bot a few apr 505 puts on aapl @ 2.88 looking for 540 to exit some nice count . hopefully this 5th wave doesnt extend. looks like a possible exhaustion gap yesterday on hi vol too
jas_in_hbca - Thanks! Yes some people are saying that the release day of iPad3 is the reversal day of AAPL. Now the wave count for SP is taking the grey line scenario, which it has almost finished the 5-5-5 ... wave. I am thinking that either tomorrow or next Wednesday the key reversal could occur.
4ex - Thanks for commenting. As you know that my prediction is all based on EW theory, sometimes people don't believe something would happen and I don't believe either. If the current wave is really wave-[]-[C]-V-5 (most likely ending today or maybe next wednesday with extension), then next leg could go all the way down to 1280 area. Let's see how the market acts.
Thank you Michael. I am hoping that SP does not make any extension from here; otherwise, the extension could go to 1440. Let's wait and see.
Yeah i got one.Why do you call it perfect? Do you mean in hindsight? Or is it part of the new world order where you take a word or phrase and use it to describe the complete opposite? Like saying " bringing peace and stability" while dropping bombs on people.Is it perfect in that sense? Where you show that it could go either up or down,on a scale of 1-10 how useful and perfect is that,say compared to just guessing?
MADASINHATTER - I call it Perfect Wave because it is the brand of the series of my wave posts. I could have called it Snowrider's Wave Analysis (but that did not sound powerful). Of course, you can interpet the word "perfect" as anything as you want. The analysis is of some educated guess. Isn't the whole world making guesses all the time? The analysis is based on the Elliott Wave Principle. If you don't know what that is, I would recommend you getting a book and study first.
What has your backtest showed and what have your results been? It's apparent some logic's went into the chart drawings, but none placed on any performance summaries or analysis of the data. Reminds me of Hershyites, must draw straight lines, without questioning whether they actually did go to where they ended when they were drawn or any regard to what actually happened later. This thread is missing that analysis, and it's required if you expect anyone to really analyze the charts that have been posted.
bwolinsky - I have extensively played system long time ago, I wrote tons of systems with TradeStation, I did backtesting 24x7, and then I threw all my systems to trash can. What I want to tell you about backtest is ... been there and done that. If you are asking some trader who utilizes price action and/or pattern methodologies (e.g., Gann, Elliott Wave, Dow Theory etc.) about back testing, you ask a wrong question! I post my wave analysis here not looking for followers. I am looking for people who speak the same langauage (are also playing EW) for discussion. I am looking for people who enjoy playing EW on trading like playing chess. If you don't believe in EW, you won't be interested in reading my posts.
