Ok Boli :) Ya...your insight/tips are very true. I think that is why I was so torn the other day with going short when the TRIN was at around .2-.3. That is where my inexperience/lack of trading/education/whatever is coming to the forefront. As you say, the bulls can't run forever, and the...

Again, not a bad trading day gain wise, but I give myself a "D" on the day. I didn't play the morning jobs report and I also wanted to make sure I was out of the market before the ISM numbers came out. Glad I did that. Made a couple mental errors during the day a took a trade at the wrong...

tick chart:

Volente, Bol, or anyone else who wants to chime in...a little mid day question for you guys... Bol, per your suggestions, don't short at market with the TRIN around 0.5 (very bullish)... On a day like today where you have both "good" news and bad...the PA is very clearly formed a double top...

Hey Vol, How do you handle gap up days like today...and the 1st for that matter? Obviously, gapped on the open with news...are news days excluded?

Guys! For like the 10th time...i don't care who is right and who is wrong...i dont care how much money someone made in the P/L thread. Please take this somewhere else if you want to prove each other right or wrong.

Ok now your really pissing me off...live by your own words. You have nothing to offer and you refuse to adhere to my gentle request of not getting in who's right/wrong arguments. You need to go back and read your own post about being "rude and churlish" This is exactly the reason people get...

Blotto, Alright honestly, now this is getting a bit old...I've already stated numerous times, if you have something to offer in terms of insight/critiques/ideas/whatever, please feel free to do so. The fact that you gave a +1 to jinxu's quote tells me you don't want to share your insights...

Yes, I agree, and thank you for your contribution...well thought out and backed up with comments other than dont buy here/sell here. Also, just looked up the T day theory...pretty funny, its cool that people went back and backtested it as well... My quote for the day, "I wish I was always...

Vol, Please don't start a pissing match/my d*ck is bigger than yours thread...I think u having given some very insight tips and help and I thank you for it... I posted earlier to kindly ask if Blotto would back up his statements a bit more other than just stating a general/generic comment...

And the 5min...pretty much was on this all day:

Well today I came out ahead, but I think that was due to luck more than anything...I give myself a "C-" for the day. I had a lot of mental lapses/not paying attention throughout the day similar to yesterday. The nice thing about a slow moving market is I give myself plenty of time to see the...

Someone correct me if Im wrong, but I believe if you are running XP, there are ports you can't close because of the OS. Also, if you do the shields up test, make sure you are not running through a router, in which case, shields up is looking at your router not the computer. Again, take a...

Blotto, Please dont take this the wrong way as I appreciate your feedback. I guess I wish you would explain the "why" a little more in depth in your posts..IE "Better to understand why some gaps reverse and some continue in the direction of the gap right out the gate." ok but why? I...

I believe panda software can do it, but can't remember for sure...do you have to use a firewall? what about an ipblocker?

Not to belabor the point, but how did you guys get over bad habits when you first started? How do you still break bad habits? If a "new" bad habit forms, what does it usually take to reconize the habit?

Sorry i missed this post .... not to be a smart ass or anything, but seriously, what do you mean by knew the outcome in advance?

Blotto, Ya I would love for you to take a look and mark up my charts...and yes, I am trading for real. Becoming profitable on paper...ya been down that route as I explained somewhere earlier...Ive tried somewhat hard to take paper trading seriously but I don't. Plus, I dont get all tied up...

Bol, or anyone else: I just read your comments in Matcha's journal: "On a day like this... (Dow +200 to almost 300, bullish from the get go)... Forget about any idea to short. Just FORGET IT. The right mindset should be trying to look for a "bearish" moment to long. Shorts are not...

Maybe I just dont have the experience, but I do watch the TRIN and from what I have seen, (nothing really to back this up other than whats in my head), it seems when the TRIN gets way off to one range or another ie 0.2 or greater than 2.3ish...it seems it likes to come back a bit off those ends...
