    Superstition, Luck and Vodoo

    Looks like the proverbial camel's nose under the tent - inside of which a lively, largely congenial meeting is being held by a mixed group of agnostics, theosophists, gnostics, kabalists, non-exclusionary atheists, among many others (apologies ahead of time to all not mentioned), as well as...

    Superstition, Luck and Vodoo

    Now where did you learn all that, and why do you consider that source credible? If someone debunked it, would it cause you to change your beliefs?

    11:16 Spike ?

    coulda been the Afghanistan bombing... hard to say... as I heard it, US hit a suspected bad guy target that may have been a wedding party, many deaths, very ugly... but the basic headline HAD been out for a while before then... technically there appeared to be a line of intraday support...

    Superstition, Luck and Vodoo

    Is any mind, in the end, really capable of seizing onto and adopting a belief system that it doesn't in some sense "like"? Some minds might by nature tend to seek out the alien and the repellent, but, if the given b.s. (!) were entirely alien and repellent, then the mind would be incapable even...

    Superstition, Luck and Vodoo

    This one's my favorite - have it as my Windows wallpaper... Called a "celestial maternity ward," this nebula appears to contain stars in the process of being formed. I think the Hubble is one of the greatest ever uses of public money. Lots of beautiful, mind-expanding stuff at the...

    Chart pattern percentages

    You provide the rules, and we'll see - at a minimum, you'd need: 1. Entry condition(s) - must be specific: lookback period (or range) for RSI, specific levels (crossover?, if so at what level?), any additional filter (e.g., time of day exclusions). 2. Exit condition(s) 3. Data...

    Superstition, Luck and Vodoo

    Yeah - thanks for the article, very interesting. Before I say anything else, I'd like to thank the other contributors to this thread - as I've enjoyed reading it, and will begin to miss it as soon as it disappears. Its popularity may suggest that we as traders share a desire to lend greater...

    S&P getting killed afterhours

    Odds favor buying the reaction, at least for daytrading purposes... timing it correctly is something else entirely... Actually, I think that there are more reasonable alternatives - like maybe freebasing cocaine... which is probably what I'll be doing during the first half-hour (like most...

    S&P getting killed afterhours

    Much past -50 would be limit down, wouldn't it? -49 (where it is right now at 2047 PST) is already -4.77 %. Good thing they raised the limits, eh what? If the NDX trades to around here, that would fill a gap from early '98. At this moment it looks to blast through notional support...

    Where Are We Headed?

    It's got to be the S&P 500 INDEX - which is what most people and their pets will be watching, and without which the futures contracts, after all, could not exist.

    TS Trailing stops

    Something's wrong. Have you opened the EL document to see whether the code makes sense to you? Is it based on an embedded "swinghigh" function that is in turn based on a "pivot" function? Did you get your copy of TS4 used? Maybe the previous owner futzed with the code. Or maybe there's...

    TS Trailing stops

    I don't recall exactly how things are set up in TS4, but I believe it's the same as in TS6 (possibly with minor adjustments): There's a SWINGHIGHLO "show me" and a TRENDLINES AUTOMATIC indicator... If you have them, try applying the former to daily charts first... There are also some sample...

    I've used and examined them. Having a problem?

    How much do you actually make daytrading?

    Just the contributions to this thread I think already demonstrate that this site includes a few people who are quite realistic. On the other hand, it wouldn't be surprising at all if active contributors to "Elite Trader" would skew a little bit towards "above average," if obviously not to a...

    How much do you actually make daytrading?

    in my opinion, is probably "How much do you actually lose daytrading?" Of course, most of the people who might have answered "everything" or "my entire account" or "too much" would be unlikely to be reading this thread. Many of the very best traders ever busted out once or twice or three...

    Trading Journal - June

    Was it the fill vs. the 1/15-16 gap that made you feel especially confident about the EBAY short? Looks like the NDX had also just gone through the prior HOD after making a what turned out to be the final HOD, on a relatively low tick. Or was it the L2 stuff you seem to focus on? Always...

    How many stocks do you watch

    Nyah... don't have to worry about the latter until it's the stocks that are watching you. It's even worse when they're talking to each other about you... but I wasn't supposed to say anything about that... now they're going to be mad at me... but I had to tell you... I saw QLGC talking to...

    Can Day Traders make a good living.

    Very valid point. I'm aware of the risks involved in holding any unhedged position, and, though I think you can minimize the odds, I know that there's nothing you can do to eliminate it completely. With this problem in mind, I rarely use much margin except when set-ups in contrary...
