    BWolinsky Trading

    Lovely translation of a paper. It is hard to believe that price cycles are not completed. I guess you feel you proved that price cycles do not complete for years after you entered long and price never peaks as it continues upward. I can understand people not wanting that result. Attached...

    BWolinsky Trading

    For those who use indicators to trade, it is NOT a good idea to use 50% as a signal on a STOCH tuned to "overbought" and "oversold"signals. From a trading strategist point of view, it is necesary to use any indicator as the designer intended. For the cash cow the indicators were "tuned" for...

    Volume analysis is to be discarded as it is "too much information"

    Would it be too much to ask for you or someone else to put up a spreadsheet so some traders can fill it in for you? Thunderdog, Buy1sell2 and others have really contributed a great deal to the volume discussion. The indicator orientation was also a contribution. One of the first and basic...

    How does death impact your psychology?

    I lucked out. My gerentologist is the exhead of academics locally and he wedges me into each support field I need with the best. The head of the Heart Hospital here teams with a student (also a nurse at the heart hospital) of one of the most famous chinese Tia Chi instructors. They...

    BWolinsky Trading

    Thank you for your response. I do not see any common ground. since we work on six levels of logic (components>> subassemblies>>assemblies>> final assemblies>> and the integration of two levels of final assemblies to get an execution logic for the basic core. From that core there are three...

    BWolinsky Trading

    The trading stategy of the Cash Cow is to build a basic core intraday trading core that trades channels on the 5 minute ES using reversal trading. Raw price/volume data (P, V) was converted to about 31 information components. These were assembled on four levels of logic and iteratively...

    Volume--- how to use it and WHY

    As you say anyone has the right to his opinion. In the reality of real trading and the self selection process that accompanies how skilled traders are drawn to each other, I feel that I am totally surrounded by an incredible spectrum. It has always been my percceived responsibility to share...

    How does death impact your psychology?

    At 76, death is not an undealt with issue. I usually fail treadmill stress tests because I cannot take in enough air to keep breathing hard enough to get my heart rate high enough for my age, BMI, etc. Naturally my heart scan reports mailed to me tell me to contact a doctor immeediately...

    I take Frankfurt at his word. My post was a contribution; let me further the conversation with an additional level of information. I will build on three prior posts: Spydertrader's where he explains theorder of events in volume terms; "Charts' chart of the volatility/volume matrix; and my post...

    More bad news for those playing the home game

    Hi guy990opl, I have never had he experience of making 34% in one year much less last year. So I am completely unfamiar with what a person in your situation endures. Intraday trading is very different and mostly relates to the market's offer as the day progresses. Secondly it relates to...

    Market Intelligence.

    These two comments are found at the most major fork in the road that a growing, learning trader faces. From a military viewpoint, the strategic training done in Carlyle at the War College or the Basic Training done at any bootcamp for any service, it all comes down to winning or losing the...

    BWolinsky Trading

    What look back duration do you use to set the volume filter(s); we are using 20 days on 5 minute bars. This is a 1600 element sample, roughly. For BW, his sample would be about 500 elements if he used 20 days for his filters. BW also has an artificial data feed limitation. With respect to...

    BWolinsky Trading

    Your invitation is interesting. I see that Atticus also has some important trading strategist's concerns. And he is commenting from that viewpoint. For those who trade ATS's as traders, there must be a range of annual trades that surface as a consequence of optimizing trader strategies...

    How much due diligence would you perform on a fund before giving them your $$$?

    Reflect a little. Maybe do some thinking about your past work effort. Usually 15 minutes is enough to KNOW to throw the docs in the circular file. If you type up an evaluation of the top ten factors, it may stretch to 30 minutes for a top 50 type fund before you chuck it in the circular...

    Are financial programmers under paid?

    Seriously, my point was that programmers are an integral key to a firm's building wealth. I also feel independent firms comprised of a few quality persons can really clean up in a few years and then be free to do anything desired. The eighth grade earth science question was a very clear...

    Leading indicator of price; there are six pertinent combinations of ingredients (in triads and quadads) that answer three questions: 1. Where is market in cycle? 2. What MUST come next? and 3. How fast is the cycle changing. This is how anticipation replaces prediction and the use of...
