Petty, thanks for explaining. Let me try on your shoes. Let us postulate that you have a futures system which makes 50% per contract per month in small size, a fairly typical system. Of course you will not give it away. Where is the crossover of your threshold of pain and your impulse to...

Wiz, curious why if you have such success identifying turning points you don't use market orders to get in the game.

Petty, great stuff, thanks, but why aren't you concerned that revealing how you trade will let more hogs slop at your trough and shoulder you out?

What leads you to believe VWAP has any value in trading?

Let us say you are Fido. As the day evolves you observe that your 401K clients are getting bullish about the S&P 500 and placing net positive transfers to be executed after the close at the closing valuation. You guarantee them that price. You connect the dots.

OK, here's the real deal of high divvies, what I own: JNJ, KFT, KMB, LINE, MCD, MO, SE, WM, plus the OP's COP. Pretty much bulletproof. Later gonna buy PCH, HNZ, PAYX, CNK and OLN when their prices are more attractive.

Better rethink VZ.

You have, of course, verified that all four pay out less than they currently earn? No?

This guy looks to want to build up a following from here so he can charge later for his services. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=199278 I am not complaining. Just jealous. Were I a moderator I would ban any and all posters whose handles begin with "cun".

Alter. Altar. Alterboy. Altarnative. Used in a sentence: "His only altarnative was an alterboy."

Apologies for the rant. But over the years I have observed that those who can't spell also can't backtest to support their brilliant wild ass-sertions. "Volatility is high"? Define volatility. Define "high" for volatility. Then show me on a chart or backtest that the assertion "stocks are about...

Bullshit. The only thing high volatility means is that low volatility is coming. Home-brewed definition of volatoilety attached.

Oh. So it's spelled volotility? My mistake.

Some friendly advice. When I first saw your thread, you had 50 views and no replies. A large segment of the educated population knee jerks that if you can't spell you aren't worth listening to. I know. It's hard. You have to be a native speaker, gone to elementary school, be able to read some...

Oh, my! How I long for the good old days with their simplistic view of "up", "down", or "sideways!"

A tiny correction to your otherwise perfect post: the index premium site is indexarb, not riskarb. But riskarb would be an appropriate name to warn you away from their foolishness.

I am trying to be kind here and choose my words carefully. Jack is a theoretician, not a practitioner. And an Aristotelian theoretician at that. Neverhteless, he has much of value to offer. But be careful what elements of his total offering you bet your money on.

"Moving down" IS a specific setup. You just haven't quantified it and coded it and tested it.

No offense, Big D. But I have been around a while. If a certain type of pattern repeats more that randomness suggests it should, one assumes it is not a random event. The pattern I have in mind at the moment is that an Outsider descries and cries out "Manipulation!", and an Insider replies...

I agree with Danxg. I loathe watching market depth because it isn't deep enough to show you where the market may want to retrace to ("Off the map there be dragons!"). The big boys sell at resistance and then flock to the bid at support while tamping down the ask just enough to discourage the...
