The Dr. -- I feel your pain. It sounds like you need to do less thinking. You were trying to interpret what the market should do rather than just letting the market tell you what it wants to do. In my opinion, the type of data you mention is irrelevant to trading. The charts tell all.

Technically, the LP structure doesn't have any advantage over an LLC except for (1) familiarity of investors in that structure; (2) more established legal history for that structure; and (3) many old trusts that were formed long ago that may invest in a hedge fund didn't authorize investments in...

What types of Gann analysis do you use?

Well, thanks for stating the obvious. I'm looking for a little more guidance here on what has been most useful in determining the time cluster.

Anyone use the "time" component in analyzing the markets. If so, what has been most useful: Gann, Fibonacci, Cycles, Astro, other? Also, what sources of information do you recommend?

Schweser will be putting out study notes for this in the near future. This may also increase the credibility of the designation. A colleague of mine will be writing some of the study notes.

Optioncoach -- what year did you graduate from Holmdel? I was class of '85.

One of the guys I work with has the FRM and writes study materials for this designation. If you want to e-mail me, I'll see if I can get more info for you. He's having a baby today so it may take a little while for me to get you more info.

Not sure why everyone is so down on Stock Trader's Almanac (STA) which costs a fraction of what most newsletters and other services cost. It's not a complete trading system by any means but there is useful information in there, especially if you're a swing/position trader. STA was...

One other option for the future is getting Verizon's wireless broadband. It works in just about every metropolitan area and the coverage keeps expanding. I've found it to be very reliable.

Very good points. You have to really consider what your job allows you to do. For example, is there any chance of someone calling you into a meeting or being stuck on a long phone call? Your boss will love it if you reply, "be right there, right after I close out this trade." I wouldn't...

Tomcole: Are you having a bad day trading or is something else bothering you? All of your posts are on this thread are antagonistic.

Have you checked www.sentimentrader.com?

Let's not get carried away here! We're talking about a book that just came out this year and, to my knowledge, really hasn't gotten much press except on John Mauldin's web site (www.frontlinethoughts.com).

"Our Brave New World" by Charles Gave was published in 2005. This wasn't about "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley (see first post in this thread)

How can a book that just came out in 2005 be considered a classic?

Some traders/analysts, such as Connie Brown, suggest that Elliott Wave should not be used in isolation. Other indicators (e.g., oscillators, etc.) need to be incorporated to help derive the proper wave counts. I tend to agree with this view. Any of you wavers doing this?

I've used forex.com for a few months -- no problems.

Interesting stuff. I don't use Elliott Wave although I enjoy seeing other's commentary. Also interesting is that my own analysis led me to short at the same time. On the NDX, your minimum target area would also fill the gap from late November and result in a test of the 50-day moving...

I think you should disclose who you were interviewing with.
