Are they any good at picking potential stronger/weaker stocks? Any better than a simple relative strength against major indexes type of indicator?

I just have a thing against pretenders, bullshitters, liars and vendors pushing useless stuff on this board.

Come back when you actually *realize* any profits! Anybody can post BS like that simply by having 2 accounts with opposing positions. Only the profitable acct gets posted, dumb newbies are fooled and bullshitters get a good laugh. If you want to make a more sincere effort, at least post the...

The original poster said he was out of money. Why are you always pushing this collective thing, anyway? Do you or the collective supply capital?

Just because you follow a system does not relieve you of worrying whether the drawdown it's currently in will be the one that sends your acct plummeting.

These numbers are not reliable at all. Somebody short a lot of stocks for example, and needed to cover (temporarily) could just long the futures. This way they'd also have less of a hassle with the uptick rule when they eventually decide to once again go short. Hedge funds, especially follow...

I know you didn't address this question to me but if you look back over the last 10-20 years, there's been a *huge* change in how people trade. Everyone looks at charts, has fast computers to test, study past price movements, along with fast execution and low transaction costs have made systems...

Not something I normally use but did notice the same bad ticks on Quote.com yesterday and today, although they've now been corrected.

gharghur2, Just for your information, on your 'long term' chart, between 2000 and 2002, you have a down ''C'' wave which is probably acceptable. However, the fact that you then subdivided it into 2 smaller a-b-c's is not acceptable in EW theory since a "C" wave can NEVER be anything other...

That was the alternate wave count which obviously didn't pan out! There's always an alternate and opposite count, depending which way the market goes. :D :p

The difficulty with non-english europe is most of us, myself included, don't read their material. But 2-3 years ago some banks were pushing these arrangements locally in France, Spain, Portugal. Can't remember which banks though. Some mutual funds there had similar offerings too. If I...

European banks have been offering similar deals for several years now. Nothing new.

How else are they going to get your money?

All easy to say hard to do. Nothing the other 95% didn't say/do and they still bowed out. Wrong time to even bother with this gig. What the markets need is LESS daytraders and hedge funds and more investors. The remaining traders, robots and hedge funds are sucking the crap out of this market...

Long commodity-based stocks and short consumer-type cyclicals.

What do you want? For the average Joe-six-pack to be on the beach year-round and calling his broker, uh make that trade on-line with his E-trade acct while drinking his Corona's? Sorry pal, somebody's gotta produce the goods and services an economy needs unless you want to be a slave to...

This is the dumbest post I've ever seen. What? More like this market is DEAD, DEAD, DEAD! At this rate you'll soon earn a better rate on a CD than the dead stock market. I can't believe somebody on a trading forum actually believes the market has been 'volatile'!

This list totally invalidates whatever system you've come up with. Many of these are commodity related stocks which have benefited huge in the last couple of years. That's NOT a system. Use the newspapers hot list in the BEGINNING of the test period to do your hypothetical 'test'. Do that...

You're really putting the cart before the horse, AGAIN! How can you even assume you're gonna make any money since it sounds like you haven't even started trading? Now, if you *were* trading AND were in the minority of lucky people out there to actually turn a profit, then the other...

So, what's your point?
