The only issue concerning the split is the necessity for $AMZN to be trading in a range that is in the midst of the Dow 30 Index. It could not be a part of the Index at $1800. Any liquid stock is tradeable, I would think.

Seems that Dow DuPont will have to exit the Dow this June or so. Isn't it likely that Bezos will split Amazon 6 or 7 for one to take a place on the Index?

I believe that regardless of what the so-called Smart Money is doing, capital flows are fleeing Europe and coming to the U.S. markets for the stability.

I have attended several of the webinars that Larry Williams has presented over the years and one of the things that he tracks is best day of a given week, best days of the month et cetera.

Yes, I trade for a living because I enjoy it.

Don't you have a problem with changing Renko parameters for each Market? I tried Renko, some many years back, and I recall that I needed to adjust the inputs depending on the Market. Not so? Then of course, the parameters needed to be adjusted on a regular basis. Or was I incorrect?
