Quote from Lawrence Chan:

Yes. If that happens, high prob we get 2450 by monday.

But if it is the intention of the mkt to pullback, then we get the gap fill below first. =)

NQ gap fill done.

Do 3 stops work well usually? in my practice trading I am not getting good results, getting stopped out most of the time.

One week decline or sideways move, before moving to likely new highs for the year. Summer rally in contracting volatility. Time for a long vacation.:eek:

Everything has been said before. Back to my meds.

lol, I didn't notice the fill for a time as I turned off the fill reporting. Net liq was increasing before the NYSE open so that tipped me off.

Quote from Buy1Sell2:

What were the dividends during those 20 yr periods?

I thought we were talking about trading, not investing. Anyhow, the point being that not every 20 years gave a decent return with dollar cost averaging....

Any appreciable improvement in volume ratios or transports?
