I admire Tudor Jones.

Did you see the TRADER documentary ? very cool.

But his trading style is definitely not for amateurs or for the faint hearted. :lol:

Right now im bearish biased, looking for a retest of the lows.

Its a bear market guys...nothing changed yet :ugeek: .

Strong moves up and down are expected. Unless bernanke explicit starts QE3... volatility is likely to remain high.

I will be selling highs for a while...with tight stops...cheers to John Tudor Jones style... :lol:

Is it going to move in a range bigger than 1 point any time? Or better we go to sleep? This calm breaks my nerves...
I`m long... and tembling...

Just saw this quote (from Paul Tudor) a few days ago as I was flipping through my copy of "Market Wizards". For those looking at book lists earlier in the week this is definitely a good one. Easy reading with lots of distilled trading wisdom from people who have taken a lot of money from the rest of us!
Guessing that a lot of people will be heading to the Hamptons or other places I will never be for the long weekend, so assuming that they are all short, will there be a bit of a rally shortly as they even up for the weekend?

Doesnt matter about the news. Was a clear Bear Flag in the forming on the weekly with SUPER STRONG resistance at 240.[/quote]

Then look at the divergence between QQQ and NFLX, QQQ fell harder in the past two days, and NFLX was down 11% from close while QQQ was down only 2.1%.

Tudor is a nervous wreck, hope he does not end like Jesse Livermore. These Hedge Fund managers have a tough job. Recently saw a picture of Paulson in the FT. He does not look very happy...

To catch tops or bottoms on the chart ain't that difficult - it's the trading part which is extremely difficult. The market always wants to confuse. Very often I've been long or short at the right spot - and the market got rid of my position. Last time it happened Wednesday, market caught my SL by 0.25 cents. Seconds later the move which I had anticipated was all go... I missed the boat as I was not in front of the screen. Hey, I need some food from time to time, and a beer too :D

So…according to their expert posts, it looks like “AK84” and “waverider” shorted NFLX…
Congratulations to both of them!!!

I have one observation: most intelligent and original technical analysts I know are also very astute speculators of fundamentals and news - real and fabricated. The famous sentence” news don’t matter” is an “ego trip” that they put in the preface of their books, destined to sell a lot. The really good “salesmen” among them accompany this statement with another one: “ It doesn’t matter if you have a 2-digits IQ, and never had any math in your education…just use the tricks I’ll teach you…”
And then comes: ”…500 bucks for the course…por favor”

Cobra -- do you think a break below the morning low necessarily means a quick trip to 115-116 of could it simply back test the triangle resistance line a little further over? This would produce a lower low on the day but it may not be by very much.
