    Currently still in buy the dips mode maybe next week we see a change of structure

    Unless markets reacts to some news in a negative manner and stays with it, how can we sell off? We shrugged off high CPI/PPI and rate cuts have been postponed and we still rallied. Financials are making new highs too. Maybe we wont see selling until rate cuts start.

    yeah I mean the wave structure supported another move higher wave 4, we had 3 waves down only. You need to see a break in market structure which we have not had to end the trend at hand

    I just don't like the notion of the market can't do down and is only going to go up because of yada yada because it causes complacency, people check out, don't set stops, get fat like pigs who get slaughtered later on, then of course have no stops or plan when things do change, and they always eventually do. 

    again just keep it simple, stick to your discipline, follow the trend, follow the market structure, and adhere to your plan, the plan can't be I don't need a plan because things will always go up

    Matt on the KISS EBAY

    Matt on the KISS EBAY went long what dose the vertical dotted line mean?

    EBAY maybe not so bad

    EBAY maybe not so bad this time. At least got a pop

    Here are the rules of

    Here are the rules of KISS STS to live by

    • Rule 1: There is no KISS system (Tyler Durden)

      Rule 2: Check at least 2 or 3 years back to see how the STS KISS system worked on that equity, for instance, GDX doesnt work, EBAY was indicated as  long today with STS, but its a dog too, see chart.

      Rule 3, check when earning is.   If too close, its a gamble, I prefer not to gamble, EBAY earning is Feb 27th

      Rule 4.   There will be a vertical dashed line put on the chart, but not the same day a long is issued, probably the next day.   

      Rule 5.  A light blue line will be placed on the chart at the termination of the trade, which will always be a stop out, Upward slope means it was a profit, downward slope means it was a loss.

      Rule 6: The high performance STS is not yet active.   It will operate on multiple intraday time-frames, allowing trades to close during the day.

      Rule 7: email alerts are sent out after close of market, most Symbols will not be buyable that day as market is closed.   Strategy is to buy at market open, unless something bat sheet crazy is occurring. 

      Rule 8: Me loves a bull market, who doesn't?  Only Tim Knight the Bear.

    OK Thanks for the rules

    OK Thanks for the rules to live BY.

    That means that it went long, LOL.   It doesn't appear immediately, nto sure if Matt has to put it in manually, or if automatic but delayed into the next day.    A's mean amateur hour.

    I have the A's on my charts. I was starting to get my ass handed to me using it to spot tops...until I started looking for A's at tops to tip me off to look for continuation moves. 

    You could make an argument

    Posted by DigiNomad on 22nd of Feb 2024 at 01:14 pm

    You could make an argument that that plan works perfectly well through history as long as you have the Fed and congress inflating every asset on earth.  It's the other side, the academic side that assumes someday the Gov will have to stop inflating everything to get out of bit of trouble we find ourselves in, that is really taking fire.  People literally cheer asset price inflation because they are clueless to the effect on their purchasing power....so why would the Fed and Congress change course?  They probably won't.  If they don't change course, you can buy and watch the asset inflation simply play out.

    Since this is a TA forum....here's the chart that supports the above thesis

    Who is the probably the largest customer for each of the Mag 6 (and TSLA)? The Fed Gov...and it's probably not close to their second largest customer.  CHIPS act just threw lighter fluid on the fire.

    Break in structure needs a trigger ( usually some event related)... I meant the same thing as you maybe it wasn't clear . Trend is up and we ride it until it changes. No one can time the top. That said historically bull markets win (not saying we should be ignorant/complacent)... 

    Matt  Thanks.

    Matt  Thanks.
