You are talking fundementals here....what matters is the NFLX chart started its earnings run two weeks ago and crapped out after gaining something mega like 15 bucks a share. Yesterday there was a big divergence high made. Today NFLX was in free fall and closed on the lows of the day and shows...

The finite volume elements indicator does seem worth following up on, but it looks a little rough without a little data processing as you can see by the .png included here. Perhaps using a T-3 MA or a Jurik MA function of the indicator itself would reduce false triggers without losing any...

good words...we are all responsible for ourselves. If we don't watch our money, who will? Cramer? :D

In the long run the public is ALWAYS wrong. Dumb money. They watch these dopes like Cramer, Maria (this stock is on fire!), Joe Bag of Donuts Batataglia and lap it up. The sheeple can be right for a period of time, like they were right in stocks in the late 90's through March 2000. But then...

This sounds like a regurgitation of your Poly Sci 101 class that you probably just finished. Geez, where do you start with this one. And land barons too? Cool.

This is hardly a scientific observation, but I notice if I try to start the eSignal app right at the market open I often have problems with the charts filling. They often sit there with just the price and one single bar, not flesh out for the 2 months plus data. Maybe too many people hitting...

I have an crosstrainer/stepper set up right next to my office chair. I try to put in at least an hour each trading day. This along with entering yesterdays trades and inspecting equity curves, fooling with ice water or coffee, taking a vitamin, watching TIVO TV shows on the set in the office...

I have given some thought to this too. You could move to a state where there are no state taxes like Nevada, South Dakota, Oregon and save maybe 10% on your overall tax bill. Or you could move to another country and have, I think, the first 80k exempt (if I heard right) as well as no state...

I think it would be hard to find two traders here that look at the same thing. The break of the classic wedge is certainly one way to trade. I don't follow that set up. I trade on price, trendline, divergence, and RSX. The attachment shows what I was refering to about weakness, divergence...

In fairness to Heil here (not that he asked me!), on my screen this move upward looks very weak. Heil is only down something like 1.6%, in my trading I set a 3% stop to give a little room. A big negative divergence has been formed on the CAT chart, I don't see much upside here. Its very...

sma seems unbelivable in backtesting. It never quite works out in real trading. Try papertrading this system before trading. With SMA crossover on a daily chart you will get clobbered. Not to mention if you try to go long/short with a SAR type of system with this approach you will NEVER find...

These words certainly ring true to me. I am guilty of trying to introduce elements from my "test bed" too quickly in the past. I have learned now also to have my seperate "test bed" and only gradually evolve my system that is now making a profit. Since my system of three years has evolved to...

There is an indicator called 'fve" or finite volume elements that I was checking out a few months ago. It is coded for eSignal already. Here is an excerp from the article (and the link) http://store.yahoo.com/traderscom/v212debrbyma.html "The finite volume elements (FVE) indicator is yet...

I have enjoyed seeing your trades in KKD and CAT. But I would have to agree with many of the others here that your trading seems to lack consistent rules, or any rules for that matter. Some have commented that your style of trading is a sure way to go bust. These are actually pretty fair...

check this link out... http://www.sapphirebay.com/index.html They offer a little software interface that will work with Datek or Ameritrade that takes the pain away. They also offer another littke gem that specifically links with Datek/Ameritrade that makes tax time a breeze. It finds all...

the "air" around KKD looks a little rare at this RSX reading...

Just imagine if J Lo quits using her personal trainer for just a couple of days and has a couple of Fudgecicles... her ass will be so fricking big a yardstick wouldnt span it. Short, dumpy, and full of herself. On a good day she is average at best, you can see better eyecandy hanging around...

This so right on. I still have to fight with myself to follow my system and take the trade. I still have to review my stats and say to myself "ok, system is right with this equity 66.3% of the time, profit factor is "x", blah, blah. It takes a somewhat intelligent, but especially an open...

Skills specific to one being a good or even great trader may be hard to nail down considering the range of the human personality. I think that trader income (success) differences fall into normal patterns of distribution similar to some other occupations. With the important difference that...

That kind of sounds like those letters we all used to get in the mail. "Send one dollar to the 5 names on the top of the list. Send this letter on to 100 people you know. If you do so faithfully someday your name will be on the top of the list. You will then receive $1 million bucks sucker!"...
