Sharp, Just to keep this thread small and relevant to Monday and Tuesday's forecast I will suggest posting analysis of friday's chart on the other thread. Do not in any way interpret this as avoiding any kind of discussion. 2. Please read the guidelines to use the forecast in first post of this thread. As these are valid for this. 3. The analysis of wether I made money or lost money on friday is posted on the other thread. I have shown how I made 30% in options on friday and approx $1000 in Futures trading on friday, including wrong signal (which FYI I did not play as market action did not convince me) Abhay

Do you know where I got this from? The Interview How did you get started in trading? I have a really interesting story on how I got interested in the markets. I went to college, like most everyone else, and I graduated with a degree in business and economics. I moved out to the Philadelphia area and worked as a claims adjuster for Prudential Property and Casualty Insurance Company. I was just a wage slave. One of my hobbies at the time was fishing. Every weekend I would pack up my rod and reel and go to the river, stream, or ocean. On one of these trips, I met a guy who was about my age. I noticed he was wearing very expensive Italian leather shoes. I thought, âWhy is this guy wearing these shoes while heâs fishing?â I also noticed he was driving a new Jaguar, a car I wanted but could not afford on my salary as a claims adjuster. I wondered how this guy was able to afford these things, so I started talking to him. He explained to me that he was a "trader." Not knowing what that was, I asked him some more questions, and he explained further that he traded the OEX index. While in college, in the weeks leading up to and during the crash in 1987, he turned $10,000 into over $900,000. That really perked my interest in the markets. I asked him if heâd teach me, and he took me under his wing. His approach to the markets was so unusual. First of all, he was an astrologer. He was an astrologer? Right. And he was also really into Gann Analysis. He used a Gann Wheel, and claimed he used it to predict the â87 crash. Of course I thought it was insane. I just didnât believe it. But then he took me to his house and showed me where he lived, and I was very impressed. He taught me his way of reading the market: Gann, Elliot Wave, and astrology.
Yes, idea was to hsow that I traded this forecast and made money from it and that was a good % in 2 days.
I believe there are better avenues to learn how neural nets could help your trading. I believe abhaystack is very keen to get subscribers to his website. As an aside, good educators emphasis (no matter what their techniques) is on discipline and risk control, not %winners or $$ made.
Is anyone going to short this market today? According to PulseScan this E-mini S&P 500 Futures contract has had it!!! We could see some major selling in the September contract today. I included a copy of the PulseScan Swing VIX Indicator. You may find it helpful.
