Steve, I have a request

    Posted by sbwoman on 27th of Nov 2013 at 02:10 pm

    I have taken the tutorial, and would really appreciate it if when you review the trades in the nightly newsletters, rather than saying that "people who haven't, need to take a tutorial to understand the targets and triggers", that you could say what the targets might be. I know I would certainly benefit from any reiteration of what we learn in the tutorials, and hope that others might agree. I find repetition of concepts very helpful.

    Happy Thanksgiving to you all! And Happy Hanukah too.

    We are considering a student

    Posted by steve on 27th of Nov 2013 at 02:19 pm

    We are considering a student section next year that will provide setups, triggers, stops, targets, etc.  relating to tutorial type setups.

    In the meantime, if you have a specific stock, etc just send me an email or private message and I would be happy to answer since I'm not sure as to what you're referencing as I haven't really discussed many such specific setups.  

    Oh, no separate sections please.

    Oh, no separate sections please. I hate those for all sorts of reasons, and you don't get to have the full BPT community. Maybe you could just put an asterisk on any trade ideas that might require a tutorial to fully understand. There are all sorts of trade ideas that are discussed and reviewed on the website that I would hate to miss out on by being in a section that is only doing the "big candle" trade technique. Maybe you could have a link for the people that haven't taken the tutorial to watch one of the webinars if they are interested in learning it. They will understand that it is a 4 hour commitment. 

    Sara - First of all,

    Sara - First of all, the tutorial discussed much more that simply a big candle so I suggest you review your notes. A section to share setups (not necessarily for much discussion) as the setup parameters (trigger price, stops, targets) will be written down ahead of time and adjusted with price movement.  You would select such setups in accordance with your style and objectives in conjunction with the guidance we would provide. Thus, you won't miss out on anything and it's not wise to run out and buy something posted on blog without taking some time to examine and make sure it coincides with your objectives. 

    In addition, Matt and I plan to do a webinar relating to various trade setups (flags, breakouts, bounce plays, wedges, etc. including setting up your own watchlist and alerts properly. The goal would be to provide tips or suggestions relating to trading the setups. 

    This sounds promising indeed. Categories and attributes of/for trades can help a member to sort easily for something suited to his/her specific needs and preferences. Good idea Steve.

    Steve, I know the tutorial

    Steve, I know the tutorial discusses so much more than a "big candle", but since it seems to start with that, thats what I call it. I know it involves the RSIs, and included symmetry, the moving averages, establishing price targets, and seeing patterns, and so much more. That's why I thought is might be helpful to continue to reiterate these concepts that we have learned as often as possible. There are so many little things that you guys see that would be nice to be pointed out, and reminded of. 

    I like the idea of including trigger price, targets and stops, but why would it need to be in a separate section. Maybe it could it be incorporated into the trade ideas section?

    Great idea!  It would help

    Great idea!  It would help me for sure.

    New section on set ups

    Posted by sonofrebel on 27th of Nov 2013 at 08:17 pm

    I vote against a separate section - prefer  to have it in one stream.

    I agree Sara...I will continue

    Posted by steve on 27th of Nov 2013 at 04:00 pm

    I agree Sara...I will continue to try my best as part of continuing the education process. Thanks.

    And thank YOU for continuing

    Posted by sbwoman on 27th of Nov 2013 at 04:14 pm

    And thank YOU for continuing to educate us. 

    Ditto that. The triggers on

    Ditto that. The triggers on the charts would be nice combined with a target.

    Creates no issues, as it is not personalized nor is it any recommendation. Just a setup to review and consider.

    Great idea!  Smile

    I agree sbwoman, that would

    I agree sbwoman, that would be most helpful and reiteration and repetition are key concepts in any learning process.
