The FLD Trading Strategy course which started in October has been going really well, with students leading “the challenge” (trading demo accounts for a prize which goes to a charity of their choice) with a return of up to 4% in the first three weeks of trading their demo accounts. […]

I believe the $NDX bottom in November was an 18 month and 4.5 year Hurst cycle low. What bothers me of course is the very low volatility observed. However the tech stocks often bottom before the general markets confirm a major low. The stock of interest is CSCO. I am […]
