I dumped my put, puked (not really), and swore to stick with futures for market movements from now on. I really wanted to get out Sunday around 6pm.

I was kinda saying the opposite, that things have changed since September.

Turning over? Bought an OEX 520 / 27 Nov PUT a few minutes ago. Now that's a divergence! I've also noticed most of the stocks I've written options on have gotten whacked the past week or two, despite the market high a few days ago.

Dear naive ones, here's how it works: the lady sends out 10 resumes a day to jobs she is not qualified for (since spring 2008), so the employers must to turn her down and her benefits continue. This way she doesn't have to take the $10/hr admin support job until her benefits end.

Quoting from the paper: Good thing I didn't read this in the morning, I woulda spit my coffee all over the monitor...

Kudos to makloda for the succinct and authoritative dismissal of this "research" only 16 minutes after it was posted!

Ah, the eternal thread. We need to start some sidebets on these. Possibilities: (1) Troll Trifecta-- pick the order of appearance of the first three TA-dissing trolls (2) "Pick the page" number-- a. before digressing into personal attacks b. when thread morphs into random walk...

time frame-->I've seen these effects in almost every time frame (>1 min bars) do I use this in trading--> yes, sometimes I use pieces of the price/volume story in a trading methodology. See the old "tradin' hammers" thread for an example.

Zanek, you are in "stage 2" of learning to trade. It is still a losing stage so I suggest you trade the smallest amount of real money possible in each transaction. You can get to stage 3 by writing down specific entry and exit rules. (You may think you have that now, but they are not...

NAKED put writing means you write a put and do not have the cash to buy the stock if the put is exercised. I write puts in my IB IRA all the time. You have to have sufficient cash to cover the exercise and they lock the cash up as long as your position is open. So if a broker lets...

Look like it's still a pretty healthy rally to me. I would start to look for a major decline or long term trend reversal if we continued to hit highs but fewer and fewer stocks hit 52-week highs. Here's how I have used this information so far: I have been trading an accumulation strategy...

Well, I regret not having updated this thread in 7 months, but here is the current situation:

The fact that a dividend will be paid in the future increases the demand for the stock, all else being equal. I think then it makes sense theoretically for the calls to be worth a little more and the puts a little less. Whether the difference would ever be 0.01, I have no idea.

I never thought I would disagree with NihabaAshi, who I admit is a far more accomplished trader than I am. There are plenty of simple methodologies that make money where the entry signal is price enters or breaks out of a s/r zone. I have developed a few myself. It's not really a big...

Besides not explaining what you get if you take the trouble to compute E, or how to use it, your formula has us adding "2" which is dimensionless to time, which has dimension. This means I can make E anything I want, from which I infer it is useless.

I don't see what Elliot Wave has to do with this. If you study and use patterns (read Bulkowski) you know there are little things that can happen, which have nothing to do with trading them profitably. Anyway, this thread is fine. If you have some specific statistics compiled on H&S patterns...

Remember when Amazon patented 1-click ordering? or something like that...

My charts are not updating today (4/9). It's showing the current prices for everything, but the charts end on 4/8. I am drawing 1-wk charts with 30 min bars. Same problem if I switch to a shorter time frame. Same problem in both paper-trade and real $ accounts. Help!

What's funny is OP registered in 2003.

OP, in my opinion you need to reconsider the current relevance of the 2003 levels.
