RB - for a person with your good intelligence, you sure waste a lot of time with negatives. Do you really think that all this negative energy helps your trading? Does it help anyone here at ET? What's the real point?

I would expect this to work in most any market - It's only a short term (10days) trading system. I must admit though, that I haven't researched this past my small sample size. I don't have access to historical VIX data. Anybody want to step up and look at this from a long term...

Only lost 13 points on my trade so far!!:) I'm willing to give it some more time. However, it may soon be time to consider a graceful exit strategy and take a mild loss. Today's sell off was disappointing considering Crude Oil was down over 2%. And after droping 13% yesterday, the...

Kinda disappointing considering Crude Oil was down over 2% today. :eek: The only good news is that the Semi's were strong compared to the overal market. Semis up today Fortunately markets rebounding off their lows. Tomorrow should be better

gotta love that ER2!!! Today's scorecard..... Dow - .3% S&P - .5% RUSSELL - 1.2% :D

I was quoting directly off the S&P chart, not the Dec05 futures Strange day today, with Russell down 1% and Semis up 1.2%

Just Bought S&P at support - 1190 With Crude Oil down 3% today, I'll take my chances here. I'm willing to give it 10 days. May take profits sooner if they appear. cheers,

that's what I'm thinking. I'm a little hesitant to buy the S&P right after it when up 17 points. Gonna be patient and wait for it to come down a bit. cheers,

Aug 18th 2004 - VIX down 17.5% S&P closed at 1095. In the next ten trading days high +17 lo -9 close +10 Sept 21st 2004 - VIX down 14.5% S&P closed at 1129. In the next ten trading days high +10 lo -28 (ouch) close +5 May 25th 2004 - VIX down 13.3% S&P closed at 1113. In the...

in my humble opinion... The Recent Drop in Crude oil prices - oil looks to be heading under $60 a barrel soon, possibly by the end of the week. Optimism that situation in Iraq is improving No new inflation surprizes in Beige Book Strong Financials sector and the Market always...

The VIX index closed at 13.50, down by 13.6% from today's open of 15.63. According to my figures, this marks only the 7th time in the past 2 years that the index has gone down by 10% or more in a single day. All of the other 6 times proved to be good buying opportunities as the S&P was...

No up trading days on the S&P on above 60d ema volume so far yet in October That makes the bulls 0-12 Bearish down days on above average volume are 9-12 hmmmmmmm Clearly the big boys are selling in the fourth quarter.

Will buy to cover at support @ $62.10 Still time to get in.

Updated reports now say Wilma is likely to hit Florida, not Texas. Still time to short oil @ $63.55

The Russell 2K ER2 is simply awesome. I don't even consider trading the S&P anymore. Why should I??

Anybody see today's rise in oil prices as a good chance to short? No one really has any idea where this tropical storm Wilma will go. Odds seem unlikely that it could strike the oil producing sections of the western gulf because of the current upper level westerly wind pattern...

Speculation is gambling only if you believe that markets are completely ramdon. I don't. Don't confuse risk taking with gambling.

I've heard it often takes about 2 years to be consistantly successful.

was tempted to take profits - but with the VIX closing right near it's low for the day, will wait. Expect to sell IWM shortly after the opening bell on Monday.
