There isn’t a day of the week that I don’t think about Slope and how it can be made better and more useful. As we near the end of the year, I’d like to solicit your help so I can prioritize our efforts. Please take a few moments to tell me what matters to you among these choices. Thank you! (If for any reason you don’t see the survey below, here is a direct link).
Slope of Hope Blog Posts
Slope initially began as a blog, so this is where most of the website’s content resides. Here we have tens of thousands of posts dating back over a decade. These are listed in reverse chronological order. Click on any category icon below to see posts tagged with that particular subject, or click on a word in the category cloud on the right side of the screen for more specific choices.
This Is NOT Bearish!
Originally published on Tues Nov 5 on ElliottWaveTrader.net: Oftentimes, you need to have patience when it comes to the metals. You see, while they move very quickly when they do move, the rest of the time they simply consolidate until they are ready for their next big move.
We have been waiting to see if the market is going to provide us that deeper pullback we wanted to see, and today seems to have triggered that potential. But, not all charts are showing the same degree of weakness.
(more…)The Price of Cowardice
I wanted to share two related experiences last week. They do not reflect well on me, but if nothing else, Slope is known for being open and honest, so we might as well continue that tradition.
Let’s begin with this beauty:

Sixty/Four (Part 3 of 4)
Preface to all four parts: I presently have sixty short positions. I have divided them into four equal parts, so I will post 15 charts in 4 separate posts. Posts 1 and 3 are for everyone, and posts 2 and 4 are only for Gold and Diamond members. Click on any chart for a large version, and use the left/right arrow icons on the large chart to navigate the entire set.
