Here's what I'm looking at for Thursday. My charts are telling me that the markets in general, will be on the upswing for one to three days. My crystal ball generally doesn't see much farther than a few days. Because of this, I'm looking at taking on a long position. BTW, I monitor a...

Hey all, I'm an Engineer in a Podunk town in the South. I'm a quant with a wry sense of humor. I think I made a career mistake by not going into business/finance as a career. I've followed markets since I was a little kid, starting with silver and gold prices which were posted next to the...

To the OP: I swing trade stocks and ETFs. I have a yahoogroup dedicated to collaborating. The problem is that even though I have a few of my buddies signed up, me and one other guy are the only posters there. But we're making money. I think we need a couplemore guys there to ferret out...

Well I can attest that "noise" was tripping me up. It wasn't until I started looking for a "solid move" in the markets before entry that I started making more money again. I have a theory that a lot of newbies following T.A. have beginners luck because they haven't refined their charts. Then...

You got that right. Came back here to eat a little crow and see you've already dished it up for me. Ah well. This is the problem with T.A....it doesn't account for news. This morning, my charts called for a textbook drop. Now they are hazy to up. If this is "noise" it's too "loud" for my...

Today is a bulltrap. Just because I said so. SM

Well my name is Smart Money and I'm a bear! Right now there isn't a lot of good news relative to the bad news and the market seems a little overbought considering the underlying weakness in the economy. SM

I'm betting that's in the cards. The "good news" practically wiped out any trace of the bad news. But the bailout is expensive, and curtails production in the future. Someone will eventually figure that out.

There's a lesson here. As a noob, I was making money fast. Then I started "refining" and "supplementing", and started getting my butt kicked. Now I've reduced to just a handful of simple rules and it's working again. I think keeping it simple is the key to winning...I really believe...

I'm finding this true. I've realized that with T.A., fast moving volatile instruments move too quickly for me to monitor effectively. And, I am more patient when it reverses (temporary or otherwise) because a slower moving instrument takes time to do real damage. I'm liking slow moving...

Hey, I'm not kidding here. The "photo" of the factory looks like a drawing. Reminds me of Norman Rockwell. I keep waiting for a the copy sharing a donut with a kid to show up...or Santa Claus.

Not me. Looks like the market is clawing its way up that phantom drop.

Thats what I was wondering...that was odd.

How do you know that, Traderzones?

Thanks. I'll read up on this. I skimmed it and wasn't real clear on what you have to do if you don't trade too often. Can you stay in compliance with like 3 or 4 trades a day? SM

Yeah...I don't hold them long. Thanks

If I had $210K in an account. And I decided to keep $110K in cash at all times...how often could I trade leveraged ETFs with the remaining $100K. Once a day? Once every 3 days? Also, if I was trying to trade a stock...like Ford (F), could I just trade as often as I wanted to? Thanks...

You da man!

Awesome. It seems to correlate pretty well. Is there a short version? A leveraged inverse of BGU? Thanks again, SM

Does anyone know of a ETF for the Dow or the S&P 500 that is leveraged 3:1? Thanks, SM
