VIX and TNX went bull, spy went underwater ??????

[Cobra]

not good. I said if the 3rd push couldn't make a new high then it's not a good sign for bulls.

have you seen "REVOLVER" along with "FRESH" two of the better "trader education films". the point in revolver is that the issues are more within us--the perspective on the event (as far as traders esp) is more to the point. two guys can see the same chart--trade it inversely and both win. we b liking "relative absolutes"--not because there are no absolute absolutes but because we ourselves fluctuate mentally.

amusing experiment--get a small clock with a second hand and sit down at a table placing the clock on the table. next noting the second hand breath in for 5 seconds--contain the breath for 5 seconds--breath out for 5 seconds--contain the breath for 5 seconds. or adjust the time to whatever is comfortable to you. the key is to consider 1 cycle these 4 movements.

next simply make 30 of these moves counting mentally as you and watch what happens. this is a simple demonstration of the fluctuation of the mind. next put me in front of 3 screens with moving data (even if it is only qqq in 3 time frames) and naturally i am trading money which i like--and consider the fluctuation issue.

fresh is superior in my opinion as the trader starts with a 0 position and winds up winning "everything". revolver is an attempt to look at ego in a street wise situation--the play is simple enough--do egg-xactly what you don't want to do to win. wait who are you anywhey?

VIX is dropping like a mofo, bonds are down. All the bulls need now are some algos to kick in.

[uempel]

I'll be back in half an hour, want to check what happens at 14.40 pm. But note that this is a 10 min chart and timing a move is less precise

[Anaconda]

New high still coming; 2:30 pm express is coming down the track. I can hear it...

[BullBear52x]

see vix spike, now bears we are talking haha.

I hope you're right Anaconda, but we know how well hope works these days

[jarbo456]

holy crap. what IS that?

[tiki]

One more the get the hang of it, and I'll quit with the charts for today

This is a shorter term sym triangle.. which way does she go?

[fehro]

diamond bottom?... green ascending triangle?.... or bear flag, descending triangle? either 1240 or 1195

[BullBear52x]

see vix spike, now bears we are talking haha.

holy crap. what IS that?

Last chip got bad beat I guess.

[CognitiveDissonance]

see vix spike, now bears we are talking haha.

holy crap. what IS that?

Taking out some stops along with money. It's either gonna move like a mofo or...I don't know. The last time the vix did a 'just kidding' move it was followed by a 'I'm not kidding anymore' move down on SPX. But since this one cleared stops both north and south, I don't know.

But....I don't really know much about anything anyways

It's trying to break through the 25 resistance. I'm long and I don't like it

[99er]

Which FRESH are you referring to? /link I couldn't get high enough to follow REVOLVER, but the George Costanza approach sounds like egg-xactly what I need to trade by if past results are an indicator. The clock experiment is going to mess with me, because...much like my trading...I would rather contemplate the outcome than to execute it and I'm sure I'll find a way to lose money doing it whether I have the outcome predicted or not.
