    Video , why do indicator based systems fail.

    Best educational posts on the site are under Scat Man's old posts as "gnome". Read them all and take notes. He's talked about chapter one a few times: "Chapter 1 1. Pay attention. (You'd be surprised at how often THIS is a problem.) 2. Trade the charts. Look for correlations of market...

    Did Altucher fail as a trader?

    I know exactly what you mean. Let's see, this is what you posted: Altucher, are you sure you were not lying to your blog readers about trading? I think you were." That's mature? I thought you were rather rude and called you out a little teeny bit. You made a statement about your...

    Birinyi rides the bull, sees S&P 500 soaring to 1,700

    I posted the following last year on the great Birinyi: "A few years back one of the daily contributors at the dorseywright.com site did an analysis of Mr. Birinyi and his calls on TA, tops and bottoms etc. It appeared well researched, and while I have no idea of its validity, they made him...

    Larry Williams on False Break Outs

    Isn’t that pattern just a variation of the simple 3 bar swing pivot that John Hill teaches, except he’s added the close into the setup. For instance – the simple Hill 3 bar swing pivot up requires a) today’s high to be > than yesterday’s high, b) today’s low > than yesterday’s...

    So Laslo Birinyi just called the bottom on CNBC...

    A few years back one of the daily contributors at the dorseywright.com site did an analysis of Mr. Birinyi and his calls on TA, tops and bottoms etc. It appeared well researched, and while I have no idea of its validity, they made him (Birinyi) out to be very wishy washy and vacillating...

    Don't B Stupid when it come to AAPL

    You can see that AAPL triggered a buy signal on 3/11/08 when it broke the first internal channel trendline. Its accumulation base created a breakout price objective of approximately $165. Given that it reached a high of $159.69 on 4/7/08 after four consecutive higher low swings within its...

    I'm tired of IRS paperwork every year -- We Need a Change Now!

    Local/state and federal taxes are different animals. If you live in a state like mine where there is no income tax, and Jeff and Joe live in homes valued apx. the same, then they are going to pay about the same in property tax. Let's say they are both tight wads and generate about the...

    Hello Mark, For some reason, I always thought you did not use indicators in your mechanical systems. Can you discuss the indicators you have found to be of value? TIA GF

    Hello Pneuma, Outstanding! If you don't mind, was this particular system intra day or end of day? TIA Gary

    Potential Wyckoff springs = BUY?

    Recently been watching to see how springs play out with two to five bars between the swings. Out of the entire stock universe on TC2000 it has been very slim the last couple of weeks. 2 bars between pivot lows with mo today - CHD 4 bars between pivot lows with mo today - DNA MSEX 5...

    Potential Wyckoff springs = BUY?

    Thank you sir. That's how I am looking at springs too. As I'm sure you know, in Mr. Hill's first booklets, he wanted the close to be above the first pivot low, but he doesn't now. Just break the high as you pointed out. As I'm a greenhorn still backtesting and looking for edges- I...
