I toyed with that idea of having "cycle" number lines. I never did much with that research but it was the idea of "matching" a number line to a specific A level. I do that with the monthly number lines for example. They are not rolling, they are static. So the number line matches up well...

Regarding all the number lines and all the A levels, let me say that the best way to learn about them is simply to jump into the pool in the deep end and start swimming. It took me a long time to understand how all the moving parts interacted with each other. Be weary of getting involved with...

I'm going to give you the information and the cost to you is I'm going to be a dick about giving it to you. One skill every trader absolutely MUST have is the ability to both find information and then know what do with it when he has it. Finding this information is very easy, you just have...

Austin, has it occurred to you that years back from the period of 1995 to about 2002 that that period was the anomaly, not now. We had a huge influx of really stupid dumb paper money that made discretionary point and click trading really easy. And now, the markets are very efficient, the...

I have found that absolutely nothing else has given me better feel for the markets then when I score my number lines. Another reason why they should not be automated. When you score a number line, it requires you to get inside that market and look at it's mechanics. Just giving someone a...

You are never going to become an ET billionaire without massive size King. just sayin...:D

One of my chapters in the underground Mav E-book talks about how automating the number lines would defeat the whole purpose of them. It's analogous to automating art. Although I hear people are working on that. The number lines get their "value" from the fact that they are should not be...

So a brief overview of the 5 day. All the various number lines we use communicate information to us about the market. They open our eyes to value. Some provide information on price, some on volatility, some on time and some on market environment. All things we need to optimize our decision...

It could be a virus. It's very easy to replicate the site and try to get you to click a link. If you are not already a member then there is no way for an existing member to contact you unless he personally knows your e-mail and invites you. For example, Linked in (with your permission) can...

Looks good Robert. Very similar layout to mine.

Yes, it is priced into the puts. No free money.

Ugh....no, that doesn't work. The short rates on some of these are over 100%! That's money that gets pulled out of your account everyday btw.

It is but there is a caveat. His first fund blew up. And I'm sure the ET crowd would love to point out what a bad investment that would have been and how he underperformed the S&P 500 blah, blah,blah. You had to "buy in" to his strategy and believe there would be a payoff long term...

That's him. http://seekingalpha.com/instablog/899162-jon-springer/234925-mongolia-why-and-how-to-invest-in-stocks

Yeah I know the guy. He kept a journal here on ET and use to post on this thread a lot.

I think the commissions are negotiable at some point and the exchange fees depend on what software you are using I believe.

Right, its a lesson in economics. It's all about opportunity cost. I could give Bright 50k if I felt I was getting more value for that 50k at Bright vs say TST. What if I felt I could optimize my current asset by investing that 50k in real estate and allocating $150 towards TST. Is the 50k...

Sure. I wouldn't invest all my money with him, but 5%? Maybe. The only reason I would ever invest in a fund is if it was an absolute return style fund that would invest in things that I normally would not find on my own. If I want to be long risk I'll buy an index fund. I don't know the...

Thanks for chipping in and keeping the ship on course. :) All good responses. And good points on leverage. Leverage is the thing that seems to kill 90% of the people on ET. A lot of people seem to mistake leverage for skill. Or leverage for performance. I assume you are referring to...

No, you can take out money anytime you want after you pass that initial cushion. If you are OK with a 60% payout, you can take money out every week if you want. They're trying to give you an incentive to keeping capital in to build your equity. The way this model is separate from the...
