A trade from Dan...

To contact us Click HERE
As noted in the previous post, I am taking a few days off to enjoy Spring so I am behind on looking through comments. Here is a trade and question from Dan on Thursday:

"I traded EBAY on a 15-minute chart, Fibonacci lines over the first three bars. I entered on a break of the third bar high, and sold at the Fibonacci extension. The only red flag was the bar was a bit far away from the 5 and 8EMAs, so I am not sure if that meant most would pass on it. The price action of the first three bars was strong, though, so I thought the risk worthwhile. I appreciate any feedback."

I'm taking time off to enjoy the Spring. Here is a trade from Chris, and I'll see you guys (maybe) next week!

"BHI was a gap up. 15-minute chart, Fibonacci lines over the first three bars opening range. I didn't like the high tail on the third bar, but the trigger bar (5th bar) filled it in as it was a strong, green bar. I entered on a break of that bar's high and exited at the Fibonacci extension. What I call a classic X trade, though it may not meet your strict definition."

In the comments of the previous post, there is good analysis of trades in the following ADM chart, including discussion on targets, when to exit, and second entries. There are also many additional trades discussed - I will let you pull those charts up on your own.

Here is the ADM chart - refer to the comments of the previous post for analysis.



I am still enjoying Spring, so posting will be sparse for a while. But that should not keep you from going through, and participating in, the comments section!

Mid-week madness

Thank you to everyone posting trades and analysis in comments. Just a reminder, please include the symbol, the day of the trade, the timeframe, where you plotted your Fibonacci lines (if applicable), indicators used (for example, moving averages, candlestick patterns, trendlines), where your entry was ("a break of the X bar high/low") and where your exited. And, of course, your reasons for taking the trade as well as any comments or questions.

I've had to omit some comments recently because they lacked a lot of this information, making it impossible for anyone to reference the proper chart.

Thanks, and I'll try to highlight some trades from comments tomorrow or Friday.

LBTYA - 051812

Friday's trade brought to you by Warren:

"Shorted LBTYA on a break of the 13th bar. It was a nice pattern that gapped down, pulled back, and then broke back through the previous low of the morning. The trigger bar closed below the morning low, had a long upper tail, and resistance from the 8EMA. Covered at the Fibonacci extension at the end of the day. 15-minute chart, Fibonacci lines over the first 30-minutes range."

Blues and the Music of Aging?

To contact us Click HERE


After listening to the blues channel a bit this morning, I'm starting to think that's where you go if you want to research the poetry of aging. Bettye Lavette's "Talking Old Soldiers," for instance, is a brooding piece about a forgotten man whose friends are all buried now at the local graveyard. I also heard James Armstrong's "Blues at the Border" in which there are the lines "You see the world has changed. We got blues at the border."

I say that the blues may be the music of aging, but with the caveat that both these songs are by baby boomers. The blues covers all kinds of misery and joy, and in aging, just as in other life experiences, there's both. And as I close this, I hear Joe Hinton singing the classic, "Funny," also known as "Ain't It Funny How Time Slips Away."

Michael Clarke Duncan Passes Away at 54

To contact us Click HERE

Via Morris Chestnut's Facebook page, I just learned of actor Michael Clarke Duncan's death. I have not been watching news much lately, so I did not hear of it sooner.

Chestnut said in his FB post, "RIP to Michael Clarke Duncan. A man with a tremendous spirit and great talent. It was an honor to have known you. You will be surely missed my brotha!"

I never saw Duncan in person, but whenever I saw him on screen I always had that feeling that he had a beautiful spirit. This news shocked me because to die at age 54 is to die too soon, and he always seemed so healthy and content. I even watched Fox's show The Finder a few times just to see him. He was a fine actor with a great voice.

According to CNN, Duncan, who was nominated for an Oscar in for his performance in The Green Mile, never fully recovered from a "myocardial infarction" he suffered earlier this summer.
