Thanks for posting. At home amateurs that work other jobs don't get a chance to listen to professional traders . YouTube has so many choices(salesmen mostly) Any other videos on YouTube that people can suggest? But , then again why would any other profitable trader show another what to do?

NoDoji, Does Bob Volman's forex price scalping book have any or much to say about applying his techniques to daily or even weekly price bars? Secondly , if the book does not address daily or weekl bars, do you think it is applicable? I recall from some of your posts years ago that you...

And/or unemployed defense can also be civilians holding secret or higher clearances. Good for two years after layoff. Someone else has already paid for a rigorous background check. Re- check financials may be in order, especially in light of what you are employing them to do for you. This...

Was the "too restrictive" the fast work of credit tightening the bond market was doing for weeks now? Talk about a Key Reversal day in bonds/notes. How can you not call a temporary top in yeilds here . And, unlike stocks it is day 1 of a potential move.

What the heck did he say after the close? Look at bonds/ notes and dollar overnight. Tell me now ... We are up about 10 straight days after a less than dovish FOMC meeting. Did any of you guys get the memo 10 days ago he was gonna say this shit today?

SMI is stochastics momentum index but I swear to God I don't use it ! Your question is similar to "who farted? " And my answer is similar to "the dog"

The question is inevitable. I guess I am maybe the first to read this post. Would you take a moment to elaborate on the commonality of the "how" they lose their money? Maybe in contrast to longer time frame traders. Thanks.

Thank you for your response. Taken together your last two posts are indeed excellent. Best Wishes.

How do the traders select the spreads they will trade and do they specialize on a small number of spreads or "see" opportunity anywhere in the macro space and trade that spread As long as they see opportunity? My other question related to above is....do these traders have a solid fundamental...

US treasuries bonds should soon yeild 10% per month in my opinion. :eek:

Do you guys recall prior to 2008 the bubble in dry bulk shippers, coal,steel, fertilizer,oil,nat gas,farm and mining machinery producers and china stocks. Archer Daniels Midland was a momentum stock. Isn't it always bullshit and manipulation. Is a "move" ever appropriate and measurable. You...

Surf, Honest question. You are a journalist and trader. Youve been around 20+ years. Do you know of Peter Brandt? Charts as "trading tools" and trend following seem to be exactly his thing and relevant to this specific thread and TA in general. Thanks.

Would not you have to trade a 20% winner with RR of 5:1 system with small position size to tolerate drawdown due to a long string of consecutive losers? I see the positive expectancy but does anyone really trade a system such as this? I suppose I should thank you for giving me more important...

Is it because Dunn can't move as fast as I can with my 100 shares of SPY ? Do THEY stick to rigid trend following where about 30% are winners. Itis uncanny ... This seemingly market truism of about 30-35% winners if you hold through large retracement s. And, isn't everyone's MR and chop...

I think there is a nice supply trend line since 24 June on the hourly chart with about 6 tags that was broken on the volatile hourly bar from 1 to 2 pm. Last 2 days look as chop. I would draw horz. levels at 20 and 40 based on the hourly chart. I would draw 35,30 and 25 levels from a five...

HYGS was a pink slip $1.00 stock 10 years ago. Is it related to what tesla is doing? Rhetorical...I don't care.

I would like to see a trend following thread address market selection. Yes, the trading books ALL seem use the same 20 or so futures contracts , present a couple of systems and show the results of varying parameters. They are all the same. I would like to see someone take on the issues of...

I have read some good ideas on ET about having some type of go/no go context filters for general market conditions that would turn off or moderate a breakout trend following system in light of present general conditions. Don't remember specifically where , but, probably in the Strategy System...

I learn more and more that with limited understanding I haven't a chance of predictions. But even with excellent understanding, maybe an Asain bank, how can the extent of a move be predicted or measured? Can it? Are JPY stops at 106, 108, 110 the only thing THEY care about. Stepping on the...

Sp 1600 would be a fine example to point to regarding S/R . Agree,in my opinion also, Hilsenrath is the main reason for rally today and front running Fed words next week. Look at REITs, and less so, utilities and dividend stocks big up day. I know nothing but am looking for treasuries...
