How tiny is the account, if you don't mind me asking.

I want to know NoDoji's results for the year.

TA theory: If price can break above a previous high, it will run higher. Of course that is not always true, but is it usually true? Let your research begin.

You could have also placed a buy stop entry order just above the late Oct high and got in around 9.90

Looking at the chart you posted.

Price formed a breakout higher high in late Oct compared to late Sep and then moved down to form a higher low. Classic pattern.

"The turtles ignored the System One four-week breakout signal if the last four-week signal was a winner" -from Covel's book.

Correction: It does tell you the stock and time frame after you have played.

The game is the real market. It shows actual prior stock charts, but does not tell you which stock or during which time period, so that you can not look it up. By the way Oracle had lost $ in the game so far, since you begin with $10,000 and he was at around $9600.
