Welcome to the Traders Laboratory Forums.
The purpose of this blog is to provide a comprehensive compilation of articles and posts which have been of great help to me in the past, or that I find very insightful, wise or containing a great deal of useful knowledge.

The original author of the text will be mentioned, so that those who are interested in the subject can explore it deeper.

The blog will consist out of several categories, some more theoretical, other containing charts and analysis.

Finally, this blog is, in a way, a continuation of the journal
I started in the public section on another site.
The Big Picture (2008-...) The purpose of this thread is to keep track of the markets in 2008 by following the daily or weekly chart.

Re-test of lows and new lows

Yesterday the market continued it's downward movement, accelerating into a climax and reversing sharply off the bottom.



Although the ES and NQ both made new lows, the YM tested 7950 almost to the tick and rallied 800 points from there. A reminder that staying short too long, can be expensive.

Charts form the dailies attached.

We made a low last week, but it doesn't look like it's going to be THE low that marks the end of the bear market.
