Covestor is actually reliable?

Most influential analyst around, if you don't believe me just look at the XLF dive on her interview on CNBC this aft.

I'm not sure how effective it is to use charting for USO due to the contango issue. Best to chart CL I think.

You're right there's quality out there but sometimes hard to distinguish in the miles of miles of scams. The reason? Barrier to entry of becoming a professor (Ph.D) or MD is quite high but any idiot can open up a website.

I like your style, good solid head you have. You're one of these guys one can have faith in that even if one strat ends up losing edge over time, he'll come up with another, and always stay ahead of the game. Good work.

couldn't get anything going today, churned all day. I also don't think I'll be posting the blotter here much more, it's so dead....

Run as fast as you can from this penny shit. Start by learning about basic support /resistance levels and go from there.

I think it all boils down to how extreme the situation is -- if it really is like nuclear then I think gold is useless. Better to have guns, food, seeds, water, tools ,etc. However if we just get to world financial meltdown stage then I think gold will be used as a bartering medium...

I'm not bashing him, just saying one should look at ways to improve one's system, that's all. I'm always looking for ways to diminish drawdowns and maximize profits. Only way to get better.... and hey, I post my losses.

Check out the performance of this dude: http://xpositions.blogspot.com/ Not verified but if true that's some serious size....

Come on guys let's get some of the big hitters posting again!

Ok I understand your day now, you're a reversion to the mean trader so of course trend days are going to be the hardest. You might want to add an early warning system for trend days to your system. Not perfect but might help you with the big drawdowns. Good journal.

Yes it def is complex issue. I spent some time trying to figure out whether there was a good strat trading XLE USO in pairs but could never find one and I think GDX GLD is v similar. Just too many factors that are unrelated....

good for you, as long as it works.....

yes look at a chart of gold in the 80s. It really can go parabolic and then crash down ....

Nice day. I don't like posting the trades and tickers but suffice it to say that I got most of these plus a few of my own including GMCR PCLN.

Not sure how much correlation you can make between the miners and the price of gold, similar to crude and oil stocks (say USO versus XLE or CL/XLE)

No, the conclusion isnt obvious to me. A few years ago this journal was rocking, now it's not. I know the end result but not sure about the reason.

This journal is really dead. Before people posted blotters and they'd be viewed like 300x, now we're lucky at 50. What gives?

I dont think there are excerpts from the FAber report out there for free but if you listen to his interviews you get what he wants to hold (like buy gold, buy oil, buy ags, short fins, whatever the pairing). There was a poster here who said he was awesome and had some great calls last 2...
