Dogs that bark do not bite. He cannot do a thing, and even if he could he would not do a thing, because he does not have the b...s.

Bear markets are something that can be very ugly, and have impacts not only on wall street, but also on main street. Fund managers surely hate them.

How long will it be before a revisit of the current all time highs?

The interest rate environment is similar to the 60's. Any charts that attempt a similar exercise to a year from the 60s? A 17% correction would be in line with the current levels of the vix.

The poster who was replied to seems to me to be rather a very good thinker even on an absolute scale. On a relative scale, his thinking could be graded in two ways: by increasing the grade of his thinking, or by lowering the grade of the thinking of a person he could be compared to, or a...

What is uncertain to a market observer could be just something irregular (from the point of view of the market).

:-)

Thanks toyou (and to Jeff) for sharing! I also wish you that your account continues to rise nicely, and that one day you could see an M replacing a K.

If I understand the main point of your post correctly, the "analysis" is pointing to the same point as yours. You may want to reread. Congrats to you if you are top of class. In trading being top of class is not enough. There are many other necessary conditions. Their list may not even be of...

What I wrote is about the MEDIAN small trader, which is a statistic and not a physical person. The median does not do compounding, because stats tell us it is what it is. 256 days is meant to compute upper bounds on earnings. The reality is that people take time off, holidays, get ill, lose...

Small traders have a median trading volume of 20 contracts or less per day on e-mini, which is about 1 million per day. 25 basis points per day is considered top of class. Thus, the top of class of the median would make around 600K at best with 256 trading days. Those who dream about...

Maybe because they lost money, and to get it back they had to learn.

Today's price behavior on NFLX looks different than recent days. I also liked the charts that Jeff posted. If it is ok that he posts more of his chart observations , I like to read them.

Do you look at implied volatility? With recent sell off, it is/should be high on indices, and should fall if there is a rally. How do you deal with that if the same happens to options on individual stocks? Also, what would be the top stocks you would be watching? Maybe sharing them can get...

What do you think are the top five stocks for a rally?

SPY broke yesterday's high. Trading on long side should be less difficult than on the short side.

The question is not if a level will hold, but will the market get to that level, because the question of whether a level will hold can be done with less difficulty after the market visits and holds at that level. So the question for the long side, is to know the important levels, and wait for...

NZD/USD is now at 0.7254. End of this paper trade. Good luck with your journals. PS: Buyers could be at 0.7248, where it is now.

Did you consider holding a trade for at least 3.25hours? Is it possible you are overtrading?

If I had started this thread, I would have used No 1 insight rather than No 1 Secret. In trading I would say that bars generally get taller as a move progresses. An implication of this is that trading is one the rare areas where being late could be better than being early. There are other...
