The Man: Market swings for composites during the day are REGULARLY 4%-5%. You can swing trade the S&P 500!!! A lot of the moves, especially since last week, have been on average to low volume.. ~ 85% of the average. I wonder if it is the investment houses who are moving the market like this, or is it the joe trader? Or has the joe trader cashed out his/her IRA and is trading with this money to

The Man: Not many updates recently. You'll see that most of the blogs focusing on day trading have stopped posting. Most likely it is because everyone is losing money and that's keeping us pretty quiet. Working on "the model" has been very profitable for me. That's because I'm still spending more time on the code "in the harbor" than out in the choppy market waters fishing for good trades. I

The Man: So the market is reaching a fever pitch, and investors are starting to pull out in major ways. Here's where the leverage and the low cash reserves of the mutual funds will thoroughly decimate the stock market. Investors pull out of the mutual funds. Mutual funds, without sufficient cash reserves, will have to pull out as well, against their professional opinion. Funny how we invest

The Man: Just read my last post. What a bunch of big words stung together just to say: "The model is broken, and I'm almost finished fixing it." Well, I do feel it is almost done. I now no longer need very much computing power anymore. With psyco optimizations, it takes only about 30 megs of memory to run, and I've downgraded The Machine to an old PII. To do, the regular postings is down due

The Man: Still working on the code. It looks like there are still problems with returning inconsistent answers. Without consistent answers, there is no hope to optimize the algorithm for the best answer. Anyway, I've narrowed it down to the issue of trying to use stochastic, analog problem solving method on a problem with a very digital output (buy, sell, wait). In order to solve this problem,

The Man: The break has given some perspective on the code. Have a few other ideas to try regarding optijizing the parameter-search algo. Again this is the data-mining portion of the code that is still painfully slow and computational intensive. Hopefully I'll be able to write a shortcut in the code. Previous attempts have been met with failure. If this works, then we'll have a decent

The Man: Took a little time off to remember why I'm doing this in the first place. SAY has been doing relatively well with the trading algo. It doesn't pick the absolute best high or low, but at least it picks the high or low to trade. CY has been mum for quite a while as well. Don't ask me... Ask the machine!Nevertheless, the economy is sputtering in and out of recession, and the major crash

The Man: Unlike The Machine, I took a vacation. Vacations are generally good for all the obvious reasons - Rest relaxation, family time, and of course good food. But there's one more subtle benefit of a vacation - being able to reassess one's regular life from a more unbiased perspective.

The Man: I've recently learned that the stimulus package introduces new legislation that TEMPORARILY raises the jumbo loan cap from $417,000 to up to $730,000. Much as I would like anyone to be able to buy a home, by temporarily opening up the market to a 1-2% rate drop for new home buyers and for refinances, we are effectively inflating the price of homes around the country - temporarily. But

The Man: So the Fed dropped interest rates, and after a brief spike in the afternoon, it was business as usual for Wall Street. I also overheard some quant traders talking on the train earrlier today, and it's good to know that they too have no idea how to model the market.More later.

The Man: NPR news is stating that since the bad news came the day before tuesday when the Fed meets, it will help to make the Fed loosen up another 0.5% rate cut again. Much as I do not like the prospect of a recession, softening the blow of a contraction of money flow will have a profound effect on our future. Just as the ARMs of yesteryear are affecting today's bottom lines, by lowering the

The Man: So I'm confused... I wrote a couple days ago that The Machine's SAY buyfest was wrong, and in light of the sliding market, it was not a good idea to follow The Algorithm's advice. As if to spite me, yesterday SAY rose to close above 26 dollars a share, meaning even if you bought at the first BUY signal, you would have still made money. This is the power of the algorithm over people

The Man: Well, The Machine isn't doing so well with the predictions these days. SAY has continually said "BUY BUY BUY" and CY has said to WAIT as both stock values drop. I have to say that CY did enjoy a little bit of time of being "In the know" before the drop. But at 50% correct AT BEST, it looks like algorithmic trading can't deal with real market futures, or at worst, it's a random, zero

The Man: Asian stocks are taking a beating this week, and oil prices are dropping in anticipation of a U.S. recession. Here's an interesting thought - the Fed's new strategy to fight inflation is by reducing interest rates to reecord lows. Naturally, prices are high when demand exceeds supply. Inflation is ultimately tied to energy supplies, and in this case, the price of fossil fuels - the

The Man: The News: INTC dropped nearly 11% in premarket trading. Indymac lays off 25% of their staff. Stock prices drop because people believe that a bad economy means a contraction in the movement of money which causes stock prices to drop, and so they get out of the stock market, causing the price to drop and a contraction in the movement of money. By believing that things are going to be bad,

The Man: The Machine is still having some technical difficulties... Looks like version 8.3 is a little too hot for it. In the meantime, have a great weekend! The Machine has also been moved to a new home - someplace much cooler so that it doesn't overheat again. Hopefully this will solve some of the problems.More later

The Man: There are rumors that the Fed are considering once again lowering interest rates in order to shore up the economy. These rumors are probably knee-jerk reactions by the market hoping that by hoping it will come true. This will mean fresh highs in Oil and gold as the U.S. Dollar declines in value. This is exactly what happens when the Fed devalues the U.S. Dollar. If a company decides

The Man: If you think about it, a down stock market is a good thing. A recession is also good once in a while. As prices fall, the amount of liquidity and money flow into companies dries up. This forces companies to "cut the fat" in their operations, and provides the motivation for improved efficiency both in the marketplace as a whole and within an individual organization. Without downside,

The Man: Nothing beats google in terms of tracking trends. As you can see above, no one started writing about the word recession until early 2007. By mid 2007 we have had a spike in news articles. Given the old addage of buy on rumor, sell on news, the peak of the recession news will be when the recession is almost over. Let's hope that the news articles come to a fever pitch sooner rather
