F'HIM I've had it. Who TF wants to make them sweat stewing over whether or not to push the missile defense silo codes? I went to claim my scratch this morning ... AMP closed shop. No legal notice. No e-mail. Simply just pulled the phone line out of the wall. Pissed!

I read a forecast recently that had US GDP ahead of Eurozone by better than a percent and European output under-performing for twice as long. If you look closely enough that's has been priced-in for some time. Europeans selling on the way up and placing size as stops in our session has been...

Are you optimizing instrument volatility? 4%, rounded down by an 1/8 of a percent, intraday, works well for SPUS . The Dow is closer to 6% quarter to quarter. And the 4% model began from DOW volatility. FWIW. So I guess it depends on your style of trading. A good rule of thumb is 1% or 2% of...

Thinkorswim's drop-down study for VWAP lists choices of a day, week or month. I've never really confirmed the numbers in a spreadsheet but anything over a 60m and I use the weekly. Likely weekly, but it could be the volume of the 240m. RTH is a bar and a 1/6 so the differential gives a...

I wish I could make enough money in this day-trading crap to position with a 240m. A 6 SMA and 9 RSI, possibly a Daily and Weekly for a Nuesta alternative and fiscal quarter to fiscal quarter. I'm ultimately aiming at less exposure to the insanity of commodities and allocate 30% blue chip, 30%...

Exponentially increasing volume with each new high 1) Test of indecision of yesterday's low at lunch (dinner on the East Coast) 2) Inside range of the weekly VWAP on the 4 hour's 2 standard deviation channels 3a) Higher low on the low-end standard deviation of the above said 3b) New...

I'ld say the odds are greater of shorts being trapped toggling to test lower. Beware of a strong close long on a higher timeframe. No lower than a three hour chart here. If you insist, consult a four hour. A retest of a false breakout or duck-under, even on a scale of minutia won't be tolerated...

What I wrote was akin to an Oxford Chancellor reciting errors in the English/Oxford dictionary compared to auctioneer lingo in Chicago. But if you insist on breaking my balls (because WTF here is genuine really): don't stay in a short long after longs over-extend themselves at the open...

The buzz is pointing down. Buyers got pushed down at the weekly VWAP high-end standard deviation on the 4 hour at 1201 and have struggled to regain 3 ticks all morning. A run-up is almost assured however. The twist they don't want you to know is that the sell-off will be to place a print hard...

I aim for a few thousand a week and have blown a few accounts self-learning trading, so I'm not an expert, but market rotations without H&S & W&M formations are impossible. A pull back is going to give either three prints, the first one staunched in heavy stop territory; or, two prints from a...

20m Guassian fractal short 1.25m. Buy it.

I see a rally unfolding to the HOD by the close. Think they'll load it?

Has anyone here actually been drug all over the place in a buy stop gone wrong? Or, by and large, do you hit the bid and ask limits and/or exclusively use market orders? Entry against at 100% retrace. That's risk, boys!

Cup and Handle meltdown on a 512T/8M. They might push it back up and if they do I'ld say bear flag print rather than a bull high and tight. We could see 60 point range-bound, directionless swings out of this.
