Matt/Steve -- I've noticed you guys are using VWAP on some of your charts lately -- I've used it over the years and sometimes I've thought it was helpful and other times not -- just wondering on what your thoughts are on it? Do you think it's more helpful in periods of high volatility? 

This article from ZeroHedge last year was right on in predicting what happened today with the blow up of the XIV. At the time it was posted here in the trading community. Here is is again...

Yeah, there's been a ton of support every time it goes south of 10,000 -- if we get a daily close down  in the 9000s then I think we could get a quick flush much lower. I haven't been trading it, just watching -- good spectator sport! But maybe it is kind of a risk/off trade today...

Bitcoin is down about 12% today, testing the lows of the last two months. Wondering if it isn't becoming a very good risk on/risk off indicator for markets...maybe a leading indicator? Or maybe just in its own world.

Good reminder Matt -- about how to use candle lows in conjunction with crossovers -- thanks.

Thank you Matt and Steve for all your great work -- Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year!

An observation and another attempt to post a chart....Noticing that GDX, if it closed here, would close above the 200 MA and 200 EMA for the first time since breaking below in late October. Right now being held just below the 50 after opening just above it.  Probably not today, but if GLD can close above the 50, and with the GDX/GLD ratio finally breaking it's trend line and looking up, maybe the we could get another run going.

Hummm...dragged the chart into the Drop Files Box and it loaded and I got a check mark by it but it's not here???

Hey Matt -- The site looks great! Just tried it on my new iPhone and it works great there too -- love having it sized for the phone! Going to try to post a chart of AAPL just for a test and see if it works like it's supposed to -- Yep, works perfectly, much easier!  Love it

Congratulations on getting it up and working!

Wow, that's really interesting. Thanks for posting it Matt.

Fascinating stats....

Matt -- great work on the Breakout Trade -- are there conditions under which it will exit before the hard stop?

And, does the Breakout Trade ever take second positions?

Yep, it's a very good thing that you developed the breakout system 

That's a long ways to 2575, Just a crazy thought -- might the SPX act like the IWM and go vertical -- that would be just a little less than the distance from the bottom of the consolidation on 8/21 at 2417 to the top of the consolidation -- kind of an inverse H&S, -- sorry I can post a chart right now -- to the breakout of the highs around 2489. With the kind of momentum that's going on right now maybe the big surprise might be that we go from very overbought to very, very, very overbought...

It seems like this trade has a tight stop and since it's a breakout system does it buy pullbacks after a first entry? Or does it take a second entry if the trade continues to push higher? Thanks.

Thanks Mia -- that's a great site -- never knew about it before you posted.

Just go for a Quick Pick -- why make more decisions than you need to 

WOW! That may be the single best eclipse photo I've seen -- thanks for posting!
