11:23 Henry: Shelli, thatisa Head and shoulders
11:24 Henry: I think
11:24 Shelli Patience: it may be
11:24 Shelli Patience: also looks like possible cup n handle
11:24 Henry: If so, where should it resolve ?
11:25 Shelli Patience: 5.25 from break of neckline
11:25 Shelli Patience: so h-l and then subtract from low
11:26 Shelli Patience: H=800 L=794.75
11:26 Shelli Patience: so 794.75-5.25
11:27 Henry: 789.50 is the exact 50% retrace
11:27 Shelli Patience: yes
11:27 DonB.: http://206.71.64.13:12001/graphics/wed/HF536766-16.png
11:27 Shelli Patience: and would produce a nice abcd
11:28 Shelli Patience: however neckline has to break
11:28 DonB: If the AB=CD line follows through, the H&S would be completed
11:28 DonB: just a guess
11:28 Shelli Patience: we also need to be aware of the abcd up also just in case
11:29 DonB: will try a sell at 800 (on paper)
11:29 Shelli Patience: http://www.tradingtutor.com/charts/2009-04-01 11-29 ES #F 2.png
11:29 DonB: true
11:30 Shelli Patience: one thing you always want to do is draw any of the possibilities that could happen so your ready one way or the other
11:31 DonB: the proper selling point for the H&S would be around 796.25 - 796.50 I would think
11:31 Shelli Patience: moot point now
11:31 Shelli Patience: I like to look for the neckline break
11:32 DonB: :) going with the AB=CD.
11:33 Henry: http://206.71.64.13:12001/graphics/wed/AK891488-32.png

12:25 PDQ: Here's another version of market timing by Joe Ross.........
12:28 koolblue: one covered at 802.75...plus 1.5... still short the other..stop at 805.50
12:29 megatron1981: be back in 10
12:29 LordAlfa: current 1 min 1 bar proj 01.25
12:29 koolblue: looking to cover the other as close to 800.50 as I can tho lower is very possible!
12:30 LordAlfa: 802.
12:30 LordAlfa: 99.25
12:31 LordAlfa: 1 off 802
12:33 LordAlfa: stop 05.25
12:33 koolblue: stop on the remaining short lowered to break even at 804.25
12:34 LordAlfa: MACD is flat. it can go either way.
12:34 LordAlfa: On the 5 min
12:35 LordAlfa: current 1 min proj up 04.25
12:36 LordAlfa: If it goes up there and swings down, makes an ABC downward.
12:37 LordAlfa: actually 50% retrace from is complete. So the abc can be valid. If there is 2 bars down on the 610T chart.
12:38 VO: flat 1.50
12:38 LordAlfa: 127.2=799.25
12:38 koolblue: out the other half at 801.50
12:38 LordAlfa: stop 04
12:39 koolblue: plus 2.75 on that one....
12:39 koolblue: now up 5.25 on the day
12:40 megatron1981: b @ 801
12:42 LordAlfa: current 1 min up proj 02.50
12:44 koolblue: megatron what stops are you using for these .5 - 100 trades?
12:44 megatron1981: if im scalping I usually use 1.5 - 2 points, but when buying off floor levels, it's 3 points,
12:45 koolblue: for a 1 handle profit?!!??
12:45 LordAlfa: megatron, are you basing your entries on the Sochastic 14,3,3 Xover?
12:45 megatron1981: yes, I win like 80% of the time so my expected profit for scalps is 0.50 or so
12:46 megatron1981: no, floor levels using big contract S&P futures
12:46 koolblue: thats a risk reward of NEGATIVE 2:1 !!!!
12:46 megatron1981: but I win 80 -90% of the time
12:46 koolblue: NOT TODAY!
12:47 LordAlfa: Means if you lose 2 pt, you need to make 4 trades to BE
12:47 megatron1981: im still up slighty, not as much as I was before I got stopped out for 3 points
12:47 megatron1981: :(
12:47 John: At 80%, though, your break even risk-reward is at 4 to 1?
12:48 megatron1981: I only scalp like 2 - 3 times a day, most of my trading is quasi-swing moves
12:48 PT: what's your win % if you use a 1 point stop ?
12:49 koolblue: good luck, pal!
12:49 koolblue: paper trading is much easier than real!!!
12:49 megatron1981: no idea man, I usually use 3 point stops for swing moves -
12:49 PT: 2 ticks is not a swing
12:50 megatron1981: "quasi"
12:50 PT: 2 ticks is noise
12:50 megatron1981: to me it's a swing :) sclaping is 0.25 - .75 imho
12:50 jimmy: you can make money in noise
12:51 PT: ok
12:51 koolblue: on paper, jimmy, not in real trading!
12:51 LordAlfa: stop 02.50
12:52 jimmy: real trading too
12:52 megatron1981: I agree, im far too conservative in real trading - with time hopefully it'll get better
12:54 PT: the average range is 30 points, why trade for 2 ticks ?
12:54 PT: in this volatility , you should be going for 2 points minimum
12:55 VO: different strokes for different folks
12:56 megatron1981: exactly
12:56 icepick: wouldnt a 3 point stop on 2 ticks be a 6:1 risk/ reward? regardless of win %, yikes !!!!
12:57 PT: risking 3 points to make 2 ticks is not mathemetically sound, unless you are at 100% win rate
12:57 LordAlfa: It ok. As long as you make profit. Just that you should ask your broker for free lunch everyday.
12:57 jimmy: huge risk wil never work ,
12:57 PT: math is math
12:57 PT: no amount of delusion will change the math
12:58 jimmy: absolutely right
12:59 icepick: PT, "trading in the zone" really made me look at things differently, I would strongly recommend that book to anyone willing to honestly analyze their trading

The big drop foreshadows a huge decline in the non-farm payroll reading in the government's employment report that will be released on Friday, some analysts said.

12:20 LordAlfa: This what CharterJoe posted.
12:20 LordAlfa: I have an off topic question. I placed a buy at 812.25 on the ES, and placed a sell of 5 cons at 813.25 there were 230 orders on the dom when I placed the trade. How did over 1000 trade at that price before I was taken are there hidden orders on the DOM, why was my 5 cons pushed back until the price almost ran through it? There was plenty of time and order flow to take the order is it my brokers fault or is order placement not first come first serve?
12:21 karen: good question alfa...that has also happened to me
12:21 LordAlfa: It happened to me on Monday. Palmer saw that. Just one contract. Sitting there and was hit so many times even Mike Tyson would have fallen.
12:22 LordAlfa: I was shouting like (*&^&*%%& to buy this PIG for so many sentences.
12:22 karen: extremely frustrating
12:23 LordAlfa: The rest of Monday, I took back using Buy/Sell bid which was more reliable than the Limit order. Almost like a video game. Looking and the ticker and hitting the button.
12:24 VO: stop be
12:25 VO: 20.75 is 78.6 of abc
12:26 karen: that has happened to me, even when I trade only 1 contract

12:28 VO: flat 20.50

13:13 bruce9432: Just get another puter
13:14 LordAlfa: I have 2 servers with 24GB RAM using Linux.
13:14 LordAlfa: My XP is only for trading.
13:14 LordAlfa: One of my servers is running VM with Ninja recording data.
13:15 prestwickdrive: bye
13:16 LordAlfa: See ya Kool
13:16 bruce9432: I was going to get the beta of Windows 7 but found out that once the actual release came out you couldn't transfer anything
13:19 LordAlfa: Windows 7 is not worth it. I am running it under my Linux VM. It is a Vista stripped out. Why would I pay for something that was the same without the bells and whsitles
13:20 kenga: 22.50 should be res now
13:21 LordAlfa: stop 23.75
13:21 kenga: we are back under yes hi
13:21 bruce9432: It's the bells and whistles that I am tired of, i.e. it questions every move I make
13:21 kenga: 21.50 should show support
13:22 LordAlfa: stop 22.50
13:23 karen: just curious, do any of you keep stats on all your trades?
13:23 karen: regarding success/failure rate, entries, etc
13:24 LordAlfa: Bruce it is the windowing. It is way too slow. Tried to be like Mac and gets no where. Linux enlightment windowing is so much faster and lighter.
13:24 LordAlfa: flat 22.50
13:24 PopStocks: I do, but I don't scalp these days, I swing trade so it is easy to keep stats
13:24 LordAlfa: +8.75
13:25 karen: thks pop
13:26 bruce9432: LA what's the income tax rate over there?
13:26 LordAlfa: Well I don't have an official income. So Zilch. Cap Gains is tax free. Means profits from trading is free.
13:27 bruce9432: which leads me to my second question, what are rents like?
13:28 LordAlfa: I pay myself as a salary from my self employment to get tax benefits and well below the taxable bracket (classifying myself as poverty) I don't declare my trading profits.
13:28 LordAlfa: My wife is fully employed and I get credit cards from her name.
13:29 bruce9432: No way can you do that here, if you try jack booted thugs come through the front door
13:29 LordAlfa: Rents? Depends where? City, Suburbs, way-off. Government subsidised or private
13:31 LordAlfa: My wife gets tax relief for supporting a "bum husband" with 3 kids.
13:31 LordAlfa: All perfectly within legal guidelines.
13:32 LordAlfa: My company is a "bus for hire"
13:33 bruce9432: So the broker doesn't report P & L to the state. In the U.S. they report it and you better declare it.
13:33 LordAlfa: Nope. They don't report to my government. But I will keep records if they "want me exposed" but I am a small fish.
13:34 palmer: sloooooooooooow

14:12 LordAlfa: I have a joke of a Porsche 928 owner. Gone skiing. Car did not have chains.
14:13 palmer: silver 12.885
14:13 LordAlfa: The slope out of the ski resort is a 5* incline. He couldn't go up for 200m.
14:13 karen: lol
14:14 karen: just curious...where is everybody from....PT/VO/kool?
14:14 LordAlfa: He reversed the car to go up. Changed his rear wheel drive car to become a "front wheel drive". he reversed for a good 1.5 km (about 1 mile)

14:57 palmer: I was waiting for them to call g 51 lol
14:57 parson: :-0
15:03 LordAlfa: took like 3 hours to make a 10 pt move. This volume is low.
15:04 palmer: blew thru that
15:04 palmer: here comes lod
15:04 karen: #1 local in the pit...heavy on the offer, just walked into the pit a few minutes ago
15:05 karen: and starts shorting
15:05 karen: lol yep...if I'm long and I hear he walks in, I get out of his way
15:05 karen: rofl PT
15:05 karen: not sure, but I tend to think so
15:05 karen: they won't say his name
15:06 John: They want those 810 stops.
15:06 karen: he walks in, makes his money in about 20 min and leaves...sort of like a bully, just offers, even if the entire pit is long, shorts, covers and leaves
15:06 karen: with his bags of money
15:07 karen: lol, me too
15:07 karen: let's show him!!
15:07 karen: who's the real #1
15:08 palmer: we eatting out a inside day it seem
15:09 karen: #1 started selling at 815.50's...still short
15:09 karen: he is basically the offer right now
15:09 karen: k, will do
15:09 palmer: wow he is big muscle
15:10 karen: that's why they call him #1
15:10 LordAlfa: Where did he have the money from? Obama?
15:10 palmer: karen he works for GS?
15:11 karen: no, he's an independent local on the floor in Chicago
15:11 karen: the #1 local, big money, big muscle, who loves to short
15:11 palmer: wow that's some heavy muscle if he can move us
15:12 karen: he's trading the big contract
15:12 karen: in the pits...he's still short
15:12 LordAlfa: The new short rules should be applicable to him then
15:12 palmer: no LA - then it would apply to us
15:13 LordAlfa: Most pessimists will short. Optimists will look for long signals. I have observed this trait of traders.
15:14 karen: go VO/PT....you show him who's boss!!
15:14 LordAlfa: In a bear market like this pessimists rule.
15:15 bruce9432: Doesn't matter to me as long as it moves
15:16 LordAlfa: Its like a right or left hander preference. We can go both ways but some prefer up some prefer down. If you check on your trading records, you might see a reflection of yourself.
15:18 LordAlfa: Some have more confidence when the short instead of going long. And this reflects the optimistic of pessimistic nature of the trader.
15:18 bruce9432: better yet, I will turn my screen 90 degrees and instead of long or short go left and right
15:21 palmer: 15 min had perfect 7 waves up
15:21 palmer: them bam

15:28 LordAlfa: I am not ashamed of my height. I even danced with girls taller than me.
15:29 LordAlfa: they give that strange look and I will reply, It is the feet not the height

18:34 karen: I'll be back in a bit to reassess
18:38 kenga: vo are you here?
20:29 Margie: Is this a gimmee going off?
20:31 karen: not sure margie, but watching this move
20:31 Margie: thanks Karen
20:32 karen: the nikkei is opening soon I think, their futures are very green
20:32 karen: maybe that's why this pop
21:09 VO: PT cant be happy...well thankfully I pulled my order at 26.25 and put in a small sell at 33.50 if they can get it there...161.8 of this move
21:13 VO: there will be risk to 38.75...the 261.8 of abc and 200 of swing, so I will use a small stop of 35
21:14 karen: I agree VO
21:15 karen: nikkei is very strong right now
21:20 VO: r u short karen?
21:21 karen: no, covered my short at 24.75
21:21 karen: grabbed a quick long scalp from 825 to 826.25
21:21 VO: yeah...sorry bout that
21:21 karen: flat for now
21:21 karen: never apologize...it was my idea
21:22 karen: not a big stop for me, and gained some profit back from my long
21:22 karen: so sitting fairly neutral for now
21:22 VO: o good for you....buying - what any rational person should be doing
21:22 karen: well, I've learned that over time, don't fight the trend, I could really see strength on the buy side
21:23 karen: now salivating for a short
21:23 karen: but will watch for now
21:23 karen: flurry of volume seems to have slowed a bit
21:27 VO: well I missed all the volume...but I also have timing coming in soon...doubt they get it to where I need them to before they pull it back
21:28 karen: you're looking for 33.50?
21:29 VO: maybe karen...would like to see em get it there rather soon before they pull it back
21:29 VO: dont think that plays out though
21:30 VO: if it does im a seller
21:34 karen: I will too, if I'm still awake
21:42 VO: the more I look at the charts, the more they keep saying we need more pullback...from a bigger perpective
21:42 karen: you mean in this globex session, or overall?
21:43 VO: I could be totally wrong...but I think somehow someway we find ourselves down in the 770-780 area at minimum
21:44 VO: no karen...from abigger picture
21:44 karen: oh I agree with you VO on a longer term basis
21:45 karen: earnings season will provide lots of reason for nervousness I'm sure, we get into the heart of that next week
21:45 karen: we will break 800...I feel very sure of that
21:45 karen: tomorrow volume will likely be fairly light in front of the holiday friday
21:47 karen: I want globex to push through 30 soon, I'd like to put one more trade on
21:47 karen: then it's off to bed for me
21:48 VO: yeah what a pisser....why cant we have nice volume swings everyday
21:49 karen: nature of this crazy beast
21:49 karen: I don't like the low volume days, price action gets so whippy
21:58 VO: doesnt suit my fancy either karen
21:59 VO: look at gold...hasnt been very tradable in the last week...no volume
22:00 karen: haven't really followed gold, and haven't traded it
22:02 karen: ok come on globex....wake up
22:14 karen: calling it a day, goodnight VO, c u tomorrow
22:25 VO: see you tomorrow karen

20:31 VO: for u plsing at home this is kools gimme
20:32 VO: I haven't seen it not work...hope this isnt a first
20:40 VO: 52.75 is good enuff for me...small loser
20:40 VO: I already have order at 58.25 to sell if they can get it there
20:43 VO: change order to 59.25
22:18 Vast524: What news came out at 10pm?
22:22 VO: not sure vast...but it sure pisses me off that I bailed at 52.75
22:23 Vast524: Seems very unusual for it to plummet 8pts in a few minutes
22:23 VO: u short?
22:23 Vast524: Nope. Once I new PT was in I chickened out. lol
22:24 VO: makes sense...
22:24 VO: hes bad luck with globex
22:24 Vast524: I feel sorry for teh guy. He really has no luck with it. He would have got stopped again I would think
22:25 VO: reming me not to talk him in to anymore globex trades with me
22:25 Vast524: lol
22:25 Vast524: I don't think there will be a problem with that anymore
22:26 VO: not sure...poor fella doesnt give up easy
22:27 Vast524: Can't find any news, but seems really odd at the hour it just dropped 4.5pts 1667 contract went through in the minute
22:28 VO: once the stops hit it gets quick
22:28 Vast524: Still some volume going through now.
22:29 VO: yup...globex usually has a few hours where it moves...esp. of late
22:32 VO: thing about globex is when it actually moves you get stops hit that makes the moves sharp and quick
22:33 VO: and then you watch paint dry the rest of the time
22:34 Vast524: lot sizes of 44 an d49 seem popular
22:35 Vast524: Well I am going to try and get some sleep. Good luck if you get short VO.
22:35 VO: laters
22:41 PopStocks: hey
22:42 PopStocks: vo, you called that crash alright
22:43 PopStocks: just forgot to mention it started at 855 : )
22:45 John: VO, it was the Chinese GDP report.
22:47 John: Funny, it was better on all counts, too. I guess they priced in a blowout...
22:48 PopStocks: china was being criticized of doing something funky with their currency too, forgot the particulars
22:48 PopStocks: event:url=http://tinyurl.com/c7u9ut
22:49 PopStocks: that doesn't say it was better on all counts
22:49 PopStocks: for the sake of my puts I hope they can drag this down < 830, thatid rule
22:56 VO: well pops I added at a beautiful price and then bailed for a small loser right when that pop happened
22:58 LordAlfa: Pop it might. 15 min whole move projects 829.25
22:58 LordAlfa: we still have that 25.50 outstanding
22:59 PopStocks: why I can't trade globex vo
23:00 LordAlfa: current 15 up proj 51.50
23:00 PopStocks: if this can gap down it will create an amazing panic sell me thinks
23:00 LordAlfa: Let's see what the European crowd will do at 3am.
23:02 PopStocks: theres some semi companies and nokia and jpm before the bell
23:03 LordAlfa: Nokia earnings will be down. My bet. I worked there for 11 years. The new mobile kid is RIM.
23:04 PopStocks: if intel didn't do all that well can't imagine farchild will either
23:04 PopStocks: tech was laggard all day today too
23:04 PopStocks: so maybe tech can through a spanner in whatever "great news" jpm wants to dish out
23:10 PopStocks: throw

23:53 PopStocks: fully
23:53 LordAlfa: until 3 am where the Euro crowd comes into kick this thing again.
23:53 PopStocks: it's all air up here
23:54 LordAlfa: I'll buy 46 for another scalp

consolidation. I doubt we get a major move here, so it could be sideways-to-down; if we are down into the 2:40-3:00
timeframe, I would be looking for signs of a rally in the final hour. otherwise, not a ton going on here, my next post will

09:51 Robin: good morning everyone :)
09:51 Robin: :55: the futures are trading to the downside in pre-open, currently suggesting an SPX CASH open around the 855 level,
plus or minus. with the gap opening to the downside, first resistance will be Friday's 869-875 range, which encompasses
both the close and the intraday high there; higher resistance will be firm at the 880 figure. support won't come in until the
853 weekly projected support low, plus or minus, and then the 838-841 range below that. short-term, the probabilities
favor weakness into late-Tuesday or early-Wednesday, and - depending on the action - this selling could trigger a 10 and
20 day down phase in force. if that were to end up as the case, then a rally off a mid-week low would bounce, but would
not take out the swing high that was just registered. from the comments made in recent outlooks, there is also a 45-day
down phase due to assume control into approximately mid-May. intraday today, the probabilities seem to favor weakness
into the first 1-2 hours, which may play out with a quick low in the first 15-30 min, quick bounce into 10:15-ish, then lower
again into 11:05-12:00. from there, we may try a bounce of an hour or two. here is the hourly cycle/channel chart updated
to Friday's close:

15:25 PopStocks: possible stop run to 835, continued by mega selloff into close, 822 ish
15:25 parson: PopS, that sounds about right to me, also.
15:26 PopStocks: conversely they could run it down to 822 here, and then maybe pop it up to 830 towards close
15:26 PopStocks: either way I would not want to go long here

16:14 VO: I knew there was a good buy down there
16:14 PopStocks: trading around 840's tomorrow morning is realistic I think, unless overseas flips out and drags globex down, which is also realistic

16:26 VO: hoping we see it all tonight...has been their MO from our low
16:26 VO: would rather see them take care of it tonight then we can have more down tomorrow
16:26 PopStocks: VO I need a coors light got one?
16:27 PT: volume today wasn't overly impressive

16:29 PopStocks: actually 3rd highest volume day of past 20 days
16:29 dda: Nasdaq most of the volume is in JAVA (Sun micro.)
16:29 PT: ok
16:29 PT: well
16:29 PT: what about ES ?
16:29 PopStocks: but I agree it was lower in ES than it coulda been
16:30 PopStocks: 1mom I have to code up something to get the ES stats
16:35 PopStocks: http://twitpic.com/3o9wd/full
16:35 PopStocks: there you go PT
16:35 PopStocks: looks to be fairly big as well
16:37 PopStocks: 3rd highest of past 2 weeks, not too shabby
16:38 PT: yep , thanks Pops
16:39 PopStocks: how do you like my 822 line on the chart "Come to Me"

16:39 PopStocks: np PT
16:40 PopStocks: dda even looking at the nyse, same deal
16:40 PopStocks: big volume, big down day, took out last weeks low, vix back where it should be, 870's feels like a dream, I could go on and on
16:45 PopStocks: helpful link: http://www.market-harmonics.com/free-charts/sentiment/investors_intelligence.htm
16:48 PopStocks: ouch!!! http://stockcharts.com/c-sc/sc?s=$INDU&p=5&yr=0&mn=0&dy=20&i=p65262815085&a=63139877&r=297
16:48 John: Right back in the bullish range of all previous intermediate tops in this bear.
16:48 PopStocks: http://stockcharts.com/c-sc/sc?s=$INDU&p=D&yr=1&mn=1&dy=10&i=p97089752544&a=77373705&r=8
16:48 PopStocks: rejected!
16:54 VO: I dont at all free comfortable getting long here but I did...l @ 33.25
16:54 John: http://www.market-harmonics.com/free-charts/sentiment/obsg.htm
16:56 John: http://www.market-harmonics.com/free-charts/volume/shortupdownvol.htm
16:56 John: Look at the third chart.
16:57 PopStocks: the relative upside/downside john?
16:58 John: Yes, note the extreme. Chart goes back to '04.
16:58 John: Many sentiment readings are extreme.
17:00 John: On the previous link showing OBSG, it is right back almost to the highest levels in this bear.
17:00 John: The issue is, this may be due for a bigger bounce, and hence a new extreme for these sentiment gauges for this bear.
17:01 PopStocks: not betting on a bigger bounce
17:01 John: Point is, most sentiment gauges are at the point that has turned it back down in this bear, right at the area pops showed on his chart.
17:02 PopStocks: not for at least 2 weeks
17:02 PopStocks: gotcha
17:02 PopStocks: I know that oscillators will bang up against their walls when things really are reversing, but I just don't see it yet
17:03 PopStocks: here's a good one, OEX to SPX ratio on a daily chart, have a look if you can code it up
17:04 PopStocks: actually that is one of my fav signals, 80% success over past 10 years.. 2 weeks downside min
17:04 PopStocks: meaning on average you will get at least 2 down weeks after that ratio peaks, and in most cases it takes out the past 2 weeks lows
17:05 PopStocks: I will post a pic in a min
17:05 PopStocks: anyone here listening to me?
17:06 John: I am.
17:06 John: I can't code it so I need a chart.
17:07 PopStocks: ok just checking
17:07 PopStocks: one min
17:07 John: Every time in this bear the % of stocks over their 50 dma went over 70% it dumped. It is now at 89% over.
17:08 PopStocks: yup
17:08 PopStocks: plus nasdaq 100 stocks already have turned around as of friday
17:08 PopStocks: it's a given imo
17:08 PopStocks: 800 min
17:08 PopStocks: http://twitpic.com/3oc7v/full
17:08 PopStocks: there's your chart John
17:09 PopStocks: just 5 years becaus 10 or 29 would be congested, but i'm telling you honestly, it give %80 success as far as what I described
17:09 PopStocks: 10 or 20
17:09 PopStocks: not saying it means a huge sell off will ensue, but I expect weakness at least 2 weeks out
17:10 John: How is the indicator generated again?
17:10 PopStocks: seems to work a lot better for short signals, don't trust it for longs
17:10 PopStocks: all it is is this : weekly close of oex divided by weekly close of spx
17:10 PopStocks: plain and simple
17:12 PopStocks: I love cycles, fibs, etc, but some things just work and I will trust certain things over other voodoo
17:12 John: But oex/spx is about .5, your indicator ranges from 40 to -70 or so?
17:13 PopStocks: here is the full code: declare lower;
plot Data = (close("spx")/close("oex"))-average(close("spx")/close("oex"),14);
plot t = 0.020;
plot tt = -0.020;
17:13 PopStocks: so there you have it, a system I brewed up that kicks serious ass, and is dead simple, have fun selling it on ebay for $1000 : )
17:14 John: I see.
17:16 John: Basically when the broader market outperforms for very long, it dumps.
17:17 PopStocks: yup
17:17 PopStocks: plain and simple
17:17 PopStocks: the more simple the better
17:17 John: Very cool, though.
17:17 PopStocks: that's what make a good system
17:18 PopStocks: yeah and you are probably the only one here paying any attention to me so consider yourself lucky : )
17:18 PopStocks: that code is really easy, even if you don't code you can figure it out yourself
17:19 PopStocks: theoretically I guess it means that big caps drive the market, small caps follow, small caps rise on fumes while big caps are distributing, smalls keep rising and people get suckered, then bigs give out and the whole sham is complete
17:23 gila1: pop stocks do use trade station
17:24 PopStocks: nah I use think or swim lately
17:24 gila1: ok
17:24 PopStocks: how come?
17:34 PopStocks: well gnight yall

13:04 bruce9432: THE FED
Quiet, you'll disturb the recovery
No bombshells expected from two-day FOMC meeting
By Greg Robb, MarketWatch
Last update: 3:04 p.m. EDT April 28, 2009Comments: 55WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Like parents watching over a sleeping newborn, Federal Reserve officials will go out of their way not to make any announcement or take any action that would disturb what they hope is a nascent recovery underway, analysts said.
Fed officials Tuesday afternoon started their two-day closed-door meeting to examine their aggressive efforts in the past year to end the crippling recession. A statement is expected to be released shortly after 2pm Eastern on Wednesday.
