    You can program your brain with self-created propaganda posted in front of you at your desk, on the ceiling over your bed, above the mirror in the bathroom, dashboard of the car, etc. An example: "Don't do anything unless it's really right" Print that out, post it all around your living...

    PWER getting weak; sold @ 4.11 for $5 loss. The Market is definitely in a holding pattern these last few days.

    Successful Trading and Compounding - On Steroids

    Great results. All you gotta do is follow your system, and don't to anything unless you know what you're doing. I'm sure you've already written down your trading rules and posted them on the wall opposite your trading chair.

    1. If you are willing to write down your rules for taking a trade, and 2. You are willing to give this to a disciplinarian (someone more disciplined than you) who will authorize all your trades, then 3. Yes, this may help you. But you may grow to dislike the company. 4. Making...

    Catching Tails

    Tradestation has a custom scanner built in that I use for creating my list of top gainers (% daily gain > 5%, volume > 500k, price < $20). You can get the same thing on finviz.com's home page. For EW education, two resources that helped me the most were The Wave Principle by Prechter &...

    Catching Tails

    Yes PWER is getting bought by insiders every time it gets near the triple bottom. AMD had a good pop, but no wave 3 yet. I did see it on the scanner today and it was moving in gaps on the hourly.... who knows. Total profit for the week: $192 booked, $15 open. One trade, one win (bot...

    Trend following fails to beat index

    Trading is just like fighting. One of my favorite guys, Anderson Silva, has been a champion for a long time, yet keeps changing his end game. First it was leg kicks, then the random reverse elbo to the forehead, then the classic Muay Thai clench + knees to the head, then hands low + sneaky...

    Trading Wisdom for Aspiring Hedge Fund Managers

    I'm afraid I have not received the Spirit of the Holy Fractal of The Market, and you're speaking in tongues. I can't follow. :( But I'm able to channel Bob Prechter at any given moment.....

    The really scary thing is..... as I've progressed thru the development of my own system of market timing, I almost see what you're getting at, although the language barrier is tricky. Binary is not my native.....

    Catching Tails

    Long, intermediate & short term trends have been up, hence longs mostly. When the time comes (as it did briefly, last week) I use FAZ or SPXS.

    Catching Tails

    Mild update on IMH: I closed it out for a couple hundred bux profit yesterday, and wouldn't you know - today it would have been worth 800+ :eek: Riding a tail is harder than it looks. I always sell to get out of the "hot seat" so I don't have to sit and watch it all day. I think...

    Catching Tails

    Options.... great fun if you can get a tight bid / ask and avoid the last couple days of time decay. The event horizon for me always seemed to be around Wed. of exp week, in a past life, when I still traded the thingz. But talk about leverage.... out of money two week to expiration, if you...

    :eek: Thanks, I better get that right, in case I ever become a Trading Educator or newsletter writer. :) This is just a guess, but I believe that parabola was a classic extended fifth wave ("blowoff") top. It is the only case I know when you get a bottom / top w/o the divergences.
