Elasticity Toolkit

The Elasticity toolkit was created to obtain maximum gains in both sideways and trending markets with minimum risk. Developed by Timothy Straiton, the system performs with incredible results in almost all equity markets with a daily periodicity. The Elasticity toolkit focuses on short-term market fluctuations and takes advantage of deviation or "elasticity" from the mean price. One could visualize the action of a rubber band being stretched and at the moment where the expansion loses momentum, a contraction takes place, forcing movement in the opposite direction. The Elasticity system opens a trade at the moment that deviation from the mean price loses momentum.

A Lesson in Trading Psychology

by Brett N. Steenbarger, Ph.D.
Back in 2004, I joined Kingstree Trading, LLC, a proprietary trading firm in Chicago. There, I had the good fortune to get to know--and observe--many successful traders at work. One lesson particularly stands out in my mind. A trader saw buying come into the market, and he quickly jumped on board. He saw that the odds of taking out a recent high were good, given the size of the buying. To his surprise, however, the trade stalled out before the target and reversed.

Technical Review

Silver - A surge in volatility to be reckoned with

2025-06-03 by Tim Straiton

The current level at the time of writing is $39.37. Silver has remained lacking in trend direction over the past 12 months as can be seen in the low weekly Bollinger Bandwidth reading of 14.08. The overall technical picture remains bullish with the current price well above the rising 40 week moving average at $31.68. The 14 week relative strength index is currently at 57% and is poised to break above the falling year old trendline.

 A weekly close above $35 could well ignite volatility and put focus on the following Fibonacci upside projection targets measured over the 11.62 to 29.83 range traded between March and August 2020.

  • 38.2% = $36.90
  • 50% = $39.05
  • 61.8% = $41.20
  • 78.6% = 44.26
  • 100% = $48.15
  • 161.8% =$59.41

Looking at the weekly Gold to Silver ratio, it appears that the Fibonacci 61.8% retracement level of 103 measured over the 62.05 to 128.31 range is acting as strong resistance. The falling MACD-V reading of 80 also points to the building of downside pressure on the ratio and thus strength building up in the silver market.
