Create an intraday gap on the spy and squeeze all the suckers that play the gap fade. I see this everyday, even if there's not enough overlap between two bars, they still fade it and are successful nearly 100% of the time.

Higher interest rates so far haven't done it. I think only a recession can kill it. Even then maybe not, these markets have defied fundementals so far. Can't the central banks world wide create a plunge inducement team in those markets like the one they had going in gold for 20 years? Just a...

they probably do, the markets have always gone down in advance of these attacks.

We need to start getting into financing terrorism against the Islamists. Pay Shiites to kill Sunnis and Sunnis to kill Shiites. These people only respond to violence. Thats the only way to defeat Islam - divide and conquer.

Does anyone know if the any of the 'great' traders such as: Soros, Simons, Cohen, or PTJ use leverage - if so how much? (note: VN excluded from great trader list - marketsufer's reaction::mad: )

On second thought, no one seems to account for leverage on fund performance. Lets say a buy and hold mutual fund returns 8% a year without using leverage and trading strictly stocks from the long side. Now a hedge fund using 5-1 leverage and trading multiple markets and derivative contracts...

So for this Simons guy to AVERAGE a NET 34% for his investors that means he is making over 75% on the money he runs. 75% on average on BILLIONs is amazing....GREATEST TRADER OF ALL TIME???

gap fill now seeming unlikely...maximum bear frustration?

i remember trying to bottem pick the Qs after the bubble burst....kept going long in a declining market and lost a lot of money....then finally i caught the bottem (near the bottem) at 20.06. So then what did I do after finally catching the bottem? I flipped it at 24 as it went to 43. After...

I CAN'T BELEIVE THE CONSPIRACY SHIT I'M READING HERE....MAYBE I'M JUST A NAIVE KNOWNOTHING....BUT YOU GUYS ARE MAKING ME PARANOID.....SOMEONE PLEASE PUT THE KNOWLEDGE SMACKDOWN ON THESE CLOWNS..

I think traders lose the most money misjudging the momentum of the market. Market moves up or down huge and everyone thinks moonshot or crash, then the monster pullback to squeeze everyone. Or market moves sideways and everyone thinks sit tight cause we're going sideways and then a monster...

Still waiting for a 2% down day. We don't know what pain is it seems.

I say today we move down big to gap fill then take out the highs. Squeeze all bears with a move to 1280 or maybe even 1300 in the next few weeks. Then a huge move down third quarter to take out the lows and officially correct.

you know what your right...its dumb to predict market action (no more stupid posts from me in this regard), just trade off the patterns you see now and forget yesterday or tommorrow after all if your a day trader it makes no sense to look at any timeframe other than the one your trading now.

the people selling....where are they puting their money? underneath their beds? In falling RE market? In CDs that underperform inflation?

if the fed is going to pause then they need to come out and say it to stabalize the market or else if the year lows break on the SnP it could destabalize everything

market making unbelievable moves, absolutely sick...i'm loving it!!!!

nice job....note within 15 minutes of this post we saw the biggest spike up of the day...in fact withing minutes of him posting this the markets did bottem...look at the charts....contrary to consensus opinion a lot of fund managers do check into ET often, they just don't post much.

no correction in this market will be allowed till after the day comes when all the news anchors say "well today the Dow made an all time high by closing above 12,000 for the first time ever"...then john doe thinks equities are finally safe and BAM a 10% correction.

i'd like to see 200 mill traded on the Qs with a higher close, scare the shit out of the shorts
