The ST buy signal given in video has reached sell area - so 'easy' part of bounce up is done.

Very difficult ST read here, which is why I said wouldn't touch it -  maybe news over weekend as well.

 

Today on my signals is acting more like OPEX . Particularly the VIx etc has not acting normal,

and been fly in ointment for sell setups as not dropping.

 

Things shd be clearer once monday AM open out the way.

Hi Mark, hope all is well, cant believe how many are on the bear market wagon (and those bear update posts without any info, a good tell), good chance we hit close to new highs in december imo...or else next year....

 

may still end up in 2000-2300 next year or 2020...

 

There is a lot of baiting on forums.  Notice the guy with all crash posts says in another that he is still bullish.  There seems to be a lot of superstitition.

superstition and disgust at one's own mistakes - maybe they go hand in hand

yes i did not take anything today, and yes about the on off cycling, sometimes i felt my head got clogged up (maybe says more about my state) and then i stopped doing supplements and would feel "light" again

 

do you also have some supplement free days, do you just focus on diet then

....

market, well this seems a lot like brexit, but any drop will get bought i think, otherwise i guess it gaps above 2800

 

Head 'clogged' - can be either cytokines, or neurotransmitters, in simple term either an immune reaction to the supplement or 'signalling issue', or

an alteration of brain chemistry.   

->Better to only add ONE new thing for few weeks to figure out what is cause. Even better, spend some months increasing 'self observation' skills to 

establish base line  mood, mental capacity, physical state etc before taking anything, to note changes. Just had my son do this process, otherwise

people will just say 'I can't tell' in regard to what a supplement does - I can ALWAYS tell, either no change, positive or negative because my self

observation is 5 sigma lol   ..also to isolate one's own 'natural cycles' ( women, FAR harder, men pretty simple) ..

 ->effect of sleep is huge, stress response, and diet ..all variables in body who's effect are bigger than any supplements ( natural ones at least!) 

 

Supplement free? depends on definition of supplement. I think in term of chemistry - everything we eat has chemical interaction. What I 

do take breaks from are: 

 - anything that causes shutdown of body own systems through feedback  ( mostly hormones or neurotransmitter 'stuff')

 - anything that has strong anti-oxidant effect  

 - anything that can build toxicity.

 

I don't take that much non-food type supplements, mostly I mix drinks using extract versions of 'things that grow', not 'things from laboratories'.

My 'diet' is 50% 'green drinks', try to avoid sugar except chocolate because well, chocolate is single greatest food in existence lol ...don't eat

anything processed at all ..carbs from banana's mostly, some rice .. protein from fish mostly, organic chicken, fats ..lots of the good kinds.

 

Market - cd gap up monday, not sure about 2800, 2780 is doable ...but looking for turn down there short term ...monday looks very important session

 for the Intermediate term ..more over weekend when i've loaded up on brain enhancing chemicals lol

I love green drinks after workouts - kale, parsley, spinach, banana and dates. I stay away from all supplements, specially the synthetic stuff.

Sounds good Nav. Agree 100% about synthetic stuff, most supplements contain additives that are not great as well. 

What kind of workouts do you do Nav? 

 

I think in terms of nutrients.  There are alot of nutrients in plants, herbs, roots, flowers  that have potential health enhancing properties, and would be impossible practically to gather and or take  in beneficial quantities. So, that is kind of 'supplement' I take - for example,  certain mushrooms like cordyceps.  

What I do not take, is vitamines for example, because much better to get in plant sources - or most of stuff on the 'health' aisles.

 

I ought to say, my motivation for managing my health is different to most people. In my case as relax knows, I was diagnosed 11 years ago with a serious health issue I nearly died from, that has no cure, only short term pharmacology for  symptoms suppression, with disease progression and poor long term prognosis. So I experimented on myself over that period to find something that would help. It took about 8 years of an absolute 'living hell' trying over 300 substances, most did nothing, but a few helped, and now provided I take those I keep it under control and have good health,, better ironically than most people my age, something I was told literally was told was impossible. So like all quests for knowledge, its a journey, and there is no simple way to convey that knowledge just like say learning to trade, only the body-mind is even more of a 'complex dynamic problem' than markets.  Nearly dying with 3 young children and being in  constant pain and unable to function, is a strong motivator to 'think outside the box' when the box is empty.  That doesn't mean I advise others to do same, but, that was my motivation.   I was also 'lucky' to have scientific training, and self observatory ability. 

 

Still, trading can be quite stressful, so managing that with exercise, mind-body 'stuff' is worth consideration for traders. No point trying to earn money trading

if it ends up reducing quality of life, or killing you earlier.

GS is not buying this rally.

 

Noted Alex, also BKX looks corrective up move, and close to strong resistance.

https://www.screencast.com/t/fn85XKsho

 

Also seems a big flip in sentiment for monday - more on that later.

 

Still, rally likely has more time/price to go toward 2780, but if Monday AM disappoints, might not be straightforward.

Monday AM short Term setup - looks very important.

https://www.screenca...m/t/Vma1eG3AwAS

 

Quick look at, discussion of some sentiment data.

https://www.screencast.com/t/Eni1Zqi0

 

In bulls favor is LQ right here. Though we didn't get typical readings at the low hence why I question an IT low.

LQ Momo chart.

https://www.screencast.com/t/lnNbwQfH

 

But Bulls definitely have the ball, but, so far since October they haven't been able to run with i.e. take out previous high, currently 2820.

Monday will likely be a big tell on this.
