I think you misunderstand. He is getting in using a buy stop above the high of the inside bar.

nkhoi, I was laughing about the Harvard guy spending so much time trying to decipher garbage. Has anyone ever heard of the term GIGO in programming? Man I'm busting a gut reading usenet's old posts: http://groups.google.com/group/misc.invest.futures/msg/ef3e2de805dffa65?dmode=source&hl=en...

wrap up: torontotrader, nice shootin Tex! ElectricSavant and frogy, you're right ! I allowed my bias against indicators in general to cause me to ignore this. Albeit, MACD relies on exponential MA and I would prefer to use simple MA but still it does give a nice visual representation on...

This may be a crazy idea but here goes... I know that IB is working on improvements and additions to its technology and platform all the time. Could we, your clients, be put in charge of setting the priorities? I mean, give us transparency on the list of things you're working on and let us...

Bwaaaahaha!! Oh man! :D What can I say? ... except Baron, I needs me more space for my ignores! Grob106/109/Jack... can you please stick to one of your multiple personalities so I can effectively ignore you? I know, I know, then I would need to find another source of comedy but I hear...

i'm having a bit of a challenge with a spreadsheet that gummy made for me and I'd like some help. It downloads data from yahoo!finance but the data seems to get garbbled for some reason (dates are dropped, etc.). Since it has a macro in it, I have no idea what it is actually doing under...

There's also: "US Equity markets will not go down" http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=53623 (also by RickshawMan - how many threads do you need for the same thing?) and http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=54878 All during the long...

Until it does. There have been scores of Barron's covers which have been not only right (in terms of direction) but also timing. If you want a cover to fade, look at BusinessWeek, Fortune, Newsweek, Times, etc.. btw check this out (pdf)...

ovations, two questions: are you a native English speaker? If not where are you from Europe? Asia? Also, tell us more about neovest, cost, features, how long it took you to learn, etc.

That does it! Pistols at dawn!! :D

Jeebus! Kevin, simmer down man! What are you trying to pull?!! get everyone over here playing dummies? shhhh!! Let them spend the next 3 years hashing and re-hashing, indexing and mapping then re-indexing and re-mapping Jack Hershey's meandering nonsensical drivel. :D But...

Thanks for pointing that out. Technically you could trade using a smaller or larger time frame. BTW, I'm pretty sure MaoXian uses 30 min. for dummies since all his lesson charts are in that time increment. But as you've seen so far in the journal, it is possible to take good trades using...

AAA, I like the way you put it: vol. crush. That's pretty much it. I'm basically betting that the sky isn't falling not that its going to bounce. Usually - not always! - when a leading company is dealt a blow like MRK or CMB or VNT, they don't bounce back. They recover a little bit then tread...

I know what you mean. I have the same sense of foreboding. There's a lot of people leaning one way (short volatility) and their wake up call is coming. When, I don't know. But it is coming. Its like our own version of '87 when everyone was selling puts and making out like bandits...until...

All sentiment data is meh. We're in no man's land here after coming off high bullish sentiment in late July/early Aug. Look at the PC ratio. Look at the AAII or the II ratios and also look at new high/new low, etc. They all pointed to an inflection point at that time. Now? The probability is...

Yeah, I thought so too. But this book that I'm just reading has another take on it that is interesting (Cohen - Selling Puts). He says that he likes long dated puts (LEAPS) for two reasons. One, they lower your BE much more than short dated ones. And two, they let you have more time to allow...

Have you guys read Cohen's book on selling puts? http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/007141665X/qid=1125870733/sr=8-2/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i2_xgl14/104-4177895-5138354?v=glance&s=books&n=507846 It basically outlines a strategy for selling puts below support based on TA for large...

I've read that oil companies are still inputing $30ish/barrel into their project calculations. And as a result not taking on projects that would deliver positive FV.

Dr.Bob, those are awsome suggestions. Hope IB takes them seriously and can implement.
