Interesting Charts for Technical Trades

Recommended Posts

GILD

 

Wish I had seen this yesterday. A good candle touching support is definitely something I normally buy. Another reason I need to teach my kids to scan thousands of charts each night for me. Maybe I'll give them some percent of the profits if I buy one they find.:)

HWD

 

Diamonds I would think are going to make a come back as the economy recovers. Last I heard women still liked them. Just barely broke out of resistence and got a way before it touches the upper trendline. I'm a buyer with stop below the lower trendline.

Now that phrase is an eyebrow raiser

:rofl:

 

I wasn't sure what to call the end of the wedge as sellers and buyers come together and price volatility narrows to almost zero. Once I wrote it, I liked it so I went with it. I actually forgot about it until you posted this and it made me laugh again.

GOOG

 

Still watching GOOG - still too soon for me to short, and I really am interested in whether its sets up a long opportunity. It pierced the upper level of the zone I bracketed last night. Ideally price drops to the 580 level and then we see what happens.

From a fundamental standpoint, I'd also think Google will have some odd movements right now since people are trying to digest the future impact all the news that is coming out at the Consumer Electronics Show right now in Las Vegas.

From a fundamental standpoint...

 

I honestly do not pay any attention to that sort of information. I let others slug it out, and I use the chart to align myself with the strongest slugger. If they are going to fight to a draw for some time, the chart will tell us that too, don't you agree?

I totally agree but to be aware the "fundamental" news can help in understanding irregular price movement perhaps. For example, I don't want to interpret how the oil inventory report on Wednesday morning will affect oil futures prices but I want to know when it comes out so I can be ready for some irregular price movement. Does that make sense?

 

You should get your daughter scanning through some stock charts and have her throw some up on this thread. Might be a fun change of pace from the currencies. Just a thought. Maybe she can find some BBBO to trade.

The break below the Support level and nearness of the next level of resistance kept me out of it. Hope you are making some money from it.

 

I wish.

 

As I think I previously mentioned TLAB was a favorite of mine years ago but it's just futures for me these days.

 

Agree it looks to be into a resistance area now.

Does anyone else use this type of analysis to find trades? It seems like pretty elementry technical analysis but it has a simplicity that I really like. I really need to work on how to manage the exits on these. Right now I am up on every single trade I entered and am holding from this thread. I could simply trail at all natural stops (last pullback pivots) or set some proft target based on the expected range which would be derived from the range of the past year or less. Not sure yet.

That's a great stock symbol. I looked at this and thought, "if I wanted to get in this to ride the trend I would be expecting a pullback very soon, possibly to the bottom trendline at which point I might consider a buy."

You are really getting into trend trading with this type of analysis.

I traded a lot of stocks and used this as a great way for looking at stocks and it allows a lot of visual context to be applied - eg; what's the market, the industry the sector doing? Is this a re- tracement, or actually real support.

I have been trying to systematise the systems a little, and the trend trading fits this to a tee.

Its a whole other avenue similar - but different to the turtle trading rules.

When it comes to stocks, I am mostly "long only," and if I short, it is usually by being long puts. I look for stocks breaking to new highs, preferably all time highs. I do like to buy pullbacks to prior breakout levels as well.

 

Best Wishes,

    • Date: 17th May 2024. Market News – Asian and European futures followed Wall Street lower. Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   The Dow topped 40,000 for the first time ever, but was unable to close with that historic handle. Concurrently, the S&P tried for its 24th record high this year but failed too. The rise in Treasury yields after stronger than expected import prices, and a drumbeat from Fed officials that rates need to remain high for longer, encouraged profit taking. Most Asian equity markets and European futures have followed Wall Street lower, after US data dented rate cut hikes. Chinese data showing slowed consumption and a drop in home sales, although industrial production numbers looked relatively robust. Japan’s core consumer inflation slowed for a 2nd month in a row in April from a year earlier, while the core consumer prices index (CPI) is expected to decelerate to 2.2% from 2.6% in March, the lowest level in 3 months, but still at or above the central bank’s 2% target for more than two years. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex firmed slightly to 104.518 and up from the day’s nadir of 104.080. But it held a 104 handle for a second straight day. It traded above the 105 level from April 10 until May 15. Silver has surged nearly 25% this year, outpacing Gold and becoming a top-performing commodity, though it remains relatively inexpensive compared to gold. Both metals have hit record highs due to central-bank buying and increased interest in China. USOil is 0.75% higher at $79.23. Market Trends:   All three major US indexes closed slightly in the red after posting all-time highs on Wednesday. The NASDAQ closed with a -0.26% decline, while the S&P500 lost -0.21%, and the Dow was off -0.1% at 39,869. It was a corrective day for Treasuries too. Bonds unwound part of their recent rally that took rates down to the lows since early April. Always trade with strict risk management.
