Well, put your money where your feminine mouth is and short it then, shooter ! Are you sure you are not one of those French ladies yourself ?

If we settle this week above last year's highs, it is a free call option. Puking shorts and stop-loss triggers will add momentum. Really big, deep pockets will try to run some stops for the free juice. GSC is the best fade ever, and his technical analysis sux. No competent technical...

If we settle this week above last year's highs, it is a free call option. Puking shorts and stop-loss triggers will add momentum. Really big, deep pockets will try to run some stops for the free juice. GSC is the best fade ever.

Then please by all means go ahead and sell into a technically strong bullish market. Don't bother with us. We settle this week above last year's highs and you have a free call option. After you get short, tell us in a few months time how profitable you are.

And several weeks and many, many points lower please be advised that much earlier in this thread I called for a target of 1370. Tell the entire story. Including yourself wearing this market for 32 points and several percentage points in your face since you started calling a "top".

The bigger FCMs will also clear your cash Treasury trades through BrokerTec or Cantor Fitzgerald. The OTC stuff will likely require a prime brokerage account.

You are going to find the obvious stuff you have mentioned - and there are many variations and combinations and permutations that are less obvious. You will find that the bigger prop traders protect their spread combinations if they believe them to be less crowded and unique. You also have...

No, it's actually true for all timeframes. Empirical Methods can be made consistent, opinions about markets are never consistent. Once you accept that premise, it is a huge step in the right direction. I get .pdf statements every evening from my clearing firms, and those position P&Ls...

Well, if you trade for a living you get paid on price and not your own opinion about the "quality" of that price print you are looking at. And since HFTs and HFs are not going away, so what ? You buy them cheaper than you sell them - case closed. The market could really care less about what...

The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index will gain as much as 4.2 percent by mid-March if it ends the week above 1,365, according to Roelof-Jan Van den Akker, senior technical strategist at ING Groep NV in Amsterdam. “Most people are not believing in this rally. Prices are climbing a wall of worry...

Why does that matter ? The market is what the market is and things are worth what people are willing to pay for them. If anything, your premise that there is no retail participation would lend further credence to the "smart money" arguement supporting the rally. Corporate "insiders" are...

There is NO competent technical basis to be calling a major market "top" in the S&P. None. And after that reverse pennant breakout the first of the year, continuing to call for a market breakdown was folly in terms of technical price action. Higher highs and higher lows. Classic. If...

Patience can be a real asset with trading - a common mistake in terms of timing an entry is typically on the early side. Reacting "to" the market condition versus getting chopped up and whipped around in a premature entry can be preferable. Probably the best way to accomplish this would be to...

Can you get access to the Platt's daily cash market postings; Bloomberg has them as well - look at the daily Gulf Coast refining metrics. I like the Bloomberg Crude Netbacks function ( what you really want is like a cash forward crack spread curve ).

You said that 8 percentage points ago. Since there are only two ways a market can go, you will eventually be correct.

You said that 8 percentage points ago.

Lots and lots of postings by Lucias repeatedly trolling for education clients. Has gone to excess IMO. Many, many, many examples with an extended history. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=3414382&highlight=client#post3414382

That is not what you said in your opening post: So, BS on you. You don't trade it. And you are sceptical of a pattern you see, and you are rightfully terrorized by the predictable drawdowns experienced by your simulation efforts to date regarding the system, you post it for the world to...

Well, the lack of relevant feedback should be very informative to you if you are not blind to the message about your strategy. Alternatively, pleased be advised that Kase Pivots, Jan Arps, DiNapoli, Andrews Pitchforks, or any the generic swing reversal studies that I am aware of on LIVE...
