Yes, but what happens with the losers? Do the 12% losers outway the gains of the winners. Also, can we put stop losses in place and test that, i.e..... say I put a 1% stop loss on every trade. Sometimes, my stop loss will kick in and sometimes it won't. The question is, does the number of...

Volker Knapp.....thank you very much for that website. Gaps are filled, but it doesnt necessarily happen right away either. Also, if you run it for most tech stocks, you will still be in the hole from the downward opening gaps in tech stocks from the crash that began in 2000.

From experience, do you find that Gaps almost always get filled at some point. Who cares if there is a gap to be filled.....what does it imply other than there is such a strong bevy of buyers or sellers so as to cause the gap? What is the significance of having to fill a gap? Is it just a...

sorry .....meant to say the exchange would adjust the strike prices for MSFT options....not that MSFT would adjsut them themselves. Probably understood, but just for clarity sakes

Are you honestly telling me that you had a friend running a hedge fund, and he didnt know that Microsoft would adjust the strike prices downward? Wow. It must not take much to work a hedge fund these days.

What exactly are you guys talking about here? Forgive my ignorance.

Your ideas about trying to get in the head of big money and what they are doing is great, but really only applies when you are tape reading. Technical indicators lag a bit behind the market. Dont get me wrong, I still like them. But there is no one indicator that a group of large...

Amen to NihabaAshi. Nothing concrete. Nothing tangible. Learn my friend, from Investorsources, by providing tangible examples of what exactly it is you are talking about. For an example of what I mean, check out this thread...

Cheese, do me a favor man, read the rest of the thread before speaking.

Yeah, theres no question I am missing data. But then again i am getting my data free from Quotetracker for now until I open my online accounts. So it stands to reason that the information would not be 100%. I know this too as I am watching it happen. Thanks for the pointout. Also...

what missing data do you mean, It seems taht everythign is there. Are you referring to the rest of the days data, because if so, I have posted the chart intraday to discuss what may come later.

Well, it looks more and more like Friday Afternoon volume is the culprit. The bands have narrowed, as shown, indicating the same as the low trending ADX, that there basically is no trend. It seems that we will tread water for the rest of the day as volume seems to have dried up a bit, so...

Well, the ADX is very low here, meaning we basically have no trend. Could be up, coudl be down, etc. Thats why these indicators look to go one way and then quickly change courses and then back again. Thats whats been happening for the past 45 minutes or so. Maybe not that long a time...

Im expecting once the stock turns lower again a short term low in the 34.80 range, by then it will probably be a buy again. As long as our set ups are there.

I was dead on about the bounce off the low at 34.94, However, I would have sold for only a ten cent gain. Since Im not comfortable shorting, I would have to wait for a long entry again. Yah, I know what you're thinking "This guy wants to trade but doesnt want to short, man take a hike or...

I want to thank Babak and Nkhoi for your insights. Nkhoi, youre chart with the description was quite interesting. A couple of notes on your chart NKhoi. Looking at arrow number white arrow number 4. It seems that it is a very high red bar, but the price goes higher, not lower as you...

When you say daily bar, what are you looking at. If you look at the ADX/DMI it is trending stong to upside all day. But at some point, which I thought would be in the 33.80 range towards the beginning of the day. The ADX was crossing over the DMI+ and heading towards 60 range and I figured it...

Well do you see any trends at all that day that would have signaled a buy or sell in your opinion. The example in the middle of my first post was very easy to understand, but also ideal. The example of the SMH yesterday, was not an ideal trading day, in my opinion. If you have another opinion...

You know, I find it very degrading that most of the people on these boards want to chastise someone for making a random comment. Yes, the comment may have been dumbfounded and made out of frustration. Or maybe the individual has a story that he would like to share from his analysis. I for one...

You know, I have done a lot of reading on these boards for the past couple of months and the last 3-4 weeks especially focused on understanding the tape and watching price action on five minute candlestick bars, level II screens and volume all at the same time. What I have noticed is...
