this trading style/tactic is similar to tom demark's... though his is a bit more complex from what i understand or rather can't understand lol

you can see to an extent at what price the option was traded, and you make a guess based on the price.. atleast thats how i do it..

 

for example.. ABC calls are trading at .50x .60.. if you see an order go through at .50, you assume soemone sold it or shorted it

 

edit: damn.. 3 posts in a row by me.. do you know the odds of me posting 3x in a row?? its happened once in the past 5 years! how do i trade this?

To anyone who was active in the markets during the fall of 2008: Do you remember how often there were 5 consecutive down days?

When i first began trading i watched Ira Epstiens videos evry day and still do and he would use bolinger bands and always said it  is a matematical fact the you will trade inside the BB 98% opf the time,only 2% will be outside the bolingerbands..He also said the most he ever saw was 5 days in a row where a stock traded outside those bands so what Rock is saying makes sense,,,

From ZH

 

The last time we had 6 consecutive down days was February 13-23, 2009. Which is before March 2009, . Which is when the S&P hit 666. Which is when the Fed started Q1. As for the last time we had 5 down days in a row was in August of 2010, just when the Hindenburg Omen was spotted and threatened to undo the entire Centrally Planned house of cards... Which is when the Fed started QE2. Pattern emerging?

with every consecutive down day, the probability of a green day obviously increases right? How does this play in with percentage decrease. Any research on say, down more than 5% total= good chance of a bounce?

 

You can have 2 really big down days, or 5 smaller ones that equal the same percentage loss.

 

I just kinda play it by ear, after 3 moderate days or 2 big days, I'll fade rallys and buy dips.

-1054 tick  trying to knock the little rally off balance

 

Internals got pushed from pinkish back into red.

Aren't the odds in Roullette after drawing 10 red numbers in a row, the same % chance of drawing a red number on the next spin, the same? suspicious.gif

 

This is how folks lose money in that game as well, they see those silly signs showing its hit red a bunch and they keep betting on black and well the odds of the game never changed.

I'm so tired of this wildly/randomly oscillating market... I just want to get into cash so I can stop watching it and enjoy the holidays.  Absolutely impossible to make a high probability trade in this chop.
