No it's Mr. Roboto

Might I ask are you shorting the trip down to 1270?

I have been thinking a lot about the fact that the absolute fastest, most powerful computer on the planet for trading is the human mind. The only problem with it, is that it is infected with the "emotion" virus that makes it not quite as good as it should be for trading. You could try and build...

When they start producing the Yugo again it's time to short everything and head to the hills.

Yep these are one of the types of setups I love to see. I have modified your chart to show you how I view it. When you see the price being wedged into a pennant it is going to have to make a choice of which line to break. Once one of those lines is broken it usually means continuation in the...

Here is one I posted on Thursday, preparing for ta break out on either of the downtrending line signaling a bullish entry or a breakout below the uptrending line signaling a bearish signal. On Firday SPY broke it's short term uptrend signaling my entry. I picked up some 140 puts in the morning...

See that I didn't know. I can't see IB as an ECN though so wouldn't that make them a dealing desk making them want to screw their customers?

While I am not a FX trader I have heard that with FX brokers you want to look for honesty and integrity as a higher priority over the smallest spreads. Remember your broker has to take the other side of every trade you make so if you are making money they are losing it. Supposedly, this makes...

That sums this thread up perfectly. So in addition to market prediction you are now claiming to predict natural disasters and/or terrorist attacks? Fuck are you related to Nostradamus?

I use trend line and feel that they definitely work. Now I don't think they work for some super scientific reason. They are probably more a self-fulfilling prophesy that since so many people look at them and assume they work that it in turn causes them to work. I don't really care, I use them...

Bloomberg has both: <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/ecal">Bloomberg Earnings</a> <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/markets/ecalendar/index.html">Bloomberg Financial Calendar</a> If you trade Options this page has an Adobe PDF Options Expiration Calender to print out. It also has...

I agree. Based on the charts I was showing in other threads the SPY finally broke it's short term uptrend today. I went in with some 140 strike June puts. I am looking for it to head down to about 131 over the next couple of days at which point I will get out and look for some retracement. I...

Don't forget MER has earnings this coming week as well. Based on what BSC and LEH earnings looked like this could bring more downside.

With some brokers yes.

Yes it was late and I didn't double check myself. Here are the correct numbers:

I must apologize it was my mistake. When I made the original post it was late and I did the calculations in a hurry. Then when I reposted it did not double check my math. Here is how it should have been written: I think what I did that night was subtracted the Theta from the Delta instead of...

Could be, but it still hasn't broken it's downward longer term trend yet. Nor has it proved to be continuing the down trend. It is at the crossroads and any speculation on which trend it will follow at this point is just that...pure speculation. Smart money would wait a few more days for one of...

Here, I have marked up your own chart. It shows the consolidation into the same corner I was showing. The market will soon have to make a decision. To break it's longer term downtrend and follow the shorter up trend OR to break it's shorter term uptrend and continue to follow the down trend...

The easy way is to download a free P/L tool such as <a href="http://www.samoasky.com/">www.samoasky.com/</a> and play with it a bit. To really understand it better here is some info I posted in another thread: ------------------------------------------------ To really understand what will...

Here is a 6mo chart I posted 4 days ago (Mon April 7th) of SPY and I said then that you don't know which direction it will go until it breaks out of the box I have drawn on it. <img src="http://www.fantasydaytraders.com/eqpics/SP6mo.jpg"> Here we are today, still in the box. It will most...
