    Big fat losing day : o (update, followed by bigger win, yay)

    Back when I was an RIA, the "disclosing performance" guidelines were basically... 1. If you claim anything about performance, you have to tell everything. That means you can't publically claim the results of a good year without also disclosing ALL of your track record since when you first...

    This is what a genuine bear market looks like...

    ARKK... an upside leader on highly speculative stocks. A downside leader with still, highly speculative (to date, -71% off of high). And as the current "overall bear market" is just beginning, ARKK likely to drop much further. MUCH of the market will end up looking like this or even worse...

    Negative GDP just what the FOMC needed

    Which is nothing better than a "backhanded default".

    Why did everything go down together?

    Today's market player acts like they think a -5% dip is a panic... and the Fed should "step in an do something about it". Ridiculous! Today we label a -20% dip as a "bear market". That's stupid, too! Years ago, a -25% down move was regarded as "mere noise". A bear market character is like...

    Negative GDP just what the FOMC needed

    Maybe not. They say the "worst of both worlds"... "contracting economy + rising rates" = stagflation.

    Why did everything go down together?

    Yes! Cash has been in its own bull market... have you noticed?

    Why did everything go down together?

    When "they" get into "risk off" mode, they sell almost everything at once. Sometimes a sector or two will survive the decline "for a while"... like oil at this time. However when we get into a genuine bear market, almost everything will be tanked... some worse than others... and not all at the...

    What is the Chinese equivalent of these futures products?

    China markets are heavily regulated and manipulated... even more so than the US markets. Difficult to navigate to make money without outsized risk. Suggest seeking fame and fortune elsewhere.

    A trendline is better than a thousand(yea, even ten thousand fundamentals)

    A hint on Technical Analysis.... The support/resistance, highs/lows from the PRIOR move are irrelevant... except for the extreme ones.. the bottom and top of the pattern. That is... nothing from the lows of March, 2020... up to the chart highs matter now.... that's all "ancient history". "Why"...

    Volume/price relationship question

    EXACTLY! There is no legitimate correlation of price and volume when it comes to trades. Suggest you FUGGETABOUTIT when it comes to including volume in trading decisions. And even if there were an apparent correlation, volume would be lagging. It's not "price and volume" when it comes to...

    So... when the financial markets crash and get into bear markets, will the money flee stocks, bonds, and RE to be deployed into BTC? I suspect not, but we'll see. That might be the "acid test" for the validity of crypto.

    So.. reinforce the cockpit, engine cowlings and fuel tanks. The rest apparently makes little difference... so long as the plane can fly with damage to the "non-critical" areas. Makes sense.

    Crash?

    The setup at the end of this congestion is a REALLY BIG one... not your run-of-the-mill scalp or "daily swing". That's why, "who cares"?... Everybody/trader should. (Get the next 2 "big ones" right, it will change your life. Get it wrong and it could change your life, too.)

    Crash?

    Interesting. I'd accessed the tools I use from other functions without ever having selected a tool from the standard tool menu...

    Crash?

    Your toolbar has more options than mine (?).

    Crash?

    Yeah, that. If it turns out to be, I'm sure most of the bulls and bears will have their panties in a twist. (Then again, if I see it probably won't be that simple.) :D I see you used Sierra Chart. My daily doesn't want to display properly, but I messed with it some more and was able to get...

    Crash?

    Could be the market players are looking at this earning season being the "last with the Fed's wind at its back". (??)

    Crash?

    Tongues are wagging... EVERYBODY sees that "the crash" has already started. _____________________________________________________________ Wouldn't it be a hoot if instead the market did another "rip your face off" rally like it did in March? Actually that would be classic... a large "ABC...

    How was this crash obvious?

    Ditto!
