I've often wondered if there is a way to mathematically calculate the ideal period for an indicator based on how long you want to hold a position, on average. It can be done thru trial and error with backtesting, but I think it would be neat if there were some scientific theory to support a...

Heheh, my indicators seem to lag about 24-48 hours behind Romeo's! I'm bullish again too. :cool:

I suppose if you use some support level as a stop loss, your maximum % loss becomes reduced as the price approaches that level. That could be one reason to add to a losing position, but only if you are absolutely sure you would cut losses at that level.

I absolutley believe people have sadistic and masochistic sides. Sadism, crushing your enemies, your competition, beating your potential mates into submission, that's just natural. All animals do it. As civilised creatures we have taboos against that sort of behavior, but we still do it in...

Romeo, would you say the top will hold until the end of the year at the earliest? Gotta give us a specific date, or these guys will be all over you when it breaks.

And how long do you think that top will hold?

OK, I'm bearish now.

I'm still just barely bullish. :eek: Wouldn't bet any money on it, though. S&P broke support, but Dow and Nasdaq still look like they're holding up OK. But it certainly does look like I'll be bearish if we close lower tomorrow. Gotta stick your neck out once in a while to have fun on this...

Heheh, Star Trek characters would make funny traders! :cool: Kirk: "Must... cut... losses! But strange force... keeping me... from pulling... trigger!" Bones: "Dammit, Jim! You're a daytrader not an investor!" Scotty: "Cut yeeeer losses Sirrrr! She cannah handle any morrrre!"...

Well let's cut straight to the point. The big guy knows exactly what he's doing. He's not a good investor, but he's not fooling himself either, he's fooling other people and he knows it. And he's not gonna stop.

He asked a very simple question, and you are all over-analyzing it. Not that I know the answer either.

Seems like not busting the trade would be a more effective way to discourage it.

LOL, I suppose a Humvee makes your penis bigger. :p

Opened a short position yesterday morning, made a quick 25%. Pretty sweet. :cool: Haven't closed it yet though, could give a lot of that back. *shrug*

My analysis just barely puts me in the bullish camp. I think it's going up over the next week or two. But I could change my mind tomorrow. :p

Somewhat novel that they don't use price targets, though, isn't it? I find that very appealing myself. I never liked the idea of targets, the only rationale for them seems to be psychological as far as I can tell. Let your winners run.

Stage 1: Exuberance :D

Ah, they do that on purpose then? I screen for volume and volatility, but I suppose you can have the wrong kind of volatility. Anyone have any other criteria they use for intraday picks? Any excuse to troll for new ideas. :D

Just my humble little contribution... I noticed SOHU made a 50% retracement to 25 from that last (big) leg up and bounced nicely exactly like I predicted. Still looks pretty bullish I think. I don't watch other China stocks much though.
