Welcome to the Traders Laboratory Forums.
The purpose of this is to serve as a closet, or attic, or self-storage facility. A place for me to store what I don't want to lose, all in one place, partly for me, but largely for those who may be interested in what I think about market stuff and trading stuff.

I've reserved the right to moderate comments. Assuming that this works, the point of it is to keep the blog on task as much as possible. Substantive questions will be answered, if I can, but good wishes and so forth will not be posted, not because I don't appreciate them, but because all of that is a lot for newcomers to wade through after a while, so please don't be insulted if you don't see your comment posted.

The first post is a link to a preview of my book. This may be of no interest to you whatsoever, but I do encourage those who are interested to at least look it over before plunking down any money for something that may be of little or no use to them.

Good trading.

Note: it may not be immediately apparent that this is neither a journal nor a trading log. Therefore, the chronology of the posts is immaterial. The posts are instead organized according to the "categories" listed in the sidebar on the left.

Seven Habits of Ineffective Traders

Posted 05-13-2008 at 10:22 AM by DbPhoenix (Dbs Burrow)
Updated 08-28-2009 at 01:02 PM by DbPhoenix

By Ken Wolff

Recently, a couple of people I know packed up and quit trading after struggling for a long time to hold their heads above water. They didn't make it. This isn't unusual, of course. This profession has a high failure rate. But it frustrated me.

It frustrated me because I could see potential in them. I don't believe you have to be particularly talented or intelligent to be a successful trader, but these people seemed to have a grasp on the market and the love...

Wyckoff the Great

Posted 04-26-2008 at 12:42 AM by DbPhoenix (Dbs Burrow)
Updated 08-28-2009 at 01:04 PM by DbPhoenix

Richard Wyckoff was a pioneer of technical analysis. While Dow contributed the theory that price moves in a series of trends and reactions, and Schabacker classified those movements into chart patterns, developed gap theory, and stressed the role of trader behavior in the development of patterns and support/resistance, Wyckoff contributed the study of the relationship between volume and price movement to detect imbalances between supply and demand, which in turn provided clues to direction and potential...

BUYING AND SELLING WAVES (Sect. 5M)

Posted 04-25-2008 at 08:48 PM by DbPhoenix (Dbs Burrow)
Updated 08-28-2009 at 01:02 PM by DbPhoenix

Every upward or downward swing in the market, whether it amounts to many points, only a few points, or fractions of a point, consists of numerous buying and selling waves. These have a certain duration; they run just so long as they can attract a following. When this following is exhausted for the time being, that wave comes to an end and a contrary wave sets in. The latter may attract more of a following than the former. By studying the relationships between these upward and downward waves, their...
