I do, but I don't talk to anyone about markets anymore really - waste of time. Just read the blog a whole bunch of times whilst watching the market every day, noticing how it does the same thing over and over again (gains and loses levels) - then simply put together an approach that takes...

The Efficient Market Hypothesis is a bit of a joke when you think about it, how can one ever know that every bit of information is reflected via price? One might argue every known bit of information is reflected in the price, but known to who? There was a discussion on this recently by the...

I think we are seeing the death of this journal, it is turning into a bit of a farce. Also looks like NQ might have left us, which would be a shame as he actually contributed very usefully to this forum.

I would imagine the chances of getting a trade log are pretty much zero. There is another thread on here now that I think about it re Michelle Williams, as I said I have never been sure about Larry Williams, an interesting character for sure. He actually (assuming it is him) replies to the...

Larry is an odd one, never been sure about him if I am honest and that guy from GFF posting in this thread does not really help in that regard. Alas he has done some very impressive things in the past, like turning $10,000 into a million in a year during the World Cup in 1987. His daughter is...

Surely this is a wind up :D

There was no video course They took down the blog as it was being copied by various people and sold as a course The blog was a series of issues that explained how the market moved, it was not a 'trading system' or course as such.

Ah thanks man, that means a lot coming from you - I read every post of yours as you clearly know what you are doing :-)

So we got a small (in current environment) smack from 2878ish (I put 2874 below, no idea why, I was looking at the open/close of the 4H candles at the swing high and had 2878 in my journal, my mistake) of around 25 points before making a new high. We have now hit the big Daily level at 2964ish...

Sorry, to be clear - I said 'a new low below the 21st' - i.e. we will drop below that in the sequence of tests, so a new low below 2717ish which was made on the 21st April. I made no comment on new lows below 2178, and indeed I said we should get a new high above the 16th first (i.e. the April...

Not really posted too many times in here but think the action this week is worth noting. For the first time since this up move started on the 22nd March we closed below the swing low that gave the most recent high on the 4H (to me a swing is at least two candles on the time frame in question...

McKinsey can perhaps help us make more sense of it - "According to McKinsey as of April 10, governments across the globe had announced stimulus plans amounting to $10.6 trillion—the equivalent of eight Marshall Plans." I do not follow the funnymentals for trading decisions as I alluded to...

Looking at this another way, the Fed pumped more QE into the market over the course of a week recently than they did during the whole of QE2 during the Financial Crisis... So maybe this is not as crazy as it seems (the market move I mean, not Fed actions)? Fed are pumping hard, how long it lasts...

Sorry perhaps I was not very clear. I mean analysing the market and it's movement via TA, Order Flow, Volume Profile, liquidity flows or whatever approach of analysis it might be of the actual market itself. As opposed to looking at Economic indicators such as the ISM or Jobless Claims and then...

Not personally, no. I have found it hard though, for the first time in the years since I dumped funnymentals I have found it hard to completely ignore them. If you look back at March '09 you will find many a portfolio manager talking about the 'real economy' and how everyone was still...

I have deleted my posts as I appear to have upset some, one even went as far as to block me/put me on ignore as I tried to quote their post - all for questioning whether Biden can perform in debates. Utterly bizarre. Lesson learned re discussing politics. I think the lockdown has changed...

Getting smacked from HOD at 2836.25 so far - next level I had if we made new highs, as said above (big weekly level, Aug '19). Still think main HTF trend is up (I use 4H as an intermediate gauge) until we lose 2711, which for me is key at this point if we are to continue trending higher in...

I tend to avoid funnymentals at all costs, but it is very difficult not think of them during a time like this - not for trading purposes, but for general 'when am I likely to be able to go to the pub again?' purposes :) One thing that seems somewhat questionable is Spain/Italy easing up on the...

So the low was 2174, the exact open of the August '16 high ('2180ish') that I was referencing above, the 2120ish (2123.50 to be precise) comes from the November '16 open (post-election dump and rally). Closing above 2508.25 (look at monthly, should be self evident, technically the first target...

In my experience talking to permabears/permabulls they always seem to be driven by a need to have correctly called the turning points as a contrarian more than anything else. They do not seem too fussed about the move that will 'make money' (at least when they talk of their views) and are more...
