is that enough to be considered a trigger? Sure looks like
one, but I don't know what to make of the Maundy Thursday stats. I
was hoping that would take is to SPX 2060, then out. Not sure we'll
make it. Any opinions welcome!
mdgfain - AND
OTHERS,you may not be away of the 'view recent alarms' on
the left hand side, click on that URL, and you can click on any
chart and see the alarm price trigger and original chart, here's
some images on TZA for example
TZA trigger was much lower (see watchlist). C'mon man as I
don't want to see you guys chasing when the trigger was clearly
stated much eariler. I view the leveraged ETF as trading
instruments so raise stops and/or take some profits.
Steve, sorry I missed TZA on the watch list. I am not a day
trader, more of a swing or longer teEM trader. I listen to your
newsletters every day and I read the blog and I'm trying to learn.
I'm still not as good as I want to be, but I smell an important
top. Just because I dipped my toe in the pond, no need to squash me
like a bug.
Answer: No problem but give me a call
to discuss so that we can avoid any confusion and help work out a
trading plan that works with your time frames. I sent you a private
message on your inbox with my number.
mdgfain - he's not trying to squash you LOL or disrespect you,
he was probably just taken back a little because it triggered early
this morning per his chart setup. The problem is we could go
into a whole discussion here but not really the time intra day to
do it. Trading takes time, folks fairly new at it or still
trying to get their feel, personal risk tolerance, their
goals/objectives will take time.
Most folks are not day traders, as someone looking for a swing
type position, lot of ways to look at things, the market was at
resistance and had some wedge patterns in place. Maybe the
wedges only produce a bounce then we get another pullback to form a
better divergence who knows. a swing position trader might
look to scale in or set a wider stop, or a swing trader might still
be holding quite a few long positions and not wanting to unload
those positions, but wants to hedge those with some inverse ETF's.
That's why there's no one answer to all this without having a
discussion of what you own, what you don't own. Anyway not
the time to go into that now, the inverse ETF's provided at least a
trade so far, triggers would have been earlier on those, we'll have
to see how those develop.
trading takes time to master, not just from a technical
standpoint, but from an emotional one and knowing oneself, being
patient, waiting for opportunities to setup, and risk management.
Everyone is on a different path and journey in this respect.
Best thing folks can do is study, look at tons of charts over
time. The folks who write into us and tell me they don't
listen to the newsletters because they are too long, well those are
the folks who will never succeed because they don't put in the
time. It's like playing a sport like golf, etc, you have to
put in the time, and there will be trials and tribulations along
the way, persistence is key.
mdgfain..that's why I have discussed RWM many times for swing
traders as you know. Please feel free to reach out to me and
to discuss a plan that will work with your preferences. I'm
more that willing to help but it's best to discuss as each member
has different styles. There is not one solution for all. Our
watchlist is a guide that can be tailored. In addition, the
tutorials go into detail what is considered to be a valid trigger,
especially for swing traders.
