    Iterative Refinement

    Spyder, OK.... I've been thinking through a few things and I have a few lessons I think I may have learned. 1) ABout the TGIC trade. I think there are two things to learn about that. First, and most importantly, I skipped over M and A and went straight to DA. I was not really monitering...

    Iterative Refinement

    Well, todays positions all bore some fruit. :) If it were not for one stupid trade, and one position I gave up on, today would have been a banner day. I'd like to just brag about how well today went, but instead I'll focus on the negative. 1. Today I hope to have finally learned my lesson...

    Hey there, Here's one of those places I get confused when coloring bars. Yesterday on TRA showed decreasing volume and a red volume bar, however the stock clsed up compared to the previous day.... it was just down from its opening. Would this technically be a red or black bar? JF

    I continue my work of reading through Jack's stuff Spyder posted at the beginning of the futures journal. SO much info, so little time! :) Anyway, I think I am beginning to understand better Spyder's comments on context and the P/V relationship. I mentioned a few Macro context items, but he...

    Oh well.... up over a point today after I sold it last Friday for a very small gain. I am just nervous of earning reports. I have been nailed twice on POSITIVE earnings reports resulting in dramatic losses. I don't quite get it, but whatever the case, earning reports result in unpredicatable...

    Iterative Refinement

    Well, Today was an interesting day. Not in a good way, but not terrible either. Most of my purchases from yesterday stopped out or were down. Still ended up positive or even on most of them (JASO, SOLF, NCTY, and TSL). I wish I had been able to pull the trigger and sell earlier, but I am...

    Iterative Refinement

    Hello again, Well, today was an interesting day. I guess one should never complain when one is up. I had many stocks reach DU today, and several reached FRV. I am up, and well on almost all of them. I also sold TBSI for a 14% gain today. :) However, there have been two trades over...

    Spyder, You continue to be the best of teachers. Pointing in the direction of the answer so that I have to work it out for myself! :) 1) I "know" the jokari window, however I will reread Jack's stuff on that which I have found. It is one of those concepts which is incredibly simple...

    Iterative Refinement

    I see you have a similar formation on yours. VIP is headed on course for a serious support level later this week. It went down today as expected. The questions is what will it do when it reaches the corner of the pennant. This is going to be a good exercise for me on "knowing" what a stock is...

    Iterative Refinement

    Yeah, I've learned not to do that anymore, fortunately. When I just looked at the daily chart, It looks like a pennant has been forming since the high established on December 24th and the support line formed in the middle of October... and it is coming to a resolution soon. What we are looking...

    Iterative Refinement

    Hello all again, I have been "fooled" over the past two days by two different stocks, CZZ yesterday and VIP today. CZZ looked like it was in the middle of its daily channel. VIP looked like it was at the top of a channel. They both shared a similar pattern. Early in the morning they shot...

    Hey all, Attached is the daily chart for EHTH. As you can see, there was a pennant formation before yesterday, followed by a BO which I bought into. I kept the stock overnight since there was increasing volume and a BO pattern. I knew that yesterday was a up day for everything, and today...

    Iterative Refinement

    Hello all, I did not post a lot last week. I was sick in the middle of the week, which made me behind on everything in my life. I do have some reflections I want to pass by and make sure I am on the right track, since last week was an ABYSMAL week for my trading, though this week has...

    Iterative Refinement

    Just a post to thank everyone once again. I have been reading up on the jokari window and have begun to understand at a deeper level the relationship between price and volume. I have also been taking Spyders advice and when I examine my daily charts I use only price and volume for my analysis. I...

    I am with you on SSRX today. I held it, because of the good volume. I was also in on ZUMZ, which moved up very nicely today. However, its volume was down from yesterday, so I sold it at the end of the day for about a point gain. JRJC was wild the past couple of days. I got in EARLY on that...
