Whipsaw's Account Talk

Sort by newest Sort by date
I completely agree, there is no rule that says the indices and the charts will act like they did in the past. Even if markets were stagnant entities that worked one way that would be hard to say. But its implausible to expect patterns to stick around too long with how ever evolving the whole system has become.
 
Wishing everyone a happy Thanksgiving! Sorry I haven't been posting much, looks like I've fallen completely off the poster list :embarrest:. At any rate, trying to keep my head in the game, making some good plays on the side in the brokerage account, PLUG is doing great, taking a bath on PYPL and V though! ;damnit
 
First I've seen of that, but it missed a few bottoms such as the one around Oct. 1st, if that is what it's supposed to represent. :dunno:

Looks like some of Slim's cycle brackets

It is. this is a cycle indicator for those who use cycles in trading. you should be able to adjust the cycle period or (like Slim's system) add multiple cycle periods. it doesn't exactly indicate a bottom, just a likely point at which stocks will be at their lowest or highest during that cycle period. the general trend up or down is still identified using other metrics and the combination of those and other signals, with a cycle bottom/top can indicate a market bottom/top.
 
Hummm... Nice chart. Circles are a parabolic SAR overlay, an option in stockcharts, set with parameters of .02, .2. I can tell the chart is not mine as I don't use SAR overlays, Ichimoku clouds and three indicators shown at bottom, but Coolhand used clouds all the time. :D. Really miss his charts and commentary. In any case I like tge parabolic as it would indicate we have upside coming... Will see... Best wishes to you Whipsaw! :smile:

This is a DBA link I stole a while ago, but now there is a new feature. The red half circle bouncing ball at the top of the chart. I read on some website about this periodicity and it coinciding with market bottoms/downturns, anyone else familiar with this? Not sure why it appeared on the chart.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my TSP friends! :party: Not a bad year, 12 mo. at 10.56% according to the TSP site. Going 100% G COB, doji star today, stochastics are topped out, strong Santa Rally stalling at the all time high, Fed talk of taper, going to the sidelines for a bit. :fest30: Bquat has me by two spots on the tracker! :nuts: DBA and RF not far behind, I like being in good company... :cheesy:
 
Moving up off of the bottom of the Top Poster list... was worried bout the DCB line on Bquat's chart, in a wait and see for a little while.
 
Bquat called the DCB, looking like we're at support from recent higher lows, but also lower lows in Bquat's N2 channel. Are we setting up for a third bear flag? Otherwise, maybe an entry point?
 
Tried to make a partial entry, but my cell phone was dead and couldn't get the code. ;damnit Maybe just as well, except for the possible post holiday reversal (does MLK day fall in that category?). At any rate, have a great weekend everyone!:D Hey, my phone just woke up! :nuts:
 
OK, well then... good thing I didn't get in last week. Anyone have thoughts on calling the bottom? Is this the beginning of the next Taper Tantrum? Seems a little early.
 
1.8% on the 10-year T-note is scaring investors, and if this keeps climbing, like to 2%, a bottom may not come for a while. Of course every dip has been bought in recent years, but that was when interest rates were pinned to 0% and the Fed was buying bonds. So maybe it is "different this time."
 
Wow, S-Fund goes back an entire year to see this level again. C-Fund has a few reactions at this level going back to November, then the Sep high and December low; hopefully we see a turn soon.
 
This just in!

Who are those 1 in 10 folks? Malcontents! :cheesy:
 
Only one thing I can think of that I wish they would do differently. I wish with everything I have that they would go back to unlimited moves of OUR money per month, like it used to be. Even if they just doubled it to 4 moves a month with a final move to G if needed would be a nice start instead of just the 2. They changed from unlimited to 2 moves a month years ago when the Market was more stable and predictable, but the Market NOW is something completely different. 4 moves a month would at least be a help in avoiding all the knee jerk reaction Danger Zones that we see happen all the time now. Other than that, no complaints at all ........ :smile:
