Cool book, first time I've had a chance to look at it.
Thanks for posting it earlier this month.
GDX has had the requisite number of touches on each border (at
least 2; it's got 3). The volume pattern has some peaks but
overall looks slightly downtrending, suggesting a downside break.
Bulkowski warns, though, that volume only correlates to
breakout direction a bit more than 50% of the time, so it's
only suggestive.
One thing to note is it's a 15 min chart, so the move will not
be anything like the daily charts Bulkowski shows as examples.
frytaylor- Nice
that you had to the time to finally take a look at that book
I bought a physical copy back in 2002, but nice that you can
just view it for free now. It's a little dated now, however I
think it's worth someone to read it because you will have a much
better understand of patterns and TA, and it's free. Also, a
lot of people tend to draw patterns too loosely, such as a couple
trendlines that look sort of like a ascending triangle and then
calling it that, even though it doesn't meet the definition of a
true ascending triangle. In my experience this is VERY
common, too many people are too loose in defining
patterns.
His updated version you have to buy of course and it's like 700
pages, which is just massive, really is an encyclopedia. I
don't not personally read that book however, though I wouldn't mind
having it on my desk as a reference to look something up.
Bulkowski's books can be kind of dry reading for most people
because they read like a dictionary/encyclopedia or a math book;
i.e. here's the facts, here'st he results, and here's the
conclusions, there are no trade stories or other filler material to
make it flow more like other books
