Ravun's Dow M pattern

Posted by fran on 29th of May 2009 at 06:49 pm

Ravun -   The Dow closed today right at your target for the 3rd leg of your M pattern.  The Dow high exceeded the target slightly, but closed right on it.  Will be interesting next week to see if it completes the pattern down to 8150.  Link to your video:

Dodger - Oil Timing High

Crude Oil

Posted by fran on 18th of May 2009 at 07:05 pm

Dodger -  you mentioned a possible oil timing high May 14 - May 16.  The oil timing low you gave for Feb 16 worked very well, oil bottomed 2 days later.  Has anything changed for the oil timing high?  I understand it is based on fibonacci clusters by adding number of trading days to various time frames.  Or do we just need to see how/if this develops?   Various analysts on Bloomberg are saying there is no fundamental reason for oil to be this high, that it is just following the rest of the market up and down.  They expect oil to drop back to 50 sometime in the near term. 

Thanks, fran

Stockcharts pricing question

Posted by fran on 1st of May 2009 at 11:21 am

timrey - I have the Basic Stockcharts.com service.  Prices went up recently.  I buy 12 months at a time for the discount.  My cost to add Extra! Charting would be an additional $10 per month, so that would e $24.95 per month.

You can see Matt's charts with the Basic subscription.  Charts for the indexes are displayed in realtime, but there is a 15-minute or so delay for stocks.


With the Basic subscription you are limited to 5 days for intraday charts.  But you can view intraday charts with longer number of days that Matt's posts as long as you continue to click "update" and do not enter a ticker symbol.  But there is still a 15-min delay for stocks.

With your Basic subscription you can also get a free subscription to QuoteTracker.com, real time data and can display up to 19 days.

Sorry, I don't know why my post printed out like that.  Can't seem to correct it.

A  Google search on the author and title brings up the following link to the entire book.  Can scroll to page 75.  Good reading.  Essentially, for a trend reversal need to see 3 things"  (1)  break trendline;  (2)  failure to take out new high"  (3)  breaks previous minor low.  Chart examples are given.

Also says get out immediately if trade turns against you, if breaks new high immediately sell all shorts.  If fails, then can always short again, more important to get out.

Posted by fran on 17th of Mar 2009 at 02:38 pm

I have a Basic stockcharts.com subscription and do get intraday charts.  W hen I enter a ticker symbol on a chart I can only see up to 5 days intraday.  But if I click on Matt's or dodger's charts on the blog, I will see the full chart they display.  As long as I continue to click "Update" and do not enter a ticker symbol, I continue to see the full number of days they entered on their charts.
 
I also do not get real-time charts with my stockcharts subscription.  But do have a free subscription through my TDAmeritade account to QuoteTracker for real-time data.

USO to change rollover from 1 day to 4 days

Posted by fran on 27th of Feb 2009 at 01:03 pm

 

CFTC probes USO on February roll


On Feb. 6, March oil futures, the front-month contract at the time, lost more than 2% in trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange as USO rolled its holdings into the April oil contract. Prices in the March contract slid below $40 a barrel in the next trading session for the first time in three weeks.
 
When the front-month contract expires, USO has to move to the next-month contract by selling the expiring one and buying the next one.   USO had been doing the roll-over in just one day, a challenge for the fund to move such a big holding in one single trading session. The ETF said recently it will change its procedure and use four days for the roll-over.
