    Perfect Wave - 2012-1/2

    Looks like you called it . . . nice B wave back up. . . . or did the B-C already happen, in the bottom of the box? :D

    Catching Tails

    . . . and wouldn't you know, less than five minutes after placing the stop, price went straight down to 14.20 (yes one cent above my stop), paused, and straight back up to 14.32. Checked my account and I was filled @ 14.19. Now I see why daytraders don't use stops, it's like showing everyone...

    Interesting idea. Thanks for posting. Regarding the double bottom / wave 3 break thru the 50 SMA on a disaster chart, check this: NFLX 40% potential with conservative triggers.

    Position is lingering and I almost cut it on Friday afternoon but The Market implored me to stay put. For your amusement, here is a comparison between BAC and RIMM on the weekly chart. Note the similarities.

    Why do 95 % of traders lose ?

    This sentence hits me right in the nadz....... I have reviewed my past account blowups and it was always lack of discipline that did it. I had a method with positive expectancy and the test results to prove it, but The Market kept faking me out. It was always after a string of small losses...

    Perfect Wave - 2012-1/2

    That looks very logical. Chop like this makes me so angry some days! Perhaps I can see a hypnotist to get me to stop trading during corrective waves. They are unpredictable.
