  4. Price is pushing here, as expected, folks.

    I am awaiting 1300 to be taking out in the ES june----however, this is a great opp for day traders to go SHORT @ 1294 for a quick pull back of 1 plus points-----be nimble and cautious.

    staying LONG ES and QM

  5. How well and truly fascinating. Price predictions from the guy who believes markets are random and efficient, and that trends do not exist.

  8. And how about in random ones? And how about the fact that marketsurfer doesn't even believe in the very trends to which you refer?

  9. Take a look at a psuedo random number generated chart-- google it, if you dont' understand--- you will see "trends" and all kinds of TA patterns, et al .

    Of course, after entry in directional trading, the chosen direction needs to continue for profit--- however, knowing the past direction is irrelevant-- which is the commonly mistaken use of the word trend in trading. In other words, trend is irrelevant ( no edge) prior to directional entry.

  10. Yes, trends can exist in random markets. The market isn't normally distributed. How does the market achieve non-normality? By trending and jumping
