Seriously, it takes two to fight. Good users post content, and I will delete the rest. Do not respond to childish behavior. Using the complain button helps me a lot to identify particular posts.

Around that time my dad called me a told me that he didn't think the current slide of oil prices (down to $12/barrel) was overdone and I should get in some drilling stocks. I did (I didn't start day trading till a few years later). A little while later I remember watching CNBC hearing an...

Do not multiple post

Thanks for the link, I like to read about this stuff now and then. For trading, keeping to price and volume alone works for me. Sometimes I get curious about what might be going on (like yesterday), but I don't trade off of it. I think today was a great example. I had no idea about this...

Well that was ugly. I managed to get out at 360.

Yes, I am retarded, Corn closes at 13:15. I am trading the July. For some reason, I didn't think the electronic was supposed to close until 16:00 CST. It is dark from 13:15 to 18:30; then again from 6:00 to 9:30.

I shorted corn (ZC) yesterday (small loss) and today (good so far) (see attached chart for motivation) and it looks like they just halted trading. :eek: Anyone know what's up? Is it locked limit - down?

Start a new one and "complain" faster, to keep it from getting out of hand. Deleting a few posts is easy.. but once the cancer spreads.... I need your help cutting down the weeds and picking up the trash on the side of the road. I unfortunately can't be sitting on the message boards 24/7...

I'm still waiting to see a study that shows an uptrend on decreasing volume is somehow a sign of a top.

It got out of control-- too much profanity, personal attacks, etc.

Hello ET'ers, let's feature this thread for a while. It is not TA per se, but is intimately related in my opinion, because the numbers that go into finding RoR come from TA (my definition of TA = analyzing historical data for the purpose of estimating probabilities and other quantities...

For those of you who do some TA research "by hand"... for example, moving through charts and recording prices in a spreadsheet (either by printing out charts or doing it on the screen)... What software are you using? What features about it do you like? Dislike? Traditionally, I have used...

Howdy folks, I'm doing a little reasearch on past IPOs. I would like to get a list of symbols from the NASDAQ that started trading in a given calendar year (say, all 2005 IPOs). I need some help with this. Hopefully, this information exists in canned form somewhere because the only...

Thanks smiling for sharing this. Question, how did buying strength compare to random entries? P.S. I like how you test your entries, I do sort of the same thing. I believe it is extremely important to test entries alone, and find good ones, before proceeding with the rest of the methodology...

And then there are us officers who remain in the IRR until we resign our commission. I have been off active duty since 2000 and have not resigned it. The IRR is a good thing. After Iran nukes us, i'm sure those of us remaining will all get called up at once. We'll be able to have a large...

If anyone is interested in keeping this thread located in the TA board, please post technical analysis. In fact, since its title is "Trend Following Delusion Shattered," please post data and analysis that will shatter my delusion. Thanks!

The Mathematics of Technical Analysis by Sherry. IMO, before you apply any sort of TA, you need to make sure you've picked something to trade where the TA actually might work. This book will show you how. It is poorly formatted, but the message is good.

I trade from home, but am interested in checking out some shops in town, if anyone has some info or contact numbers. Thx Pete

Well, that's two people wanting to get together (sort of). Couple more and I'll set something up. Pete

If there is interest for a weekend meeting, I will set one up. Pete
