    Why We Think The Market Should Go Down Next Week

    Good one ND- i actually meant in places besides ET but it looks like the SP has had a little viagra- will it now go back to whence it came? or will we have to call the doctor "if symptoms persist for more than 4 hours" :P

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    "At first glance, the Picasso painting; Night Fishing in Antibes, 1939 looks like a total load of rubbish!" Hmmm.. seems like you may have overlooked the obvious thing about Night Fishing in Antibes which is that it is clearly a kick ass painting ..and hardly a load of...

    SPY, XLF, IYT - charts indicate that the Bottom is IN!

    The rally looks like its running out of steam- the highs are coming in smaller and smaller on lower & lower volume. The bottom could be in, but that doesnt mean we won't get 2 months of downtrend. It's pretty stretched.. gonna take some real powerful stuff to keep it going much longer at...

    Why We Think The Market Should Go Down Next Week

    It's funny that you posted that chart- because I had drawn out that exact same ascending wedge early in the week and have been staring it for days. The bottom of that thing never broke until the last 10 minutes of trading on Friday. The S&P just kept getting crammed smaller and smaller...

    NoDoji's Day Trading Log

    Thanks for the feedback ND- I've found that waiting for the fast line to cross through the slow line provides better confirmation of a reversal, but I tend to put on the trade as soon as the fast line pivots, because my day trades look for quick smaller moves, and I can set a tighter stop...

    NoDoji's Day Trading Log

    Thanks for your reply ND- that cleared up a few things for me :) "Here's a good study for that: Look at any intraday chart and determine the initial trend that's set in the first 30 minutes of trading. (I use a 3-min chart.) For example, look at ILMN yesterday. By 10:00 a.m. the trend...

    NoDoji's Day Trading Log

    Hmm- I think I see what you are saying when you refer to a "trend" you mean a very strong single move in one direction or another, correct? not like a trending channel that has been going on all day, where it will hit the top of the channel, reach overbought and then pull back- hit the...

    NoDoji's Day Trading Log

    Hmmm.. perhaps there are a few nuggets of information there that could help me- can you elaborate on what you mean by "stochastics stop working properly in a trend" I've lost some good bread doing that exact same trade in Fas about 6 times now, and its never done what it was supposed to-...

    I'm interested in reading your eventual conclusions on stop management- as I have the same problems. I also have to stop trying to trade FAS.. that thing is just a wild animal that I don't seem to be able to catch right. During its end of day selloff today, it got into serious oversold...
