Hi Ivica

Thanks for the thread, I thought I'd follow along to see how you are doing
I am going to be using a different style system, (papertrading now) but I wanted to follow your thread to see how close my indicators match yours on the stocks you pick. Swing trading only at present.
Thanks

Hi,

I use TS, tradeStation charts. But indicators must be same on all charts. It is always good to see other ideas, you can like chart and trade it by own way. Anyway for more informations you can visit my site or contact me. In my opinion swing trading is good way to be profitable, because you always have time to make good trading plan and think about that. For Scalp trading you must have experience and be very fast.

Regards
Ivica

Hi all,

Hope that you all who follow this little topic had nice time with DDR. I gave it before several days and DDR has setup at 05/19/2008:

That was setup chart. If you remember I told that DDR is great for intraday setup and also big risk reward possibility. It had nice 60 min, daily, weekly and monthly chart and we could use it for day, swing and position trade. Well, day and swing reached targets and position is open.

Look at it now:

It is around equal move and $40 area is broken. With many bad market signals and news I believe that position trade look good and I will follow that one for more swing and day setups. If anyone will be interested for them always can contact me or for more other setups and explanations. Remember that when some chart have position potential, then it is always good to stay in focus.

Hope you all doing well and wish you all best.
Ivica

STAR was swing setup on the watch list from 05/27/2008. I liked action because despite of market weakness START stayed strong and had “own way” what improved few days after when broke up and gave us very nice profit. Chart of the week, position trade etc is updated and if you interested you get more. This is my classic trade move-rest-move. It is great education example that even in weak market we can find good strong setup. Look how 10 and 20sma can be good trading tool.
Wish you all great trading this week.

Symbol: NKE

Sector: Consumer goods
Industry: Textile – Apparel Footwear & Accessories

TRADING PLAN

Entry price: above $70.25
Stop price: under $66.00

Target area: open

Chart explanation:

NKE holding very nice during market weakness and showing “own way” what is always best for us. On the weekly chart NKE consolidate at highs what result with monthly continuation pattern. I will look for another (3rd) try to break above $70 area. Equal move and number area is $80 area and that will be initial target area, but as always all depend on breakup volume and pace. Stronger pace and bigger volume = more odds for bigger move. It is simply setup, I will say my classic setup: move-rest-move, but it is always very important to analyze all time frames and have whole picture before setup.
Those who want more examples or have any question or comment about NKE please feel free to contact me

Kind regards
