Rules... http://www.investorsintelligence.com/x/gadas0707.html?gclid=CKej7ZSw9aUCFSBugwodqGZ3pA Who else here follows this indicator? If we can only get a spike down to a -10 or under within the next couple months we will be able to set up for an actual rally again... There just isn't...

That's really easy for most traders who know their stuff. If your trading a small part of your equity there is no emotion so you really can't lose a trade unless you try. It's the emotion that gets people.

Review of the 15m-Hourly chart... Picked the wrong top to exit Trades because of bad tick data... Should been the next 15m exit signal, not the first set... Meh.

Yea... My $Tick data was way off... Just cross checked with FSC data. The broad market trend actually confirmed that move. Was no reason to take it off so soon. I should consider watching more data feeds... Getting totally incorrect market stats data occurs far too often... Comical... My...

For some reason my market stats data feed went bad today... When I look at the $Tick I am like... "Wtf, is the market crashing?" Then I look at price and am like "Hmmm... Eh, pattern looks normal." Not sure whats going on... That decision to cut longs above 1320 was based somewhat upon...

Will probably re-establish long position if there is a straight market drop of 25-30 points from todays highs without any bounce... Within the same daily sell cycle. Or after a bounce to 1340-50 then new lows vs this swing again with a new daily cycle signal. If the market can't find any real...

My real positions in futures last for less than five minutes on average... And I wont reveal any of my swing positions because that increases trade emotion. Best to keep your real positions in the market secret.

Closing out positions on push above 1320. Slight profit on the Aug 131 Calls. $4.28 / Limit. The odds of seeing the SPX through yesterdays gap today to around 1335 are declining because too much time is passing... I had my support/resistance entry levels calculated out incorrectly yesterday...

America has a big ego and huge overconfidence. The rest of the world buys our front... For now... But, that is starting to change.

Some people go down to fifteen second bars... I find it unnecessary for the ES... 1m does just fine. Honestly the bars are not that important... Just the cycle pattern and the price levels are all that matters. Sometimes trades last 1 minute... Sometimes five minutes for short term ES...

...in a few years... But it's not all that bad. Honestly I couldn't care less. Countries always go through long term economic cycles like this. As Bernanke prints more money to stabilize the system crisis after crisis over the next few years the standard of living will go downward steadily...

SPY Aug 12 131.00 call purchased. $3.96 / Market Target price area > 1340. Time for trade to perform > Wednesday afternoon. Trade Conviction > Low Conviction. Lower odds long trade than I would ever take with real $$... But, it's the only thing I see this week so far. Upside of...

Were within the buying price range... 1300-1315. I'm looking to tomorrow morning as the swing point though. Little too much downward momentum on this move... A Low Conviction long needs to be timed perfect, because if it isn't it will be stuck for another 100 point drop once Merkel opens...

I got a hunch it's going to be a wild week... Not placing any non-virtual swing positions this week because I got a bad feeling Angela Merkel is going to send global markets into a major tailspin on Thursday as she and Germany stubbornly hold their ground against buying up Italy and Spain's...

Oh, and as another note... It's bad practice to chart a derivative... The SPY ETF is derived from the S&P 500... It's an instrument that algo's keep in sync with the SPX and EMinis if prices happen to be out of sync by enough to make a possible profit by moving in to bid up mispricings in...

If you go back through the data of any of the feeds... TDA, ThinkOrSwim, FreeStockCharts, OptionsHouse, etc etc etc... You will find errors here and there... In all of them. There are a few professional quality feeds offered from places like DTN and etc... But for clean quality feeds your...

So there is a glitch occurring in the system because of the massive volume of the SPY? That is ridiculous that they don't have that fixed if that is the case...

Anyone ever solved exactly what is up with the spy? I have always charted the SPX because the spy just acts whack... Are those noisy spikes actually trades occurring far away from price or is there something funky with the spy data feed? It has been the same way for years... Anyone who has...

I decided to start a journal with my OptionsHouse virtual account for pure entertainment. :D Please no trolls. First trade entry will be a light low conviction long entered midday Monday or early Tuesday. I will post when the virtual trade is made. Expected SPX price at trade 1300-1315...

... He would be rushing to kick start a new QE program asap... This if the only perfect 5th wave market crash setup visible since the crash of 1987... The only thing that can save the markets is the fed... They always get complacent after a rise though... Just like the .com bust and the...
