Can someone explain why the vix went down on march 20th and 23rd while the indexes went lower on those days. Usually, the vix would rise as the index sells off hard. Of course, in retrospect, this divergence signaled the intermediate term bottom. Is this something that happens often? If one...

I was interested in purchasing Trade Navigator/Genesis in order to use the stretch squeeze indicator. I was wondering if anyone currently uses TN and specifically the software that spydertrader coded. If so, can you please PM me? thanks!

I use IBDs stuff for the most part. IT moves last a couple months for the general market and about 3 good times to trade IT stocks a year. No for the third Q.

Sector analysis and watching industry charts are very important IMO. If one can use the timing of industry charts, it acts as sort of a leading indicator of stocks within the industry. For example, when the sector itself is changing from a short IT to a long IT, you can cherry pick the stocks...

I think he was just doing me a favor. If you look at the prices in the picture, ES is in the 1300s.

Could you maybe elaborate on the 6 OOEs? Even though i vowed never to touch the ES again, Do the MAs change for intraday ES...5 min 4 trends a day for M W days compared to position trading stocks?

Here is how I like to use moving averages. It might not be your cup of tea but it seems to work for me. I use 2 moving averages of different lengths. One that simulates the short term trend and one that simulates the intermediate term trend. Then I can see how the 2 moving averages weave in an...

Here is a Channel of the NYSE. My question is are we going to have a VE OR retrace to the right trend line. I recall JH saying something regarding a H and S. Would this be the H of the H and S?

Do you use trend channels at all? How about cycle analysis?

Another invention that WJO used to figure out when a VE was likely was when the stock gained 20% in less than 8 weeks. He would hold the stock longer. With the precision of channels, we could use better rules. It would def be a struggle to "shape up" traders with no foundation. It has been a...

Great work so far! I trade intermediate term stocks a la CANSLIM. Wishing you continued success. Are you using the 5,2,3 stoch out of DU as your entry signal?....if not, what are you basing trades on?

I always give Jh the benefit of the doubt. After thinking it through and rereading what Darvas did, I have come to a couple ideas. Darvas would wait for the first reaction(intermediate term down trend) and enter for the next intermediate term uptrend and WAIT it out until the stock showed...

Here is a real time example of hitting the ltl....the volume is without a doubt peaking volume and hit the left trend line. Do we hold looking for a VE or exit...what are the clues to hold or not. FYI, I exited on the ltl to play it safe and have capital to put into something else.

Thanks...I should have clarified that my question was in regards to equity trading.
