That Night, His Bodily Fluids Sprayed All Over Me (XVIII, XIX)
2007/3/28 15:22:50
XVIII
"The fulcrum—worlded the leveraging. Without a lever, leveraging the fulcrum, the world. A vain fulcrum, a vain world, a vain lever, a vain leveraging, the vanity of vanity. The fulcrum vains the fulcrum, the world vains the world, the lever vains the lever, the leveraging vains the leveraging, vanity vains vanity. The leveraging of fulcrum and world—has no lever.
In the eternal sky, two flocks of undying birds enact eternity. Undying differance—the enactment of vain sky and eternity. The sky has no fulcrum, the fulcrum has no world, the world has no sky. Fulcrum worlds the world, world fulcrums the fulcrum. The sky without a fulcrum has no world; the world without a sky has no fulcrum. The fulcrum without a world has no eternity.
All light leads to deeper black. Eternity cannot escape eternity. The world cannot escape the world. The fulcrum cannot escape the fulcrum. The sky cannot escape the sky. Two flocks of undying birds—corpses strewn about. A streak of fading light—the sky peels away. Blacker and deeper and deeper—how deep? Asking heaven, heaven does not speak. The tower is too high to see the road to Zhangtai. Alone—how to find the black?"
Outside the window, there was no one watching the scenery—only the undying traffic washing the city's sunset.
XIX
The sunset, tossing in the cityscape, shattering upon the city's reefs, piece by piece, plunging with the city, piling up like fallen petals on the still-soft pillow of this five-star hotel with the mysterious name.
"Your voice is very deep and resonant."
On the desk, red and green shifted. Snake-tongue-like curves extended silently.
"You like a deep, resonant voice?"
"Of course. And the body that produces such a voice."
The snake-tongue-like curves still undulated on the desk.
"You're very direct."
"There's no such thing as indirect. Only direct."
"When are you leaving?"
"Tomorrow."
The snake tongues on the desk flickered.
"Is this the beginning of a story or the end?"
"There isn't even an affair—where would a story come from?"
"Still need to take a test?"
"Would you prefer the garage maneuver or the road test?"
"It's cold at night. Let's skip the road test."
"Alright, I'll wait for you in the lobby bar."
"Can you leave a phone number?"
"If we can't discover each other, what's the point of a phone number?"
"Fine. I'll be there in half an hour."
Outside the window, the last sliver of light flickered like a snake's tongue.

Sorry, I need to discuss something in 10 minutes. Should be done by 2:30 PM, and I'll come back online then.
Going offline. Goodbye.

Serious apologies—just finished the discussion. But I need to go out immediately. Can only come back at 9 PM.
See you at 9. Sorry. Going offline.

Hello, Chan-sis!
Let me review my operations these past two days—pretty bad. Can't get the rhythm right. The low at 11:20 AM this morning had no divergence signals at all—how did it just go up?
--
For sub-1-minute levels, just compare the areas of the MACD histogram bars on the 1-minute chart. The earlier segment had the sum of two green bar areas, the later had just 1. This is commonly seen in panic false breakdowns. Also, from the perspective of trading range oscillation, it's even simpler.
But those aren't the most important. What's most important is rhythm. If you could have sold on the obvious 5-minute top divergence in the morning, then the repurchase below—a bit earlier or later wouldn't matter. Moreover, on individual stocks it's even more obvious. For instance, with 000802, after the 1-minute break above 15 yuan, that bottom divergence was the most obvious.

Hello, blogger!
I have two detailed questions about divergence:
Lesson 17: "No trend, no divergence. Divergence is a comparison between successive trends—that is, the existence of two same-direction trends on the same level chart is a prerequisite for divergence."
Lesson 24: "To judge divergence using MACD, there must first be two same-direction trends. Between them there must be a consolidation or counter-trend connecting them—call these three segments A, B, C respectively. Obviously, B's trading range level must be larger than those in A and C; otherwise A, B, C would merge into one big trend or one big trading range. Before segment A, there must be a trading range of the same level as B or larger."
Lesson 37: "No trend, no divergence. Not every a+A+b+B+c formation has divergence. When we say there is divergence in a+A+b+B+c, first a+A+b+B+c must be a trend. A trend means A and B are same-level trading ranges. Second, c must be sub-level. And b may possibly be smaller than sub-level—the most powerful case being consecutive gaps—meaning b cannot be larger in level than c."
--
The above is what I've extracted from the original texts. Two details about divergence seem contradictory.
-
When there's divergence in a+A+b+B+c, from Lesson 37, b can be smaller than sub-level? So b doesn't have to be a trend of the same level as c—contradicting Lessons 17 and 24.
-
Lesson 24 says "before segment A, there must be a trading range of the same level as B or larger." For a+A+b+B+c, if trading range A can be of a higher level than trading range B, and b and c satisfy other divergence conditions, would it still be standard divergence?
==
There's no contradiction. The most standard divergence is the comparison between two sub-level trends within a trend. This comparison between two segments can be generalized. For example, even in trading range oscillations, two consecutive upward segments can be compared using a similar divergence method. This is the generalization of the divergence method.

Seems like everyone's mood is bad from the drop. With poor technique, there are fewer questions too.
MM, according to you, if the traitors' bank stocks show Chan Theory buy/sell points, should one execute or not? Should we not look at those because of your battle with them?
What was the traitors' purpose in pumping bank stocks today? I thought they didn't want to give second-tier stocks a chance to distribute?
What's the next move for bank stocks? Confused. Please analyze.
=
Why assume that whoever pumped in the morning and whoever pumped in the afternoon are the same people? Why can't whoever dumped in the morning buy back in the afternoon for a spread? The morning was pure troublemaking—Shenzhen didn't follow, which tells you this troublemaking was meaningless. I won't go into the details. Things are never as simple as imagined. Even among major market players, their behaviors differ. The idea that the market has one single puppet master is quite boring.

Big sis, this is an era of indulgence. You should write more articles about clearing the mind and reducing desire, to save people's hearts!
I still prefer reading your economics articles!
=
Seeing desire as desire—that is desire. Seeing desire as non-desire—that too is desire. Affliction and bodhi are non-dual. Who desires, who does not?

Hello teacher, I didn't buy or sell today. I just watched the market. It felt similar to the last V-shaped reversal. But looking at MACD, the 1-minute divergence was obvious last time, while this time many couldn't see it and yet it went up. From the decline's momentum, the final drop was clearly stronger than the previous ones. So I didn't understand and just watched. Others said you can see sub-1-minute bottom divergence from the intraday chart. Teacher has mentioned this method too. If the lowest level one looks at is the 1-minute chart, how do you see sub-1-minute bottom divergence from the intraday chart?
I've noticed that anyone willing to help retail investors and ordinary people gets attacked to some degree. I hope this society becomes more and more harmonious, and that justice always triumphs over evil!!!
Will always support the teacher!!

As mentioned above, for assistance, just compare the 1-minute MACD histogram area sums.

Justice has no necessary connection with protecting anyone or with victory. One's thinking must not fall into this pattern—especially in the market, it's too harmful.

[Anonymous] Asking Chan
2007-03-28 21:23:06
I'd like to ask the Chan master. I'm completely stumped. If I set 30-minute as my operating level, and a 1-minute K-chart shows divergence, how do I determine whether to participate or not? What's the basis for judgment? I keep getting it wrong. Thank you.
=
The key is to see what's currently happening on the 5-minute and 30-minute charts. If they're in the main decline segment, there's naturally no need to participate.

Stumbled upon this place by accident~ I've gotten used to coming here every day to study~ What do you think of mutual funds?
=
The fund model has significant weaknesses, especially in a market with volatile sentiment. The possibility of funds being targeted and liquidated is quite high.
The safest capital in the market is stable, long-term capital with no redemption pressure. Obviously, funds don't qualify.

Sorry, it's too late. Have to go offline.
One supplement: rhythm is the most important thing. Operations ultimately come down to buying at buy points and selling at sell points. Whether you can do it is a matter of technical precision, which will inevitably improve through practice—practice makes perfect. But if you can't even grasp this basic rhythm, then the more you practice, the more problems you'll have. This must be remembered.
Going offline. Goodbye.

The traitors are becoming more and more obedient. I won't go into the specifics—there are many eyes and ears here. After today's shakeout, that line has held firm for the second day. Whether those non-traitor bears will surrender—decide for yourselves.
Of course, the traitors still have a chance. If this ID were doing the shorting, the index would definitely be below 3000 already. Unfortunately the traitors' technique is rather poor. Once futures launch, with the traitors at this level, how will they play? Better not lose even their underwear and have to run naked across the ocean to daddy traitor's place.
The last two days relate to the monthly line and also the quarterly line closing. Anyone who reads K-line charts knows the impact of a clean bullish candle versus one with a long upper shadow on the next month's and quarter's trends. So although these two days are short, they are extremely important. If these two days go well, the force of bears flipping to bulls will only grow.
No need to discuss individual stocks—today I'll skip saliva and talk only about bodily fluids.
