    Beliefs That Sabotage Traders

    You probably have an uphill battle here on ET. It appears that the majority of Posters are seeking a mathematical or recognition pattern for their trading, thus permitting them to remain themselves. As we discussed on another thread, there are other pursuits in life where it is just not...

    I am glad it is all working for you Pek. As you say, it is all in the selection of the trend at the time of the %R ob/os signal. Your skills in this area far far exceed mine.

    FWIW, I can't remember a thing, even when I have written it down.

    Good on you .... the risk between your fill and your stop is one of the very few things that you have any control over ... pretty much everything else is "market play"

    Someone is making and spending money!

    Retail spending was up 4.4% whilst wages increased 1.7% in 2010. The big trick is to never talk about ALL the figures at the same time, in the same speech, and preferably not in the same week, or even the same month.

    My turn now

    What you have in play is a "carry trade". Fundamentally, the Fed hands money to the Banks who in turn buy the Indices, which in turn go up. This in turn has created a disconnect from the stocks that go to make up the Indices. How much more fundamental can it get. One day, the market...
