Thanks SimpleMeLike. Do you know of any good (cheap also good, free even better) back-testing software or what not? Thanks!

Thanks JSOP. I think the key here would be to be watching the market like a hawk, and when it turned north, make sure you catch it as soon as it passes through the moving average so you cover (or go long) and thus miss the huge short squeeze? I think the big worry would be like an overnight...

Which moving average indicator(s) do you use Peter10, and how do you use them? Thanks!

Wowzers, panzerman, John Ehlers indicators look complex. Are you aware of any place that calculates them for you? I'd like to look at some charts with them. Thanks!

JSOP, but wouldn't a moving average indicator be one that does NOT go out the door in a black swan event? By black swan event I think you are talking about some huge, very unusual event in the market. Let's say we have a 60% decline in the market later this year. Well, if you were using a...

Turkeyd, thanks. A few questions for you. "Stock D1 trading" - what does the D1 connotate? Is this for individual stock or indexes? When you say the 9sma/21ema/50sma/200sma works great, how do you use them? "Day trading, 18sma + Envelope 18sma 0.04% and 9sma + BB 9 2.2 has been kicking...

Care to share more on how you use them lovethetrade?

Thanks! Reviewing now. Not seeing much back-testing results in those articles off hand.

Thanks Xela.

Yea, the option stuff just always looks dissapointing to me. The funds that sell options never seem to do spectacular, but then again they dont do so poorly so that you conclude the option buyers are making a killing, either. option market just seems pretty efficient.

Does anyone use these? Anyone know whether any of them produce better results than just a buy and hold? Even if normally buy and hold is better, I would bet moving average systems would produce much lower drawdowns, particularly when the market is sky high like it is now. Seems like with a...

Dang. That is terrifying. What is the blue in that chart? The NASDAQ?

i dunno, but im not coming anywhere near bonds for a good while. but that prolly means yall should margin them on the long side.

Lol i was thinking the same thing when i read that. who in their right mind would write that? crazy.

Yea, Bill Miller had that figured out.

Wowzers. It cracks me up when people say "just buy the dips". Easier said than done!!!

I've been with IB for years and years, and in general think they are great. Their commissions always seemed super low for me. But are there other brokers out there that have lower commissions, or charge less for shorting/margin? This would be for stocks/futures/options. Seems I've seen a few...

I always thought there was a little something off with that Lugar fellow. Seems nice enough, but I've never seen a single post of his that really had any real value or brought something interesting to the table. Just a bunch of nonsense rambling generally. No offence Lugar.

Both of these pictures copies showed a very large NEGATIVE overall return from selling the credit spreads, due to very big losses a few times completely crushing the smaller profits. So, if this is the case, is not the correct strategy generally to buy the credit spreads? I mean, if one is a...

What in the actual f*uk? That is just WEIRD.
