Blue, the problem is that the markets almost always overshoot. It happened in 2000, 2003 and maybe now. Ask yourself if you would not have been feeling the same way about the market in 1999; you had to wait a full year for the peak.

Doji? You are a bit early. Don't forget about fund capital deployment and shorts covering ahead of merger monday.

Hi Frosty, I noticed on your first day, Nov 14, that you had a good day. That day was also a trend day for the most part but it was an uptrend that day and it started at 10:30 after the mkt gapped up at first and traded down to unch before the steady rally began. To what do you attrinute the...

What does that have to do with wanting your money back? "Growing up" means forgetting money you were screwed out of? The guy has a right to want to know the answer.

No profit made on doorbusters.

You highlighted but you have not said anything. It would be great for all and most welcome by me if you said what you meant to say and saved the winks and riddles for another place. Do you mean to imply that you think that the direction of the monthly trend is an important factor in daytrading...

If you are doing position trading than I would obviously definitely agree that the trend on the monthly chart as you have shown should be taken into consideration. For daytrading systems I'm inclined to say that this is having little impact on any possible curve-fitting. I also think that any...

This is a poll for System traders who run their systems on a broad base of stocks both listed (NYSE) and un-listed (Nasdaq). Are your long term per share numbers higher on NYSE, Nasdaq or both about the same? Feel free to comment on your thoughts of why your results are as they are, and if...

Yes, we need a radical major confrontation or the US will cease to exist as we know it in within next 50 years.

This looks about right because too many were trumpeting the statistic of 80% of Friday's after Thanksgiving being an up day. I'd say there is 0% chance of that now, and the selling will probably have follow through since it will catch many by surprise in the morning. Yes, it's different this time.

The spin has already begun: Nov. 20 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. economy will pick up steam early next year after growing at the slowest pace since 2003 last quarter, the index of leading indicators is likely to show today. ``By the first quarter, it will be clear that the economy is...

Curious - what are you upgrading to?

Wall St will wake up to another two big takeovers and probably shrug off the asian sell-off.

This is a good strategy for people who like to sleep late ;) What do you do when the mkt is already outside of your range at 2 pm?

You call that a huge move? It looks pretty common to me. Are you a complacent bull who is panicing?

Hey, those trades only exist in dreams since you left. Who are you, Fiedler? No, guess not, he was around at the end. Well anyway, good thing you left before Walter and the clan "borrowed" your money.
