Thanks Martin. YES, it must be the cookies. I
have to delete my temporary files often as they clog up my
computer. So now after I do, I'll redo the Log me in
Automatically again. Maybe I don't have to delete the cookies
as often. I'll play with it. THANKS AGAIN.
One thing that I have noticed is that sometimes Negative
Divergence is clear on one Chart but not clear on another.
(15 Munute vs Daily etc and also Nasdaq versus S & P)
One chart may warn that it could happen on the others. Maybe
that is why we check so many different charts.
Matt: I opened my Stockcharts account and then was able to
view your 15 Minute charts just fine. I'll just remember to
open Stockcharts first from now on. I like the dynamic up the top
for the Nasdaq and S & P and THANKS for making that the latest
one with your comments.
If you subscribe to Stockcharts then you can save all of Matt's
comments on the Dynamic charts as he makes them (which I find a
GREAT tool to learn from)
Someone already told us how to do that but you open the
chart. Click on Annotate. Then UPLOAD to whatever personal
chart list you have saved.
I think it is worth having a Stockcharts membership if you
follow Breakpoint trades (especially if you still have something to
learn about Technical trading - like me)
Matt: I can't thank you enough for educating me to read
the 15 Minute charts of the S & P. I did buy the short
side yesterday and I see that this is usually a several day
situation and NOT just a day trade.
It seems to be one way to get ahead of this crazy market and
just watch the divergence and trade it long or short as it crosses
up over the 20 STOCASTIC or dowm below the 80 SLOW STO.
I am also going to wait to see what happens with DIG instead of
trying to call the exact top. I am finding out that waiting
for the crossover gives us a better chance overall.
Thanks for the SDS info Matt. I actually bought this
morning before I left Reno. (Just a small position)
Now I'll watch for the next leg down. (or up after the
Stockastic goes below 20)
By looking at S & P 15 minute charts, it appears that we can
spot short term reversals, especilly if they have
divergence in the Mac D or the start turning down below 80
Stockastics. (or Up above 20)
I am reading John Murphy's book "Technical Analysis of the
Financial Markets" and it is explaining much of your analysis to
me.
I use the Conditional Trades at Fidelity and can place BOTH a
Stop and Target price and "one cancells the other" as I don't watch
all day and am travelling today.
What works pretty well to see the triggers and volumes is to put
all the watchlist stocks on IBD and they automatically update each
stocks volume relative to its 50 Day.
SNDK and RIO both triggered on higher than average volume so
will hopefully stay above the stop loss. I am still not yet into
full positions as we still don't have a clear trend. BUT I
have been sitting on cash for a long time now and think it is time
to tread back in.
I LOVED the video update and now watch the S & P 5 Minute
charts whan I am online and the Slow Stockastic has turned down
below 80. I would like to use this or something similar as
entry and exit points for QLD and QID.
Doger:Those technical buy
signals are working pretty well on most of the watch list stocks. I
have bought several off the watch list and find it works well if I
just keep raising my stop. What do you guys think about
setting trailing stops and tightening them up after a gain?
Matt: THANKS for
keeping my but SHORT gold. Today was an awesome day! Even with Oil
going up. I was travelling much of the day so look forward to
your Sunday night update.
Since I am a longer term investor,
I would love to consider QLD or QID as you think
them appropriate (for anything over 3 days) I saw your
QLD chart and like it but realize that there may be some short
term pull back after such a strong day today.
Matt: I too would also like to hear about your view on
CLR.
The Fundamentals are amazing. It is also the only stock that I
currently am holding.
If this pattern has a good chance of advancing in a Bull OR Bear
market, it may be worth looking into further. It is clearly
in an UP channel that is not sustainable forever. I am
wondering if you think it might be worth adding to my position
to make some money on it while it lasts. FinaM
Thanks Chart 6. I have the charts on Stockcharts.com also.
I liked your comments on your original chart of CRL.
Matt: I was wondering if you think it is too late to ad to
this position? The RSI is at around 70 but I still think that
it could have a way to go yet. My main concern is that if Oil
is getting toppy that it could break down fairly hard as it has
already had a good run up. Thanks FinaM

Is there a way that your programmer can over write the most recent comments on these charts?
Then we would just need to click on them and get your most recent comments each time.
