Bro: You are offering nothing in this thread except tales of your grandiosity. Maybe AMT's offerings are crap or hard to understand or invalid or whatever. Let the readers make their own decisions. I'm sure some have found some value on AMT's posts that they can someday aspire to use in their trading. As for your offerings, please do start your own curb stock or QQQ or whatever in another thread and explain your methods. Maybe you can draw a little respect from readers that way. If you want to question the method, question it with some arguments or opinions, not with tales of past posting bets without any reason or method or saying "I have a holy grail proprietary secret crap" in a DIFFERENT instrument. Did your parents beat you up as a child or what?. JW
Yesterday's upper Delta Zone sell opportunities........... http://www.charthub.com/images/2009/06/12/ESCD_Sep.png
I got my 20 pt fills this morning...sold the 54s yesterday!!! Next week the rug will go up in flames!
Thanks for posting this.. interesting... I will ask the same question in a different way... How many times have you seen this where you having Selling Inventory and the market rips up into it in bullish spikes for over 10 days... and then sells off...??? or breaks out in a bull move... How many times have you seen the Commercials capitulate... and when they did did they capitulate on a retrace from the breakout / breakdown of their position... thanks..
I'm gonna post all my hindsight trades as well, as that adds a lot of value: Take a chart, any chart, pick a swing, any swing. I sold one tic less than every swing high and bought one tic more than every swing low. (I had to ensure I got filled on my orders). After that...my wife woke me up and I had to go and shop for groceries. JW
There are numerous intraday set-ups a person can identify and then enter scalp trades from during the day REGARDLESS of what they think the overall trend is.......... http://www.charthub.com/images/2009/06/12/ESCD_Sep_2.png http://www.charthub.com/images/2009/06/12/ESCD_Sep_3.png In the meantime.....I still think the overall longer term trend will snapback to selling again, so I remain in favor of taking my longer term trades to the SHORT side (large positions I am willing to hold overnight for multi-week/month periods). I would not be longer term BULLish until we at least trade back to the 700's or lower area and I start to see "net" LONG positions being built up.......that will get me to switch directions.
I had the help of the IOAMT chatroom which you guys were talking about earlier. Buying was lethargic above 950 coupled with some resting supply at 956 that was enough to bring in the sell response. It was downhill from there.
This EXACT same type of action took place September to November 2007 I have also seen LARGE "net" holders positions built up and then steamrollered (usually AFTER a second or third challenge of the held zone)........but if the held zone does capitulate, you get to witness it REALTIME.....you won't miss a tick of it! BTW, you will have ample time to react to that action so it is not some insane price action that can't be followed.
More often on a retrace from the breakout level........commercials fight back hard in the order flow to get their inventory out as clean as possible, and then off price goes (as all the remaining held retailers get the "WHAT JUST HAPPENED" move.......LOL!
