At this time and age TA is quanitfiable and has morphed into the study of behavioural finance. TA was a great starting point before computers were invented to try and model human psychology. You should have at least a little respect for it.

always insightful, thanks true type. I will read the document over the weekend. BTW how would you describe a consolidation to the computer? Vol won't necessary describe that. I am thinking maybe "when the slope of the 10 day MA is 0". Any thoughts?

So if we currently look at AAPL it is consolidating at new highs. Using your statement, the market is okay with aapl being here and therefor on the break we should take a buy?(I bot the 190 call Jun8 for .79). When SPX took that dump 2 days ago AAPL barely budged aswell, I think this also shows...

LOL whats going on with this new photo here? I don't think green is your color ;). Could you explain a bit more? 1. I could get symbols for russel 2000 stocks (easy) 2. I want to buy all time highs if volume is 2x average and sell if price drops below 2% of the high (easy) 3. Now what if the...

Sorry I do not understand the second part of this post. Can you explain? Thanks

I think it is the illiquid stocks that will perform the best with this strategy. For the reason of slower information flow.

Here is the screener I would use

It seems like a reasonable strategy to buy new all time highs on good volume on smaller companies with a stop below the previous day. For example I initiated a play on TUSK yesterday. Does anyone have experience with this/similar strategy? I have a trailing stop initiated and will hold until...

LOOOOL this is a good joke. At least tell your boss you gave him the opportunity to make 10x his money in a week! That should cheer him up.

The horizontal line is the 3.5 mark. oldest on the left, newest on the right.

Hey people, CRM straddle looks like an unreal buy. In fact it is currently pricing in an implied move of 3.5%....30 minutes to close this should be even lower. If you take away it's last 4 quarters, the stock should move ~$13 68% of the time. It also has only moved less than 2% twice so the risk...
