    This whole thread is a classic example of, "You lead a horse to water...." Amazing.

    Are trends just self fulfilling propecy?

    "3 out of 4 wrong". 1. As far as "manipulated stocks", you're playing a fool's game in low priced stocks. 2. Traps... false breakouts are not "traps", but strong, positive signals unto themselves in larger stocks. 3. Forget "chatroom stocks"... trade big, liquid names not subject to...

    Are trends just self fulfilling propecy?

    Retail loses primarily because they are not knowledgeable... not properly educated.(IOW... they are stupid but don't realize it.) If they learned "Price TA" and executed with discipline, they'd soon be driving the super car of thier dreams!! :) The price charts don't lie. It's all "right...

    Are trends just self fulfilling propecy?

    Yes to a degree. It isn't "be all and end all", but it's a significant factor in market movement. EVERYBODY is watching the same charts... when they act in majority it often becomes "monkey see, monkey do". There are patterns as to how they "usually behave". That's why traders need to know...

    More Price TA (from somebody besides me)

    Yes, he did that. But what's important are the little "circles" he draws... they are the "indications/triggers" for "where it went". Price TA is all about, "when _____________, then _____________"

    Are these Toshiba HDD Same ?

    1. I wouldn't know or how to tell whether genuine or fake. 2. You don't have to buy Toshiba brand... you can use any. I don't have any feel for spinner drives as haven't used one for more than 10 years.

    Are these Toshiba HDD Same ?

    What makes a drive enterprise is that it's supposedly "made with better quality parts for heavy use and longer life". I'm assuming you're going to keep using your current drive and add other(s)?... Your 5820 can run 6x HDD/SSD drives ... at 4TB each, that's 24TB... a lot of data. You can use...

    Possibly Important TA Tops...

    When you post that you obviously don't know "come here" from "sic 'em"... and you're snotty about it, you go on my IGNORE list.

    Possibly Important TA Tops...

    I'm just trying to help... while you're being snarky. I won 3 divisions of the US Investing Championships and finished in the top 10, 3 other years. And you think I'm just blowin' smoke? (It's not just me saying so, it's a matter of public record... results having been published in IBD and...

    Possibly Important TA Tops...

    These are characteristics/weakness of individual traders. They have nothing to do with the facts of Price TA... which shows EXACTLY when the market has shifted from buying to selling, or selling to buying. Traders should recognize that. "How long will the indication stand and how far will it...

    Possibly Important TA Tops...

    Stops. Stops! You've heard of those, right? Players blow up from failure to exercise discipline.

    Possibly Important TA Tops...

    There are a few reasons some trader might blow up, but "buying support", and "selling resistance" are not two of them.

    Possibly Important TA Tops...

    Some amount above the tops line... maybe 10 points? Maybe less? Exactly where to place stops is an art.

    Possibly Important TA Tops...

    You're wrong sweetie. The double top potential as indicated has already materialized. ES dropped 75 points... the possibility of that kind of thing was all that was inferred. Now, on to the next trade.

    Possibly Important TA Tops...

    Wrong question. Irrelevant. It's "the thing" at that point in time. The set up is relevant enough to (1) make play upon, and (2) not stay on the wrong side of... choosing to "ride it out" hoping for reversal.

    Possibly Important TA Tops...

    Price TA says... 1. No big worries so long as price is within big rising channel 2. MAY sell "channel tops line" for a potential move to channel bottoms line... which if it did, would be a technical buy with close stop. 3. Break of "bottom channel line and hold below it"... that would be a...

    Possibly Important TA Tops...

    This is for all you little weenies who whine that I only post after the play has occurred and not before (you know who you are)... Well, here's your alert... in advance. NQ double top? Arrows ES double top? Same All Price TA players should be aware. May be "the big top" (doubt it), but may...

    Pattern Recognition = Consistent Profits

    Just for you. Notice the green zones... reverses down from the upper one, reverses up from the lower one. These are "resistance" and "support" zones. (1) Look for these and trade them, (2) make a $Million, (3) donate a few bucks to a no-kill animal shelter near you. Don't think you have to...
