The White House reported today that there have 'officially' been 650,000 jobs created by the $800 billion stimulus package in February. Now check my math, but I'm figuring that comes to over $1.2 million per job. I'm wondering where I can just check pick up a check.

I don't think there are ever any apologies to be made for modifying a system based on market conditions. Although any followers or subscribers to a system get naturally freaked out when it happens. As if someone should check their brains at the door after backtesting. The graveyard is...

I have long signals flashing as well. But then gain, I also had them flashing this morning. Thank God I was using extremely tight stops and saved myself much grief. Ha! So much for blindly following system alerts. This is an interesing place where IMO technicals and fundamentals are...

Of course it doesn't. There is absolutely no reason to expect a mechanical system to perform with the same efficiency in every market. In the case of the OP, he was questioning his YM strategy in regard to individual equities. An index will not respond to the same parameters as the...

What's missing from the 'official' (crap) numbers are (1) Unemployed who have simply stopped looking and have run out of unemployement benefits, (2) The seriously underemployed who have had hours and salaries cut, and most significantly, the self-employed and small business owners in every...

Intraday or short term, you'll be frustrated with them. They don't trade like stocks in terms of fills, and often don't precisely track the underlying. Longer term you shouldn't have big problems.

He thought it was a gift. But had he listened more closely, he would have heard it ticking.

The article you referenced was written on Futures Mag on 10/2. So obviously his moronic call was completely off the mark. (Note his extended red lines showing capitulation at this point. Well, we're up another 6%. So much for making predictions at the hard right edge.)

You'll love the area if you like spending your days sucking exhaust sitting in traffic, and getting nowhere. Very overcrowded and very expensive, as is just about anywhere in OC. So Cal used to be such a paradise. Now it's just one big parking lot from the beach to 50 miles inland.

America was made "great" through slavery and exploitation of the poor for the past 300 years, not through some idealistic crap about personal accountability.

So your solution is social engineering? Put free individuals where YOU think they should be? They shouldn't be trading? They should be contributing as good solid American citizens. Producing more crap that can be sold....where? At Walmart? Or Rayond James? Or your local...

AMT likes to triple down and triple up. So in his terms what he is referring to is the "Gift that keeps on giving." :D

To say that daytrading provides zero economic activity is beyond stupid. Any type of trading generates commissions and fees, hence employment for thousands of support personnel throughout the financial industry. Data providers, software vendors, IT specialists, brokers, managers, admin...

And it will instantly kill thousands of middle class support jobs in the financial industry. Everything you've ever traded, every system you've ever developed, just toss it away because the ball game will completely change. Nothing you've done in the past will be valid, and most of it will...

LMAO! Jack, of all the horseshit that you've slung over the years - and by now it is miles deep - this has to be near the top of the pile. Funny stuff. Thanks for the laughs. :p

Wisconsin in the summer. Scottsdale (here) in the winter. Frank Lloyd Wright knew what he was doing.

Capitulation indicates sellers in large numbers throwing in the towel. The chart shows a sharp and rapid selloff on high volume. The keys to that sentence are 'sharp' and 'rapid'. (High volume isn't always a key on intraday timeframes, although it can help on daily bars.) Note that...

The only "Pattern" that has any true value on any of your charts is the CAPITULATION on your first chart. If you can master that in any timeframe, you can succeed as a trader.

What do you by "every time"? Do you mean lately? If so, it's because equities have had a very strong tendancy lately to pull back in the mornings and recover within a few hours for a quick profit. I wish it would last forever because I've been playing the game. But it won't. And I...
