memo:
buy more red ink.
Not ink. Red paint to throw at banksters like the Icelanders did.
Arrest the criminals.
not a snowball's chance in hell....they own the whole system all the way down through the DOJ to the cops
meh, adjusted for USD value the S&P is still up 9% YTD.
HAHAHAHA!!!!!
Euro should have been at parity with the Dollar in 2010, and 10 year yields to 5% - but that would be in an altermate dimension where there are actual markets and price discovery, jail for corrupt bankers, and mature rational adults in charge.
VWAP and traps worked well today. Doesn't matter what type of day it is as long as one sticks to his/ her plan.
Hey Traderone, I like ur thinking!!
When you say traps, you mean like when the bid is twice the size of the ask??
TIA
Hey 1fortheroad. My definition of a trap is when a key level breaks and traders are sucked into going with it but the trend reverses and leaves these guys stranded or 'trapped'. Using today as an example: the price (S&P) broke below yesterdays low twice throughout today's session, newbie traders and weak hands assume it will keep going and don't have stops in place but then panic as on each occasion it reversed back up to VWAP to give approx 5/6 points on each trade. This is a regular set up but advise a stop 2 Pts below the low in case it doesn't work. Hope that helps.
Traderone, I can see it now, thanks a mil. Thats 2 nice setups, congrats on ur patence.
That did help alot, thanks.
The traps I was tought is when they stack the bid or offer to make one side look weak, lets say they stack the bid, looks like everyone is buying or wanting to buy but in reality they are selling. Look for it and you will see sometimes. Using the DOM helps me see it more clearly.
1fortheroad, I use that technique some times when cashing in on options. If I own some options and want to sell but the bid/ask spread is too big I can tighten up the bid by placing my own bids until others follow, then I withdraw the bids and sell to those higher bidders. It has worked a few times.
falcon, thats nice, wtg man.
When the big boys do this, Stack the bid or ask its pretty obvious. They mostly do it on stocks but I have seen them do it in the futures market.
Its nice to have a few like-minded folks in here like you and traderone.
Keep stackin
Damn fuckin' right keep stackin'!!!
Yeah, no one should have any major concerns on purchases made when the price is DXY driven (assuming you plan to hold a while, of course.) It's just stronger dollars letting you buy more phyz, not gold getting cheaper.
Bought another bag of morgan's today, stack on? check...
Friday is payday...that's when I trade out worthless fiat dollars for kick-ass, shiny stacks of phyzz Ag.
I hope the Evil Empire slams another dollar out of the paper by then so I can stack even more phyzz.
Stack on, bitchez...
received my order today from APMEX! Oh yeah!
Gold price in €uros (€ 1095 @2300 CET +7,04) keeps creeping higher. Should be even with the $ price soon. It will be interesting to see if gold in both currencies are evenly wacked once parity has been reached. Regardless of the paper fun and games, both are on the path of implosion. Keep stacking for time is short!
Eric Carmen &/or Celine Dion lament the use of long-only strategies
When I was young
I thought I only needed longs
And selling short was just for fun
Those days are gone
Trading alone
I think of leveraged funds I own
But when I dial the support phone
Nobody’s home
All buys, no sells
Don't wanna trade
All buys, no sells
Anymore
Hard to be sure
Sometimes my selling’s premature
And Keltner tops some find obscure
Remain the cure
All buys, no sells
Don't wanna use
All buys, no sells
Anymore
long as we're in a jovial mood...
We're setting sail
To the place on the map from which no one has ever returned
Drawn by the promise of the joker and the fool
By the light of the crosses that burn
Drawn by the promise of the women and the lace
And the gold and the cotton and pearls
It's the place where they keep all the darkness you meet
You sail away from the light of the world
You will pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay tomorrow
You will pay tomorrow
Save me, save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with this ship of fools, no no
Oh, save me, save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with this ship of fools, no no
I want to run and hide
Right now
Avarice and greed are gonna drive you over the endless sea
They will leave you drifting in the shallows
Drowning in the oceans of history
Travellin' the world, you're in search of no good
But I'm sure you'll build your Sodom like I knew you would
Using all the good people for your galley slaves
As your little boat struggles through the warning waves
But you will pay, you will pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay tomorrow
Save me, save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with this ship of fools,
Oh, save me, save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with this ship of fools,
Where's it comin' from or where's it goin' to?
It's just a - it's just a ship of fools
All Aboard
Hey, they gave it the ole college try earlier today..
The markets are full on cat sleeps with dog......, i still wouldn't dare short any of these sectors, bitchez.
Remember, these are cyber criminals we're dealing with here...!
Shorting madness is also madness.
Was it any different in '08? The collapse was controlled. Insiders knew ahead of time. Know any insiders?
If I fucking called it in <A HREF="http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-03-09/apple-jones-industrial-average-...">this</A> thread, I want to be remembered as a ZH legend forever.
Don't count your winnings while sitting at the table old son.

I hope you're investing in silver and gold, Hasbara. Of course they probably don't give you much extra for investment down at the Shill Factory do they?
Hey, can you guys work from home? Or do they make you drag your ass into an office every day?
News the kid was promised a bounce.
This time is DIFFERENT: did I miss it or did a fed head come out after the Friday jobs report and talk back raising rates?? If not, it would be a first.
Something has to give in Europe here. That currency cannot continue to collapse without consequences.
Consequences are so 1990's
Another 14 trading days left for Q1 ! ... the boyz will goose this bitch any way possible to book bigger 2/20 . Rumor and propaganda coming forthwith !
:-)
George Benson, Give Me The Night...
Turn the cunt up, and enjoy yourselves for a moment, because as you bitchez know, on a long enough....

We aint fucking dead just yet.

DOW down 650!! Which is like 3.5%! lol hang on tight she's just building swell now! Hardy har....har...
You know it pains me to see that people believe the fate of the world rests on the shoulders of these phoney algorithmic projections. It was con before, it's still a con now, and it's going to be just as much of a con in the future.
Relax, life will go on.
More importantly why are people wasting their time playing this silly little game? There are much more prudent investment one can be making this very day that can provide reprieve from this abusive system!
Why wait?
Sum of (Dow/S&P/FTSE) down = DAX up <not people, algos moving (non) money around>
I will say this... That makes no sense to me. But if I had to guess your indicating the correlation illustrates that these moves are not the work of traders, but indeed the work of robots designed not only to profit 365 days of the year, but also influence market moves. Therefor what we have here is an illusion within an illusion of... Your method was simpler.
This what people in Ukraine under russian terrorist occupation thinks of them:

I am enjoying this crap. Bought & Sold the same SPY Put twice today. See what happens tomorrow. I just wonder where are all those DipShit buyers are. They only buy dips on an uptrend? Freaking dumb ass Zombies.
C'mon Cramer Crowd! Buy those Effing Dips! So I can short some more.
Ha! Maybe there are no 'real' buyers. BEWARE!
Get to work Mr. Bullard!

Crude jumped $10 in two days, and in actual trading time about two hours just over a month ago.
An entire month of decline wiped out in minutes. It can happen again and just like last time it will happen for no reason.
Stocks may be down 3.5%, but just like any time in the past six years they can climb 10% out of nowhere.
It's all bullshit and everyone knows it.
Return all the things!
EUROPACALYPSE!
Hey hey hey! Dow Theory RULES!!
"Dow are now down 1%, Trannies down 2.7% "
That Dead Cat didn't bounce very fucking high.
Oh please, the Euro, how quaint...that cesspool of corruption called the EU is a joke, but no different than anywhere else for that matter!
Where's my diaper?
Come in here, derr boyz, have a CCAR.
You're gonna go far, you're gonna fly high,
You're never gonna die...
