Surfdaddy, we have a FBO on the chart. Did you see the volume coming in? Since you like predictions, I'll make one for tomorrow: Tomorrow's volume will exceed today's. I know what you're thinking: you can't make money off that prediction. :p I'll post a chart later.

I have posted over 10 years here, with lots of charts I'm sure. Go through the archives. See if you can find any Fibonacci. For all you know 6-18 could be my birthday.

I'll tell you tomorrow! I promise. But today is not done yet. And because you do not have the owner's manual, you do not know that the market is at an important stage on that fractal. Zoom in to get a heads up. Get your calculator out and run PRVs.

Here's a descriptive chart from end of today's AM. It won't mean anything to a person like McSurfy who doesn't have the owner's manual with a complete glossary of descriptors like BO, FBO, lateral, RTL, PRV, RM, AM, midday, PM BO, etc. But the colors are nice.

Very glad that software relieves me of doing PRV in my head. Not only that, I run it on several bar durations and across 3 instruments. I don't know Big Blue but I'll remember your denominator advice.

No doubt, that is your best invention. Kudos.

A slow motion coin flip: BO or FBO? The trick to "winning" is to not make a "call" - i.e., do not predict and bet. Let others do that. Zoom in intraday on the index futures and see dry up volume going on. Volume will show which it will be.

Oh I haven't ignored the chatter about the FTT. But instead of concerning myself with what the politicians and bureaucrats are inclined to do, I just focus on what I'm going to do. As another poster stated, independent traders are not a protected class in this country. When a law is enacted...

Yes, that's the talk anyway, by 2016. The supposed rationale is to offset the fact that there is no income tax on the gains. The rates proposed are much lower than that of the Tobin tax - 0.001% on KOSPI 200 index futures trades and 0.01% on the index options.

Who are the "they" you refer to? If you mean the U.S. government imposing the Tobin tax on U.S. traders of non-U.S. markets, I have already considered that and I am prepared for it. The bottom line is, imposing the Tobin tax will just chase away liquidity to somewhere else. I will follow and...

Personally, I have zero concern about the FTT. Markets are global and participants are not without choices. If the FTT passes in an overly oppressive form, I will just switch to a non-US market. I've been scoping out the KOSPI the last couple years for that purpose. I've been through the...

Okay, so you don't like platitudes uttered by psych experts who do not trade. Are platitudes any different if uttered by psych experts who say they do trade? If an expert trader trained a parrot to squawk platitudes, would it be possible for a noob to learn trading psych from the parrot? Since...

I don't know Adrienne either. Obviously I am not as well read in trading psych as you are. I read Elder's Trading for a Living over 15 years ago on a recommendation and had to sit through a video of his at the office I traded from. I don't remember much from the book and I don't see it on the...

Okay, you got me interested. What is "pop psych" and the kind that Denise Shull peddles? What's the difference? A reference point I can understand is Mark Douglas. Is he pop psych or Denise Shull psych?

Until this thread I had never heard of Denise Shull and thought Flava Flav was a rapper. Wow, the trading psych industry is getting crowded.

It's been a long time since the con law course I took in law school; can you cite me some cases where the ACLU and fanatical anti-religion groups made enormous legal fees suing the government? Thanks.

It's not a clear pic, but from the details I can make out - slim fit, two buttons, chest pocket with pocket square, notched and not too narrow lapels, four-button cuffs, welt pockets - I would say that is an Armani Collezioni "Giorgio" Suit in midnight blue. The dead giveaway for me is the welt...

No need for any of that. I have access to ET's P&R.
