Trading the SPI

[Bobby]

I promise to not post any more about my internet connection problem ... but in case it helps anyone ... my last effort this morning was to connect 2nd pc directly to the router (via ethernet cable) ... and guess what ... no connection! ... this led me to think the ethernet cable was shorted out when the power failure. Not having a spare, took the pc to my guru to have it checked. Diagnosis was A1! ... connected and worked perfectly on his network ... so guess what? ... he said ... "it has to be the cable. Here's a spare @ $12.50!" Took it all home, hooked it up with the new cable and ... bingo!! .. connected again!!

Now the hard work start to catch up on the last 48hrs ... thanks guys for your thoughts ... even if it was "I wish he'd take this elsewhere!" ..

Good to here the problem was just the cable ! welcome back .

I have a great system for sale if anyone wants it, but you need a time machine to go back in time 10 minutes to take the signals.

Only $49.95(time machine not included)

Hahhahahahahaah!


You guys crack me up… Here I am, trying to be serious, charting away, and analysing options strategies, and what do I find?

A pit of mirth and naughtiness!

I think I can hear the sound of a TARDIS going off in Bronte’s backyard!

Hang on, I’ll just go forward in time to find out what happens at close. Anyone interested?

Mags!

Hello Margaret,


How are you? Hope you’re enjoying the sunshine up there! (very hot yesterday here – they even made it a total fire ban!).

I tend to agree with your viewpoint here about being respectful of other posters. I do have concerns about ramping, misguiding, or spruiking. In B&B’s situation I don’t see them doing any of these things, so I’m happy to just watch this thread from time to time to see what the daily perception is here. Although I do note the joint moderator’s concerns about the potential for hindsight trading.

Regards



Magdoran

P.S. Oh, I didn’t think that I declined to talk about option diagonals (indeed I thought my PM response gave you some ideas of what I was doing), it was more the complexity involved in getting such an advanced idea over in this kind of forum (although there is some IP I would prefer some players – particularly market makers - not know about). There are so many different aspects to it, and all of them are an art in themselves, and I’ve fused them all together…

Part of the complexity stems from using pattern based time and price points in T/A terms, in tandem with the morphing of OTM positions using diagonal approaches. Add to this playing the market makers strategy.

The difficulty in dealing with these strategies in the forums is that they are not static approaches. I have difficulty getting the message over even when dealing with people face to face despite access to software and a whiteboard. Either the T/A stumps them, or the options logic, or both… (I’m not saying you wouldn’t be savvy enough Margaret, I’m sure you’d find holes in my thinking!).

Hi Mag,

Yes, nice weather here although a bit windy on the waterfront today.

No problem with the diagonals and understand where you are coming from - just a useful illustration that not all questions will be answered on a public forum in detail due to complexity and/or IP reasons.

Due to my interest in the SPI and the time I invested into it in the first few years of trading, I have probably read every post on this SPI thread since joining ASF with particular interest to Bronte's due to my initial trading with basic Gann and the SPI.

So, in all that time of watching her posts, I honestly haven't seen the "hindsight" trades - maybe very occasionally, but no more than from other posters generally on ASF. Sometimes Bronte will call her S/R level for the day as the SPI is trading close to that level, but to be fair, no-one really knows at that stage whether the SPI will stop there or continue on it's merry way straight through it - so I would not interpret that as "hindsight"!

I sometimes wonder how many others have actually tracked Bronte's calls as consistently and with the detail that I have over time, regularly checking them against the intraday SPI charts which are accessable through futuresource.com. Bronte talks of using stops, so they obviously don't expect every one to work - so not promoting a holy grail. I remain mystified

I'm certainly interested in how others trade the SPI, as I have found even the basics I learned in Gann analysis to be very time consuming. Certainly not promoting Gann, rather just hoping fellow poster can be given a fair go. Anyway, my .

Cheers,

Margaret.

Margaret,

Battman (and I still am 99.99999999999% sure Bronte = Battman) has a history on fora outside of this one, many of us know about. This accounts for much of what you see here.

'nuff said?

 

[Bronte]

Wayne,
Just what are we seeing here?
Thank you for the kind words Margaret

 

[Bronte]

Looking forward to seeing this....good luck.
(Please try and keep him honest Wayne)

As Wayne keeps us honest Professor

Hmmm, does "hindsight" trades then have anything to do with it or is it really more to do with previous personality clashes or grudges?

I have heard and also noted the occasional posts where past problems on another forum have been referenced and perhaps is causing the upsetting remarks that comes through on this thread. However, I don't know any details of the past and can't for the life of me see what Bronte is doing wrong at ASF

I'm not so sure about Bronte being Battman - if they are married, they would most likely share the same IP address - but their posting styles are different IMO Perhaps Bronte can verify this...

Hope you can understand where I'm coming from - trying to understand the other side, but honestly, just very hard to make sense of it.

Margaret,

We've been through all this before, and quite frankly, I resent your implication. I do not carry grudges. That is obvious. Ask Tech/A or Duc.

I have never conversed with Battman outside of this forum. Therefore a "grudge" is not possible.

But seriously, I would be sure to collect all the facts before jumping into the same corner as Battman.

 

[Bronte]

Please explain.

Why the distrust Wayne ?
PM me if you prefer.

 

[Bronte]

What are "all the facts" you are not holding a grudge aginst?

 

[wayneL]

You are asking me to dish out the dirt in public? I won't betray confidences unless permitted to by those that have told me stuff. I would have to check with them first.... but then I have to be careful not to make either me or Joe liable.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm maybe I'll just keep it to myself and those who already know.

 

[Bronte]

Why the distrust Wayne ?
PM me if you prefer.

That is purely upto you Wayne
We will be 'saving to file' all posts

 

[Bronte]

Could it be something that is supposed to have
happened three to four years ago?

 

[wayneL]

Is that a legal threat?
