One of my methods of over 20, for you to ponder over. This is based on the moon cycle, when you get a Full Moon wait for the trading day to finish, if its up, go long, if its down go short, You would hold till the moon goes in, by I mean there is no moon in the sky.example This is usually around 14 days,Oct would look like this
3:no moon 10: half moon 17: full moon 25: half

As you can see above no moon on the 3rd Oct.well the moon still there it is just behind the Sun :LOL:

These are the results bellow for this year. The only fault with this method, no stops are used. But in not using any stops, the method done good. only one losing month and that was March for-26 points The results are based on the Dow.

I call this Method Moon River

Jan +255
Feb. + 60
Mar - 26
Apr +103
May - 29
Jun + 318
July +68
Aug. +108

Sep still in the trade short from 10557, out at the close on the 3,Oct

Results
+912
-26
Total
886

Avr 110 points a month based on the above,not bad for trading once a month

This reminds of the story of a trader who passed through 11 sets of traffic lights on his way to work each day. If 6 or more were green, he'd go long the Dow or, conversely, if 6 or more were red he'd go short the Dow! If the lights were amber, he'd count them as green or red based on the next colour they were about to turn to. I don't recall his risk and money management strategies but, allegedly, he made money!

I have actually tried this method and the only slight drawback i found with it was a mild case of lycanthropy

Putting aside l the scientific way the Moon affects the earths tides, weather, animals, fluids , symbolically the Moon has a lot to teach us. I think it's a little more to my method, than theTraffic lights you mentioned

Sounds all very "Delta" to me. You should speak to Welles Wilder.............................can't argue against the results though.

The moon is behind the sun? I don't think so. When the moon is dark the order is:

Sun --> light ---> Earth moon

I hope your trading works out anyway....

pick any day. pick any direction long or short randomly. close out 14 days later. what are yur results.
 
The period illustrated has no statistical significance though I for one think we should be more in tune with nature.

A veritable galaxy ideas from you, for all of us, badtrader, keep it up.

If you have any plans involving Uranus, please keep them to yourself. :cheesy: :cheesy:
 
on an equally serious note;

Are you familiar with "Delta Phenomenon" badtrader ?

I wonder if your best / profitable trades were 4 lunar months apart ?

It is interesting to note that a shedding process. as the average menstrual cycle is 28 days in length, the human body sheds a layer of skin approximately every 28 days as do women on they you know what.Mood changes, :eek: Take the 4th letter from mood you get moon.lol anyhow,is all based on Naural cycles,nothing to do with Delta Phenomenon
