Peter, where you been babe? Still have not done a whit on the Market for the week.......I'm always reluctant to divine an ultra short week like this. As for Tom Trader, he has he power to put life.....yea, verily, form life and substance into this thread. His lack of response to our pleas is nothing less than a dereliction of duty! Here is a man who breathed life into Futures on Silicon Investor. A person who personified the hope, the prayers, the distant dreams of those who defied the treacherous waters of Futures Trading. He appears to have abandoned us in our hour of Challenge.... Great Sorrow is amongst us. We reach out for the Grail and Tom denies it from our grasp. Do you think that he is one of those fellows that cannot figure out the butterfly ballot?

Peter! HI! How are you? Good I hope. At this point I have not figured the interemediate term Delta, but have printed out some SPX charts to figure it. Just haven't gotten to it yet. The manner I used about 9 months ago was rather successful and I am employing it again in hopes of more success. What I do is look for all identical weeks, in this case Week 2 going back in my dataset and looking for a couple prior weeks that set up the same as the last couple weeks. It is never exact, but you can come up with some good possibilities. In doing that, the main pattern that showed up for this next week was a V shape. Now that I have put this forth in the public forum, I feel a bit more pressure and hope that I have read this week correctly. We shall see. The other thing I have been using rather successfully is the 20ema1, 20ema3 and 20ema5 coupled with candlestick reads. It is rather subjective and I have to get better, but it is working out pretty well. I have concluded I am much better at determining very short term movements than I am at the longer stuff. Scalping seems to be what I need to stick with. Anyway, hope we can continue this converstation. Good to hear from you.
