Isnt the 2 year especially possibly overdone here. Fed will say easy money continues for short term rates. Maybe they are ALL over done as those "balanced risk" funds are getting monkey hammered (ZH term) and dumping. Are they done sellimg in this pre fed pause? Small, pin prick taper...

Read my post and it sounds a little wise ass so... Brandt , as i remember , used a last day rule. His stop was at the low of the day prior to the breakout. If the breakout day was a wide range bar he would us a "last hour" stop.. His stops were tight and his targets measured. Darvas...

I enjoyed PB book and he is a professional trading many different makets/assets. The OP just posted a stock. Stocks in the SP500 breaking range to the upside has been better than a 50% bet for all but very breif, intense periods for the last 5 or so years. That doesnt mean I can play that...

Google , for example, "Zachs stock market news sep 3, 2010"

I bet most all swing traders have disected the parameters for each day of their strategy such as MAE , %profitable, avg day gain%, expectancy etc... For me, if i bought calls then i would avoid day 1 of one of my strategies because the MAE Is too high and %profitable too low. (Good avg...

In this new world of HFT algos that I read about here and elsewhere it is funny to think if there are lines of code to act on the word "Regrettably" . James Baker , 1991 speech where optimism that war could be avoided was dashed. Common market lore even appearing in one of the Market...

The timing of sharp moves down in emerging market currencies seems to correlate a little with US taper talk. India, Brazil, Turkey, Indonesia. These stock markets and currencies are making headlines. Of course each has its own issues besides US monetary policy but I read that it is a factor...

I think Ms. Williams was very good portraying Ms. Monroe and she did not look skinny at all. I have heard that many Hollywood women consume goats milk as a substantial source of " good " fats and vitamans. I wonder kind , gentle sir if you could enlightended me on a matter of question. I...

Crude up another $2.75 overnight pre-Europe , $111.75 . That is beyond a level where this "recovery" is sustainable. Does your trade idea involve crude?

I heard somewhere that 2014 US budget deficit is projected to be about 700 billion. Present rate of CB monthly purchase of treasuries is about 500 billion yearly. The bond market is saying that is not going to happen. IMHO i think data is manipulated/slanted to the up-side to support tapering...

Generate 500 random charts . Calculate the random 500 Index the same way the SP500 Index is calculated. I bet it would take a heck of a lot of these iterations to get trends similar to the sp500 over any multi year window. On a smaller scale generate 50 or so random charts and "index" them...

From Pit Bull, the chapter "champion trader", here is Schwartz describing his trading style " i was a boxer-counterpuncher.Timing was my key. Id spot an opening, hit it, and jump back. In and out, in and out, bob and weave, a point here, a point there. I didnt take wild swings, because i...

"Jeeves, Goddammit......you buttered my toast on the wrong side!" . . . "Jeeves, my good man, I must have that phone. Call his man would you.

Donate 2 ES ticks /month to Saint Jude Hospital in Boston. Cant go wrong there.

I think a correction of 10% in the SP500 would make worse hiring, consumer confidece, consumer spending, gdp and lower the cpi. US is below target cpi. That FED graph of Cpi vs Gdp scares the fed in my opinion. Gdp rolls off hard into recession as cpi decreases, hence the 2% target. I...

No, i had to google that. I was talking of a couple of methods that work ok together but not all the time. Not classic MR, not classic trend following.....and referring to the classics i can now understand your reference to the paradox. I will PM you some data.....because after all...

1a2b3cppp, I am not in a position to give advice. I know, as everone does here that you can design a simple mean reversion system and a simple trend following system. What if you cant determine/ predict market direction yet decide to trade both systems together. Swing trading that...

9gh35, Tell the board more of yourself. Those who have responded make their living from trading and are telling you what it takes. That is another world having to earn a living trading. I assume you are asking your question as an employed person with an interest in Stocks...

NoDoji, Regarding the NQ chart you posted I appreciate your posts... I must ask. Why did you not take the 1st HL setup after the 4 red bars at about 12:30. This actually followed a 1st HH. Also about 5 minutes after that setup a Ross hook or 1,2,3 pattern occured that you did not...
