    housing crash

    Oldtrader, If you see it "no comparison" and see the whole thing so "clearly" I guess Zen is correct about your perspective. It will be interesting to see our perspectives develop over the next decade.

    housing crash

    OldTrader, I would be interested to know why you see housing (a market) and the stock market as being fundementally different. Having been thru a couple of exuberances and crashes in both markets now I see them as very similar ... not exactly the same but very similar. Let me put up a...

    housing crash

    It will be interesting, Easter 2006, to see who was right. Steve, Oneway didnt say that they were losing tenants, he said that they were selling the assets, which is very different. Do remember that someone else is buying them. If it turns out to be teachers and firemen's unions then...

    trend following delusion shattered

    Well done Surfer. This has exceeded my efforts on Woodie threads. But what a lot of rubbish some people submit. :)

    trend following delusion shattered

    No its not. Most people who attempt to follow trends blow up because they fail to be able to implement the classical advice. They dont cut their losses short (or they cut them too short) or they don't let their winners run. In other words they fail to follow the trend.

    trend following delusion shattered

    Hank, I could with microtrends on the hsi (which is what i trade) but to do so would reveal my strategy and I am not willing to do so. And I am not willing to do the maths to prove it ... but its there. LOL ... so those who cant argue about it ... and those who can trade it. I am sure I...

    Ensign why do some pro's like it?

    The IB feed is a pretty accurate summary of what happens but occasionally misses data. I have also had a stop hit that I didnt see on the feed and asked about it. IB sent me an image of the actual time and sales for the period and there I was ... providing someone with a gift :-) So it is...

    Nah. Way too grumpy to be a woman. Hmmm. Did I really say that?

    Ensign why do some pro's like it?

    I guess someone has to point out some issues :) I used it for about 4 months and liked it. I especially liked the range of drawing tools. After 4 months I went back to SeirraChart ($7 per month and also works with your IB data feed). Why? 1) I dislike the way that ensign builds charts...

    Trading Woodie's CCI ;-)

    He developed (although this was called into question recently) a way of using it that was different to the developers intent. Then he started teaching a few people about it in paltalk. It has spiralled from there Surfer.

    Your welcome. Andy, look it up. You might find you can avoid most of the choppy phase.

    Trading Woodie's CCI ;-)

    Alipang. I am curious. Are you still in his room? The reason I ask is that when I left after about 18 months after we argued about the esignal issue I was almost the longest lived member there. Virtually all the significant members who were there when I started had gone. R7 was still...

    Trading Woodie's CCI ;-)

    Not really wanting to defend Woodie specifically (after all he did ban me from Daves site ... grrr ... lol) but everyone here is right about their own bit of the truth. Most who really make the CCI work use it as a fast (because its price vs sma) reject from zero in a trend. This is the zlr...

    Trading Woodie's CCI ;-)

    Yep. I have to agree. If it wasn't working for me. And then it still wasn't working for me. Would I write about it. Hmmm. Isn't one of the facetious definitions of insanity to keep doing the same thing and expect that the outcome will change? Best wishes for your future trading :)...

    MedVed QuoteTracker Software

    Agreed. I have used all 3 and find they have slightly different fits to different traders needs.

    IQ and trading

    The reasons can be found in nothing more complicated than recent US studies that show that promotion comes not to those who are good but to those who make their bosses feel good. Kinda sad that the comics were always right.

    I LOVE the HSI futs!

    LaSalle, You are correct about the cash. You will collect a positive or negative balance as you trade and then use currency conversion to convert HKD back to your standard currency. Aren't the HKD numbers exciting :)

    tampa's Revenge

    Despite what db would suggest I have found support and resistance both at channels and at moving averages. Some may be able to visualise it without the ma or the cci present but I confess to weakness here Roberk. :)
