Very nice pop in ISIS today.

Position was triggered yesterday, and you should've stayed in even though it looked like it might be a false breakout.

Thanks Cobra!

I think he mean to refresh the forum.
Oh I did that yesterday. It's nice to have it auto-refresh. :D
Autorefreshing it's for stockcharts, to keep Cobra in top. The Top Public ChartLists is calculated based on followers (stockcharts members following a particular public chartbook) and votes (nonmembers refreshing a chartbook). As cobras is not no 1 (although we know the opposite), it's the best we can do (those of us who are not members of stockcharts), to keep refreshing his charts to reclaim his spot.

ORLY? Why? Based on what cobra said yesterday, falling back within range and closing nowhere near highs? When it works it's GREAT, but I point you to DK.. would you have stayed in?

Long.

My composite trend signal is up.
My summation index signal flips to down if Wednesday's low is broken.

I am planning to do nothing.
However, if Wednesday's low is broken, I may take defensive measures.

Oh, yeah. the risker the more profit. In ISIS case, I'd keep just a little to ride the trend yesterday, so may still get something. But overall, maybe you're right, hold is a better solution.

In fact, arguably DK looked like an even stronger candidate on the 11th..

Looks like mixed results to me (looking at the entire rest of the day not just the close).

man. . .coffee already.

lets see we had bad cat and fed ex earnings indicating overall bad global econ and likely sort of lame earnings coming while priced to perfection. we had this despite the fed bond buying (oh wait that is usa only right?) now we have ECB saying no more money as of monday unless you dudes can cut a deal by (1) raiding the pension funds. (2) getting the local chruch to hock it's properties (still very impressed by this) to create bonds and then buy part of the bonds back. (3) the russian mob "influencing" russian goverment to show mercy (??!!) and (4) back to the well only 2-5% ripped from bank deposits.

so in theory cyprus has to go one way or the other by monday--if they make it--it proves everything is totally great. if they fail the euro dudes and usa "balance" the markets.

so does nothing count except the end of the quarter and retirement money--after a few fraidy-cats bail? or does something finally make a difference.

In fact, arguably DK looked like an even stronger candidate on the 11th..
DK was a loss. I was entered into DK at 11 on 3/11, and stopped out at 11 on 3/12 for a loss of 3.82%.

There's nothing subjective to this, when the trigger price is hit, I'm entered. I then place a stop loss value that I determine (Cobra's strategy is to put in a stop loss just below the bottom of the breakout range - which is totally valid, but I prefer a tighter stop).

ISIS was triggered yesterday, but fell back into the range. I don't tweak the trade though, once the price has been triggered, I'm in it until it hits my stop, or hits a version of my target price. I've taken half of ISIS off up 9%.

Even if we have 2-3 DK-like trades, I should still be even or a little up because hopefully I get 1 ISIS-like trade. That's why the risk/reward ratio in my opinion is an important factor in this breakout strategy.

Two weeks ago I was triggered into 8 of 9 picks. Of the 8 I was triggered into, 2 were stopped out at a loss of 1.2 and 2.63% respectively. I also had to reenter one after being stopped out of the initial trigger.

I progressively closed out portions and then all of the positions from week 1, so my returns are as follows:

AC.B (Air Canada) - +9.27%
ARMH - (1.2%)
CYH - +5.05%
HRB - net 9.67% after a (1.47) stop loss initially
KKD - +7.46%
NXPI - DID NOT TRIGGER
PSX - (2.63%) - sucks because this thing was up, and then hit my stop loss, and then is back up
SNTS - +20.65%
SVU - +12.24%

Thank you. I offer people free money, but not many people seem to care. :mrgreen: It requires a little skill to trade of course. The broad market is bull friendly too.

daily chart
Pink line is 5ema for demarcation of very short term trend (above ma = long; below ma = short)
Some use 3ema, some 5sma
Whatever u use, notice this is only the second time (?) since last June’s low that spy couldn’t hold a trend for more than one day (see blue boxes)
Maybe something …. not sure…..very jumpy mkt… today’s close is quite important?
