Can Matt or Steve weigh

Posted by steveo on 17th of May 2024 at 06:17 pm

Can Matt or Steve weigh in on this?   I closed out my SLV.    Now if I trade SLV again and take a loss, it will not "count" to reduce my income as it will be called a wash sale.   Its really quite shameful the law is like this. 

for stock technical trading I hypothesize that when the wilders RSI 14 daily does a double top about 70, there is a large chance for at least a near term pullback.   Can you find stats to prove or disprove or assign odds at least

The hypothesis that a double top pattern in the daily RSI (Relative Strength Index) above 70 often leads to a near-term pullback has some support in technical analysis literature. Several sources provide insight into the behavior of RSI in overbought conditions and its implications for potential pullbacks.

  1. RSI Overbought Conditions: When the RSI exceeds 70, it indicates that an asset is overbought, suggesting that a pullback may be imminent. Historical data shows that selling signals triggered when the RSI crosses below 70 after being above this level often correlate with short-term price declines ( Quantified Strategies) ( TradingSim).

  2. Double Top Pattern in RSI: The double top pattern in RSI, where the RSI hits above 70 twice before pulling back, is considered a bearish signal. This pattern indicates that momentum is weakening, even though the price may be reaching new highs. It often precedes a price reversal or pullback ( Quantified Strategies) ( Quantified Strategies).

  3. Backtesting Results: Backtesting of RSI-based strategies generally shows that signals from overbought conditions (RSI > 70) can be profitable. For example, a study of the S&P 500 using a range-momentum trading strategy based on RSI showed that while such strategies do not generate frequent signals, the ones they do produce are often profitable. This implies that overbought conditions, particularly with confirming patterns like a double top, can indeed lead to significant pullbacks ( Quantified Strategies).

Posted by DigiNomad on 17th of May 2024 at 04:11 pm

Meaningless, in fact. Look at Japan - they just announced they've been in recession for 3 quarters, and Germany, and the list goes on. All of the above are either making or have made recent market highs. It's all about currency debasement - almost 100%. Once that variable in plugged in, it all starts to make logical financial sense.  I know my analysis became orders of magnitude less complicated once I figure it out this seemingly obvious but not so obvious fact (the gaslighting is heavy when it comes to getting people to look in other directions for explanations - you get hammered as biased if you say currency dilution is causing market rallies). I was honestly a bit frustrated until it really clicked....and I mean it had to REALLY click...then I was fine. Game on - I just had to understand the game because my stupid personality demands it for some reason. Life would be easier if I just blindly followed trends but that's not me. 

My conspiracy theory is that

Posted by steveo on 17th of May 2024 at 05:13 pm

My conspiracy theory is that 60% of the totally unaccountable money we send to "Ukraine" gets returned to leftist organizations and foundations in the USA as US stocks transferred in kind.   Prove me wrong.

No. You prove you are

Posted by DigiNomad on 17th of May 2024 at 05:19 pm

Haha. But 80% never gets sent to Ukraine in the first place - most of it goes to enrich the long time Gov / military executives running ITA components. The 20% or less that goes to Ukraine is mostly a bribe.  *FWIW - we look down our noses at bribes in America but it's basically a mandatory part of doing business around the world (I will not provide personal examples on a public website....but I guess just trust me). 

Here's the bulk of the Ukraine funding:

I closed out my SLV, I had a large position, my biggest net profit of last 2 years, nice.    No joke, can buy a house in Japan with that. 

Also closed the SPY proxy for the /MES breakout long, LOL pays Matts fee for the year.

The FED has all but gotten on the table and screamed "stop wasting your money on protection - we are the damn put! Let tax payers pay for it in the next bailout."  A high VIX in this environment would be weird. Even if things were terrible (arguable depending on the economists you listen to),  the Fed has made their support very clear.

Posted by matt on 17th of May 2024 at 02:58 pm

sorry I was trying to post this in time but BA just popped. here's the image, BA had a fairly large offer there at 184.18, here is shows 4103 shares offered there, but it was 7,000  - when those large offers match a resistance level, generally you get a quick pop once that offer is taken out

anyway price took that offer before I was able to post, but this can be an educational example

Posted by matt on 17th of May 2024 at 03:06 pm

ha ha Steve and I know a couple guys, that's all they do, look for large level 2 offers and scalp all day - the guys are good at what they do but so fast, I tried to follow some of their trades in a chat room and when I was getting my  order in they were already scaling out LOL.  They are almost high frequency human bot traders 

 Those guys are lightning trades LOL, so damn fast - not my style, I do some day trades on momo stocks and futures, but I like to catch more swing trades  - and I'm so busy anyway interacting with customers, and working on systems, website stuff, no time for me to hyper focus all day long on level 2 scalping 100s of times

Ahhh, makes sense. I hope it's something like "Siri - help us make money" ....but not Siri.  Siri is going in down in history as the worst AI humans ever created    It's so bad that they didn't even try to improve it and just did a deal with Google instead to cover that area for them.
