I never have trouble connecting when I'm on a wi-fi or 3G connection using my 2nd gen iPhone. On the Edge network, it's much more hit and miss. I've only used it once to trade an option, but I find it useful to get current ES quotes when I'm on the road. I'd LOVE to see an iPhone version...

I waded in lightly trading SPM live for the first time. In spite of not riding some of the moves as well as I could have, and really goofing on stop placement for one trade, any green day beats any red day.

I meant to add that on the weak buys and sells (MACD cross below the zero line for a buy and above the zero line for a sell), waiting for a pullback seems to offer better entry points and closer stops. Although these are lower probability trades, many move quite well.

I've been lurking on the SPM threads quite awhile so I figured it's time to offer my 2 cents. Back testing (visually), I've noticed that waiting for a pull back to a 9 period simple moving average helps avoid buying or selling the top or bottom of a bar. I'm now working on visually calling...

Jahajee, THANKS for your work on this! When I first looked at the 5 minute chart you posted, it appeared signals were generated when the RED line crossed the zero line, not the blue line. Then, after reading your posts and looking again, it appears instead you may be waiting until the...

Exactly. A few short months ago "everyone" said deflation was impossible and "experts" had a million reasons and "facts" to prove it.

Let's see. In 2005 "everyone" predicted ever higher house prices. More recently "everyone" predicted $200 oil and that the dollar would go somewhere closer to zero. When gold and silver were peaking earlier this year once again "everyone" predicted much higher prices. Do you see a freakin'...

Great spoof. Thanks for the laugh. http://www.strategerycapital.com

Yes! I for one am completely paralyzed and would never even dream of placing a trade without the amazing trading advice so graciously provided by His Market Majesty, the glorious and benevolent RFT. Thank you O Selfless One for sharing your Infinite Wisdom with a mere mortal such as my...

Considering what's happening in the financial markets, are you saying you have faith in RATINGS?!

Wow! What an incredible coincidence! Outlandishly bullish stories about oil are surfacing at the same time the 30 day MA for bullish sentiment has crossed 90%. Of course, oil is different! “Everybody knows” oil can only go up, up, up! After all, look at all the reasons it simply HAS to...

How about an update on being able to trade NYMEX crude options?

Perhaps losing $1.2 billion shorting put options has put him on tilt. http://globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.com/2008/05/buffett-loses-12-billion-shorting-put.html

My favorite t-shirt says: ALCOHOL, TOBACCO & FIREARMS ... ... should be a convenience store, not a government agency. My second favorite has "Celebrate Diversity" below pictures of about 20 different models of handguns.

Like so many other economic illiterates, your childlike faith in the power of government and the Fed simply illustrates your stunning ignorance.

With billions being spent (wasted) on futile attempts to prop up the credit market, I think they may be running out of powder. http://globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.com/2008/04/fed-is-terrified.html Mish has been in the deflation camp for some time. The more of his work I read the more I...

Well, it's not THAT bad, since I had a stop and reverse on the upside breakout of the triangle. I prefer to be a bear when everyone else is a bull but, the chart IS the chart.

A few minutes with Google, which you also could have used to correct your "impression", yielded this site: http://www.conservativeusa.org/eo/fdroosevelt.htm Click on order 6102. I linked the entire list so you could give yourself a history lesson about the "great" FDR, who used a crisis...

If you're a government planning to re-index the value of an ounce of gold from $20.67 to $35.00 you want the new valuation to benefit you, not private citizens. Never underestimate the level of economic force any government will use against its citizens to buy the votes of fools and economic...

How many more times will you have to see a market do something contrary to the opinion of idiot economists and the crowd to get an inkling that you will NEVER know the correct reason(s) for any significant move in advance? How many times do you have to hear, "Nobody could have predicted...
