Hi Richard;

The DOw appears to be in a minor degree inverted impulse wave 4 of a 5 wave pattern.  I also believe it is in a major degree wave 4 of 5 also.  I expect a completition this week or early next week then a rally into late August or early Sept.

Good Luck.

Hello,

My name is Richard, I have read Frost and Pretcher's Elliot Wave
Principles but feel that the theory is difficult to apply. I am trying
to work out where the Dow Jones is in the Elliot wave Pattern and would
like to know if any body has an opinion about this.

Thanks

Richard.

Hi Joy,

First of all count the stars in the night sky. That is about the
number of ways you can try to analyse the market.

The target price is `as far as it runs'. Let the profit run and kill
the losses quick. Think about position sizing. If you bet too much
you might not be in the game very long!

Trying to predict the price direction is a mugs game. Be reactive! I
use 3 tools in conjunction:

1. Equivolume boxes because volume and price are both important.
2. 3 Line Breaks because this is strictly a reactive trend indicator.
3. Darvas Boxes because they define the scope of a trend in a very
visual way.

In addition I use either the Darvas Box or the Parabolic SAR to set
stops and manage my exit strategy.

It means I am never in at the beginning and I am never out at the
peak. I know I lose a few points, but I cover most of a move.

The final and most impotant element is money management or deciding
on a position size. Never exceed 2% of capital on a position.

Graham

Any TA expert ?
According to bks I read, when adx is below both +dmi & -dmi it is a
good time to buy.
However,even though later +dmi > -dmi,and the adx meanders at a low
level below 20,the stocks would not fly.
So what is the best time to buy (adx at what level when+dmi > -dmi)
And what & when is the best time to short a stock taking note of these
3 indicators

Hello everyone, I'm new to the group and new to trading. (Just
learning and havent done any real trades yet)

I like the theory behind Rule#1 investing, and find what I like most
is the calculating and watching charts etc. But, what Id like to learn
is how to use these tools for short-term investing. All the numbers
and ratios etc that I now know to look at.. are all more relevant for
long-term/retirement/value. (like the value parts though)

So, my question.. any tips on where to start? There are so many books
I get confused just trying to pick one. Looking for ways to analyze
stocks for short term and then follow charts etc to know when to buy
and sell.

Thanks in advance,
Melonie

I have been trading/investing for 8 years. I use technical and
fundamental analysis. I currently am short many of the large
homebuilders in the u.s. such as tol, ctx, hov, bzh, etc.

I use simple moving averages a bit combined with support/resistance
levels to determine movemnt potential. I also believe chart patterns
are very useful in analyzing possible movements.

I follow some of the well-known traders of of time such as Jim
Rogers, George Soros, etc.. I do not daytrade but try to hold
positions for at least several weeks to much longer.  I guess this
would be called positional trading on fundamentals/technicals.
Actually, both are very useful and I have used both in taking both
long and short positions.

That about sums it up. Investing is an interesting/challenging
pursuit. It also requires a knowledge your own psychological
strengths and weaknesses since these can shake a person's belief in
their trades/ideas.

Good luck in your trading.

read some books, BACKTEST EVERYTHING, look if you could trade with
that drawdown and then you can begin trading ( perhaps ! )
if the book gives backtesting results, perform your own backtesting
anyway

Greetings,

My name is David and I am a beginner trader and have
been trading off and on for the last 3 years. I favor
technical analysis over fundamental analysis and my
two favorite indicators are price and volume. I have
read William O' Neils books and like the CANSLIM
system but do not follow it closely. I am hoping to
learn more about technical analysis from this
newsgroup. I look forward to discussing money making
strategies with all of you. Have a most super
excellent day or evening.

Sincerely,

Don't short this stock---it has too short a history to draw any good
conclusions and there is no overwhelming evidence to support a short
position.

Short some of the big homebuilders like CTX, TOL, RYL, BZH.  Still
at least 50% downside there.

I am new to trading, still learning the ins and outs of technical analysis.
I'm interested in short-term trading, a combo of swing and position trading,
I believe.  Right now I'm learning to read the charts and make some basic
predictions, mostly using MA's (20,40, 50 and 200-day), bollinger bands,
RSI, OBV, volume and candlesticks.  As I get more comfortable with those and
see how well they work for me, I'll start looking at some more
indicators/oscillators and getting familiar with them.  (I don't plan to use
every one that's out there, I'm just trying to learn about each one and
develop my own criteria).

I'm a very impatient student, though - I want to know it all, and I want to
know it now, so I'm reading more every chance I get (I have a new baby,
however, so I never have as much time as I'd like).  I don't have any
financial education, but am never afraid to teach myself something new.  I
have a good friend who is also very interested in trading and is currently
pursuing his CPA, but right now his school work has all his extra time tied
up.  So I'm out here alone, looking for some other traders, new and/or
experienced, to connect with and who would like to talk about real-time,
hands-on tech analysis.  I've got a list of 5-10 stocks I'm watching charts
on, but am coming across questions that I can't find answers to, and would
like to find either a mentor or a group like this where I can post my
findings and get some feedback as to what I'm looking at and possibly what
caused those things.

The group has been quiet lately, I see, but I hope it will pick up.  I look
forward to talking with all of you!

I only trade options, because of the volatility every day AND also, I can trade both side (call when it go up and put when in go down).
 
My last best trades were:  Rimm, VLO, SU,MRO,WAG,
 
I would like to share my experience and learn from experience daytrader like you guys.

Get a used copy of the "market wizards" book by Jack Schwager and
read that book(jim rogers interview, Michael Marcus interview,
etc.).  Prepare yourself to be challenged---when your kid takes a
nap you can really delve into it, I guess.   This is very challnging
and don't day trade until you have a lot of experience.  One of my
favorite Mutual funds is PSPFX---oil and gold are 2 of my big
holdings.  Good luck and do some reading----until later.
