Tell me if Im reading into the charts what I want to read into them..but doesnt GOOG look like its preparing to make a major move upwards? Last year at this time the chart was looking very weak and then it gapped down.. this time thats one strong arse looking chart and a giant pennant. The...

Not sure if thats an ET joke Im unaware of..but no... I rarely post anything anywhere.

Alright.. Im an idiot. I put in a bunch of orders last night but didnt ready my stops. Figured id get up and do that in the morning. So I overslept and while everyone else on the planet was making bank I lost about ~1% of my capital because i didnt get up to put in my stops and while a...

I vote 2500.. but then we go back to 2400 Cool how we hit the 23.6% fib line on Jan 3rd almost perfectly. If I were to throw a dart Id say we churn between 2500 and 2400 for the next 2 months and then we waterfall down to ~2320 ish. Then back up....that woudl be a nice ~6% correction

Right..so if it closes ( is it 6pm EST ? ) at 94 we gap down... but what happens to all the shares traded up in the high 90s? They are never reflected in the chart or in the daily data ? They just disappear from the record ? Ive watched after hours trading before and never seen such a...

Can someone explain to me how the afterhours trading on AAPL works ? I shot up to ~99 and now its down to ~ 93 How does this affect the opening for tomorrow ? Sorry for my ignorance on this subject.

Sort of looks like January 2008 to me

its been in a trading range for over a year..albiet a nice size one where you can make good money on the swings. IMHO it doesnt look ready to turn around yet. Too many other very good plays out there to bother with this one right now. Stoch and MACD are crossing to positive but thats just...

I tend to agree with Jack... Ive only been actively trading since early summer and Im doing better than I could have ever imagined. Yes..its been a bull run..but I made bank today and it was definately a down day. Having said that..and I totally apologize for threadjacking here..but just...

I follow this theory for the most part. I wait for beautiful plays and then pony up ( what I consider) big money of $100k+. But I then day trade smaller swings using lower amounts $20-$30k capturing a coouple percent here and there . Now..as to making $1m in '07..thats easy..just start...

Im glad I posted this stock up here. I have a longer term position in this because I think its going to do well. But today , like some of you, I did some additional trading on those $.30 moves all day. I was like taking candy from a baby timing the tops and bottoms. All in all I think...

Never heard of that. Your friend has balls of steel. Holding that over the weekend would mean a 10% drop wipes him out... crazy talk I tell ya :)

Thats where I made my cash today... and Im holding them overnight ( which I very rarely do) as indicators seem to point to a good opening. Even with that hearty selloff this afternoon. Anyone else in them ? Opinions ? I found them by consistently refreshing the days percentage gainers...

This is pretty much all I do. Check pre market volume gainers. Volume should be at least 20% of avg volume before the market opens. Check chart to see if there was volume dry up over the past few days ( if not longer ). Price should be gapping up. Dont enter for the first 10 minutes...

Im old ( late 30s ) and started by reading Stan Weinstiens books and subscribing to his newsletter back in the mid 90s. Refined that when I learned about Candlesticks from Nison. Refined that a little further through Toni Turner ( mostly psychology stuff). Eventually took what I felt...

I dont pretend to have a crystal ball but I agree with Maverick. If I recall people were calling TOP on the dot com rally at the end of '96 after the S&P ( I dont pay attention to the dow ) has put in a 66% gain over 2 years ( which is more than we currently have ). Well the rally just...

I did a search but the threads I found are all a couple years old. I figure things have had to progress since then. Im a Mac guy..always have been..that wont change. So... For the past year or so Ive been using Prophet.net charts on Safari. I really like the charts but the java applet is...

sorry to hear about that whipsaw. I agree with the others who said you should always have a sell stop in place. I never make a trade without first deciding on my sell stop

Ive only ever traded NASDAQ/NYSE and since Im a bit of an insomniac I was wondering what trading options I have during the 10pm-4am west coast time period that has good liquidity/volume ?

This is a fantastic post and appreciated. I screwed up today and lost a couple thousand bucks when I should have made a few thousand... all because for a moment I let my emotions affect my trading.
