[jarbo456]

anyone have an opinion about Abigail Doolittle...just saw her on CNBC...

[Cobra]

Cobra can you explain what you got from poll ?

What do you think after you saw the results?

[springheel_jack]

this is not what I'd like to see for the close, although still fine for bulls.

Rounded top pattern?

It looks very much like a rounded top pattern but it's so small it probably shouldn't be treated as one I think.

Hi all,

finally back at home, but nothing changed still up and more up and beyond..."little bit" underwater with 40% of shorts but it has to change on day so thats not so bad
Even worse is that cougar wants to leave this page I like his post a lot, one of the best TA engineers i ever "met" I hope he will come back soon

I sent him email twice. Hopefully he can see them.

[cougar]

Cobra: thanks for your Email! Yes …things are clear now…

I did not read Tabby’s post. He is right. I said something last spring apropos of AH’s “secret indicators“. At that time I thought that it was immature to hide the explicit information on what one was doing…but, if he can find suckers ready to pay for something that they cannot understand…good for him!

Disraeli once whispered, privately, to an aide: “Watch that man! He means what he says!” That man was Otto von Bismarck.
This cannot be said about SWalsh who, obviously, does not mean what he says. But ambiguity washes the Walsh…Thus, his apology is fully accepted.

Anyway…I’ll be back.
Thank you, friends, for your support.

agree, too small the pattern to be a top, maybe intraday top but not for daily chart top.

[Cobra]

volume surge, so hopefully a rebound till the close (so that I can ran partial of my long, I'll still hold partial as you all should now know my style, always have something to ride the trend).

I was about to post Abby picture to lure you back

I cut the short by the way as I said earlier in this thread. I'm not always right, obviously, don't want you guys thinking I'm braging for my long. I didn't win anything in this gap up because of that short but I'm glad I didn't lose much either which is the key to trading: control the losses. If this trend could last a little bit longer, I'll sure win everything back.

[BullBear52x]

Yeap fight on man...

[Al_Dente]

FIRST neg tick of the day
First one…all day…right this second....blablabla

[Ratbastrd]

I wish for some abandoned babies on Monday...Let's pray for that!!!

The last time I remember saying that was on July 7th 2011, and what do you know the next day abandoned babies everywhere....
Don't know if we will get it this time, but we can hope...

I've been watching this all day and the only time a big HFT has hit seems to be to stop a decline from starting so they can sell. After all, the guys running the HFT machines also have positions past the 1/4 second mark. The latter is likely the money used to fund the bigger trades.

This is what the HFTAlert calls The Accumulator. It's a proprietary study that shows if they are buying or selling, and they have been selling all day as shown by the divergence as well as the small HFT and algo sell spikes. But they don't want it down yet. This was one of the most extreme divergences he has seen. So you might get your wish and especially if they are reversing and going short:

Take a look at TVIX as well. Note that VIX has been rising all day, while TVIX is rock steady all day long, on the biggest volume day since before the fall last summer.

If you're long, I'd take the money and run:

…in a “Yellow-Polka-Dot-Bikini”?…. Wow, man ! That would be worth a video of the super-famous oldie song…

[SWalsh]

First solid hit that gave the program that photon torpedo sound.

In the first 5 seconds at 15:36 there were 500 stocks that got hit by the HFTs then 200 in the last second of that minute.

Cougar, you'll pardon me if I ask for an explanation there? Perhaps I'm having a reading comprehension issue this time.

TVIX made an all time low on that day 7/7, and we haven't gone lower than that level until today....

That's one thing I am not good at - hedging. If mkt gaps up, you loss a little, and if mkt gaps down you lose a little, wouldn't it be the same as if one simply place a small # of shares for the trade?
