a FINAL CHART - cOMPARING AGTHX (mutual fund) with SPY compares the costs of active management with the costs and returns of the low cost etf SPY- which tracks the S&P500. I used the given Expense ratio of AGTHX at .66- under a 1.00% and reportedly well below the reported industry...

A chart comparing the AGTHX growth fund to the S&P 500 index tells a story of the growth fund outperforming the index significantly. What smart advertising! When investment firms promote their particular product- they show a growth chart of how your investment would grow much larger...

For those that are paying fees to have your investments/IRAs,Pensions etc actively managed- this study suggests you may want to compare- after fees and expenses- how your returns actually stack up compared to a passive index type of approach- ( like Vanguard offers) .or investing through low...

In the earlier post Thursday, I was looking at how the faster 30 minute RENKO had an entry confirmation with confirming indicator crossings. , while the slower 2 hr Renko had failed to confirm . Everyone understands that the faster the time frame, the more responsive price is as smaller...

Market rallied hard today- + 1% PJP position filled - on a buy-stop $76.50- DUG jumped a bit higher. Today's SPY price action started off with a strong upside move- The 2 hr chart demonstrates that. Keep in mind the 2 prior times in this decline that price attempted to move higher- This...

I added to the DUG position today. I purchased an additional 20 shares for a total of 37. While i think this is also supported by the chart, This is also my sense of where prices in this industry may go in the nearer future- That gives me a long Bias- I worked through where i should set...

3.11.15 tHE MARKETS HAVE eased up- with only a small decline at the close. Today's open was slightly above yesterday's close, but price moved lower during the day- It's difficult to tell at the EOD when one just views the daily chart how that price action proceeded - You see the...

With the market selling off today, it is reportedly on concerns of the strong dollar and it's impact- And perhaps concerns that The Easing in Europe will not be as "successful" as the US Fed policy has been. That the strong dollar will reduce the net profits of the US Industrial companies...

3.10.15 mid afternoon moment- Dental appointment Don't know the catalyst- for the market selling off- presently indexes all down -1.5% +/- Today is a good day to not be overly exposed on the long side for active traders- and one of those tough ones for investors who hold long positions and...

sOME 2 hOUR SPY CHARTS: The 1st 2 are RENKO- one with fast indicator values, and the other with standard -out of the box- values-. compare the timeliness between the fast and slower indicator values- This would be something one should consider over multiple periods of time and compare. The...

Final Thoughts- Sunday 2015.3.8 Proportionately, I hold a large % in cash presently in the trading account (sold off this week) and also in the investment account-sold off gradually this past 2 weeks- I don't think the market is set to drop significantly here- It's just my...

Looking at SPY- The 1st chart is of Spy -candlesticks- and the indicators on a 'faster' setting than typical. Notice it generates 7 possible BUY signals - as both indicators make the cross- the MACD above the 0 line- the adx green over red. I think I made the adx a bit faster in this...

Got to watch 3 back to back sessions of HOUSE OF Cards- Good show- on NFLX . Getting back to some last charting this Saturday pm..... In response to a couple of questions i received- In this recent group of charts, I'm trying to teach myself- and share the process as i interpret it.- to...

In the above chart with the standard indicator time frames- and waiting for the 0 line cross on the MACD- the 0 line cross may give a delayed entry, while the ADX14 was also several bricks later. If I was just using the Renko chart and the 5 ema as my control value, my rule for a long entry...

Some traders trade on price and price alone- Price Action (PA) is likely both an art and an acquired skillset to interpret that would take many thousands of screen hours and actual trading to develop into becoming a consistently successful trader. Few (myself included) are capable of...

another way to view volume without clutter is to add it to the renko chart. this is also a good way to have a 'clean ' chart- using a hi-lo Renko that captures the significant price movements . It allows one to introduce an indicator- in this chart volume- to see if it looks promising...

I see the chart showed in the prior post- but minimized. I'll attach it here larger sized

3.7.15. Finally some Sun and a bit of warming this Saturday- Lots of spring things to do outside- but took time for a chart of BRKB and volume as an indicator of what is to follow. While this is a 2 hr chart, it captures both uptrending and some downtrending periods- You could...
