Would this be the royal we or the scrotum we?

A while back someone asked about the possibility of 'dummy' entries for swing trades. Here's a good illustration of that: Notice how EXPD is going sideways at a time when the general market proxies are falling (August to October). Very good RS! Also notice the long term MA is almost perfectly...

I think its obvious that if you can achieve a certain state once, you can do it again. If you weren't able to in a therapeutic setting then it was probably an incompetent person sitting across from you and not a blow against your capacity or the validity of hypnotherapy. Dr. Milton Erickson...

The board's software cut off the link, its: http://stockcharts.com/gallery/?$naad And yes, I can explain it because I also tripped upon it a while back and thought I had discovered something significant. Turns out its a red herring. The mistake that I made (just like you and perhaps...

RM, I don't think you really understand what hypnosis is if you say that you're immune to it. Have you ever driven somewhere and not remembered all the turns you took to get there? have you ever been engrossed in something and been surprised that much more time than you imagined had passed...

Mark, this may be a dumb Q but what is the difference between an inverted hammer and a shooting star? TIA

psy, since you could care less this doesn't matter really but for the record I was joking :p

re OSUR and large down candles, yes I would tend to agree that that would put me off thinking of going long. I think there are, however, setups after such early morning action where it may makes sense to go long. For example, lets say you have a large down candle but then price begins to find...

Yeah, sure...just querying 'hedge fund jobs'... uh-huh...we believe you.

The problem I have with Cramer is twofold, he purports to be an active trader (not investor for the long term seeking value ala Buffett) yet he eschews TA and relies on fundamental analysis. Do I really need to point out how assenine this is? Two, he is an attention whore who is interested in...

mhashe, you seem to ignore the fact that sawdust is a medium of exchange and for the sellers of oil to receive/buy anything in return for it, they would have to sell saw dust. You don't need to sweep up sawdust off lumberyards. All you need is something that represents 'sawdust', even a piece of...

mhashe, you fail to understand that its just a medium of transfering wealth. That's all. Cloves of garlic will be bought AND sold, not hoarded as it is a way to exchange wealth. Garlic, Yen, Euro, USD, etc. it doesn't matter. Do yourself a favour and take an Econ101 course or just go to the...

I'll leave the discussion of why Paris is burning to others (is it the fault of rampaging Muslim/Arab youth or grannies protesting against the lack of metamucil laced red wine?). Turn over the police to me and I'll have the riots ended in 24 hours. Here's my plan: First, drop paper...

mhashe, by the same logic high ice cream sales would cause sunshine and high temperatures. The USD isn't the defacto world currency because of it is used to price oil and other commodities (gold, natural gas, etc.). Rather it is used to price these commodities because it is so widely used and...

As I've mentioned in another similar thread, the currency which a commodity is traded in is irrelevant. Only financially illiterates (like journalists) engage in this fallacy. The Tehran stock exchange topped shortly after Ahmadinejad was handed the top spot by Khamenei (he wasn't elected so...

Hi Pete, thanks for your feedback and I'm glad you find this method useful. When you get a chance, post charts as they are the best way to show your trades and have others comment and critique it. Cheers :)

Here's my take on SMH (note that I'm using 15 min chart not 5 min). Green denotes a buy stop to enter. Red is stop loss. Brown square is exit (I don't like engulfing down bars like that). For info on why that entry/stop loss, etc. see...

Your comment brought a :) to my face as I recalled similar experiences in school. I'm also reminded of a joke which invoves a mechanic asking a surgeon why he gets paid so much more when they do pretty much the same thing (except he works on cars, instead of bodies). The surgeon replies, next...

How much of an idiot does this guy have to be to fantasize that he has 'squashed' a pattern when it hasn't even played out? :p "Oct 19th 2005 - VIX down 13.6% S&P closed at 1195. Ten trading days later ????" Drumroll..... SP500 is standing at: 1214.76 Ta-da ! And the pattern...

Still think there's more upside here - I'm surprised at the strength in the financials. Are they signalling the end of the interest rate cycle?
