Interesting Charts for Technical Trades

Recommended Posts

I'll try to get some more large cap stocks in the mix. Feel free to throw some in also.

 

In my book, if its less than $10, its a penny stock. I just figured I do a scroll through penny land to find something to share here in your thread.

 

Market cap has nothing to do with it, either. For example, Citigroup has so many shares outstanding, I think they were still a large cap at 98 cents/share. A large cap penny stock, that is.

 

Here is a source I have used week after week for many years now to find candiates for my watch list.

 

Best Wishes,

Hi Dinerotrader,

 

Because I use seperate computer for internet browsing and trading or trading platform, I didnt look at more of the data i.e left edge and sometimes that fact can change things....that said.

 

now thats a good looking clear chart..

Thats a good looking chart... and if it can succesfully breakout it has a lot of room to potentialy run, making it a good trade from a business stand point.

 

Since Im not a breakout trader and its because Im not used to buying rallies and nothing more.

I would have gotten positioned on and near the trendline touch you have on your chart.

 

last of all, thales brings up an old but vital consideration, no matter how great a stock looks the index futures will influence its movement.

 

When I used to daytrade stocks, a long time ago, I had one eye on the stock and one eye on its index. one of the main reasons why I decided to daytrade futures exclusively.

Hi Dinero,

 

I'll join your penny stock parade. I'm not initiating any new longs right now given the current market action, but, if the markets intentions were clearly to continue up, this is what I would be looking for: SRLS has established a nice, orderly uptrend over several months, and it is now puling back after getting to within 34 pennies of its all time high according to the data I have on Telecharts. I like this little pullback to 3.50, so I would be looking to buy if Friday's high is bttered by at least a dime, and my stop loss would be a penny below Friday's low. I'd be watchful at the 4.50 level (all time high $4.54), but my intention would be to hold this for a few bags if it pushed tonew all time highs.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Thales

 

Hi Dinero,

 

I'm still not looking to initiate any new longs at this time, but I still like this action on SRLS. Buy stop is 3.84, as noted a week ago. Buy stop has not yet triggered, but another pullback to 3.50 occurred.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Thales

Please do post a quick note here when you begin to initiate any longs and why.

 

Do you have specific criteria you use to decide if you are willing to enter new long positions or is it just a general feeling after considering all the market factors you observe?

 

What did you think of my H-L-HL here?

SRLS did print at 3.84, and while I doubt I would have been filled based on that lone print, for the sake of this paper trade, we will assume that I own SRLS at 3.84. The fact that 3.84 was the high tick since posting this stock, we are safe in assuming that I would now own it at no more than 3.84/share.

 

I'll track this here as though I own it. Stop loss is as noted - $3.84.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Thales

Here is a confusing one to me which I wouldn't trade because I am torn between a long and short position. I see an obvious head and shoulder pattern but I also see a pretty strong S/R level that price just moved up from.

 

I'll be back posting more charts on Monday and posting some follow ups on charts I posted that I took real trades on.

This one is just interesting. Resistence at one level and Support was just a bit above that in the past. That would me me leary of taking any breakout move on this until we cleared the 2nd hurdle.

It would be easier if you just numbered the charts in order to make it easy to respond to multiple post.

Way too late to play the breakout IMO, if anything I would be looking to fade exhaustion.

I was thinking that the stock symbol would work for referencing on responses or just quoting the post. If I used numbers, wouldn't everyone just have to start using a legend to look up what we are talking about? Quoting the post works best so everyone can see the original chart that was posted. I'll try to put together a summary post on Monday for all the charts I have posted. Thanks.

How does it work if we insert the stock symbol into the "Title" of each post? This way, scrolling through, we can easily identify related posts. If the post is of a general nature, then we can leave the thread title in the title line.

 

Just a suggestion - its your thread, of course. I'm just trying to help.

So far I am really enjoying this thread. It is amazing how putting these ideas in a thread is so much more meaningful than just making mental notes while I scan through stocks. I’ve also been making some real money on a few of those that I took trades on. So far I have traded RAIL, OCNF, MBI, and ARP. I sold RAIL for an 8% gain, I am up 28% on MBI, and I’m up 17% on ARP (as of 12/27/09).

 

What stocks to scan through?

I try to look at most of these picks from a mostly technical view but I do give some fundamental bias for some. The question for me right now is whether I should just trade any stock with a good chart or should I only look for technical setups on stocks with strong fundamentals. Thales noted that he primarily considers IBD 100 for his picks so he can incorporate reasonable fundamentals into his selections.

I do like a small cap stock subscription I use from Motley Fool. I throw their picks in the mix of stocks I look through and only trade the ones that have a good technical entry point.

Does anyone else have what they believe is a good way to find a group of strong fundamental stocks that can then be sorted through technically?

 

I think I will try to start posting where my stop loss would be in red and my entry level in green

 

Summary

To summarize the thread thus far, here are all the charts I have posted and the couple Thales posted.

  • PMI
  • GKK

[!

 

Glad to hear that you are Making some profits that is allways fun...I just wanted to touch on IBD with a little more detail.

 

Combining TA and some solid fundamentals can be powerful combination. I will admit that I'm not a high frequincy or active stock trader.

 

In the past What I use to do was very simple, IBD's market research In my observation is excelent, they are the only service that I have ever found to provide some solid value.

All the stock I traded were in IBD recommnedation list.... the next step is to watch the main market indices(Dow nasdaq s&p) to make sure you are not intiating any trades durring an exhausition point etc..

and for timing your stocks use what ever TA you are confident in.

For me, back several years ago, This is what I was doing and mostly because I didnt want to spend to much time on stock and my main focus has allways been futures.

I Took all the oil related stocks from the IBD list and placed them inside a Watch-list. Then I opened a chart for each stock and made my analysis and any notations on the chart and saved the chart. Every night I would look at each chart to see if a trade was near triggering a potential trade--if so I would either place an order right then or make it a priority to watch that stock in the morning to get order placed.

This worked out really well for me and I was using some simple TA like buying trendline touch or s/r level nothing complicated.

 

IBD also has a web based scanner which you can use to scan for the stocks that you prefer using their indicators. that is another tool that used and liked very much.

 

In short ,personaly,There are only two types of stocks I would ever trade/invest.

1st. stocks that I understand, i.e. their product makes sense to me as aconsumer and I have strong feeling that its a good product and its a new inovative product just hitting the market. This allows for the stck to have tremendous growth.

e.g. Im a big movie fan and when Netflix first started to offer movies being dilevered via US mail, with no late fees possible (context; back then we didnt have naything like On-Demand, only options were to go to the Movie theater or drive and wait in line at the local video rental store and if your late then you have ot pay late fees )- I instantly new this was a company that was going to take off. Netflix is just one example of many.

 

2nd. The stock has to be in the IBD list, it just makes trading easier.

 

I also tend to stay away from stocks that are too cheap <$5. however, there are allways exceptions, for example buying citigroup around $1 right after the Saudi prince came on CNBC saying that he has increased his holdings in citi and purchsed another several billion dollars of citigroup, Knowing the ties betweent eh Saudi's and the US gov. that was the best clue one will get that the US gov. will net let citigroup go under and buying at around $1 became very attractive investment.

Hopefuly TLAB will reverse at R and enter the buy zone on my chart....if so then a potential buying opportunity may occur, if not then so be it.

I just cant see TLAB moveing too far from the location it stopped and reversed up. If we are to get a meaningful move up to test the 2008 high I believe we have to break one more time before we have strong rally.

Dine, do you ever look at the sector charts of the stock your looking at ??

If yes could you post a chart of BGH sector chart.

By the way if and when I hear myself mumbling something like I dont want to short here because I cant tell if the momentum has run out yet, I will usually listen to that because its a red flag. simply my intution/subconscious is telling me to becareful. Normaly I will let that trade pass until Im more clear about the trade.

Looking at other instruments that are related to the stock im looking to trade can sometimes give me more clarity....this is why I asked if you ever look at the sector chart as a whole to get a feel for all the stock in that sector.

    • Date: 21st November 2024. Gold Regains Momentum as NVIDIA Delivers a Revenue Surge! NVIDIA beat earnings expectations, and nearly doubled revenue on an annual basis. NVIDIA stocks dip slightly despite strong earnings and a strong forecast for the current quarter. Analysts expect market participants to purchase the dip. The Japanese Yen wins back some ground as Bank of Japan Governor indicates the regulator will be willing to hike to support the FX market. Gold, Silver and other Metals all rise due to predictions of high retail and institutional demand and geopolitical tensions remaining high. NASDAQ – NVIDIA Surpasses Earnings Expectations! The NASDAQ took a sudden dip on Wednesday measuring 1.50%, however, investors quickly took the opportunity to purchase at the lower price as most indicators fell to give an oversold indication. As a result, the NASDAQ ended the day only slightly lower than the open price, but downward momentum remains this morning. The downward momentum is partially due to geopolitical tensions which are on the rise. Yesterday, Ukraine fired UK-made missiles into Russia and fired US-made the day before. There are also reports and speculations that Russia has sent ICB Missiles into Ukraine for the first time. However, reports are not confirmed, and there are signs of certain stocks recovering. Currently, there is no economic data which is driving the lack of demand, therefore investors are mainly concentrating on NVIDIA earnings. NVIDIA beat earnings expectations by 8.50% and revenue by 5.90%. Investors were particularly impressed by the significantly higher revenue which has almost doubled annually. In addition to this, the forecast given for the current quarter came in relatively strong. Lastly, the CEO, Jenson Huang, said to Bloomberg that demand exceeds supply but the company is setting in place measures to boost supply in order to meet the high level of demand. Taking into consideration the strong earnings, positive tone and upbeat forecasts for the coming quarter, many may wonder, “why is the stock declining 2.50% during this morning’s Asian session?”. This is partially due to the lower risk appetite, but also due to certain forecast expectations for NVIDIA not being met. The average NVIDIA forecast expectations from Wall Street firms was $37.1 billion, which NVIDIA comfortably surpassed. However, certain firms had expectations as high as $41 billion. Based on these higher expectations, the company underachieved and could trigger a lack of demand from this sector of Wall Street. Though many analysts continue to expect shareholders to purchase the lower price as long as the stock market will remain favorable.   EURJPY – BOJ To Consider Hike! The EURJPY declines for a second consecutive day, particularly gaining bearish momentum after this morning’s Bank of Japan press conference. The main takeaway from the press conference was that the Governor told journalists that the BOJ was willing to hike interest rates in the upcoming months but decisions will be made meeting by meeting. The Bank of Japan’s decision to raise interest rates in July was influenced in part by the weak Yen, which had driven up import costs and inflation. At the Europlace Financial Forum in Tokyo, Governor Kazuo Ueda emphasized that exchange-rate fluctuations are a key consideration in shaping economic and inflation forecasts. He noted that the central bank carefully examines what is driving these currency changes when assessing their impact. The EURJPY now trades below the 75-Bar Exponential Moving Average and below the 50.00 on the RSI. In addition to this, the exchange rate continues to form lower swing lows while the Euro underperforms against most currencies. These indications point towards a potential downward price movement.   Gold – Geopolitical Tensions Send Gold on a Bullish Path! Gold has increased in value for a fourth consecutive day, driven largely by geopolitical tensions. Additionally, the absence of significant US economic news has left markets uncertain about the Federal Reserve’s next move. Gold is currently witnessing an active buy signal from most momentum-based indicators due to the strong bullish momentum. For example, traders are able to see the price trading above the Bollinger Band, within a bullish moving average crossover and significantly high on most oscilators. However, investors should note as the price increases, the asset can become overbought and this may trigger a retracement, a correction or sideways price movement. In terms of geopolitical tensions, hopes for a Middle East ceasefire are being tempered by Russia’s revision of its nuclear doctrine, which aims to strengthen its borders after the US-approved long-range strikes from Ukraine reached deep into Russian territory. Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s re-election has yet to significantly influence the conflict, though markets remain optimistic about potential positive developments following his January 20 inauguration.

    • Date: 20th November 2024. Market Rebounds as Putin Signals Readiness for Peace Talks; Focus Shifts to NVIDIA! US Stocks drop to a 2-week low after Ukraine fired US-made missiles into Russia, but rebound in the US session. Putin updates nuclear doctrine, allowing Russia to strike Ukraine if it uses weapons from nuclear-armed nations. Walmart again beat earnings expectations pushing the stock 3.00% higher. Earnings Per Share beat expectations by 8.00%. The Japanese Yen loses momentum and corrects back to previous lows. The US Dollar maintains strong bullish momentum. UK Inflation Rate rises from 1.7% to 2.3% supporting the GBP despite budget concerns continuing. NVIDIA is set to release their quarterly earnings report after market close. NVIDIA stock has risen more than 5.00% indicating the market expects a beat. NASDAQ – All Eyes On NVIDIA Earnings Report! The NASDAQ ended Tuesday 0.71% higher despite coming under significant pressure during the Asian and European session. The NASDAQ fell 1.20% during the day’s first two sessions due to geopolitical tensions triggering a much lower risk appetite. This is due to the US as well as other countries agreeing to allow Ukraine to strike Russia with foreign made weapons. Ukraine quickly took advantage of this by firing ATACMS into Russia. Russia responded by changing their nuclear weapon use doctrine. Here we can see why the global stock market fell rapidly. However, why did the market recover during the US session? During the US session, the risk appetite and confidence of the market improved as the White House confirmed nothing changes with Russia changing their Nuclear Weapons Doctrine. In addition to this, President Putin also said that he would be willing to start peace talks with President Elect Trump. Lastly, the market also took the opportunity to purchase the lower price since NVIDIA’s earnings report is imminent and Walmart already beat their earnings expectations. Walmart is not a component of the NASDAQ, but has improved the sentiment towards the US stock market. NVIDIA, which is on the NASDAQ, is set to release their quarterly earnings report after market close. NVIDIA stock rose 4.89% yesterday and a further 0.47% this morning indicating the market expects a beat. Analysts expect the company’s Earnings Per Share to rise from $0.68 to $0.75 and revenue from $30.04 billion to $33.14 billion. As no US economic data is set to be made public throughout the day, investors are solely concentrating on geopolitical tensions and earnings. The price of the NASDAQ rose above the 75-bar exponential moving average on the 2-hour chart for the first time since 14th. Traders will be monitoring whether the index will be able to maintain momentum above this level and if the price may also rise above the 100-bar SMA. Traders will be waiting for the NASDAQ to regain bullish momentum and if so will act accordingly. Buy signals are likely to rise if the price increases above $20,764.30 and intensifies above $20,777.93. GBPUSD – UK Inflation Rises Above Expectations! The price of the GBPUSD increased in value taking the exchange rate to a 1-week high, but concerns remain according to analysts. The exchange rate is trading 0.30% higher after the UK made public their latest inflation rate. The UK inflation rate rose from 1.7% to 2.3% which is higher than previous expectations and considerably higher than the previous month. The GBP is currently the best performing currency with the Pound index trading 0.21% higher. However, the second best performing is the US Dollar Index which is trading 0.14% higher. Therefore, investors need to be cautious that a retrace or correction is still possible while the US Dollar Index remains high. Currently the Pound is coming under pressure from the Autumn Budget and from farming strikes which are continuing. However, comments from the Bank of England could support the currency. The BoE warns that planned National Insurance hikes in the Labour budget may drive up prices, slow wage growth, and reduce hiring. Significant inflation could force prolonged tight monetary policy.
