Also once we are familiar with these concepts, we are...

This is a quick chart reading for MSFT that shows a possible scenario for calendar Q1 2022 using the weekly chart - The key assumption here is that MSFT will continue to maintain the same ascending channel that's in place for the last 3-4 years (excluding the COVID effect between Feb-April 2020) - there are 3 price levels to note: $330, $345 and $375 -- Target...

A fellow trader alerted me that my previous AAPL chart reading is too unreadable :) - so here's a fresh, cleaner chart reading showing only the price chart - no complex indicators - using the weekly view and marking what i will be closely watching in the next 3 months - and possibly a trading scenario (long) - this scenario is still inline with the previous one .....

Our previous chart reading for AAPL was a good one - we hit the buy zone, 2 projected target price levels, and sold on target. when this happens with a chart reading and a trading plan, it's awesome !! although the over-bought condition extended and tried people (buyers) patience (and FOMO) i'll link the previous chart reading below for review if needed if AAPL...

Recently I posted updates to both my Strength of Move (SoM) and the Trader Pressure Index (TPX) indicators as promised, i'm sharing this post to share how i use both of these indicators together as i trade, and how they act differently but complement each other. Please note that these are only my own (humble) thoughts, based on how i thought about and designed...

* this is a pure chart reading (analysis) for NKLA and expected scenarios based on price and volume action and what the indicators tell us - has nothing to do with the fundamentals or how the business itself is doing. Daily Chart: - NKLA has accelerated in the past few days with (couple of days showing) large % moves supported by big volume (almost 2x daily...

I love AAPL. Many of us do. Been a while since I posted a chart reading for AAPL .. maybe since the split ? here's a quick chart reading for AAPL using the 1wk view (apologies for the crowded chart - i wanted to show all recent price channels as well as the target zones) * A new price channel is forming. that's initially a good sign. * If that channel remains...

solid earnings for MSFT - the market reacted in a neutral to slightly-negative way - possibly because MSFT was already at the top of its established price range / channel and there was no big "WOW's" in the earnings .. other than a continuation of a "strong business story" - that the market didn't find extra exciting. but that "rotation" is actually a good thing...

Today was bloody with NASDAQ down 2.7% -- these are the days i don't want to look at the charts (or my broker account screen!) Chart Reading: -------------------- - the chart shows that this is still not the end of the down move or the short-term weakness - on the contrary, the channel has just been breached to the downside. - the projected measured move shows...

Quick Intro =========== Regardless of what type of trader we are, most of us will look at the same chart in different timeframes to help make the "case for a trade". The risk of doing so is that we need to understand the fundamental concept of Multi-Timeframe Scaling (let's call it MTF scaling) as we inspect the various timeframe charts of the same underlying,...

new CEO delivered a very interesting, positive and optimistic update - featuring CEOs of MSFT and IBM - and announcing new intel foundry service and new fabs -- and re-assuring product roadmap for the next 2 years. the market reacted with almost a >7% move (as of this writing) even before the "Intel Unleashed" event is finished! do we expect a strong run from...

i recently published the Strength of Movement indicator - Wanted to take a minute to share an example of the setups i'm trying to explore with that indicator. here's the direct link as i mentioned, for a position trader watching a specific set of stocks, the opportunity to catch and ride a "quality trend" occur few times a year, maybe as few as 2 or 3 times -...

Great chart here for INTC - bouncing off nicely from the $60 level and breaking smoothly (and with strong momentum as shown by the UTO) thru the supply/demand "balance line" at $61.5 .. we hope to see a continuation of the move up - to be confirmed by a breakout of resistance at $63.5 - maybe today or tomorrow.. Price projection: this was a measured move of $16...

I sold the Feb 12 Call option with strike $65 for TWTR yesterday for $2.20 Why ? how is this a good trade? i believe selling CC into earnings is one of the lowest risk trades - it's a great weapon to add to your...
