burros-ark update: well we got a little bit of a bounce and a turnaround this week, maybe the bleeding has stopped and the wounds are starting to scab over, i hope the market doesn’t come right back and rip them off next week. the time to get in last week would’ve been wednesday before noon and then out again before friday at noon to score +2%. but dang, that is some heavy risk for very moderate reward, not to knock a gain, any gain, in this environment, but i just was not feeling it and i’m still glad not to be getting my butt kicked, so far. the only arkers making money are those collecting pennies in the g-fund, some have limited damage by running early in the fight, and the rest are gonna ride this mutha out it seems. owl bailed while mouse and chameleon jumped in, interesting. both of those two use their own versions of technical indicators and that is some big moves in this game at this point, very interesting. the chart reveals the extent of the damage, -6% to -10% in three weeks, still brutal. but on the bright side, arkers on average are beating more than half the autotracker, so that is a relative win i guess. the month is almost over and the fed speaks this coming week. crazy stuff.

burros-ark signal:
buy. yep, i don’t like it either but it is what it is, the system says
buy. el vira is near optimum risk level and exposure is at a significantly underbought 45%, this may be a good spot on the wave to catch a ride. a whole week seems like a long scarey time to hold a position right now, but that is what the system does so here we go, into the pool. it takes big money, big nuts, and a big fat chronic sack to play this game, the system was getting tired of the g-thang anyways, roll dem bones.
buy.

burros-ark stuff: i am still playing around with this chart thingy. i've added a marker for 'arker-average which is different from burros-ark. burros-ark is what the system does based on the actions of each member (and other things), while the arker-avg is a straight average of all individual arkers' actual performance. i find it interesting how graphics can communicate relationships between elements. i have also thought about adding a marker to track my, uhhh, social relationships with elements of the opposite sex (and interactions with members of the same sex, or just sex, but those numbers all total exactly the same as i am a monochromatic hunter in case you were wondering), but i think we all know that since about the mid-1990's that line just plunges straight down and is scraping rock bottom at this point and would be rather boring and uninformative. but hey, rock bottom is better than no bottom, right? i hope burros-ark gets lucky with this move in, but i am scared, which is better than scarred, but i am that too. life, and the markets, are what you make them. happy trading.
