Well, we are stilling on a continued buy signal even with a quick return to safety (and a triggered sell signal on OCD) by Ken's system. Assuming everyone's signals stay the same, we should be ok on an OCD-Buy, unless you think this is a contrarian signal, then it is a Sell... confused yet?

This week is once again OptionsEx and will be crazy, crazy once again. I don't know the condition of options so I have no guess as to whether the markets will be manipulated up or down as the big banks (can anyone say JPM) and their option houses try to make people let their options expire worthless or force them to buy/sell options to the advantage of the banks...

I do find it interesting that, even with what seems to be huge pressure to the downside, that the markets have hit the ~1340 and bounced back. Makes me feel like when the magic 1075 was hit last October and BOOM, here we are bouncing on 1350-1400. The question is, which way will it go?

J-Trader added another system based on CCI analysis and I am considering adding it to the OCD. Thoughts?

Still hitting the Hopium to see if we can reverse this bloodshed long enough for me to get out of my current long trade without too much of a loss...

As usual, Only Time Will Tell.

Good Luck and God Bless!!

So, no one is watching the OCD... Is that because nothing is changing as everyone is in BUY mode? No big deal for me as I collect the data anyway, just deciding if I post it or not.

J-Trader added another system based on CCI analysis and I am considering adding it to the OCD. AGAIN, thoughts?

I am not even sure if the drop today was due to "european issues" as everyone seems to want to blame, or if the hedge funds/banks/option houses are playing with the markets to shake out those holding options with less fortitude... I cannot for the life of me imagine that "they" would let the market tank ahead of the joyous occasion known as the Facebook IPO, so there is still hope that the market may bounce sometime this week. Maybe even be lifted as a quick short covering rally (after making everyone believe the markets were going to tank last Friday and today)...

Who, the heck, knows anymore... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggggggggg !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heavily hitting the Hopium to see if we can reverse this bloodshed long enough for me to get out of my current long trade without too much of a loss... Or, it will just make me feel better...

As usual, Only Time Will Tell.

Good Luck and God Bless!!

What do you mean that no one is watching? :confused: Are you tracking the number of views that your thread gets per day? :nuts: I consider your posts one of my "must reads" as I am sure many others do too. If for nothing else it is good entertainment watching KJen screw with your head! :D

I would say that most people that are still in are suckin up the Hopium and expect a bounce and those that are out are expecting a major crash to buy in after. I bought back in a week ago so missed more than half of this drop at this point. I was actually glad when you switched to sell as the Contrarian Signal!! :toung: But then you went back to buy and down we all went, sticky pants and all....wheeeeee! :worried:

As for the J-Trader CCI system...it is your table/system so you alone should decide what goes in and what goes out. When you do decide to change things please post and explanation as to why for all of our collective education. And please continue to post! I especially have enjoyed your thoughts that accompany the table. Thank you!!!

They call that insecurity. He is looking for affirmation. :D

Hi RMI,

I've been keeping up with your account talk for a little while now and I have some questions about your OCD signal. I'm a rookie here just trying to learn how to better control my destiny and have been formulating simple systems of my own to better do so. Have you been making trades using your system or just using it as a guide for your actual trading? There are a lot of systems out there but I think sometimes people still try to use their intuition and I'm curious how you use yours. I've found this to be the most difficult for me, I only just committed to use my system since my intuition has cost me.

Also, I've noticed that you're tracking quite a few systems and I was curious what your thoughts are on why you've chosen to track those particular systems? I see the weighting system but what I'd be worried about is that some systems may counter-act others. Something I've noticed when I was trying to assemble my own systems was that many times using too many inputs would give me bad signals just because the inputs would counter-act each other. For instance, for the past couple weeks it looks like the LMBF and 10-M SMA systems have acted contrary to each other. I realize your weighting system minimizes their effect but have you considered that maybe some of the user systems you're tracking may use indicators that counter each other at important times. I don't mean this to be critical, the chart is great! It's good to keep track of it all, I check it myself almost daily. But I think a system based on buy/sells of multiple systems that don't necessarily depend on the same indicators can be confused easily. I think if you knew what the other systems depended on, it would be more beneficial to figure out which signal is best signal for right now. So rather than a fixed weighting system, I guess I'm thinking more of a weighting system that depends on signal strength. What do you think?

I do not track thread views, so maybe I should look at that so that I don't offend anyone with my "self-serving" questions (see Ken screwing with me again)... Ken does like messing with me, but I have thick skin and I like messing back.

I would say that most people that are still in are suckin up the Hopium and expect a bounce and those that are out are expecting a major crash to buy in after. I bought back in a week ago so missed more than half of this drop at this point. I was actually glad when you switched to sell as the Contrarian Signal!! :toung: But then you went back to buy and down we all went, sticky pants and all....wheeeeee! :worried:
Not enough data to determine the actual use yet as a system, but I have been messing with using moving averages of the OCD signal to see if that helps against reality.

True, but I don't know how many are tracking his main JT system so I didn't know if it was worth adding the other CCI one. I think it is viable, albeit new. Even though OCD is mine, that doesn't mean I do not value the opinion of those that read this thread.


They call that insecurity. He is looking for affirmation. :D
Uh, no. I just don't see many comments any more so I was wondering if anyone was watching. Honest question. As I said, I track the info regardless, I just didn't know if I needed to post it here.

Thanks.

Not a lot of time tonite as time, like the markets, got away from me. I am still holding ETF longs hoping that we see a dead cat bounce or a oversold rally or a short covering rally or some kind of RALLY!!!

As usual, Only Time Will Tell.

Good Luck and God Bless!!
 
Hi RMI,

I've been keeping up with your account talk for a little while now and I have some questions about your OCD signal. I'm a rookie here just trying to learn how to better control my destiny and have been formulating simple systems of my own to better do so. Have you been making trades using your system or just using it as a guide for your actual trading? There are a lot of systems out there but I think sometimes people still try to use their intuition and I'm curious how you use yours. I've found this to be the most difficult for me, I only just committed to use my system since my intuition has cost me.

Also, I've noticed that you're tracking quite a few systems and I was curious what your thoughts are on why you've chosen to track those particular systems? I see the weighting system but what I'd be worried about is that some systems may counter-act others. Something I've noticed when I was trying to assemble my own systems was that many times using too many inputs would give me bad signals just because the inputs would counter-act each other. For instance, for the past couple weeks it looks like the LMBF and 10-M SMA systems have acted contrary to each other. I realize your weighting system minimizes their effect but have you considered that maybe some of the user systems you're tracking may use indicators that counter each other at important times. I don't mean this to be critical, the chart is great! It's good to keep track of it all, I check it myself almost daily. But I think a system based on buy/sells of multiple systems that don't necessarily depend on the same indicators can be confused easily. I think if you knew what the other systems depended on, it would be more beneficial to figure out which signal is best signal for right now. So rather than a fixed weighting system, I guess I'm thinking more of a weighting system that depends on signal strength. What do you think?

I am not ignoring you, just got busy today at work and tonite. I am replying to put this at the bottom as a reminder and I will get back to it in the morning (before all the festivities start).
