• Told ya
• Seasonal likelihood.
• Gut

Question #3. For your answer to Question #1, please share what specific reason(s) you think the S&P500 will be heading the direction you chose.
“Higher” Respondent Answers:
• I like Donald
• It’s a bull market!
• Bounce off of daily 20 period EMA & higher low.
• 50 d ma and 20 day ma up, at bottom of upward channel
• Holding the 50% retracement long in the S&P at $2905
• Mid-term elections.
• history.
• still buying
• The S&P was in consolidation the previous week, which provides a good setup for a rise this week. Also, a nice GDP increase and good earnings expectations should help.
• Elliott wave pattern.
• Large volume trades show more selling. Low volume trades still show buying. I don’t know whether “the top” is in yet, but I’m sure not going to buy the dips.
“Lower” Respondent Answers:
• Overbought markets. 3rd qtr ended – sellers should return.
• Tariffs
• Current white administration is bringing too much controversy and distrust
• Due to the Presidents nonsense position size
• Its ending pullback in all my s tocks
• Tarriffs!

Question #4. What procedures do you use for trade management? (e.g. position size, stops, scaling in or out, etc.)
• position size, stops, sometimes scaling
• I try to keep position sizes of relatively the same size.
• Mental stops
• I don’t know
• start small, 8% loss stops, take off profits 35%
• Scaling in.
• Daily loss limit, weekly loss limit, # of stops per day.
• Position size
• Position size, stops, market direction.
• Scaling
• stops
• Proper stops, no scaling, support & resistance, use of trailing stops if trending
• Position sizing used with various strategies. All in all out also used depending on strategy used. Stops are very important and honoring them is critical in maintaining risk management.
• position size
• Algorithmic
Question #5. Additional Comments/Questions/Suggestions?
• seasonality is against my answers.
• Is there a better and close too 100% certainty to read the market in the USA??

Question #3. For your answer to Question #1, please share what specific reason(s) you think the S&P500 will be heading the direction you chose.
“Higher” Respondent Answers:
• Banking is stable for now maybe according to Ole Miss
• Tariffs & trade are keys to the degree & direction but the market wants to go up even when it sells off a little because of anticipated strong earnings & a strong economy in spite of hurricane aftermath. With monthly option expiration, triple witching, FED announcements, it’s like getting answers to this current chapter relieving some uncertainty. The economy is growing, the market is rising, you don’t want to miss the bus & soon we’ll have an even more divided govt which the market likes..
• Yes
• usa earnings remain robust
• history
• Going with continuation of last week’s move up. The 50-day moving avg has been offering good support.
• Friday was triple witching, with that behind us, trade talks are progressing albeit slowly, no real earnings or major news releases we should start the final climb to the end of the year. The election in November will create more distraction but the big event is not that Republicans lose control but new financially responsible ind. may breathe fresh air into the stagnant halls. Also with Canada charging to legal sells of cannabis and many more states voting to approve, things sb interesting
• more $$$ fowing back into the markets
• Trend continues
• Charts don’t look finished to upside. S&P previous all-time high is a magnet. BUT I’m only 60% confident – because all the fundamentals say it’s already way too high. Long-term the fundamentals eventually matter. Don’t they??
“Lower” Respondent Answers:
• Market overbought
• tariffs
• Uncertainty caused by Trump’s trade war.
• The S&P is again reaching overbought as it makes a push towards new highs. The week may start higher as new highs are achieved but without substantial reasons for the move it will likely attract major profit taking.
• trade wars
• lower since I’m long
• EW
• Seasonal downturn continues. September will be unforgiving.
• Worst six months historically
• Market topped over summer Oct selloff
Question #4. What are the most important mental and emotional characteristics for traders to develop?
• Follow your own research
• Profit to liquid asset maybe I guess
• stops and the reason for the trade? Do not lose money.
• No need to trade everyday.
• Accept that the market is the boss, is unforgiving and that your intuition is probably wrong. Accept the consequences of every trade and trade small enough that you can deal with the results. Always know why you’re making a trade, have a plan and a backup plan. Remember that a long-term trade is often a short-term trade gone wrong. Get enough education to trade effectively. If hope and prayer are parts of your strategy, stop trading and get a better job.
• patience and perseverence
• Don’t panic
• For me, it’s to take a small loss before it turns into a large loss. And then to move on. Don’t try to make the next trade make up for the previous loss. Instead, just trade your system.
• patience
• Be observant. Act on facts. Charts and news rule .
• learn how to make a decision.
• money managment
• Most importantly, don’t let emotion take hold.
Question #5. Additional Comments/Questions/Suggestions?
• Make more by trading less.
• All panelists should be on camera.
• show in table form and graphically how predictions compare to actual market performance. THIS IS A MUST!

Question #3. For your answer to Question #1, please share what specific reason(s) you think the S&P500 will be heading the direction you chose.
“Higher” Respondent Answers:
• Donald Trump enthusiasm
• The line on the chart says it all. The trend continues higher after a short hiatus. Inflation from jobs data now solidly will influence the equity markets and gold higher.
• up week following a down week
• Recent history.
• People returning from vacation
• momentum
“Lower” Respondent Answers:
• Ouverbought Market.
• tariffs
• Tariffs are inflationary and are providing a level of uncertainty that is particularly motivating the market to take profits and window dress institutional portfolios for the end of the 3rd qtr although it’s pretty early to do that now. The Fed is going raise interest rates soon and give a press conference that will be a market mover perhaps contributing to the uncertainty. Political and geopolitical hostilities are increasing adding to uncertainty in spite of good economic news otherwise.
• NASDAQ is still jittery and likely to continue down pulling the S&P and eventually the Dow with it.
• There is no reason to create new records in September
• inflation
• TrAde talk/war
• Reality will over take the status quo as the trend remains in the early stages of transitioning from bullish to bearish.
• The market strength is weakening. The September seasonal weakness is getting a grip.
• Since the high on Aug 29, the S&P has been trending down. This trend is likely to continue, especially with the Chinese tariff situation.
• September
• Now the trend is down
• momentum failing support
• It could go anywhere during this volatile season. So I’m simply not going to trade.
Question #4. What procedures do you use to monitor and evaluate your trading results and progress over time?
• Annual returns compared
• past history averages
• comparison of results to goals
• I keep a journal but it’s not like a diary. More like unexpected surprises that I should be ready for next time. And new possible ideas for what-if scenarios. Because I trade options, there are lots of what-if’s.
• Acct bal.
• bank account
• increase in overall portofolio
• I keep records
• Profit and Loss Statements.
• Look at net worth
• Still the same procedure – evaluating equity over time
• credit balance
• Profit
• Performance
• When I am successful, I am like a cheetah attaching an injured lamb. When I am unsuccessful, I AM the injured lamb.
• Reviewing of and adherence to my risk management rules.
Question #5. Additional Comments/Questions/Suggestions?
• The political left is so insecure in their beliefs that they feel the need to shut down free speech and an exchange of other ideas through violence like spoiled 2-year-olds. You don’t often see similar behavior from the right even when they are in the minority and don’t get their way. So who do you think is more likely to take away your freedom? Separately, Nike is misguided and is insulting so I will peacefully buy products from its competitors. I’ll just do that instead!

Question #3. For your answer to Question #1, please share what specific reason(s) you think the S&P500 will be heading the direction you chose.
“Higher” Respondent Answers:
• It will dip from tues thru thursday and rally by end of day Friday
• guess
• The market doesn’t seem to want to go lower
• New high in Aug, currently just above resistance
• Momentum and seasonality
• vacation is over
• In recent weeks, dips have been bought. Momentum is positive.
• 50% chance
“Lower” Respondent Answers:
• Labor day signals a sell
• High market could be a resistance line mire sells no than buying maybe I guess
• S&P peaking stchastics >80%
• Market is very ouverbought..
• tariffs
• Higher on the week but lower than Tuesday’s open because the pent up demand after a 3-day weekend should mean that Tues will open up strong especially now that Mexico is on board & Canada is soon to follow. The NFP will be OK but it’s hard to believe that it will be extraordinary. Scary Sept & Oct will retard buying but institutions will be buying back on Tuesday the issues that they sold last week. Still a bullish week but not compared to Tuesday’s open. FAANGs will continue to carry the load.
• Continued uncertainty associated with trade issues with Canada, China, Europe, Etc.
• Don’t fight the Fed
• Overbought
• Testing Support
• I think the market is peaking at new resistance and is due for a rest and some consolidation.
• It is virtually impossible to predict week to week where the S&P ends up each week. What I’m really saying with my routine “lower” and “50%” response isn’t so much what will happen tby this time next wee.. What I am saying is this market is going to turn down and that is the next important event that will inevitably occur and reset the levels at more realistic levels. I will not really bother with being right week to week as a result. I know I’ll get it right in the end.
• The market is overbought and due for a downside correction. September is usually a weak month for stock prices.
• I have certain technical; indicators that I follow and they say we are heading south – but I’m first to say this is a likelihood of happening – that’s all.
• Instability
• Current high and negativity of the Trade negotiations.
• I don’t know where the heck the market is going and therefore rated my confidence at only 50%. Everybody knows it’s “overpriced” whatever that means. Yet most seem to believe it will go up to at least 3000. And everybody has trailing stops or buys protective puts or whatever. So it seems everybody is protected even if there’s a 20% correction. But it seems nothing can stop this uptrend – unless it’s something really drastic and unexpected – maybe. I dunno.
Question #4. What trading-related questions or topics would you like the experts to discuss on future episodes of the weekly Crowd Forecast News show? (The show is off this coming week, but back on September 10th.)
• Entry/exit strategies
• All guests should indicate how long they have been professional advisers and what their annual results have been for the period that they have been advising. They also should indicate what makes them superior.
• Isolation of some markets
• options pricing, instead of buying stock, using options to take bull/bear position.
• Competing with algorithmic firms when trading.
• Profit
• Position Size / Money Management
• seasonality and momentum
• fundamental analysis
Question #5. Additional Comments/Questions/Suggestions?
• A lot of people like to say that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over again and expecting different results and if that’s true, we have have a lot of people in this country promoting socialism who must therefore be insane.
• Will the economy be better because of a new policy o behalf of TYrump?
• Have all panelists on camera.

Question #3. For your answer to Question #1, please share what specific reason(s) you think the S&P500 will be heading the direction you chose.
“Higher” Respondent Answers:
• Donald Trump ideas maybe help
• going with the trend
• In this final week of AUG, institutions will be re-balancing & window dressing their portfolios & SPX will grind higher to confirm the breakout & anticipate 1st week of Sept trading and 7 Sept NFP. With so many predicting a down Aug & an annual correction in Sept/Oct, the market is bound to go up instead. Seasonal predictions have turned out to be crap & if they happen, they are very temporary. I like all the talk about recession and fear. That is very bullish. USA will win the trade war!
• Weed stocks will continue to push it up
• Risky not to buy
• All the industry indexes are positives :-)
• Momentum and seasonality.
• dovish fed talk
• trending
• Last week, dips were being bought, especially on Friday. Looks like the up move will continue.
• The market (SPX) has broken out of the ATH resistance. Now the path of least resistance is higher into 2900 area.
• This week
• Its toppy folks!
“Lower” Respondent Answers:
• Not good at working out where market goes
• Trade debate, political uncertainty, vacations
• I think that the global situation with chinese tariffs and Iran and Turkey are all coming to a head.
• A topping formation is almost forming a slide down is due any day, likely Tue or even Monday.
• SEP..
• Back to school positive action. Retail traders can only help the continued momentum. Previous gold bottom ended up being a basement to a sub basement. The yellow metal may once again start its wall of worry rise even though Powell and crew say inflation is tame.
Question #4. Which trading platform or broker do you like the best for executing your trades?
• fidelity
• Stocks to trade platform Etrade for a broker
• TOS but it’s not the bat you use, it’s the person using the bat. It’s not the cost of the commissions, it’s the positions and money management for your trades that should be the focus. JPM may start commission free trades but how many errors are you going to make learning a new platform?
• TD
• Yours
• Profit able one if possible
• Interactive Brokers
• TOS
• Trade Station
• TD
• TD
• E*Trade
• There are lot of good trading platforms such as StreetSmart Edge (Schwab), Trade Station, Think or Swim, etc. It is up to a trader to chose his trading platform.
• tastyworks
• IG Index ans Saxo bank
• Ninjatrader Firetip of Ironbeam
• none they all have weaknesses that marginalize strengths
• Tastyworks.
Question #5. Additional Comments/Questions/Suggestions?
• A candidate can legally contribute unlimited amounts of his own money for his own election campaign even to obtain NDA’s. Trumps payments to the kiss and tellers are totally legal. If the DEM’s take the House, impeachment will not be brought and if brought will fail in the House and if passed will fail in the Senate. The DEM’s are afraid that Trump is too successful. Tariffs are tough to endure but his actions are the right ones. Shame on all his predecessors who were too cowardly to do it.
• Oil surprisingly keeping a lid even though ability to withstand supply disruption is tight.
• I like your great survey and I request you to expand to more real traders to get their views.

Question #3. For your answer to Question #1, please share what specific reason(s) you think the S&P500 will be heading the direction you chose.
“Higher” Respondent Answers:
• I’m not good on market direction.
• There is a law ? rule ? that the direction the market is in , it is MOST LIKELY to stay in that direction.
• I think stocks will remain close to unchanged as it was this week. About 0.34% higher. Too many geopolitical events in the world to rock the market. And August is usually a very slow month for stocks. I look for better things in September and October.
• The past couple days S&P took a slight pullback so Next week will rally up
• Economic job indicators are ok still maybe alittle or not really bad now
• The S&P500 & other major indices are holding their support & 10/20d ema levels during pullbacks. This, along with strong earnings continuing to be reported, lead me to look for continued strength in the markets.
• S&P 500 Looks like a test of all time high is coming.
• Uptrend has been too powerful to end so quickly. This recent pullback is just a pullback in an uptrend.
• Trend is your friend oil on the way up. Gold Joins in.
“Lower” Respondent Answers:
• Market peaked out
• Volatility, foreign markets
• fridays selloff
• Elliott Wave 4
• late summer doldrums
• Tariffs
• falling momentum
• Turkish Lira issues impacting European banks Increasing trade tensions
• Earnings calls are over. Interest rates are rising. Yield curve is inverting. Trade and shooting wars are in the air. Hardly a time to invest.
• more than likely world events will push mkt down…
• The downside correction will continue. The institutional favorites and looking to top out. Retail stocks should show weakness this week.
• Reality returning to the overvalued tech sector.
• History of the market
• Price may be high by mid week but it should then sell and be down at close of the week
Question #4. Which do you think is best, trading one methodology or system all the time or trading multiple strategies that adapt to the markets? Why?
• Multiple strategies to mitigate the risk
• You need as some one that makes lots money. That is not me.
• trend following works for me
• the 2nd. That way you are always trading with the trend direction.
• multiple
• multiple strategies that best fit the current market conditions
• A stop loss
• Adapt to market or be swallowed up in losses.
• I think it’s best to trade one methodology that adapts to the markets. :-)
• Sentiment from headlines
• Multiple strategies. Attempting to trade against the prevailing trend is most often like holding back the tide.
• The latter. There should be a different strategy for an uptrend and a different strategy for a downtrend. Because one is not simply the mirror image of the other. Markets behave differently in uptrends than in downtrends. For example, V bottoms are common but we don’t see V tops very often. Instead we see rounded tops.
• Adapt to market. You have to trade what the market gives you.
• multiple strategies, because if the set up is not right for one, maybe it’ll be right for others…
• Multiple strategies. Markets CHANGE!
• I still believe in trading one methodology/system but one that does adapt to the markets gyrations.
• Option trading
• Subject to time frame and style of trading.

Question #3. For your answer to Question #1, please share what specific reason(s) you think the S&P500 will be heading the direction you chose.
“Higher” Respondent Answers:
• The S&P500 continued to hold support at 2800 last week & market internals remain positive. As long as 2800 holds, chances are good for continued gains. Overwhelmingly positive earnings & the strong economy seem to be minimizing the threats of a possible trade war & other geopolitical issues.
• Trump agenda
• We are on the war path. Mid East tensions in hormuz good for markets and oil.
• Potential for easing of some trade tensions
• After disaster , food is high price ….structure will re-new able. most of those countries will back home
• Tested support at 2800. Time for a rally to new highs at 2875.
• Technical analysis
• Earnings season is about over. Elections aren’t yet. Tariffs, or media misinterpretation of tariffs, is major predictable challenge.
• The market bounced off a gap down on Thurs morning, and moved up. It ignored the payrolls report and China trade news; and continued up on Friday. Staying with the trend for the new week.
• My biggest reason for stocks moving slightly upward is good earnings. I think we will have a repeat of the last two weeks where stocks only make a slight upward move.
• easy money from europe and japan
• Banks buy stocks
“Lower” Respondent Answers:
• Market inexes topping.
• Pattern recognition, market is overbought,
• Much talk about high valuations for fang and similar stocks Increase in interest rates will be a factor
• tariffs
• Seasonality and general market atmosphere and price actions.
• Elliott wave
• The downside correction in stocks will continue. The institutional favorites are breaking down.
• It is almost at its peak and I expect it go down before end of next week. Also VIX started its upward trend at around 1:30 PM today, August 3.
• Do your own research
• We should see a drastic drop 2 of the first 4 days if some of my long term studies work. A BIG LOW potential around end of the week.
Question #4. What advice would you give and/or what resources would you recommend to someone who is new to trading?
• Know the days, hours and 15 min trend and follow a shorter time frame. Resist dumb & impulsive entries
• Don’t pick tops or bottoms, just follow trend.
• Play with the technical indicators until you find one or two that prove reliable to you.
• Profit only
• Test EVERY idea with paper-trading before betting the rent money on it.
• don’t
• Start by reading a lot and trading without real money. Watch out for email offers promising to make you rich.
• be careful use stops for hedge with put contracts if you have big positions
• read, don’t pay for advice
• Don’t
• Adopt some trading rules. Especially position size & risk limits per trade. Then stick to your rules.
• Mind focus. The rest is academic.
• Learn charting. Go slow. Learn position sizing.
• food securities for earth disappear
• Read Elder’s latest edition of “Trading for a Living” (whether planning on trading for a living or not) to understand the necessary requirements & and an idea of realistic expectations to successfully trade for the long term.
• Learn to paper trade and attend experts’ webinars.
• Test everything!
• Start with a sufficient amount of capital.
• Practice on fake accounts before putting your money into the investments
Question #5. Additional Comments/Questions/Suggestions?
• A significant rotation should be coming in next days and weeks.
• Is it time to go to all cash? I’m at 60% and feel like I would be better out than in. Problem i went to big cash early
• Gold floor and basing ready for liftoff!
• Everything will conflict within stomach and chemical food

Question #3. For your answer to Question #1, please share what specific reason(s) you think the S&P500 will be heading the direction you chose.
“Higher” Respondent Answers:
• Despite a good pullback in the SPX on Friday, and the NASDAQ & RUSSELL getting whacked, market internals (stocks > their 50d ma & advance/decline, etc.) are still positive. Also, while the S&P broke below it’s 10d ema, it ended up closing above it – another positive sign. Overall, most companies are still easily beating earnings expectations, so looking for more of the same next week.
• Earning
• High momemtum
• The nomination of Judge Kavanaugh and proceedings might influence a positive move maybe I guess
• Expect general bullish trend to continue based on anticipated positive earning reports and other news.
• slight positive momentum
• earnings
• Because I did all anyone can do and took a guess. Hopefully I’m right but it doesn’t really matter to me as long as there is movement in one direction or the other
• Good economy
• GDP 4.1%
• Trump is winning. His style is getting results even if the mainstream media hates it. No more excuses now that economic data is showing positive results. All that could happen is to have oil sky rocket too fast it’s on its way up as a result of global economic growth.
• I’m clueless this week!
“Lower” Respondent Answers:
• Tougher earnings season.
• Tariffs
• My technical indicators are down reacting to the mixed to down response to tech earnings & guidance. The Fed this week will say nothing that will be encouraging & XLF will sell off. AAPL will disappoint & the NFP will be less strong than last month. End of month & beginning of month portfolio adjustments will confuse the situation further. However, the VIX & IV is saying that there is nothing to worry about yet but they are not bullish either. For now, momentum is down & it’s time to raise cash.
• too many stocks selling off
• Over bought. Retracement needed. Seasonal slow down. Bearish news out there
• wave
• Technical and tired mkt even good news is getting sold Few names have pulled it higher now they’re failing
• Elliott Wave
• The downside correction of the market continues. The FANG stocks are beginning to crack and many of the institutional favorites are turning down after earnings and disappointing outlooks.
• The market drop on Friday after a favorable GDP appears to mark a reversal to the upward trend. There’s more room to drop.
• please note this is the 2nd time I’m filling this out but you seem to be unaware I’ve already submitted this, I believe on Friday.
• Historically not a good month
• wave 3 down has begun pseudo-tech stocks deflating
• Seasonal, technical & defusing enthusiasm may create sell offs. There could be still two to three bullish days.
• no reasons for the market to go up
• Overbought market
Question #4. Who or what first inspired you to become a trader?
• Dr. Elder’s book “Trading for a Living”. Laid out the three necessary pillars (detailed trade plan, money management, & psychology) in an easy to understand format.
• Wall Street Week
• Mom
• The desire to generate income by other means than a conventional job.
• interest in chart watching
• Not sure. I’ve always been somewhat interested in the markets. Although seeing pit trading in the movies is pretty cool.
• My grade 11 economics class. Played the fake market game. Exciting. OptionEtics introduced me to options and I never looked back.
• Unfortunately it was ElliottWave because I got caught up in the number magic of math. It took me YEARS to realize that EW does NOT predict the market.
• Time to write a novel
• My friend who told me that’s how people become rich.
• Necessity became the mother of invention for me.
• Larry Williams
• love to gamble– better odds than cards
• Money
• I was a commodity broker for 17 years and when I decided to leave that realm, I decided that I would trade stocks for myself.
• I had a natural interest in the trading game while I was a teenager, and before I had the money to trade.
• My dad
• To recover a lost capital for a business and now I lost literally all capital I had. I think not 90 but 96% of traders fail at some point and lose their capital.
• bitcoin
• The lure of increasing my savings faster than average.
Question #5. Additional Comments/Questions/Suggestions?
• Buy low, sell high or sell high, buy low.
• Oil rising as demand side moves it up. Precious metals will rise as does yuan and inflation as a result of growrh5.
• An Optimist says, “IT JUST CAN’T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS!!!!!!!” Unfortunately, a pessimist says the same thing. So that’s what happened to tech this past week. Expect the sell off to continue on Monday and if it’s enough, Friday could actually be higher than Monday’s open but expect August trading not to be “Too Damned Hot”.
• What can you do for me?
• Even good news is getting sold
• All this is speculatory and requires lot of luck, hard work, focus and care to preserve original capital.
