Trading Made Simple
As stocks once again flip-flop from manic depressive to manic impressive; heading into the last few hours of the day, we thought we would simplify the art of trading a little with the following flowchart...
And in case you are an algo, here it is further simplified for your boolean logic circuits:

I need 6 beers
How come there are no strippers to be found anywhere on that flow-chart?
Who still programs in visual basic?
That is a flowchart, more like a basic visual, isn't it?
this is clearly missing the 8:30AM ES ramp and correlating 8:29:59AM gold/silver Smack Down
This time it's different....
Simpler version:

Capitalism for Dummies!
the algos are trying to front run the 330PM rampfest. they're going to be left holding a big pile of shit.
"That shit's Productive!"
Where is the button for kill all muppets?
i don't know ... drinking beer at 8:30am is probably not a good thing ...
What planet are you from?
I start binge drinking at 4:30pm and again right before bed so I can wake up buzzed and begin again at 6:00am in time for daily metals smash, and drink another six pack at 7:30am watching the ES S&P rise on no news. By 9:25am I am asleep until 10:30 ramp job and take a nap until 11:30 Euro close. Then I'm drinking for the rest of the day until 4:30pm when I start drinking for tomorrow's punishement.
You're doing it right.
Not if you haven't had the 7:30 beer.
scotch?

TUESDAY IS COMING . DID YOU BRING YOUR COAT? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adUn1AeFkmo
Yellen gave the "market" its RJ early today.
I need a beer regardless!
and the poor smucks continue to leave what little savings that hasnt been wiped out yet in this fraudulent rigged banker casino waiting to be fleeced for the last time in their lives....
FUCKING STUPID MAN....
prepear the gallows .
I was always told towards the end of this stock manipluation, we would see wild swings from negative to postive.....seems we are drawing near
yesterday's 3:30 ramp up literally started "right on the second."
bwahahahahahahaha.
"maybe we should have the regulators look into this"?
in the meantime "come three thirty stop trading" is Cramer's one and only rule. That says to me the Mad Money folks are still trading, and losing BIG TIME.
Is this what's running the whole economy right now?
If the regulators looked into it, you know the one guy with a clock that was 1 second fast would get the fine, providing he wasn't GS or JPM.
if the last half hour is the ramp up shouldn't i buy everything up until 3:30 and sell at the close?
IGNITE!
Today's markets remind me of that 80s arcade game 'Berzerk' where dozens of robots followed your every move and the only way you could exit was to fake them out in one direction as you made your way in another direction.

Damn it I always forget that beer part! Thanks!
Maybe today 3:30 will be a violent dump. Nah who am I fooling, probably +3% by close.
Glad we could keep things, visual and basic for everyone.

What is the coding for buying any stock with a symbol that is close to the symbol of a company that has good news?
FOREACH Company.Listed
IF (Company.Listed.Symbol.SubString(0,2) == Company.GoodNews.Symbol.SubString(0,2))
{
BUY Company.Listed.Symbol
}

the Dow 1,000,000 neverending QE loop!
if ($DOW == 'M,W,Th,F') then
BUY!
ELSEIF ($DOW == 'Tu') then
Sell!
Endif
There, fixed it. now you boys and girls quit confusing the muppets.

10mins early today!
Just trade support and resistance. It's worked since the advent of public, liquid markets. Worked again today on the Nascrap. Keep your emotions and biases out of your trading.
why don't you add that you have never blown up, self immolated, never had a loser.
I've lost more money in markets than you'll ever make in your lifetime genius. Being wrong is part of trading.
lol! dumb fuck! just trade resistance and support. i can tell you have never traded a bear from that simplistic comment.
That's right. You've got me completely figured out. Good job bro. Congrats to you!
fuck i just dont get it
No wonder, the code does has no reference to the picture..
Visual Basic .NET microsoft shit.. linux c/python/ruby/erlang/haskell for the win!
Working in anything other than assembly is for weak babies without large powerful neck beards.
BASIC when you need code working in a hurry and you don't care if it runs slow.
Machine code for when you need the code to run fast and you don't care how long it takes to write it.
Machine code for when you want to actually be in charge of the computer for a change.
Other languages when you don't care what the computer is doing, as long as it eventually does what you told it to do.
Excellent code snippet. I love it when the F word is used to "bind" the first and last parts of words.
the algo that needs another algo to go where no algos have ever been.
Its called algos on crutches.
Forget the beer need something stronger. How about a Beefeater martine, very, very dry.
"99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer.
You take one down, pass it around, 98 bottles of beer on the wall."
Beer? How do people drink that after trying bourbon.
Some of us craft our own beer. How can you drink mass produced alcohol after trying home made?
When I drink brew, I drink microbrews. How can I make my own whiskey at home? jk i'm too lazy i'll just pay tons of money for good booze
:) Hey, you know what? To each his own! Drink up!
Rigged and damn those HFTs
