The essence of Mandelbrot's work with regard to application in the financial markets can be summarized as "phat tails." And I don't mean the chicks at the bar with big hooters neither. And yes there is applicability. Look at this week's time-price series in the equity indexes as an...

Transports have led this market higher and may be worth watching. They were weaker going into expiration as broader market held very firm.

Charlie, Peace. You are so right on this.

Word. What data are you using OEX, SPX, NDX? Front month. Differential between months. Change in contracts, etc?

Charlie Dow, Well I'm pretty sure everybody here can read!!! Good luck with your "Propietary Strategy."

Hey I'm not the one selling stuff and then digging at others strategies. The fact that you post "a cleaned up chart" now that you got called on a weak move on your part is O.K. But don't presuppose that which you do not know. That is a mark of a poor trader.

Not to be disrespectful but why did you jump on this acting like you're gonna add to the understanding of "less knowledgable traders" then refuse to contribute based on proprietary rights concerns. Give me afriggin' break. How much are your seminars?

How much do you think the expiring option profile had to do with this week's rally? Looking at the options in spx it sure seems as though all the puts in the SPX were heavily weighted below 1300. Thoughts?

Therein lies the issue with regard to understanding and profiting from the markets. There are many books, speakers, traders, programs, firms, funds, and markets in which people operate many of which may or may not be acting in the participants best interest. Therefore it is incumbant upon an...

That was 30 ES points ago. Damn. Stick to the plan man. One of these decades I'll get this sh&%t down.

Cash hit 1310 and Monday is post-expiration. Does this mean anything? Did the target get jilted by the rollover in the futures contract from march to Jun 06 and the resultant 10 point shift in premium. Is the prediction accurate and holding? Next week will tell the story. The rest is a...

I appreciate your bullish enthusiasm and except for today was bullish for a week straight. But what you probably don't know is I'm always an early short---- sort of a weakness I suppose. I admit I stopped out and I didn't reverse long but I'm just not bullish. I need to lose the opinion...

Big deal so I stopped out as the Spoos squeezed one level higher. The thing is I saw the shelf. The dom showed continued support as characterized by a lack of follow through and big orders ticking up 4 handles at a time every time it started to sink. The reason for the fade the top versus buy...

Well ES hit 1309.75. That may be all we get to the upside here folks. I'm gonna try to skim off the top if possible unless we get another strong round of buying. Basically wait for the dying pushes up and as they roll over scale in your shorts.

Google "Digital Vault" from Stomp Software. I have been very happy with their offerings.

Sorry for my ignorance. Is Henry's strategy primarily a long-term trend follower of interest rate products and currencies?

If anybody is wondering how moving averages fit into the trading plan here's what I'll often do when confronted with a day which appears one-sided like today. Get your game on first. Today the plan as outlined was long above 1282.50. Then when the market moves your way use the high as your...

20 point range last three days with a close at the 75% mark with a 15 point gain. We put in a soft bottom today at 1282. 25 point range is prettytypical for a 5 day period and yes we seem to be moving rather horizontally. Drum roll please...... My guess is high tommorrow @ 1293, low at...

The nice thing about consolidations is it doesn't matter which way it goes as long as you're with it when it breaks. The enclosed graph shows the move. It's as simple as higher lows vs. lower highs. These are just signposts. Like exit here to go South on Highway 69. But timing is...

Consolidation of Friday's move. Very little initiative trading hence the lower volume. Two responsive moves one at the end of the 45 minute opening time bracket to consolidate the range and the other a bounce off of friday's close to further consolidate the range.
