So here we have a day in which the ES, NQ, RTY, and ZB are all bright green. In spite of that, I just got this SlopeAlert:

August, Die She Must
Even though I’ve written about 40,000 posts (literally), I really do try to avoid repeating post titles. I’m making an exception here, though, since this Simon & Garfunkel line is truly in my heart.
Let’s do a monthly price bars review, shall we? I’ll focus on ETFs, with remarks in the caption of each.

The Big Boy
Today was the 11th goddamned day in a row. that the Dow Industrials went up. Eleven. Consecutive. Days. Can you IMAGINE the kinds of Congressional hearings that would be called if the Dow went DOWN eleven days in a row? I can’t. Because it would never happen.

Day & Swing Trading (by DCB)
This was going to be too long for a comment so here is a quick post.
I have read dozens of books about trading and have used all the indicators out there. I have also listened
to many people here and have tried many traders styles. Some I have incorporated into my own system that I liked. I heard both Sniper and AWC both say the same thing, all that matters is support and resistance so that burned in to my head.
For day trades I noticed something I hadn’t paid close attention to. First always remember the trend dictates whether you should be long or short and you must, MUST lose any bias you have for the current market and economic conditions or general news. Last year was to look for shorts, but this year it is looking for longs. That could change next week and you MUST change with them.
