Dowboys, lets take it down here. say 540 YM? too many are too confident..

Why a lot of fancy math can’t help investors beat the market

because the market is all math. esp now with the algo's. you can eyeball a chart full of candles, or do rigor math on the underlying data. which would you put confidence in? given the choice, which i doubt you have. i know i don't

i can't do the rigor, i eyeball, and you can see where that's got me.

having said that, i do alright :)

Those yanks really want to see how far they can push it before the sellers step in.

Given a set of working assumptions, math creates the best models.

ps having said that:

kicked math genius Anands azz, twice :)

Magnus plays thru with intuition.
Magnus is a positional player, as oppsed to tactical.

I am a positional palyer, requires judgement over tactics AKA the long game:/

da bulls need a reason to take profit, and we shorts aren't giving them one.

we seem weak. like liberals ;)
till we do they will keep on hammering us.

da bull on steroids
 
at the first sign of weakness...the first sign ..you'll see a lot of limp bull dicks.

and that is near my friends
 
See now it looks like the S&P is pushing for a full 50 point swing from the low on Monday 2,322. Cause thats the sort of p1ss taking they do. The dow isnt happy about it and is being dragged along for the ride.
I'm short dax and so its clouding my judgement (thats a big problem in this game seeing what you want and not whats actually happening).
I could see the s&p closing high and gaping open 2372 and falling from there, but I hope not. Cause thats going to squeeze the life out of my dax position.

You can see the S&P gapping open to 72? LOL Confidence level pls?
 
if you can just push them off their game...a tick...throw them off balance..make them Q themselves..

you have them.

often it's only a TICK that can sway
 
as we get closer to the close da bulls dick gets limper..

c'mon bulls, you have a large SET? lets see em! FLASH THEM HERE!

ya, thats what i thought the anti-climax into the close :D

gap down 2morrow?
 
With the advent of HFT/computer algos has driven all us human traders as "positional" traders. judgement traders anything over a millisec is positional these days. :/

sad as that may be, it is an inevitable as self-driven cars

ahh last rant, lets get back to trading lets beat these aholes at there long game:)
