ok...so what did i do with VMW?...i had a GTC at 78...it went right thru it and when i finally got my butt to the PC this am it was at 71 sumpin...so i doubled up at 72.25...guess we closed that gap, ey?...sheese!
good morning...busy weekend...new puppy...Ifly and general everything else...
right mattie, no need to be able to recite what makes up an indicator...you need to know What it's indicating (momo, cycle, trend, etc) and know When (crosses elevation, etc.)...
with everything happening at years end, i haven't put a lot of effort in it to be honest...but there is something you may be able to help me with...when i am assembling the syntax, which is the best for data flow? eg: do i write syntax as, "the high six days ago is greater than the high today" OR "todays high is lower than the high six days ago"...does it matter?? i'm trying to combine refine different parameters...sometimes i get nothing back...TIA!
mattie i don't short....i think it stems from my early mc road racing days in that you didn't win unless you had superior forward motion...there's not a racer in the world that ever wanted to win a race because every other racer crashed and for some twisted logic, that what shorting feels like to me...
i don't know the ratio between short drops vs USETFs is...but i held SKF for a few days in november and a few other times i can't remember, including QID and some others...
on VMW, draw a btm trendline on the weekly then compare that to the gap left open on the daily...that's where i am.
the only wrong question is the one not asked.
have a great weekend!
ok..at least you didn't spend any page cacheing...
in a market like this you need to think in the long inverse: ultrashort ETFs...
over the last two days....
SRS +$16/shr
SKF +$7/shr
TWM +$5/shr
bad trading days are your own fault....just follow the money on either side...
disclaimer: i didn't hold any of those, this time.
we should see a gap fill monday on VMW... :)
i'll be out for a bit...don't spend all your money! lol
i want to make everyone aware that mattie633 is the board's new director of internal affairs, JK, it's not that serious, but she will add balance and have the same authority for controlling the posting content so that Grip Ripe does not become a springer show. Give her a Hoot when you see her!
C10, you've always shared what you've been doing, you've never pretended to be someone you're not and you don't panhandle and you contribute in other ways that are appreciated...i will warn you that hanging around us may become a bit borgish and you may be assimilated and begin thinking in ways you thought were too complex before...but i certainly don't want you to feel that you have to hang from the same branch to be here...so there!
i rarely look at profit/loss until the eod unless i'm trying to bring it to peeps attention(kinda like that kenny rogers song and counting money at the table)...it is not displayed in my streaming portfolio...i am fixated on direction and whether or not the trade is behaving as i painted it...i don't think an artist even sees his canvas until he's done...a lot of times i am surprised when i look back and see the results...but when i have watched it like a pot of non-boiling water, is when it screws with my head the most...lol
ROTFLMAO!...that was funny!
ah...gotchya!
remove?...why not just cancel the post, originally?
ya gotta be that way with this pig...especially when you hear the old familiar tune from quasi identities...but i'd still watch it for a move above 1.68 to rebuy it...just in case it is front running, but i think there is too much "coincidence" for that at the moment...
good for you...i am bailing here at 1.66...may re-up at close, but we'll see...i really hate it when bcon makes me flip it...it's such a fickle little piggy...
well that must have been a hard hold from 12/20, but you got grip and that's all that matters!
thought i felt some rumbling on that egg i've been sitting on...lol...meek volume though....
it's a great hold...13+ billion dollar backlog...my only regret was helping certain people with it, that didn't deserve it...i'm looking for a forward split here soon, i think it's due.
yeah, i'm not sure...i want to see how the day closes...bcon is famous for blow offs and there are certain people that have an uncanny insight and make seemingly profoundly accurate statements...i've 'worked' alongside of broker/dealers that did the same thing...so we'll see...
JEC is up 5.30...lol....
out OII $4.93/shr.
in ALTI @4.61, btw....not as robust, but nice patterns.
i went in at 1.55...
looks like it may be front running...
in PEIX 8.58
i do like the charts...don't know why it's not more popular, but at least they're not screwing their investors into the ground like bcon...
i also can't believe JEC isn't in sympathy...hmmmm
in DYN @ 7.41...
lol...i know the feeling, it's "shoot me, just shoot me now"...
and i can't believe that VMW is down only 85c when the dow was off 266 and the naz off 50!...i want that fruit hanging at 78!!
both the weekly lower trend and daily gap support that!
yes i am...i still think it'll be a go and it's not like i have a fortune in it (though i should get a bit of a fortune from it)...and at least it's trading sideways instead of constantly sinking like bcon...it will be an interesting year...lot's of stuff going on!
btw mattie, the instructions for posting images are now in the iBox...use the imageshack version...
yeah, what, they missed it by a penny???...figured if it was heading north while the market is tanking, there's an underlying reason...certainly is over extended...and the TA ain't so bad...
it's a pretty thang ain't it??...also took a seat in RVBD @27.62
oh yeah...too many other opps to have a bunch of core stocks...and i don't have another page to link them to anyway...
now RVBD is starting to spank me, but i'll hang...QII is up 1.51 on the entry so far...
poor bcon...may go hunting the lower trend...
in OII 70.05...
DYN ready to recycle?...OII may break the upper trend today, i'll be there if it does.
i know in gene's eyes, he believes that bacon qualifies within the DOE's Innovative Technology Loan Guarantee Program...but he has also told me that it's bcon's policy to keep us in the dark about anything they're doing until it either succeeds or fails...i'm wishful, but i ain't holdin my breath...
and $5.4m is going to be spread amongst the qualified innovative candidates?...doesn't seem like much of a loan backup...am i reading this right? i haven't had my coffee yet...
(the doxie comes from AKC champions...they are called "piebald" for the coloring. this boy has a "laced" coat, which is really, really cool...i'll put up a pic of it if you want to see it.)
any percentage of loss you are willing to accept must be accounted from the funds used to make that trade...2% is pretty tight in today's volatile market, imo...
i would not trade the same security across four accounts...i wouldn't sleep either if i had cash in four accounts holding overnite on the same security...
depending on the stock, the market, the TA and the probability, i typically look for underlying weakness or pattern failure before i bail...but i am usually a little early to the party, so pattern failure for me typically leaves me just a tip or a wash.
my2bitz...
see post #1768...it's been under review...if it fails the set-up 1.30, perhaps even 1.20 worst case...
here's my stab....
1. yes, but i can't remember which or where (it's been a long time)
2. positive divergence and short term ascending triangles.
3. it could be circa 1.50, but i have some other lines at 1.30 if the H&S fails...
that's good information, but i also feel it is a bit short sighted in regards to candle patterns...
iHub is chock full of many technicians and traders...each with their own method and approach...truly makes the forest hard to see at times, but is a plethora of good information.
well howdy gang!...hope the holidays were great for you...it's really tough on me when i walk away for a while and try to pick things up where i left off...feel really displaced, but it will come back...
here's the latest addition to the family for the new year. we will be picking him up on 12/5 from one of the top doxie breeders in the country...his sister has him currently pinned beneath her...
Teah said he would buy us lunch on his end of the week scalp on N.
