    Does SPY gapped filled mean end of rally?

    It is no more crap than the wild guess that started this thread. Does SPY gapped filled mean end of rally? The answer to your question is "maybe yes, maybe no." One wild unsupported guess is as good as another...

    New study says: Technical Analysis is garbage

    This is perhaps one of the alltime lame beliefs of TA aficionados. It "works" ONLY if it yields a consistent positive expectancy. TA related stuff (indicators, etc.) send way too many traders into the red. For a long time, almost all sailors believed that sea monsters roamed the open...

    I have probably used it 100 times and it was probably ignored at least 40 times. And a number of my comments to that effect are existing in threads on ET. Gone almost immediately? Try actually doing it on ET rather than in your hypothetical head. Amazing how many people confuse "I...

    Making my use of stops more methodical and effective

    Improvingstops First of all, ignore everything Jack Hershey says. He is the leading guru wannabe. And has made major claims and refused every of the 100+ challenges from many different people for proof of his outlandish claims. He is a ruthless misleader of many many newbies on ET...

    Petsamo's Top Call

    hope you're joking. First, a sample size of one is like flipping a coin and saying "it came up heads! This coin must have no tails on it!" After all, if it did not "work" would you have posted? :D

    Making my use of stops more methodical and effective

    I wasn't saying to cut if at $120, I said to try different size stops and see where you get best effect. For example, cut off at $50, $75, $100, etc (whatever scale you decide to use). But test from very small to pretty large. You will probably see your results peak at one+ points. You might...

    Norway publicizing each taxpayer's income & wealth

    How stupid is this? Norway releases records on each taxpayer's income and wealth Norway's tax authorities, operating under a new law, have released official records showing the annual income and overall wealth of nearly every taxpayer in the country, the Associated Press reports. The...

    Investing Catechism

    Two words: Growth Expectations Traders keep forgetting that expectations is what moves a stock. When something like this comes in that impacts growth prospects up or down, the expectations change almost instantaneously.

    Making my use of stops more methodical and effective

    You 1) put a large batch of the (past) trades into a spreadsheet, showing each one's worst intratrade drawdown (also called Maximum Adverse Excursion or MAE). 2) try to equalize the value of all trades somewhat (like, a trade with 3 contracts of emini should be divided by 1/3 if being...

    New study says: Technical Analysis is garbage

    That would explain why you have constantly run away from the many dozens of people over the years who asked for proof of your returns (frankly, based on your constant claims & ramblings that have misled so many newbies. Now we see why...

    Pro Trading Course

    Seems about what I said above. "Select traders." It is about as real as a store having sales "up to 90%" off. There is one table of 90% off stuff - and it is broken, dirty returns that no one could ever get fixed... Everything else is normal prices to 10-20% off (ignoring clearance items)...

    What if in 100 years, robots can do all the work.

    How many unemployed do you know?

    And a boatload of small businesses whose Accounts Receivable is stretching to many months long with little hope of payment, cannot get credit or their financial lines are being cut/closed, and doing pro bono or at-cost work just to keep their few employees busy, owners emptying their IRAs to...

    Obama brings bi-partisanship to a whole new level

    I listened to him and he was wrong. In fact, the analysis I saw of it is that it actually created a few American jobs. Hype, Fear and Panic has no relevance to Reality.
