Hi everyone,
Just a tidbit of info. on a post I found helpful here.
I received the Free newsletter/report on Forex and Options Trading that was
posted.
It was very thorough and quite helpful. I especially liked the updated reports
on the major currencies. I believe this is the link...

Great opportunity to hedge your portfolio.
The foreign currency markets have huge profit potential and limited

Hello group!
I made a nice profit in the FOREX markets doing some short term
OPTIONS trading recently. I just got interested in this over the past
year. Now I'm on the prowl looking for as much information as I can
gather to give me an edge trading in these markets.
I found this nice Forex website that offers a free newsletter/report
on the US dollar, Euro, and Japanes Yen, as well as a FAQ and an
Options Guide. I had it sent to me and found it to be quite a bit of
a help in regards to trading in the Forex market. I'm posting the
link so others can benefit from this tool as well.

Hi everyone:

Just wanted to share a strategy that I am using that is working really well
right now.  I am selling a spread on an index through selling a call and put
into the market at different strike prices on the same day.  I am selling way
out of the money (low risk) but still am able to collect a nice premium as my
contracts expire.  So far this year I have done roughly 80% on my portfolio.  If
your interested in seeing how this works please email me or you can go to
www.optioneer.com. I purchased the system from them for 3,000 dollars and made
that back my first month. Also if you want to see a sample of what I am doing
let me know and I will send you my spreadsheet for the trade I currently have on
the S&P 500.  It is doing really well despite the market conditions.  Let me
know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

... some EASY and PRACTICAL tools for your trading plan.

http://easy-trading-tools.tk

LIMITED EDITION:

Invest $270.oo in your easy trading
tools  and you will learn exactly
what W.D.Gann  did NOT tell you
about TIME and PRICE  !!

Hi folks,

Writing this ebook:
"Cardinal Astrographs ..........
                  ......... easy trading tools"
has taken a lot longer than expected,
but it has been worth the wait!!

http://easy-trading-tools.tk

You will learn about some NEW
trading  tools  to EASILY forecast
TIME and PRICE !!


Over 180 pages of PRACTICAL and EASY trading tools,
including time and price projections, trading strategies
and an introduction to SIMPLE astrotrading ....
  (no indepth knowledge of astrology required) and there's
NO EXPENSIVE software needed to put these methods into
practice.

Learn how to identify TIME & PRICE targets !!

Add to that help by FROOP, 21 price charts,
9 figures and 13 tables to help illustrate the
points made in the text ..... now we can start
to see, why it has taken so long for this little
gem to be unearthed.

My motivation for writing this ebook was to open
up discussion on many areas that have been previously
considered taboo .... like price and time projections
and their relationships to astrotrading strategies, as
one example.

To this end a discussion forum, for investors in this
book, has been setup to answer queries and promote
further exchanges of ideas on this trading frontier.

Easy trading tools to confirm your own  technical
analysis of ANY market .....

For chartists, this book introduces some simple methods
to help you realise the potential of the TIME axis on
their charts. That means, getting more information out
of the charts to help make better market timing decisions.

Using PRICE as our primary indicator in technical analysis
gives us only HALF-OF-THE-STORY.

Don't miss this opportunity to get your charts really
talking to you, revealing the whole story, by evaluating
  both the TIME and the PRICE axis, with easy trading tools.

Add some advanced charting tools to include analysis of
  the TIME AXIS and go "beyond Gann" to explore how you
can use the cosmic clock for better market timing.

  How to use SIMPLE astrotrading tools to identify key trading days ...!!

For fundamentalists, some simple mathematical formulae
can be used to approximate price extremes and probable
key trading dates.

Often it is on these key dates, when markets breakout to
continue the old trend or make a trend reversal. These
key dates, will often coincide with company or commodity
news that is due to hit the marketplace, resulting in
a windfall for those informed in a timely manner.

  Develop your trading skills, with some easy trading tools ......

.............. easy trading tools that will provide you with some
  ESSENTIAL and PRACTICAL trading techniques going forward.

  Soon, these trading methods become second nature, just
  like riding a bicycle ... once learned, never forgotten.

  You can also be assured that most of what you will find,
  in my "Cardinal Astrographs" ebook on market timing,
  has NEVER been seen in print, before now.

Improve your WIN/LOSS ratio in your trading:

By using these easy trading tools, as part of your overall
trading plan, your market timing will improve and you will
trade more profitably, as your win/loss ratio gets better.

At last, the private investor now has the opportunity to use
some cutting edge trading tools, before the funds and brokers.

You also have access to a support group of
  other traders using these new methods ...

  A forum, where these new trading concepts may be discussed
and expanded upon is already providing a support mechanism
for all those investing in this ebook.

At US $270.oo, "Cardinal Astrographs ... easy trading tools"
is presented in .pdf format, as a permanent record on
CD-ROM, along with a FREE copy of my first trading-related
ebook ... "Trading Plan ... wozzat?".

I thought I would share a lesson with you that I did for PitNews about support
and resistance levels. I have also attached a chart so you can see what we are
talking about here.

This technique works weather you are trading equities or futures, day trading,
or position trading. I hope you like it. For those of you who might not have
charting software, you can view what happened on this trade at

Hope you enjoy this little lesson, I use it all the time.

Does anyone know of companies or individuals that will provide
statistical and analytics services to optimize and improve the
performance of a trading system or strategy?

My assumption for this service is:

The trader supplies a few years of either real or hypothetical system
results to define system performance. This would include just the
basic information: Date, Long/Short trade and a Win or Loss flag. The
optimization would use advanced statistical and data mining software
to predict the reliability of the trade signals from the trader?s
system. This could be called a "forecast of the forecast" or a filter
on the trading system. The goal is to predict when the trading system
will fail to accurately anticipate the market, thus eliminating
loosing trades and increasing overall profits.

My intent is to start such a service so I would like to find if I have
any competitors. At the moment I am an unemployed Data Mining
Specialist (this being a computer person who finds predictive patterns
hidden in large amounts of data) with lots of time on my hands. The
multiple software programs I have for optimization tend to retail at
$50,000 and above and therefore are out of the price range as well as
skill level of all but the largest investors. Also they are far more
effective then the programs selling for $500 or $1000 that are
advertised in futures trade magazines. So I?m thinking there may be an
underserved market for high end optimization and analytics among mid
and small sized traders.

The result of the optimization would include several components
depending on the results of the analysis. At a minimum you would get a
daily forecast of the estimated reliability of any signals that your
trading system would generate for the following day. With luck my
software may be able to isolate definable indicators that will improve
the reliability of your system.  If so they could be available for you
to evaluate and possibly incorporate into the original system.

The initial analysis would be free, without cost or obligation. After
initial analysis the reliability forecast would be provided to you
daily for a validation period so that you could use it in real time
trading so you can determine its real value to your trading. At the
end of the validation period (2 to 4 weeks) you would make me a bid to
continue the service. If your bid is worth my time and effort, you
then have an improved trading system on an ongoing basis. If not it
didn?t cost you a dime.

Note a candidate system has to be based on objective indicators. The
system that relies on subjective things like obscure chart formations,
astrology or the mood of your cat do not optimize well! lol

Any comments, suggestions or prospective customers are appreciated.

As I suggest in this chart's notes, either the IT
Top is in, or only wave-i of this last leg up, and
I'm leaning towards the latter. <br><br>Assuming that
~1180 is the final destination for the IT Top, then by
another way of measure, the SPX is now at a natural fibo
level. ~1165 would be the .764 level of the anticipated
move to 1180, and ~1171 would be the .854 level of the
same. <br><br>I'd suggest a pretty decent pullback
here, followed by a move back up to the 1171-73 range,
a more shallow pullback, then the last push up
towards the 1180 range, all of which would form an ending
diagonal triangle. <br><br>You'll also note that the line
in the sand for the IT bearish case has been moved
upward, though a break of the trendline since November 1,
would also be a good indicator of the same.

target=new>http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SPX_Swing_Trading/</a>

Hi,<br><br>I said in my comments with a chart I
posted this morning (elsewhere) that there was a
possibility, through another interpretation of the wave
structure, that the lows of this morning represented a
wave-b:e, rather than a change in trend, and now that the
markets have finished for the day, it's appearing even
more likely that that's the case. <br><br>I've drawn
what I consider to be the lines in the sand on
tonight's chart. The "rise above" line represents the
possible wave-i down level, which should not be entered
into by a wave-iv in an impulsive wave. A rise above
that line would strongly suggest that a wave-c:e is
underway. The "decline below" line represents the low of
this last leg up, which IMO cannot be taken out at
this juncture to still maintain a bullish possibility.
In other words, I was a bit premature in yesterday's
suggestion that a break of the SPX 1140 range would
represent a CIT -- my apologies for not noticing this
possibility yesterday.<br><br>One item of interest to me is
that the 1180 target came back on the radar screen
today... Hmmmm... interesting... at least it is to me, as
at this price level (c):B:IV = (a):B:IV, and of
course, it was my preferred target for the entire move
beginning on 9/21/01, since probably some six weeks ago.

Greetings fellow options investors,<br><br>I have
been working with options for the last couple of
months and subscribe to Weiss SafeMoney Report as well
as his subscription service "The International
Options Speculator". This is an expensive service, which,
at this point has been recommending Puts exclusively
since I joined in late September. My Puts are
underwater - at least for now. <br><br>My overall sense of
the organization is positive, but I believe that
their research may not be as incisive as I would like
since there are a couple of trends that they might have
identified. For example, they recommended April Puts on Sony
(SNE) which I bought, but I'm not sure that they took
into account the effects of the GameBoy vs. Xbox
wars.<br><br>While I believe that Martin Weiss is right in his
assessment of an overinflated market and he makes a strong
case for another deep drop in all markets, I am
concerned about the short term timing of his
recommendations. Recently I read on another board about an article
in Fortune or Forbes in 2000 that ranked Options
Advisory Services. Does anyone have a link to such
information, or the date(s) of such articles. I'd like to
explore the track record of other services.
<br><br>Thanks in advance.

I wanted u all to know, that I have sent
invitations for a select number of you. U were known to have
good info and competency in the area of futures and
options. We will try to keep out the BSers and keep this
club to good solid information.

Feel free to post and share with the group your experiance.  We are anxious to
hear of your experiances, or at least I am.....lol

Welcome to our club, feel free to share and ask questions.<br><br>Jay

have you heard anything about this Omni station; Metastock.  Suppose to be
pretty good options software.  Anything to make my job easier.

Moving into a new round of futures here.  Hoping that heating oil will do well. 
Suppose to have a bad winter.

Look forward to sharing ideas!
