    Where's Lundy and his BOTTOM?

    I for one like to have an idea for the general direction of the market. Some have posted on this thread "who cares where only trading" well I am usually only day trading but DO care. I look at the weekly and daily charts to get an idea and/or probable direction for the day. This helps me...

    The Beer Report - July

    covered GENZ @ 19.30 1.33 + Did not go into the office today. Feeling sick so I got up out of bed watched this for about 45 min and then closed. Normally I would wait for the close where I expect this to be at the LOD.

    The Beer Report - July

    I use Stock Watch Pro with Qcharts. The actual signal is based on a formula that I developed. While the signal is from a daily chart the final day does have a lot of criteria that would make a 30 min chart look similar. While I am unwilling to go into the makeup of the signal I will say...

    The Beer Report - July

    Got two william signals today. GENZ and MLNM GENZ looked to be the best of the two. Shorted GENZ right during closing minutes at 20.63 First good William signal in about a week or so. This bear market has not been giving me very many William signals as I should get two or three per...

    Futures on stock

    The option will have a big advantage in one area. Limited downside risk. With a deep in the money option that has a near even delta you can get the action of a stock/future without the total risk of owning the underlining stock. Another area is leverage. While a SSF may have more leverage...

    Yeah Ok, I'll bite!! Why did you have to play poker ( doesnt sound like the worst thing to "have to do") and just to make this thread a little more interesting, "Did you win enough to "bankroll" your trading again??" Also what limits did you play and did you play at the Mirage or...

    RS7 IS on the money!! I too play poker and find the elements that go into a winning trade are the same as a winning hand. Example - If you playing Texas holdem and your dealt a pocket pair of Kinds you will bet big before the flop ( a strong setup that you take the trade). Next...

    How do you use support and resistance?

    almost all my trades come from trendlines showing s and r. I play the short at res and buy and support all the time. One of the really nice things IMHO is that you can post and capture the spread going into the trade. I also buy and sell breakouts if qualified and fade breakouts if the...

    The Beer Report - July

    Good questions. I pay 1 cent per trade to IB so that brings the net down to .09 cents a share in the good. that pays the broker bill. As far as making a living I dont intend at this time to make a living from trading. I work full time running a business and trade part/full time depending...

    Going to hell in a hand basket

    There sure is a lot of reasons to trade the NYSE especially in the open, or maybe for short selling. Other than that I think you give to much of an advantage up in many of the lower volume issues IMHO.

    the trend is up, market has bottomed.

    Lundy, Very good post and your correct that you should be able to post what your signal is telling you. While I dont know if your correct or wrong as I dont know or care if the markets going up tomorrow or down ( i am usually flat at the end of the day) I do know that people should still be...
