I'm saying that I don't think we will need more commodities if demand for goods is down.. I do however think the price of commodities will be up. That is because the value of fiat currencies will be down in relationship to them.

I have a small business selling machinery.. I'm getting calls all the time from steel companies trying to sell.. and shipping companies trying to ship.. It's insane how many cold calls i'm getting. That's because everything is down.. I don't care what the DOW says.. Or the FED.. or anyone else including those who's business...
glad you explained. im sorry for smoking comment. me saying "in a boom" was sarcastic. i know everything is down and its all wallstreet bs. we are on the same page. and as tightening of credit and balloons maturing, it will just get worse. this thing will last many years. you dont get out in 6 months a balloon that took a decade to build. im in business also. but in one of the better markets. and if its better here then rest of country sucks.

Atlast is your style more countertrend trading,(I know names are pointless) and very short term. I notice you have a nack for those pinpoint calls on reversals.

No biggie.. As we continue to have a declining work force, we will also see a decline in demand for real goods.. You are lucky you are not in manufacturing.. There are a few sectors doing ok.. But I talk to a lot of people.. A lot of people that are scared shitless.. Even talked to someone who said 2nd and 3rd quarter was picking up.. but he said it didn't feel right.. We talked about how good news is met with skepticism by those who are well read.. We know there is no fundimental changes going on to get excited about..

actually it may seem that way, but it's more trend trading. I countertrend when the odds are in my favour (doesn't mean I get profitable always) and recognise the fact it's countertrend and trade defensively. I also countertrend when there is an imminent market turn. I trend trade mostly in the direction of the pitchfork. the TF is usually hourly, with 3 min entries.

Ive seen the pitchfork, as a matter of fact i have the andrews pitchfork on my platform, is it the same? it look like a price channel with a median line, is that all it is?

I am still a novice trader, but keeping my head above water so to speak. Actually I'm doing ok, but my philosophy has been, and always will be, that 'slow is smooth, and smooth is fast' as far as building up my account goes.

There are some very skilled traders here who have helped me keep on track and who have introduced me to different ways of seeing things. There are a couple of traders who have gone much further than that (they know who they are), and have kept watch over my trades and asked me to question myself when they see that I may be about to make a mistake. Be very sure that this is not anyone saying to me "don't do that" or "do this"....they are asking "what's your reason behind that idea?". This, in my opinion is a great way to help me out...ie, to get me to look again at my trade to make sure that I am happy with my decision. These people I regard as my friends.

Now, I see nothing wrong with posting not only charts and methods, plus ideas etc etc, but also good daily wins, and of course daily losses. Those posted wins and losses help me keep my feet on the ground, and to help me understand what may be possible for me in years to come. I don't see it as bragging (except in very few cases).

For me, sometimes a +100 pip day is fantastic. Sometimes a +25 pip day is also fantastic. Sometimes a -25 pip day is satisfactory. Each day is new, and each day has it's own challenges. You can see from many of my posts that I just sit out the whole damn day, because I can't trade certain types of PA, while others can make a killing with the exact same PA.

The point is that we all are different. We all have different reasons for doing this, and we all have different expectations.

We should rejoice in each others wins, and we should be humble about our own achievements. We should also respect each others opinions, whether or not we agree with them.

I don't see a 'need' to compete with anyone, and I don't understand why we can't just GET ALONG TOGETHER.

I don't understand many people's methods, and they probably don't understand mine. As long as we win, be humble, show respect, what difference does it make???

There are many ways to 'skin a cat'. There is no right or wrong way.....and there is no best way.

Phew.....that's going to cost more today....

Oh I have a theory, simple and amateur as it is. You see, volume on the DOW today was really low even compared to recent volumes. Fundamental side we didn't exactly have anything groundbreaking, yet, the players decided they'd go stop hunting after the recent rally. But they didn't really "mean" to sell in force the market so they made some "scalp" shorts of really small size. It did work and with tiny volume they retracted really well. When the session end neared, they simply closed their positions for profit(volume nearly doubled as buying began), and are probably getting ready to rally tomorrow, or try the same tactic again
