    The Stochastic Indicator

    Okay let's try hard to get the basic rules to work first. It will be worth it for a while to ignore all the nuances from your past and just keep it very simple. But soon you will be able to go over to the 5,2,3. The news stuff in particular has to be disregarded. The market knows before...

    Why some people cry about their stops :)

    Stops and trading cycles are separate from each other. Stops are to protect you and trading is to make money. They are at two different places on a chart if you are using TA charting methods.

    I need to wait on this for a while. If quacktrader does get back another humorous comment in a week or so we will know he has a headache or something. There is a color example of this floating around somewhere on one of the bulletin boards people keep of my stuff. Maybe you or someone can...

    the scoring is for individual stocks. The rally attempt analysis applies to market trends. You can use it on the major indexes. The indexes so have trends that are of various lengths but the RAA is generally used to determine the state of the long term trend.

    The Stochastic Indicator

    dawg the time between the fast peaking line and the xover rapid convergence means the histogram is collapsing fast to zero. With this going on you can count on it diverging well after the xoover as the next part of the sequence. We are looking for the widest angle between the fast and slow...

    Try this and you might get the picture. Don't worry that you don't get it yet. This stuff requires a mind that is working. Draw a sawtooth chart for several teeth. number it as follows: It may take a few tries for you. At the trough (bottom of tooth) put numbers on each side close...

    LOL. Actually I am neutral biased. I sholdn't be I know because the ratio of long to short is 27 to 8 (two cubes) in time. You are long biased and choose that for whatever reasons. For fun when I was young I traded around the IBM Board Economic committee meeting. IBM gave me stock...

    ***Backtesting is a strange mythical thing. I can explain why but it is self evident after a while. It is best to just get to that place by the route you choose. Making money is a very stimulating process and the focus gets to KISS when you are an expert. When we get to market limitations...
