    Perfect Wave - 2012-1/2

    I recall Paul Tudor Jones quoted as saying EW allows him to find setups with high reward to risk. He also said that Bob Prechter was one of his favorite analysts. :eek: Granted, this was in Market Wizards 1, from the early 90s.

    Swing Trading is the Holy Grail

    Either that or he's sitting out the falling market.

    Are you addicted to trading?

    I believe addiction = harmful compulsion that can not be stopped without serious pain. Obsession = captivating fixation on something. So if you can take a break from trading, or stop when your equity curve falls below your risk limit, it's probably just a safe obsession. :)

    If break rules and earn profit?

    One way of making rules is by p/l analysis of their effect on your account during past market behavior. If the market has changed, rules may need to be changed. If the market has not changed but you have, same. If the market has not changed and neither have you, perhaps it's not the...

    Catching Tails

    Greetings. No wild updates or equity swings to report. I'm still out of the market because the only opportunity has been countertrend (short) and I'm just not in the mood to try to pick off retracements. This is a good example of why I have chosen the third wave breakout trading method...

    Who's Your Discount Broker?

    I was a tradeking user for a couple years. I had no problems (other than my lack of risk mangement) :)

    I sense a rally in the market

    I'm expecting it to go up, simply because the market "broke support", according to the news headlines - sell signal for old school TA / trend following traders.

    Blowing Up

    I believe Blowingup was posting pictures of Caption Obvious when harping on his bullish opinion of gold. Maybe "the obvious" is not so obvious after all!

    I'm not ashamed of underperforming your superior system.

    Catching Tails

    After some light investigation, it seems what's driving the move is a pending FDA approval (or popular speculation thereof) of their drug. Evidently it treats low testosterone with oral methods. :eek: Look at the momentum divergence. Even a classic range expansion, right out of trend...

    Catching Tails

    I've been sitting it out this week because I haven't found any good tail prospects. However, I found this curious tail forming on the top gainers last Friday. I didn't touch it because my mind was on work, but after doing a wave analysis, I think it might be worth watching. We've got...

    It's not "practice, practice, practice" but deliberate practice

    I suspect he flogs unsuspecting victims with random accusations, hoping they will "prove" him wrong by posting their code. If I gave him the four lines behind some of my small cap stalkers, I doubt he'd even thank me! :D

    Jack Hershey method. The only other thing that comes close is price physics.

    System that turns itself off when conditions aren't favorable

    Indeed, it is. It's called equity curve trading. :)
