Interesting Charts for Technical Trades

Recommended Posts

I always enjoy looking at other people's chart analysis especially for stocks to see another perspective but also to get ideas on where a potential move is brewing. Stocks create such a vast list of potential trades that it is impossible to be watching most of what is happening. Many great traders mention that they simply wait for money to be lying around somewhere and just scoop it up with little effort. Brownsfan, would call that a "gimme" trade. My guess is that those types of setups happen quite often in the world of stocks but it can be very hard to be aware of them.

 

I thought a nice little thread of just annotated stock charts of setups you are watching or have come onto your radar would be not only interesting but also would spur some possible trades for those not watching what you are watching.

 

So here we go. I have made some great money on PMI in the past so I always am watching them as a way to play moves in housing. They are forming a nice little wedge around a reasonable S/R level I had marked even before the wedge began. I do think this could go either way but I will be watching this.

Good idea, for all the reasons stated, there are usually a few standout charts.

(i hope) I have attached one that works well for me..

It is VBA an Australian stock. The reason being that it has a lot of potential upside (2-300%), showing signs of rallying on all indicators, and is actually getting upgrades from analysts. (though i am technically based, I stumbled across this news hence alerting me to it)

 

One point of a thread like this though - ideally it needs be be segregated into either countries, or sectors. Otherwise too many charts may come through. OR try and limit it to people submitting the best of the best - eg; one a week, or fortnight.

Even then I think it will lead to a lot of charts.

sorry about the small picture - I'll work out the best way to send these things one day.

Its VBA-ASX on esignal feed. In this case as its a long term trade I use the weekly to confirm, but it also looks similar on a daily chart.

It uses the Donchian channels (I am not a big believer in optimising for the best values, and hence just use 25 day and 50 day)

I simply look for higher highs, and higher lows, while also looking for a lot of potential upside. Which means you have to be prepared to get on reasonably early. But using a weekly chart still gives plenty of time.

Right at a trend line as well as a support level. Seems like a pretty low risk area to go long with a stop just below trend and support.

 

Got a nice move from that support level. I wonder if the combination of a horizontal and trendline support level give a higher probability of a reversal becoming profitable.

I think you'll find dinero that the more confluence of reliable signals you get at once, the stronger the trade. The key finding the reliable ones.

 

Nice charts, keep it up.

Reliable signals....

Since I have never looked at indicators, all I have in my arsenal to consider is S/R levels, trendlines, candles, and price action, if you can call that a signal. Maybe I should look into moving averages a little since so many traders are using them to decide on trades also.

All you have is:

  • S/R
  • Trendlines
  • Candles
  • And price

You poor thing. ;)

 

If you want to open that indicator pandora's box, do it already. In another thread I warned you what may happen but if that itch won't go away, then itch it. Just don't say you weren't forewarned.

 

And if you must do it, stick with the simple stuff that you can understand how it's even constructed. Moving averages are easy to grasp, volatility ranges (bollingers, keltners) or oscillators that show overbought/oversold areas.

 

Just be prepared to be massively let down. You will find what you think is the grail b/c one day bollingers nailed every single move and the next you'll get slaughtered.

 

I have one suggestion if you do this - post it here so others can learn from it. Seriously. Start your own 'indicator experimentation' thread and run w/ it.

Yea, I probably shouldn't have posted that last post. It came across the wrong way. I won't be using indicators because I do trust you and others that have helped me so much thus far.

 

I might use an indicator if it clearly showed me some of the things I look for in price movement but I have so much more research and trade analysis to do before I can start that search.

 

I'll try to keep posting some charts that look like reasonable setups based on the signals I noted above.

Right, Brownie. How could anyone possibly think they could trade with such a pathetically outfitted tool box?

 

I'm pulling for you, Dinero, but I'm not a warm weather person. So if you get yourself hooked on indicator crack, someone else will have to fly out there for the intervention.

 

Best for you never to try the stuff. Trust me. It took me years to kick the habit. You are not missing anything. Trust me.

 

Best Wishes,

LOL. I bet you would really like the warm weather.

No intervention for me. I won't be going through the indicators.

 

I do trust you guys. That is why I hang around your threads and post my novice ideas so I can get set straight when I stray from the path to success.

Getting this thread back on track - what's so wrong with having a trendline and S/R level tested simultaneously and then trade from it? Your chart looked pretty good to me and was fairly easy to see how you did it.

 

Here's part of the issues people have with S/R and/or trendlines - you can't just plug it into TradeStation and produce a p/l report. You actually have to see it and draw it yourself. It's an art, not a science.

 

So maybe you are onto something Dinero - confluence of the 'horizontal' S/R level + an obvious trendline. I say obvious b/c I've seen people using trendlines that have lines all over the place. Try to keep it clean.

Hi,

while I dont want to knock indicators, if you are trying to avoid them I always use this thought when I need to remind myself. (As every now and again the "search" arises its head for me)

It may be a little silly but it works for me.:2c:

"imagine driving along on a motorbike and following a car that has its indicator on. It does not mean its going to turn. But its very dangerous to overtake just in case it does."

I have attached a corn trade (i know its not an equity - but i have not looked at any the last week) but the point is regards trend lines and something that works for me.

with a few simple guidelines

1 - dont get too fancy on where you draw them, just get the general direction, you will always find plenty of options.

2 - combine them with clear high low breaks. you want to see higher highs, higher lows (or opposite for downtrends)

3 - i always prefer to see a pullback toward the trendline. gives me patience to wait.

4 - you can either get on short term and trade the breaks, the pullback or wait for the longer term trends to change, and just go with them.

5 - they can be used on any time frame. any instrument.

 

It combines the idea of S-R but using more the donchian type channels. (I dont see these as an indicator)

The one issue with trend lines that might be raised is the fact that they are very subjective. hence by combining them as a guide with something else always helps.

RAIL

 

Quick fundamental info.

It is a railroad. Warren Buffet just bought a railroad recently citing that as the economy grows so will the transport business (not that everything he does is the right thing). This railroad and also the one he bought and both transport a lot of coal.

 

The support level was holding well and I liked the fundamentals for a long term hold. Stop loss would be below the support line. I bought this one with real IRA money.

interesting Dinero - i like this sort of thing, but have learnt over the years (as it suits my style), to wait and buy into strength on such a chart. I would wait for it to start to rally and look to buy it back above $20 with strength with a similar stop. It stops me from picking bottoms and getting smelly fingers.

Also the big drop here would make me suspicious if i did not understand why - was it a dividend, share issue, profit warning. the gap up and gap down sends a few flags for me that i would like to know why first.

:helloooo:

 

Maybe use volume as well if you can figure it, but otherwise leave the rest alone. They deliver some quick even spectacular wins, but over the long term they are like most lovers and never call except to let you down.

Here is another I am watching at what appears to be significant support. It had a quick peak below it in September.

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=16379&stc=1&d=1260224280

 

Quick update on DNN (Uranium miner). Nice little hammer at support. Most of this recent move down has been on lighter volume. I got interested in this stock a while back because uranium prices appeared over extended to the downside especially in light of the the green energy movement which will likely involve nulear power to a large degree. I might buy some of this tomorrow depending on morning price action.

    • Date: 11th July 2025.   Demand For Gold Rises As Trump Announces Tariffs!   Gold prices rose significantly throughout the week as investors took advantage of the 2.50% lower entry level. Investors also return to the safe-haven asset as the US trade policy continues to escalate. As a result, investors are taking a more dovish tone. The ‘risk-off’ appetite is also something which can be seen within the stock market. The NASDAQ on Thursday took a 0.90% dive within only 30 minutes.   Trade Tensions Escalate President Trump has been teasing with new tariffs throughout the week. However, the tariffs were confirmed on Thursday. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports starting August 1st, along with 50% tariffs on copper and goods from Brazil. Some experts are advising that Brazil has been specifically targeted due to its association with the BRICS.   However, the President has not directly associated the tariffs with BRICS yet. According to President Trump, Brazil is targeting US technology companies and carrying out a ‘witch hunt’against former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, a close ally who is currently facing prosecution for allegedly attempting to overturn the 2022 Brazilian election.   Although Brazil is one of the largest and fastest-growing economies in the Americas, it is not the main concern for investors. Investors are more concerned about Tariffs on Canada. The White House said it will impose a 35% tariff on Canadian imports, effective August 1st, raised from the earlier 25% rate. This covers most goods, with exceptions under USMCA and exemptions for Canadian companies producing within the US.   It is also vital for investors to note that Canada is among the US;’s top 3 trading partners. The increase was justified by Trump citing issues like the trade deficit, Canada’s handling of fentanyl trafficking, and perceived unfair trade practices.   The President is also threatening new measures against the EU. These moves caused US and European stock futures to fall nearly 1%, while the Dollar rose and commodity prices saw small gains. However, the main benefactor was Silver and Gold, which are the two best-performing metals of the day.   How Will The Fed Impact Gold? The FOMC indicated that the number of members warming up to the idea of interest rate cuts is increasing. If the Fed takes a dovish tone, the price of Gold may further rise. In the meantime, the President pushing for a 3% rate cut sparked talk of a more dovish Fed nominee next year and raised worries about future inflation.   Meanwhile, jobless claims dropped for the fourth straight week, coming in better than expected and supporting the view that the labour market remains strong after last week’s solid payroll report. Markets still expect two rate cuts this year, but rate futures show most investors see no change at the next Fed meeting. Gold is expected to finish the week mostly flat.       Gold 15-Minute Chart     If the price of Gold increases above $3,337.50, buy signals are likely to materialise again. However, the price is currently retracing, meaning traders are likely to wait for regained momentum before entering further buy trades. According to HSBC, they expect an average price of $3,215 in 2025 (up from $3,015) and $3,125 in 2026, with projections showing a volatile range between $3,100 and $3,600   Key Takeaway Points: Gold Rises on Safe-Haven Demand. Gold gained as investors reacted to rising trade tensions and market volatility. Canada Tariffs Spark Concern. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports drew attention due to Canada’s key trade role. Fed Dovish Shift Supports Gold. Growing expectations of rate cuts and Trump’s push for a 3% cut boosted the gold outlook. Gold Eyes Breakout Above $3,337.5. Price is consolidating; a move above $3,337.50 could trigger new buy signals. Always trade with strict risk management.

    • Back in the early 2000s, Netflix mailed DVDs to subscribers.   It wasn’t sexy—but it was smart. No late fees. No driving to Blockbuster.   People subscribed because they were lazy. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone else is lazy too.   Those who saw the future in that red envelope? They could’ve caught a 10,000%+ move.   Another story…   Back in the mid-2000s, Amazon launched Prime.   It wasn’t flashy—but it was fast.   Free two-day shipping. No minimums. No hassle.   People subscribed because they were impatient. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone hates waiting.   Those who saw the future in that speedy little yellow button? They could’ve caught another 10,000%+ move.   Finally…   Back in 2011, Bitcoin was trading under $10.   It wasn’t regulated—but it worked.   No bank. No middleman. Just wallet to wallet.   People used it to send money. Investors bought it because they saw the potential.   Those who saw something glimmering in that strange orange coin? They could’ve caught a 100,000%+ move.   The people who made those calls weren’t fortune tellers. They just noticed something simple before others did.   A better way. A quiet shift. A small edge. An asymmetric bet.   The red envelope fixed late fees. The yellow button fixed waiting. The orange coin gave billions a choice.   Of course, these types of gains are rare. And they happen only once in a blue moon. That’s exactly why it’s important to notice when the conditions start to look familiar.   Not after the move. Not once it's on CNBC.

    • What These Attacks Look Like There are several ways you could get hacked. And the threats compound by the day.   Here’s a quick rundown:   Phishing: Fake emails from your “bank.” Click the link, give your password—game over.   Ransomware: Malware that locks your files and demands crypto. Pay up, or it’s gone.   DDoS: Overwhelm a website with traffic until it crashes. Like 10,000 bots blocking the door. Often used by nations.   Man-in-the-Middle: Hackers intercept your messages on public WiFi and read or change them.   Social Engineering: Hackers pose as IT or drop infected USB drives labeled “Payroll.”   You don’t need to be “important” to be a target.   You just need to be online.   What You Can Do (Without Buying a Bunker) You don’t have to be tech-savvy.   You just need to stop being low-hanging fruit.   Here’s how:   Use a YubiKey (physical passkey device) or Authenticator app – Ditch text message 2FA. SIM swaps are real. Hackers often have people on the inside at telecom companies.   Use a password manager (with Yubikey) – One unique password per account. Stop using your dog’s name.   Update your devices – Those annoying updates patch real security holes. Use them.   Back up your files – If ransomware hits, you don’t want your important documents held hostage.   Avoid public WiFi for sensitive stuff – Or use a VPN.   Think before you click – Emails that feel “urgent” are often fake. Go to the websites manually for confirmation.   Consider Starlink in case the internet goes down – I think it’s time for me to make the leap. Don’t Panic. Prepare. (Then Invest.)   I spent an hour in that basement bar reading about cyberattacks—and watching real-world systems fall apart like dominos.   The internet going down used to be an inconvenience. Now, it’s a warning.   Cyberwar isn’t coming. It’s here.   And the next time your internet goes out, it might not just be your router.   Don’t panic. Prepare.   And maybe keep a backup plan in your back pocket. Like a local basement bar with good bourbon—and working WiFi.   As usual, we’re on the lookout for more opportunities in cybersecurity. Stay tuned.   Author: Chris Campbell (AltucherConfidential) Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
