Can you be profitable with random entry?

Quote from Mike805:

Yeah, I have no answer to that question. I don't know what will happen.

I like the idea that it appears like an obvious short to you guys. It all depends on the product I guess...

it appears a clear short because u rarely see a recovery after two huge long shadows at the end of two double tops, nevermind all the other bearish indicators..i think i only saw it happenin' when there's a lot of volumes or on news stocks...this is one of the most clear cut short set-up imo, especially if it is on sifs.
 
yes, random entries would do just fine here, hee hee.

jokes asides, i might be biased to open a long pos on both trades but there's a good chance it might go lower beofore takin' off again..if it does at all...of course i might be dead wrong as well, so i think i'd rather prefer to stay on the sidelines and wait for further more clear signals.

u got the rest of those charts by a chance? :p

Both are ER2 5 min charts.

yeah that set-up is quite common on gappers up soon after the open...shootin' star often present with a similar pattern and the stock usually talkes off although it migh go lower first. the first went lower a bit as i thot
 
The above are some of my favorite setups. Of course no two setups are ever *exactly* the same, but, the scenarios are identical in terms of the psychology involved.

I always question when something is obvious - especially when statistics are used to prove a trading setup. In certain cases, statistics can be used to prove just about anything, but, peoples behaviours tend to be *slightly* more predictable...:)

of course, but your second set-up is quite diff from the one bearbelly posted, it has a lot of bullish traits and the fact the double top is not exactly in line makes a very good case for higher prices.

Yes - if you can give me up to 1 hour to trade from the random entry point in case I need it. :)
