I think OUR choice is based on what OUR individual
investment style is (short term Day Trader) or longer term
trader. Many folks CHOOSE to use the Beepner for an early buy
signal as they are shorter term traders. I am a longer term
trader and I will wait for the cross below the 70% (as we have been
instructed to do if we want to follow the system for ALL 3 buy
signals to be positive) I am OK to miss a bit of a trade at
the VERY TOP and catch most of the move one way or the other and
keep it a longer time. I LIKE THESE CHOICES. I also like it
when Matt points out that something is a Daytrade or short trade
idea as I USUALLY just skip over them. I am really
looking forward to the longer term section on the Blog or
watchlist. (or maybe BOTH) FinaM
Trader 2. If you change the RSI to ROC, you can see the
divergence better. I persoanlly like this better for spotting
divergence on the daily charts. Try back testing it on some
chaarts going back 6 months and you will see how well it works at
spotting turning points. This also works very well on DUG
right now. (Indicating an UP move) FinaM
Ameritrader: If you are looking for EPS or Price
reutrn you can search in IBD. They have a premium service
which I subscribe to that allows you to create custom stock earches
based on whatever criteria your are looking for.
If you let me know (exactly) what your criteria is, I'll try to
search it for you. FinaM
For those of you who have Stockcharts, you might like to check
out the Public area under Brian P Benda. The last chart on
page 3 is projecting the next low around June 24 to 26. (FOMC
meeting) He was pretty accurate at the last top. I guess
we will see. FinaM
Obviously, I need to work on my link connection
abilities.
This time I checked the box that said to check to display link
only and maybe it will go through. If some of you have an idea
of what I am doing wrong let me know. FinaM
If this does not work, just go to Stockcharts and set up a bar
chart and use the ROC 12 as your overlay. Then you will see
the negative divergence that was evident yesterday.
This is my first time
to post a chart. I hope it works. I copied from
Stockcharts. For you longer term traders, if you look at the
ROC (12) you can see negative divergence on the DAILY charts for
$COMPQ, $RUT, and $SPX. John Murphy also commented on
this last night. FinaM
Thanks Matt for getting back to me. I often find out that
when I start to make a LOT of money, it is time to watch out!
Just being cuatious now and am fine to hold some cash for a while
and let things cool down. I'll just watch your nightly updates.
Matt: Do you think this pullback will affect the daily
charts? (it looks pretty sharp) I sold my QLD and the SOLAR's just
to be safe and I made a TON of money on them and can buy back later
after they take a nap. (I don't sound like such a long
term traader anymore but there is nothing wrong with taking
profits) FinaM
Matt: I made 17% on SNDK then tightened up my stop loss to
a 2% trailing stop and am QUITE happy to have been stopped out
today. Nothing wrong with getting ahead and taking profits
after a good gain. I will often do a 2% trailing stop after a
15% gain and it seems to work well on some of your watchlist stocks
too.
I am not sure what is going on with YGE but it has some
good potential if this sentate passes on the SOLAR tax relief
bill so I am hanging on to YGE and the daily RENKO is still on
a buy signal. (helped me hang on over the last 2 days)
Earnings were good so I am not sure why it dropped other than
it may just be taking a rest.
I am also holding SOLF and CSIQ and both of these are up over
30% in the last week since I bought them. I do feel that
SOLAR's will continue to take off if this bill passes. I am not yet
ready to do a trailing stop on these. (but will watch your wording
above the YGE chart next time you post)
Fatboy: I found the best way to start is to copy some
dynamic charts that you see on the blog and insert different ticker
symbols. Also watch the watchlist stocks in your own
favorites list in Stockcharts. You will learn a lot that
way.
Notice that the shorter term charts change direction much more
often than the longer term ones. I perfer to use the longer
term ones and mostly follow the daily RENKO charts.
Be patient and don't fight the trend (unless the trend changes
but I have found that it is better to wait until it changes than to
try to predict it) Most of us have lost money by tryging to predict
a change. Hope this helps. FinaM
I bought my first position in CSIQ yesterday. (I think
that most SOLAR's should do well this year) Did not know about the
earnings so will ad to it as it goes up. Also looking at YGE
when it gets above it's most recent high. I have a buy point
of $24.64.
Matt: If you get time tonight, could you please take a
look at the On Balance Volume for the Nasdaq? Or the ROC or
RSI. It may be declining. Do see any divergence in the
weekly or daily charts?
It seems to me that whenever I start to make this much money,
something often happens to upset my apple cart (or Nasdaq cart as I
have most of my IRA in Nasdaq - but I keep it there for a
longer term trade and don't worry about a day or several days
down)
So far both the daily and 60 Minute Renko NDX charts
look good. THANKS, FinaM
