Not carpet, computer screen enlarged lol. white line is 10 EMA, don’t recall the time frame, it’s AAPL chart. So at what point is the real body if the candle to tall to qualify as a Doji?

Is this last candle considered a Doji?

Isn’t monthly more for longer term investments?

but you to have some basis for looking at say, a daily, vs a weekly chart. So I don’t understand your comment

Thanks Easymon, I will look at this.

From one Ken to another…. You’re like the guy at the craps table that always bets the Don’t Pass Line. LOL

But you have choices, if you want drilling and exploration buy XOP. THE GOOD THING ABOUT ETFs is they are transparent, you can see everything they own, in real time. If you don’t like what they own, sell it. Also, when I hear index funds, I thing broad indices. s&P, Russel 2000, etc. Sector...

Yes, that comes with the territory. s&p 500 makes changes periodically. Whenever that happens, it always seems orderly to me. The stocks going in and out are volatile, but the index / ETF manages to stay orderly in how it trades.

When looking for setups, not daytrades, but swing and position trades, what’s your go to time frame. Having been a longer term investor I’ve always focused on one year daily charts. But I’m thinking my decision making process for trades should start with a 59 day daily, then maybe drill down to...

may not be as much of a move as small cap oils, but I’d call a two week 30% move (approx, I did the math in my head) parabolic enough to consider lightening up. Especially in a mega cap.

yes, but if a shareholder sells 1000 shares, manager must sell a % of each stock in the index to raise the cash, no? Point is, they aren’t picking and choosing what to sell. They create or liquidate a share by selling a % of each stock n the index

If it’s a true passive index fund, the only catalyst for selling assets is shareholders selling the etf.

Thanks for all the great responses, this is a very helpful group

4200 looks to me like a level that needs to hold, otherwise we have problems beyond where we are now

That’s what I was missing, I didn’t click on groups. Thanks

Yeah I get that. I’m not trading yet, just trying to get set up, I will probably start out by just focusing on the 11 spider sector ETFs. I look at charts every day to learn.

Thanks much

I think it was you smallfil, that showed me a way to screen for leading sectors/industries on FINVIZ. It was very useful, and I should have saved it as a preset. Now I can’t replicate it. every screen I’m doing is showing lists of individual stocks, not sectors. Can you help?

Thanks for all the responses. Some good stuff. @ smallfil, thanks especially for the comments on managing long term money. I’ve been aware and do look at charts of my long term stocks and ETFs, but while I have never been a buy and hold forever guy, I’ve been less eager to sell those...

Thanks smallfil, good stuff, very helpful
