Technical support :cool:

Ooohhhhhh, I get it! (There's) bidding (at) 5.75 pre-market!

SPY is definitely maybe possibly or not due for a pullback based on this brilliant observation from an article I read earlier: "Could this week be the start of a coming correction? My answer is yes. And I wouldn't want to fight the Fed. But my bias is that a significant correction may also...

That's quite something that you bid 5.75 in pre-market and the order somehow didn't fill despite shares trading at lower prices in pre-market after your post. Also odd that you'd cancel the order once RTH was underway without letting your followers know why 5.75 was suddenly no longer a good value.

Right, you were bidding 5.75 in pre-market and your bid was lifted unless you changed your mind without providing a "Surfer alert".

I didn't say it was a disastrous pick. I was just correcting your 22% gain post and then asking Surf for a wee bit of the transparency he requires from technical price action traders to prove that they actually are profitable as a result of objective criteria. Without his trade log on BIOD we...

Same here.

Tell you what, Surf, how about a little transparency. I've posted plenty of trade records backing up my calls; how about posting your BIOD trade log?

Look back a few posts and you'll see that on Monday he bought more at 5.75, average 5.06 (assuming he added an equal amount of shares; we don't know because there's never been a trade log posted by Surf) and sold at 5.35 for a 6% gain, again assuming he didn't add significantly larger size on...

I have a plan for taking profit at the time I place my entry order. The plan is based on what's happened up to that moment in time. There are times when my plan is to place a hard target at a level where price is likely to be defended by the opposite camp. This plan takes place when I'm trading...

Bob Volman recommends calculating the value at the start of each new trading session to determine position size.

FWIW, a brief skimming of Spyder's thread here on ET convinced me that I was on the right path toward learning to trade profitably. This was a pretty dark period for me, coming off a few "Holy Grails" that I failed to profit from. Spyder's thread described stuff I'd been investigating that...

It sure seems like our resident stealth vendor has engaged in pumping and dumping a penny stock on Elite Trader. I thought penny stock calls were forbidden and certainly P&D must be, no? Where are the moderators? :confused:

Hi, Bug! I wish the ET chat room was still around :(

20-day EMA 1680

Thanks for your kind words. I was unable to consistently profit from trading until I learned to be clear as a bell in being able to recognize what I was seeing, whether or not to trade on it, and why. Jack, I agree with Dev. PLEASE start a thread with a key to your abbreviations. :p

Maybe I'm up 1000% YTD, but I've been trading a $10K account. Maybe I'm up 10% YTD, but I'm trading a million dollar account. Maybe I'm down 99%. Maybe I don't even trade. If the talk on a thread is useless to you, unsubscribe from the thread.

It's surprising that you claim to have decades of trading/market experience yet you act like you have no understanding of probability and statistics. I didn't say the repeating patterns repeat 100% of the time they appear. They repeat more often than not. If I trade pattern A when it...

You don't have to know whether price will break out or reverse at a S/R level to make money. You don't have to know what price will do after you take a position in the market to make money. I'm a trend follower when price is trending and I trade reversals in ranges and when price action...

Ammo has decades of experience, including experience as a high level professional, and he's one of the few ET-ers who demonstrates right here in front of everyone what a trader's mindset looks like in real time day in and day out.
