Could The Economic Meltdown Be The Result of Economic Terrorism?

I heard something interesting related to the world economic meltdown. It was suggested this could be the result of economic terrorism. This week it was reported that the World Bank had been hacked several times over the past year or so. We know that there are many active, experienced hackers in Russia and China who have made it into some very sensitive computer systems in recent years.

There has been a lot of activity at the last minute on the stock exchanges that send indicators downward. This last minute activity happens so late in the trading day, that the markets don’t have time to respond.

Makes me think. Has the world been plunged into the pages of Tom Clancy techno thriller novel playing out on the reality side of the book?

Well thought out comments are welcome.
Oh yes! "Debt Of Honor"! I forgot about that Clancy classic! Rewritten the "bad guys" would be Russians and NGO terrorist types hacking away on their computers!
Marcus, true, but people are behind the computer programs that trip at the last minute. Who is behind the "snipes"?

It’s rather like "sniping" on eBay…..

Trading indicators are best used along with money management and good risk control, using trading indicators alone will not enable you to be a successful trader, even if you learn everything about day trading indicators the market is just too random and unless risk is controlled, over time your account will slowly get wiped out, regardless how good a “trader” you think you are.

This question was about day trading indicators and there have been some pretty good answers that should help in your trading, and especially in relation to day trading indicators, the answer has been posted in the categories listed below:

Linear Regression Indicator: Calculation in Microsoft Excel?

The Linear Regression Indicator (LRI) is a stock market indicator. It’s value each day is the same as a Linear Regression Trendline (LRT). The LRI is calculated using the "least squares method." I would like to know the formula to calculate the LRI in Microsoft Excel if you could assist me.

I am uncertain how my stock charting package calculates this value, but here are some clues. For the SPY, which generally tracks the value of the S&P 500 stock index, the LRI values at the end of the trading day today were LRI(1 day)=0; LRI(2 day)=128.42; LRI(3day)=128.51. The value for LRI(2 day) is simply the closing price of the SPY for today, which was 128.42. I’m really interested in how they calculate LRI(3day), and am seeking an explanation as to why LRI(1) is 0 and LRI(2) is today’s closing price.

I’m not sure whether they use the Open, High, Low and Close for each day, or just the Close or some combo. Here are those values for the last few days: (See Additional Details)
8/3: Open=127.33; High=128.55; Low=127.15; Close=128.42. 8/2: Open=127.58; High=128.46; Low=127.55; Close=128.08. 8/1: Open=127.34; High=127.38; Low=126.63; Close=127.22. 7/31: Open=127.66; High=127.96; Low=127.46; Close=127.85.

Can you give me advice on daytrading?

I’m 24, in college, and am interested in day trading. I am on my second book reading up on it. I am interested in technical analysis. I am very good at math so the concepts come easy to me and the charts do as well.

I used www.freestockcharts.com as a resource for practicing. It provides lots of features including indicators, portfolios, and tools to draw trend lines in.

I have paper traded 5 days so far. Here’s how I did.
1. +4%
2. +5%
3. +4.6%
4. -0.5%
5. +1.32%

With about 15 trades a day tops and a lot of starting capitol I think I could make good money. I know I’m very green so there’s lots to learn. I don’t even have money to invest with yet anyways.

How do you think I’m doing? Is my profit so far good or to early to tell? What can I do to progress faster at trading and get good at it?

How can on predict when the market has topped?

One of the indicators I have noticed indicating a peak in the market is heavy volume on down days and light volume on up days. Along with the above the CBOE put call ratio drops to less than 0.75 for a couple of trading sessions. Livermoore used a list of stocks which fell before the market peaked.
