I want to play a TRADING GAME with you all....

[GrowleyMonster]

I will pick random stock charts from time to time. Something hopefully no one here knows. I'll pick a piece of them, and post a pic of the price chart up to a certain point, at which point I will black out the remainder. I will post the stock price chart, the volume chart, and the time interval that the chart is representing. Then everyone can pick either "up big", "down big", or "roughly flat" based on what the stock price did after that in the blacked out portion. I will make sure to pick stock charts (including the blacked out portions) that were either up big, down big, or roughly flat over that blacked out period.

We shall see who is the most EliteTrader!!!

Who is in? Anyone have a good (free) charting thing I can use? If not I will just use finance.yahoo.com, I think they have basic charts with price and volume.

Set up a free TradingView account. Great charting. and I think you get all the basic indicators in the free version. You can connect to quite a few brokers, as well, but not IB, sadly. I wish I could easily trade my IB account with TradingView. I do have my Alpaca account connected to TV, though.

It's going to capitulate, but finally ends higher than the screenshot.

Also you need to show more history, I can't see so much here.

Duly noted.
How about 3/4 of the chart for history and 1/4 for unfoldment?

By the way, this ain't my thread.
I just got tired of waiting, hopefully OP will throw up some charts.
Far as I'm concerned, everybody oughta throw up some charts.

Any input is sure fair game...
I don't make the rules, but it seems maybe a good idea to
First and Foremost!
-Remember to save an image of BOTH halves of the chart. The BEFORE and the AFTER.
-Strip the Date, the Timeframe, the Product, the Price?

What's the general thinking on 'self drawing' indicators?
Seems like any 'self drawing' indicators might be fine?
-Moving Averages?
-any others?

How about those 'Across the Bottom' indicators and oscilators...?

At the end of the day, for my two cents until the OP comes back, lol, I just wanna see more charts, whatever you put on em's fine by me.

1/4 should be fine, but I would prefer to see at least 1,000 candles to make an assessment.

I think indicators just use the screen real estate, and there are so many combos that it's better to not start down that road.

Edit, your second chart is no trade for me

Here's an example of the type of chart I'd enjoy playing with.

If you enjoy this thread, you might also enjoy this old idea where I asked people to predict a chart drawn from the digits of Pi:

Volume included as the vertical lines (white is more) for Hershey if he's still around.

Last Call...
Where are the traders?
Don't tell us, show us..

 

[easymon1]

I hope I'm not spoiling it for anybody else by posting my analysis here. I'm gonna see if the Spoiler Alert can hide the chart.

Spoiler: Don't look until you've made your own analysis! :)

Thanks, easymon1 !!!

After a downtrend expect a move sideways to up. That the trend might be over is shown by how the bulls recovered from the low swiftly. There is also a broken downtrend line above the red candles to the previous low.

We Got TWO Players and TWO Winners.

Congratulations. 2 for 2.
Go check out what they said: click on the links above. That's how you do it!
Not Too Shabby.
Both trader's approaches using stops near swing lows are winners- Cha Ching!

I don't know about capitulate, it bettered the prior swing, but...
It finally ends higher, yep.
