    Who's making money today?

    I'd totally farm if I had the land and water rights. How did your friend come into possession of his acreage?

    Catching Tails

    MASSIVE gap down open and slow meltup of just about everything today! The only stock on my list that did not fall in step was RPRX, which has little institutional ownership (yet). And how about this for a top call: "The NY Fed on 'the phenomenol' asset that is gold"...

    Why Is The Not So Obvious Obvious?

    Another obvious gem that someone stated is that if 90% of traderz lose, why not take the other side? Another name for this is market making. OP hinted about this when he claimed most people didn't really know where their order went, how the exchange worked, and who took the other side...

    Why Is The Not So Obvious Obvious?

    The Obvious was stated somewhere toward the beginning of the thread: 90% of the time you must buy low, sell high (BLSH) or sell high, buy low (SHBL). Another name for this is range trading. 10% of the time you buy high sell higher (BHSH) or sell low buy lower (SLBL). Another name for...

    Catching Tails

    In that vein, in the spirit of Jack Hershey, I decided to start collecting my thoughts on yellow legal padz. The latest candidate list. You have to do this when it costs you 3 days on the bench, every time you make a play.

    Catching Tails

    Greetings, fellow price watcherz. Look at what I missed out on (AFFY) while I was infatuated with a certain NFLX that didn't share my affections. Classic third wave liftoff out of a bull flag. So obvious in hindsight.... perfect range compression and MA bundle, momentum divergence, etc...

    wtf: Obama Calls For ‘Day Of Prayer" over shooting.

    Evil = absence of good. Do you know what good is? Evil is what destroys that. It's all over the natural world, if you study physics (namely, the principle of entropy). God created man with free will, and gave him a choice (several times) to follow God's Law (the 10 commandments) or go...

    2012: The Battle for Survival

    True, I believe those Tharp seminar games are for the purpose of exaggerating position sizing effects, to get the playerz to understand how important it is. Tharp did mention a trader who had about a 75% win rate and 1R average win. He claimed this trader had the holy grail, because with a...

    ES Journal - 2012

    My friendly, fellow traderz. I have an observation, for your stimulation, this Friday afternoon. I remember in the beginning of the thread "Why is the obvious not so obvious" the Guru hinted that 90% of the time you buy low sell high, 10% of the time you buy high sell higher, and vice...

    Doaks Challenges Hershey

    How about starting a journal, even if all you have is a sim account. Why not silence your critics once and for all?

    Why Work?

    There are people like this all over the Pacific NW and the Bible belt. They take advantage of the innate desire law abiding but naive citizens have who want to help someone when they are down. Parasites seek the most generous host. The essence of the criminal mind is a belief in the...

    How many of you got faked out today?

    It's hard to wait for The Market to show you its cardz. It's much easier to anticipate what a "logical" outcome "should" be, and position yourself, than to sit and wait........ and wait........ and watch for the mood swing that correlates with trend changes. The ultimate truth is that we all...

    Where Would I Start?

    I like Tradestation / Easylanguage because you get unlimited data included with the platform, but Multicharts is also very popular. It's more like programming in BASIC, rather than C. It's a great project and you will discover many Market Truths in the process. :)

    Catching Tails

    ..... And wouldn't you know, NFLX popped two days later in what could possibly be the first wave that I was anticipating. The stock almost looks like it's waiting for earnings. Wave iv is tracing out a declining wedge ("diagonal triangle" according to the EW textbook). This is a setup that...

    So guys, here is the (very bullish) SPY chart. But it's tracing out a rising wedge, which looks very suspicious.
