Is what we're seeing capitulation? Doesn't look like it. Still too many people saying we're getting close to a bottom. This thread is an example. Maybe a short term reverse is in the offing but I still don't think it has really sunk in yet.

Might also go by the name of Keltner channel.

The mo-mo crowd jumped on it then the mo-mo crowd dumped it.

Have you ever been in a bear market? A case could probably be made that the dangers of this credit mess are larger than that of the dot com bust. If you agree with that a return to 2003 levels cannot be ruled out.

There are more Christians and Muslims now than at any other time in history.

Junk all preconceptions and just look at price action and try to come up with a system from scratch using what you see. Don't try to bring your experience from trading other instruments to the analysis unless you see something obvious. Forex trades differently. Even different pairs have...

A drawback to Hillary is that she is probably the most pro-Israel.

So the general opinion now is the 95% failure rate is inflated? I wonder how many out there after two complete business cycles are making serious money trading. Any statistics on how many people who study law pass the bar and become lawyers? Or how about what percentage of med students end...

To alleviate your paranoia I recommend you have a cold shower regularly.

Maybe you need to reset your body clock. Take a week off trading or whatever activities are preventing or distracting you from having a regular sleeping cycle. Your body may have gotten too used to the current routine. You can allow yourself to sleep in on a weekend for 12 hours and see if...

The dollar hasn't collapsed. If it ever does though the opinions expressed in this article will look completely stupid.

Read EU is China's biggest export market. US second. Wasn't it just back in 1989 that the West imposed economic sanctions to little effect because the Chinese economy was basically self-sufficient? Dramatic changes since then but hard to imagine it just turned into an export led and dependent...

That song sounded familiar but the presentation seemed new to me. Finally figured out where I thought I heard it before. Is it based on Beethoven's 3rd Symphony? Also what is it with screeching rock that makes it popular? Did the concept of melody die or is it too mainstream?

On a further note I believe these two stocks made my own watchlist too at the time based on fundamental criteria.

Your first BAMM example is hard to analyze because the picture you provided does not show the dates. As for the PNRA example I presume it is because of an opening gap down. By any chance did you check if there were any significant announcements like earnings on these dates? After...

So, umm, how would you play a completely random market to make profits?

Prisoner's dilemma.
