Didn't Shiller win an award for proving that home prices were relatively stagnant from like 1880-1990?

Great post. I'm the same way and it's why I enjoy this thread even though I'm not an ACD user. I do about an hour and a half of work a night by hand writing out my numbers and key levels the next day. I use one moving average and that's a simple 5 period average. I only use daily charts...

But Jim Cramer?!?!?!?

Frankly, for what I do all the ag markets test out best. Unlike ES and some of the more popular products the ags are pretty straightforward to me. Especially the softs. They tend to trade from the low of the day to the high or the high to the low more than any other instrument meaning I only...

No there is more than enough liquidity. There are some softs you could run into problems with liquidity depending on what kind of size you are looking to trade. Sugar, coffee, and cocoa are your most liquid. I'd probably stay away from lumber and OJ. Cotton can be thin but I trade it.

Haha I know. That's one of the things I look for as far as position trades. Most people quit watching things like sugar or coffee when they just grind around in low volatility environments. Those are my favorites to watch because when they get moving and breakout they go. I feel like sugar...

A little personal story about the hafez. Hafez and I used to work at a prominent trading shop around 10-15 years ago. I was fairly new to the game and it was right at the height of the tech bubble. Obviously, everyone was into tech and the nasdaq, myself included, and we were all trading...

Hey mav, do you trade sugar? I don't exactly follow ACD but I've noticed my methodology and yours line up a ton. I'd think that is a pretty strong go with ACD as well. It's a little frothy now though.

Yelp, fb, lnkd, etc. getting murdered today. Looks like the pain trade may be starting to begin.

Worst acting I've ever seen in that second one. In the first one you can tell the guy is in some real pain.

Was looking through a lot of the patterns out of boredom. There is something called an adam and eve double bottom pattern. I'm pretty sure it's named that because one top looks like a dick and the other a boob. Hilarious.

I like the long side here too. That goes for Nat gas as well.

el oh el.

You must be a pro because I can only focus on tommorrow for what I think might be good trades. YOU CAN SEE YEARS INTO THE FUTURE! IS THIS WHAT LEGENDS ARE MADE OF?!?!?!?

Most people go to the bank for seed capital. I understand the need for capital if you are coming up on planting season but 100MM dollars? This is just crazy. How are you going to increase your acreage incrementally like this in order to continue to need more seed? Sometimes it's hard to just...

I bet the feast was when he was making lots of money and the famine was when he was losing money. That would be my bet but I'm not a betting man.

I was about to say corn traded 8ths when the price of corn was much lower. And yes the mini's still trade in 8ths.

I actually know this guy. He held on to the position and took it back for an 8 figure pay day the other way. He averaged down the whole time. He had 40k in his account at the time. It was all the money he owned and he was very close to a margin call.

OUT @ 0.93. I've had worse starts to weeks back. Usually takes me a day or two so I'm hanging it up today down 1.8%

Bought 5 SLW OCT. 18 $24 puts for 1.06.
