clarification on the blog

Posted by sporopat on 11th of May 2010 at 08:28 pm

Yes, very true Steve.  I work a day job and I am crazy busy right now so I not able to read the blog during the day, let alone post anything.  I would assume there are many others in the same boat as myself.  I check in when I can and I always appreciate all the great information that is posted.  

For those who day trade, this blog is golden (I've been a regular lurker when work has been slow)

Wow, thanks Rank!  Got any

Wow, thanks Rank!  Got any favorites out of the bunch?

I'm so with you Deb,

Webinar Comments

Posted by sporopat on 6th of Apr 2010 at 08:30 pm

I'm so with you Deb, I had some good deep belly laughs during the first bit.  There were some good zingers. 

No worries Matt, there will always be bugs the first time you try something like this out.  Once you have all the bugs worked out, the occasional webinar will be a fantastic learning tool for all of us!

Thanks Peter.  That's much better

Thanks Peter.  That's much better than what I had thought!  How long did it take to make the 60%?

So looking at the BGU,

SSO 30 min system

Posted by sporopat on 29th of Mar 2010 at 12:32 pm

So looking at the BGU, it took over 100 trades to make 5% (not sure if I am looking at it correctly)?   Looking at the profit curve for SSO that you posted on Friday, about 30% was made in under 100 trades.  How many weeks/months to generate the 100 trades (I guess the proper question is how long back do these results reflect)? Thanks.

 

Toronto Bubble

Canadian Bubble

Posted by sporopat on 21st of Mar 2010 at 02:43 pm

I manage a microbiology lab and there are 7 people in my dept including myself.  Four have just bought homes in the last few months (three are first time buyers and one is upgrading).  My husband and I were also looking to upgrade from our tiny two bedroom which would have made us #5 out of 7 but we're planning on holding tight for now cause things are so crazy (no way we are going to walk into these bidding wars)! 

I totally agree mvachon, if a five year rate goes up even a couple of percentage points by the time people have to renew in 5 years and with the way people have totally stretched themselves right now, things have got to cool down the road.  Nobody is talking seriously about there being a bubble but the signs seem like they are there in Toronto (I don't think it has been quite as crazy outside of the city).  Maybe things will cool after the summer but who knows.

Thanks for the charts marketguy!

Toronto Housing - My 2 cents

China's Housing Bubble

Posted by sporopat on 17th of Mar 2010 at 03:51 pm

I'm just going to put my two cent in on this one.  I live in Toronto and my husband and I are looking to upgrade to a house from our townhouse condo.  We aren't in a hurry so we have just been casually going to open houses in the neighbourhoods we are thinking of moving to. 

There are serious bidding wars going on and all the houses we have looked at have been sold in 24 hours from when offers are being taken, going for way more than the asking price.  My cousin put her house on the market and she sold it in 8 hours.  There is definitely a frantic feeling in the air.  The open houses we've been too have been "tense" with most people bringing their agents in tow.

I personally think it is because of the low rates and because of all the taxes and rules that are going to be coming into effect. 

We are just going to sit tight for now.  I could never stomach bidding $100,000 more for a place.  If space really becomes an issue (when we have our 2nd kid down the road), we'll rent out our place and then rent a separate place for ourselves.  I refuse to be part of a bidding war.

 

Hi Matt,  when the long

Interesting take....

Posted by sporopat on 16th of Mar 2010 at 01:26 pm

Hi Matt,  when the long term indicator does produce a buy or sell (I know you mentioned it only happened about once a year), do you think you could send out a special e-mail letting everyone know? 

Some days/weeks I am able to check into BPT many times and listen to every update and other times I am too busy with work and family.  If the signal only happens very rarely, I would hate to miss it for some reason.

Hey Matt - Will any

Exciting Stuff Coming in the future

Hey Matt - Will any of these systems be able to be set up using Ninja Trader?

Matt, a little while back

5 min SPX

Posted by sporopat on 25th of Jan 2010 at 11:08 am

Matt, a little while back you mentioned about putting a wave count on the Stocastics.  Does this looking like the 5th wave on the regular Sto or am I way off?

Great Video Matt!

$SPX...

That was extremely helpful!  Thanks!

GDX

Posted by sporopat on 22nd of Jan 2010 at 03:35 pm

Could that be a inverse head and shoulders pattern on the 15 min time frame?  It's kinda wonky looking so looking for confirmation from someone else. 

Would you be able to

1 min SPY

Posted by sporopat on 21st of Jan 2010 at 11:27 am

Would you be able to post the URL for the 1 min chart?

Hi Steve,  Do you mean that

Posted by sporopat on 19th of Jan 2010 at 11:55 am

Hi Steve, 

Do you mean that wave 5 will be a quick pop?

Thanks.

 

Hi Rank, Would you be able

improved VXX mechanical system

Posted by sporopat on 16th of Jan 2010 at 09:14 pm

Hi Rank,

Would you be able to post the stats for the 1st VXX system you created?  I'm having problems downloading more than a month's worth of VXX data from IB into Ninja for some reason.  Thanks for all your great ideas!

 

Thanks Rank!!!  Great trading ideas and charts.  Thanks for sharing!

VXX

Posted by sporopat on 13th of Jan 2010 at 12:10 pm

Would this be a possible place to buy VXX?  Looks like the E of an ABCDE triangle on a 15 min chart.

FEED and COIN

SEED trade idea

Posted by sporopat on 11th of Jan 2010 at 03:37 pm

Hi Matt - These ones were popular recommendations by BPT's back in Mar- June and I made some quick bucks with them.  Perhaps they are getting ready to pop again as well?  COIN looks like it has amazing volume today.   Whatcha think?

Oh Matt that is awesome!!!!! 

VXX mechanical system

Posted by sporopat on 10th of Jan 2010 at 09:08 pm

Oh Matt that is awesome!!!!!  That's perfect for us Canadians that are very limited in what/who we can use!!!  Whenever you have made mentions about the store you will be setting up, it bummed me out a bit because I felt like I would be missing out....but this is awesome news!!!!  I am really looking forward to it!!

Thank you for sharing Rank. 

VXX mechanical system

Posted by sporopat on 10th of Jan 2010 at 08:53 pm

Thank you for sharing Rank.  It looks pretty interesting!  I spent yesterday trying to figure out how to code the breakeven parameter in Ninja using the Ninjatrader help blog and I think I figured it out (I'm not too good with creating strategies outside of the wizard).  If anything, that will be a good bit of code to apply to strategies in the future.  Thanks again!
