Thanks Cobra. Always appreciate your good work.

It seems it is possible to fill the gap in the next ~1.5 hours though ...

I see this as fade the MACD. there's fade RSI like 13/34, 20/50, 50/200 also.

It is taking only 100 stocks quote stuffs to move SPY 10-12 ticks. I've never seen it this thin.

I am listening to John Batchelor's Sunday night radio show that is syndicated on WABC. So far, I cannot find the 10 minute discussion on High Frequency Trading, the damage it has done, and the FBI investigations.

I'm not saying it's not there yet (but it was the last hour and the guy has a British accent and his own financial show) but if they cleansed his podcast of derogatory HFT discussions then we are finished as a nation if discussions against what has been going on are monitored and silenced on a leading talk show like the Stasi would do. Where's "richarab"? Paranoia, eh?

His podcast page and the show was Sunday: http://www.wabcradio.com/sectional.asp?id=33447
I just went through the 4 hours of Sunday night's broadcast as downloaded from the website and the discussion of the FBI investigation into HFT trading, and a trader caught-up in an insider trading investigation working with them and their hiring some former HFT traders, and the possibility of algo machines running some stocks out of Russia (how fitting) appears to have been stripped from the show.

Think that's a coincidence? If so, I have a bridge.

The talk by a financial analyst with his own NYC based show and how they cannot stop these machines as the exchanges are now "for profit" and they are such a large percentage of trading they would destroy the markets and the economy is gone. Like Stalin's enemies (replace page 75 with this new photo on page 75) that segment revealing what HFT trading is doing to investors is gone.

This government must be, in some areas, like a friend of mine who lived in East Germany said the Stasi was like. Rigged markets? No, No...this is real value we're talking here....and cheap too! :lol: :lol:

breakout on the upside indeed. here's another way of calculating the target. projecting the same target area, so now maintain the target.

I just wish someone traded this mkt. Well, Obama stated a goal of his was to remove speculators and have only long-term investors. And these markets are now destroyed and run by HAL 10,000...or is it SKYNET?

Stalin always got his way too.

I think Spy reached exactly at 139.08, one cent shy from yesterday's close of 139.09. Another try is coming up now ... :-)

Alternate count...nothing higher in probability than "maybe"
