    Black Monday: Nuclear Meltdown in Japan

    I think the American media are downplaying the event. If you don't like 24/7 news and repetition of the most important story, don't watch 24/7 news. But what they are actually saying in their coverage, especially on CNN, is very low key considering the actual danger from those 5 nuclear...

    My theory why stocks went up.

    the market went up because this event makes QE3 more likely. Inflation is driving the market up. When that bubble bursts, no amount of increased business to GM because Toyota was offline for a few days is going to counteract it.

    Nuclear Meltdown Trade

    I'm a japanese american you douche. And if trading on news events to protect one's portfolio is immoral in your view, why are you on these boards. Go join a commune or live out in the woods or something. Speculation and hedges are part of capitalism, and ignoring major news as a moral...

    Black Monday: Nuclear Meltdown in Japan

    Rabbit, The media are saying "radiation levels are dropping" and "10km from a meltdown is safe". They're saying there's no meltdown and putting "experts" up there saying the cesium being released is no big deal. They're downplaying it to prevent panic in Japan and cover up for government...

    Nuclear Meltdown Trade

    They aren't fully reporting it and the government and media are still lying to people (which they always do in these situations), telling them 10km or 20km evacuations are safe, and there has not been a meltdown yet, etc. But at least one of those plants IS in meltdown, and the others are...

    FOMC Decision Plays?

    Rate increase or hold will be in less than 30 minutes. What is your play here? USD/JPY looks very overbought on the RSI... thinking perhaps there is more priced in expectation of a rate increase than the talking heads are predicting. Could this be wound up for a big drop? on the other...

    Ivan's Trade Thread

    what a USD/JPY roller coaster. There is a lot of conviction on both sides of this trade, and we're getting back close to that trendline support on the 60 minute chart. I'm starting to look at 108.3 range as a pivot. Tomorrow's non-farm payroll numbers will probably not be dollar positive...

    Ivan's Trade Thread

    The rebound down in the Euro looks a bit overdone relative to the Yen. This looks like a good set up to buy some Euro's. Stops in around 1.5620 area and targets around 1.5690

    Ivan's Trade Thread

    Well, the Europeans started buying dollars at the 100 hour moving average last night, so my targets didn't hit and I woke up this morning down about 2%, but oil is still high and just about everyone in the country lost their job last month it appears. Took profits worth 5% of my stake on...

    Ivan's Trade Thread

    I like the USD/JPY shorts going into the European session. That strong oil is not going to lose steam overnight here, and the S&P looks bearish for open in NY tomorrow. The USD/JPY shorts held on and there was no panic covering, they'll be adding to positions today. This little bull run...

    McCain = bullish, Obama = bearish for stocks?

    both bearish in my view... except for Chinese stocks, for which both will be very helpful as rabid free traders seeking to transfer American capital investment abroad.

    Anti-Globalization Will "Eat Our Lunch"

    That IBD article is a bit humorous. http://www.ibdeditorial.com/IBDArticles.aspx?id=302138403720589 First the globalists/"free traders" told us that trade deficits were GOOD because (as one otherwise intelligent economist put it) "we give them nothing but 'paper' and they give us cheap...

    Anti-Globalization Will "Eat Our Lunch"

    I'm pretty certain that it was a White House economist making that suggestion.

    Heard any rumors about Mexico devaluing its currency before the year-end?

    I guess the millions of jobs that flew to Mexico after NAFTA wasn't a big enough wealth grab, they have to have more. I can tell you this much, there won't be a North American Union or Amero unless the suffering is much worse here in the United States.

    Stops - Do you trail them?

    I'm with him on this one. Before the market turns and hits your trailing stop (unless it's tighter than Lindsay Lohan's jeans) you will have a technical signal to exit the trade at a higher profit. look for the technical exit point.

    Best Chart Provider

    What is the best chart provider (lowest cost, most features) for what I'm looking to do? I want to be able to input any SMA timescales I want, and MACD also. I want to be able to draw trend lines, and move around the chart ("drag the chart") anywhere I want. I need to have multiple windows...

    Simple Strategy, Looking For Comments To Improve

    Without crunching numbers but looking at your suggestion side by side on my esignal charts, it looks to me like using the 60 minute chart would create fewer losers and far smaller winners, as it is WAY behind (as you would expect) in predicting a change, and really only works on a continuation...
