Oh come on! Couldn't you tell that I was giving GrandSuperPooper a teasing poke? :D

Of course he's pumping it up. Use it to your advantage.

Fair enough, but you're a trader, aren't you? So why do you care? Go long on the stimulus, and go short when the stimulus is pulled. At some point they will need to raise rates, and there will be a point when everything comes crashing down again. However, betting against BUBBLE ben at this...

Which takes me back to my original comment about psychology. If you can get enough people believing your story, however ludicrous the story may be, the story must be true. As traders, there is lot more money to made trading what people believe then trading what should be true. Not that I...

Me and my big mouth!! Moments after I say the above, we get a decision about Greece, and down goes gold. Cycle, did you have the good sense to add to your short for a brief 2 to 3 hour trade?

However, that's not what the numbers are showing. The data shows that inflation is actually very moderate. Can that be sustained? Hard to know.

Which is precisely why I see huge upside potential still. The US economy is just starting to get legs again. There is a pile of cash sitting on the sidelines with very frustrated people who aren't making any money on their "safe" investments. In the meantime, FED rates area at an all time...

We might have to hand him a little cash from time to time to help him keep his head above water. :D

Its all a game of psychology. If everybody believes that times are good again, they'll buy buy buy and spend spend spend. The result: a new booming economy. Its true in your every day life as well. If you're constantly depressed, you're more likely to become more depressed. Whereas if...

The us30 (DOW) CFD that I have with FXCM shows the price racing up at 8am EST and then collapsing right back down again towards 10:30EST. Not certain what caused it, but it happened to XAUUSD as well, but XAU stayed up. S2007S, you must be having a little fun with your 14,000 call on the...

DOW will break 13000 by Feb 17th at the latest. It may or may not close above 13000, but it will break above.

Nice falling "magaphone" formation on 5 minute chart for XAU. Upside breakout imminent! :D :D

Yes, I guess that's one way to drive the markets down. If everybody who dislikes GrandSuperPoop were to sell their shares and leave the markets, that would definately send us down below the 03/2009 low. :D So we now have five active GrandSuperPoop threads at the top of the forum????

Language, no, its a visual problem. I don't blame Lucrum for missing that, I too thought it was you who created that chart. Had to look again a few minutes ago to see that you were simply referencing someone else. Last year I did backtest those moving averages on stocks randomly selected...

No need to "cut hairs". You referenced an entry by N54_fan. The anotation comment is very correct. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=214546&perpage=6&pagenumber=269

Also those moving averages look different after the fact than they do at the instant you make your trade in real time. Realize that the moving average recalculates as the prices come in. As a result the position of the line will change. Therefore, what looks like a cross now, may not have...
