Dow Theory Special Issue: Some introspection. Let’s go back to the basics in order to make the next leap forward (I)
posted on: February 15, 2020
Musings, and more musings before the meat This is a long post which has been divided into two. It has really taken lots of introspection, as it crystallized when being alone in the countryside enjoying the sights of some wonderful lush hills dotted with grazing cattle. This post is a roadmap for the future tasks […]
Dow Theory Special Issue: Hamilton’s insight that the Dow Theory may be applied to many markets seems to be right (III)
posted on: January 10, 2020
Composite results of taking both long and shorts and introducing a Dow Theory based secular trend filter In the previous two posts of this “Hamilton” saga (hereand here) I analyzed what would have happened if I had taken either longs or shorts as per the primary bull and bear market signals given by the Dow […]
Dow Theory Special Issue: Which markets are better suited to the Dow Theory (and Trend following in general) and the reason why
posted on: June 26, 2019
The power of trends and why it is not wise to disregard a Dow Theory signal based on the belief that the market is already overstretched. This is another post that I was written on June 19th at Nashville’s airport while being stranded due to bad weather conditions. However, it has been “matured” and edited […]

Trends unchanged for stocks, gold, silver and their miners My new post concerning Schannep’s capitulation indicator will have to wait as more “divergent interpretations of the Dow Theory” (more than I could ever conceive) pop up. I have already analyzed some questionable interpretations of the Dow Theory here and here. Hence, the next post […]

How to catch falling knives without cutting yourself There is a German saying which reads “Klasse statt Masse” (class instead of mass, so better little and good than a lot and of bad quality) Since I don´t have much time to write, and, hence I cannot do lots of “Masse”, I hope that the next […]
Dow Theory Special Issue: Isolating the value of the principle of confirmation and trend following
posted on: August 25, 2017
How much valuable is confirmation percentagewise? And trend following? It’s been many months without writing a post with some original thoughts which may be useful to the followers of this blog. For the last few months I have been confined to merely analyzing the markets (which in itself is OK and takes time) without any […]
Can Dow Theory be applied to short term trading as a filter?
posted on: September 13, 2012
While I plan to develop this idea in further posts, the answer is yes. The primary trend of the market as determined by the Dow Theory is so powerful that it is a very good filter to apply to other trading strategies. Hence, even though a trader might think that a trade lasting 1 week […]
