odds in your Favor
Describes bull call and bear put option spreads and shows how they provide a superior risk-adjusted return over that of an outright long option position for all but the most unlikely future price scenarios. Concludes with tips on buying option spreads. Appears in Futures, February 2000 issue.

A Time for Covered-Call Writing.
Describes the trading strategy in which out-of-the-money call options are sold by an investor already in possession of the underlying stock, futures or FOREX contract and identifies three market climates when such a strategy is advantageous. Provides actual market examples as well as recommendations for managing the covered-write position. Appears in Futures, December 2000 issue.

Risky Business? Is Day-Trading Less Risky Than Position Trading?
Although price risk is of a shorter duration for the day trader as opposed to the position trader and therefore typically smaller in magnitude, the day trader is exposed to higher transaction risk as a consequence of higher trading volume. This includes the risk of error in order entry, fill and/or reporting as well as the risk of a communication interruption or blackout. Article ends with techniques to manage these risks. Appears in Futures, May 2000 issue.

Podcast radio interview on commodity trading
Listen to this 20-minute podcast radio interview as Rick Thachuk describes insights into commodity trading including the importance of risk management, how to set a stop order and how to gauge public sentiment for the market. Hosted by Derek Simon of istockanalyst.com - the web site designed by traders for traders. Aired January 8, 2007.

"Clients working with our brokers didn't have any problems, but those who trade without broker assistance just to save money on commission were not so lucky. They think that a few dollars in commission will make a difference. Actually it does, but not in a good way!"
