I am a daily user of the Epiphany Trader chatroom which uses Erik R. Kolodny's "Epiphany Method". He has been using it for 14 year and has never had a down month. He also publishes a daily blog and stock watch list at www.ErikKolodny.com. He refers to this methodology as "common sense trading.

I just referred him to this site as a contributor.

Don't use it. Is everything subject to a conspiracy theory?

Third party endorsement for someone who have exploded my trading results. I used to be a big hitter, not anymore. He has shown me how to be consistent which is a better lifestyle.

Spam. Spam.


Risk Free Trading? is there such a thing?

I use his blog because he posts the stock list and a trading plan for the day.

EXAMPLE


THURS. DEC. 4: A Real-Life China Syndrome?

So, when is 8% growth of a country’s economy a bad thing? It is the case in the present time with the place being the nation that aspires to be the world’s next superpower- China. The situation is apparently so dire that China’s top economic policy makers are holding a special meeting next week to plot how to secure growth of at least 8% in 2009. The global financial crisis is harming growth and inhibiting the creation of jobs. Annual GDP growth slowed from 10.1% in the 2nd quarter to 9% this past quarter and is forecast to be 7.3% next quarter year-on-year. The issue here is that an 8% growth rate is heralded as the minimum amount in which the Chinese economy needs to expand in order to absorb the millions of people seeking their piece of the Chinese dream in the job force. The problem if anybody remembers recent Chinese history or is paying attention to current trends in China is that there have already been growing protests by laid-off workers as well as strikes by taxi drivers which is a hint of portending social instability should the Chinese economy not be able to handle the influx of new workers. Thus, not only is bad socially for the nation, but it is bad economically as well. A more unstable China much less one which is not functioning at maximum economic force is a major negative to worldwide growth and the worldwide economy as well. Day traders must pay attention to this matter. Must. Must. Nobody is really talking about China as a major catalyst for what the market will do in the next year, but an argument can be made that the major sell-off in the States earlier in the week was precipitated by that negative report Monday morning. So, one more thing to add to the pile to keep your eyes attuned to because although China won’t affect things intra-day per se, it will be a force in the macro picture in shaping how the overall dynamic of the market acts for some time to come.

Markets in Asia were unchanged to down 1% while European bourses are up 1% to 2% across the board around 7AM ET. Bonds are up strongly and oil is down 1% yet futures are barely lower. All of the parameters surrounding everything indicate the markets here should be down a bit after the last two days of gains in particular, but the action is not being reflected. Thus, look for a little more strength early on, but if there is no initial rally, the averages will likely trend lower throughout the session.


Reiterating-If the whole story is not there -
If something is good, assume either a short thru unchanged or an A-B-A2 based on direction of the market unless specifiedIf something is bad, assume either a buy thru unchanged or an A-B-A2 (preferably to the downside in a downside market and the upside in an upside market) based on direction of the market unless specified-

it smells spam, but i did not say it is bad. there is good spam as well.

watch for stalin to erase your thread.

PS: only a minority is worth letting know of your services. Majority are deadwood. Tiny minority do not need you or I.

But your spam is good. They call it here spam, even if it is not.
 
I consider a daily watch list along with commentary to be quality content. The sad situation is that most of these boards have post of "I bought a million shares at the low and sold them at the high" "I am a great trader", etc. All useless rants. When quality content is shared, maybe it should be embraced?

Erik Kolodny has helped me immensely, just passing it along.
