This is the same essence as seeing identifyable formations in tea leaves. James Randi would have a field day with this: If something has to be interpreted accurately after the fact, it doesn't hold much predictive value, sorry. Clear as hindsight. Oh! it is hindsight. That's not accurate. It...

I'm playing with the box it came in. :p

estrader: If you think that your long setups/signals offer you better probabilities on getting into winning short trades, and vice versa, there's no one stopping you from backtesting the idea. In backtesting, though, you're going to discover that you don't get the "opposite" outcome you...

It follows my theory that the bigger power picks on the lesser power. In that you can see the pecking order. Underlying all that, it has to do with money and power: who can pick who's pocket and keep everyone under that in tow. In this case, Maria is the lesser power, while whoever or whatever...

The thing about a short squeeze is that the reason behind the issue moving up is not because of the shorts scrambling to cover. The shorts scrambling to cover is the fuel that makes it rise faster and bigger, but they have to cover because some event made the issue gain long. So, at the close or...

"You can also beat the system by taking profits shy of the 1 for 1 in poor market conditions (e.g. when things are reversing)" Please, more detail.

I'm not here to stick up for anyone mind you, but just to add a point about book prices, having authored a book myself (though not in this field): that the publisher not only sets the retail price (usually based on what books of that type typically go for in the stores), but the publisher's...

Just sitting there at 11.10, the precipice of it's EMA(200), for the last hour, taking a nap. What's up with that?

Walther, what you describe sounds similar to a Gann cycle of sorts. What would be the difference between yours and that method that you think makes the difference?

Following up on your suspicion, in "Investment Secrets of a Hedge Fund Manager" by Connors & Hayword, the preface states, "A publisher of a major financial publishing house told us that more than 90 percent of the trading books on the market today are written by individuals who do not trade for...

Since the price may transgress your stop several times throughout the day, but you determine the ma violation as to the price's close, and you trade based on the daily, my question is, when in the day do you determine that indeed you are to stop out? For example, is it in the last 20 minutes of...

bubba7: when asked speficially about what indicator you're referencing in the book, you quote nkhoi's post, but as nkhoi's post references both the volatilty system and the Vix indicator, which one exactly are you alluding to in your posts as the Connors-Haywad indicator: their volatility...

The Chinese are relatively much healthier to Americans, less obesity, less cardiac and cancer problems. They eat red meat, not as a main portion of their meal, but in small bits to flavor the meal. (Don't confuse "chinese food" with chinese food.) Compare that to areas where the meal centers...

Some credentials working in the field and a very good publicist and a very good agent. You wouldn't be able to be published at some major publishers if you don't have your submission come in through an agent. Very good publicists are hard to find, most of them, if not all of them, are idiots and...

I have a diet I invented years ago that does the trick too. On this diet, you can eat whatever you want, as much as you want, whenever you want. You can even eat more than you're eating nowadays if you want to. No kidding. But every 3 months or so, you have to go out and buy yourself some new...

Many people have stones and pass them never knowing it. If the stones get big, or jagged, then you know it, like you found out. You may have gotten kidney stones at that time because of the overabundance of protein and oxylates (just about everything has oxylates in them. A small part oxylate is...

I trade 2 systems. One is a volatility BO, the other a retracement to last low congested price area. So I may be in after but near the start of greater movement. I trade on a daily basis rather than intraday. I don't use targets but I do use a couple of exits that make sense for the type of...

Which shows that it is about the Political and not the Economic. And those senators have great retirement plans and healthcare, don't they? They made sure to vote that into existence for themselves. You can expect the AARP 'hissy fits' to get louder as senior Americans become the majority...

Hmmm. So he didn't come up with an answer on the spot. Doesn't preclude him or his staff from coming up with an answer tomorrow or next week to offer congress on what they can do. But suppose he had a ready, snappy, informative answer. You think if he gave them specific instructions on what to...
