quick and dirty way... look at the last 3 to 5 major trades you have had that made you significant profits OR would have made you profits if you would have stuck to your rules. Insert and roughly optimize an indicator for exiting those trades. You may try: Parabolic SAR, Detrended Price...

didn't some newsletter writer say buy today and exit wednesday? that is a very strange way to trade as so many things can change so quickly inside of a single day not to mention a weekend and 7 days. :confused:

of course we have topped!!! So Clear! In my opinion we will continue to climb for a few more weeks. 1 to 2. I think the markets are busy absorbing all the 'good' that may come out of Katrina. In theory Katrina will be like throwing the economy a $100 BILLION stimulus package. This...

vhehn, show me proof that God exists. show me proof that Karma exists. show me proof that Jesus rose from the dead. etc, etc. we believe what we want to believe... we believe what makes us most comfortable and puts our mind at greatest ease.

Thanks sub7even

I would like to learn from traders who have been trading for some time... How far ahead can you predict? and to what level of accuracy? I have read that anything more than 30 minutes and the accuracy starts to fall well below 50% due to outside factors that affect the market. I my own...

riskarb, Good Call... got squeezed out with some profits but not as much as a once had :mad: were you the one who called the market 'coiled spring'? exactly what happened... Now the question is... it's a new month... do we roll over now or in another week or 2?

The Kin, I agree, it is pretty frustrating right now and I am convinced that I just don't see the big picture whatever the hell that is... You have to trade what your see, and I see a demand for equities at a time where it makes no sense. But as I said... I must be missing something...

construction raw material alternative energy wild card: refiners. But I don't trade stocks so really my 2 cents is worth maybe 1. :D

Apologies for the spelling... flucked it in 4th grade and never got any better... I don't belive in the consp therory. However I do wonder if the market participants... especially the late arrivals at the end of the day are "hoping" for something great to show up and propel this higher...

or they are wondering what changed so much to cause 9 points of profit from the market lows, evaporate. I've been short for some time now but over the last few months have become very curious of why in the last 1 hours the markets shift only to resume their directions in the comming days...

Really? Is there a clear definition of PPT? Plunge Protection Team?

NICE!

It this market being proped up? Artifically held up? What do you think? I certainly think so but why? If someone could enlighten me

took the risk yesterday at 1214.50 and before that at 1221.00 and before that at 1232.00 would also be a seller over 1210.50 here at the close... but not enough capital

excellent point... if there were a time to short the markets... here it is

Thanks JayS As many people now know... its not the wind that does the primary damage... it's the flooding.

Does anyone know the inital damage to oil rigs, refiners, etc? I thought there would be more info by now... but maybe I'm not looking in the right place.

nor does ANYONE know what the UNDERWATER damage is on the piplines One of the big reasons Ivan cause oil to jump $10 was because of UNDERWATER mudslides... Those very piplines were out for some 9 months and have only recenly come back online! Too early to tell... I think oil at $68.65...
