    Spydertrader's Jack Hershey Futures Trading Journal

    The similarity between the afternoons of November 16 and November 27 is amazing. Both times price retraced from a large leg down after which it broke out on high volume. Price then consolidates and breaks out to the downside, then price gets fanned and rapidly moves up towards the RTL, where it...

    Price just failed to traverse and is moving up on lower volume, MACD histogram is positive and the Fastline just crossed over on the Stoch 5,2,3 and took out the 50 mark. I believe that this signal is referred to as a "Bruno R" in the Equities journal. Things look pretty bullish.

    common thinking errors

    The OP listed seven common mistakes that cause market participants to enter into losing agreements. The list is valid and avoiding these mistakes is a great step towards profitability. It's a myth that someone carrying a degree in a hard science will be less prone to make those mistakes. Just...

    Black Friday Surprise equivalent to a surprise Fed cut?

    This will indeed be taken as a bullish signal but it remains to be seen how the market will price it in. I say it's not going to be equivalent to a fed descicion but it is going to drive new buyers into the market.

    Intelligent Design is not creationism

    In order for ID to be a scientific theory the designer and more importantly the process of design need to be identified. Untill that time Intelligent Design is no more able to explain how the bacterial flagellum came into existence then is the darwinian theory of evolution.

    Prison system a costly, harmful failure:

    I think your train of thought here is fascinating. You propose that crime can be detered by directing an equal crime against an identified perpetrator. The paradox is that instead of detering crime, it is perpetuated through the law. If you truely want to eliminate crime it means you will...

    Interactive Brokers Lost Estimated 25 Million In Q1 On Insider Trading Of Options

    The problem with the statistical arbitrage method the market makers use to write OTMs is that they are vulnerable to volatility. We've had a year with several large takeover announcements that created risks that could not be hedged out by their business model. Instead of admitting this flaw...

    Intelligent Design is not creationism

    I find the New Testament motif of the Living God having an experience of death to be a truely fascinating one of which the deeper implementations have been largely ignored by Christianity. Instead it seems most Christians keep each other busy by perpetuating the pagan idea that a god being...

    Consumer spending

    Analists are watching consumer spending like a hawk as it's widely considered to be a leading indicator for the general health of the economy. Inflation, growth and unemployment numbers are low which will show up in this season's consumer spending numbers. What could be a major set back is a...

    What's your time frame/average hold time for a trade?

    I suggest that any short term traders here learn how to position trade on the longer time frames as well. Overall profitability will increase if profits from a short term, highly leveraged trading style are roled over into longer term, lower leverage trades.

    common thinking errors

    Psychology 101: Lawyers are highly intelligent logical thinkers who without exception refrain from making common mistakes. Is this statement biased yes/no? - Now excuse me while I go cry myself to sleep on my little pillow for not going to law school and become God.

    Epiphany! (Laughing)

    Whether you're able to recognize the market's patterns or not is irrelevant. The fact remains that I can see what you and others are are buying or selling and by how much. From this I can generate reliable signals to reverse. I couldn't care less about the believes of my counterparties. Even...
