not a turnkey type trading platform, especially on desktop. i have 34 inch monitor that splits to show multiple windows, but tradestation set to occupy whole screen. to add to difficulty, going to learning section to learn how to navigate requires you to log out of ts and log in under learning/ education. cannot run learn and tradestation platform at the same time to apply set up instructions. customer support only open mon- fri 8am to 5 pm. i work nights so useless to me. ts set up as windows system with file, edit, etc tools on top left, but some how have lost access to those icons. only thing that shows is trade bar- no holding, queded trades, or research, grafts etc at all. i am sure i did something incorrect while trying to set up my workstation but no access to anything, no reset to original format, no customer support, even chatbot useless. also, i am a active trader but trying to place more than 3 buy orders not allowed, system identifies you as a "day trader pattern" and cancels any further orders. if you buy a stock and set sell limits on the same day, if one sells on same day will restrict your acct for 9 MONTHS!!!! probably great for someone with a computer science degree, but i need full functionality from the start AND THEN THE ABILITY TO CUSTOMIZE. tradestation expects you to design your homepage yourself. i intend to allow my current trades to limit or stop loss out then have my funds returned to my acct and try a new broker. not at all for anyone not computer skilled. even the questions when you try to close out a session queries 5 options, no to all, no to one, yes to all, yes to one, but no explanation as to what is reccomended or the result of any of the selections. i found it most irritating that you could not be logged into learning lessons and the tradestation platform so that you could apply what they are teaching you at the same time. recommendation to tradestation- expand customer service hours- even people who work 9-5 m-f cannot you yo

MongoDB Has Pulled Back

MDB: MongoDB Has Pulled Back

MongoDB almost tripled between November 2022 and November 2023. Now some trend followers may see opportunity in its latest pullback. The first pattern on today’s chart is the falling trendline along the peaks of July and September. The software company broke it about a month ago and is now probing the line from above. Will old resistance become new support? The...

META: Meta May Have More Upside

Meta Platforms has moved sideways since the summer, but traders may now expect more upside. The first pattern on today’s chart is the 50-day simple moving average (SMA), which META broke as it started rallying a year ago. Prices remained above the SMA through August, followed by a period of consolidation on either side of it through late October. The social media...

AMGN: Ascending Triangle in Amgen?

Amgen has been stuck at its current price area for almost 3-1/2 years, but now some traders may expect its longer-term uptrend to resume. The first pattern on today’s chart is the $255-260 price zone. It roughly matches peaks in the summer of 2020, the spring of 2021 and the spring of 2022. AMGN ripped through it late last year, pulled back and stalled at the...

TSLA: Potential Downtrend in Tesla

Tesla has struggled for months, and traders may expect another push to the downside. The main pattern on today’s chart is the series of lower highs and lower lows since July 19. The EV maker is near the top of this parallel channel, which may create risk of a move toward the bottom. Second, the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) has been declining and is now...

TMUS: Potential Breakout in T-Mobile

T-Mobile US has barely moved since mid-2021, but now it may be attempting a breakout. The first pattern on today’s chart is the series of higher lows since June. Notice how the wireless stock apparently broke the top of that ascending triangle last month. That may signal continuation to the upside. Next, a falling trendline along the highs of November 2022 and...

XLE: More Downside in Energy ETF?

Energy was the only the only major sector to fall last month. Is there more downside risk? The first pattern on today's chart of the SPDR Select Sector Energy Fund is the November 6 close of $85.70. XLE gapped under that level the next day and has remained there since. Last week saw prices attempt to rally but again stall at the same price area. Has old...

3-Signal Directional Trend Strategy for E-Minis
ES1!: 3-Signal Directional Trend Strategy for E-Minis

This is a conceptual strategy intended for E-mini S&P 500 futures with hourly bars. It uses three signals, going long or short when two or more change in the same direction. First is MACD. A positive oscillator is considered a bullish signal and a falling oscillator is interpreted bearishly. Next, stochastics are used as an overbought/oversold indicator....

Bars Since MA Cross Can Help Trend Following
MSFT: Bars Since MA Cross Can Help Trend Following

Moving average crosses are popular signals for trend followers. Like many conditions, they tend to reverse after a certain amount of time. Today’s script is designed to help traders visualize and interpret these turns. Bars Since MA Cross counts how many bars have passed since a fast-moving average crossed a slower MA. Bullish readings, with the faster MA above...

RSI Past Can Turn RSI Into a Directional Tool
AAPL: RSI Past Can Turn RSI Into a Directional Tool

The Relative Strength Index was created by J. Welles Wilder to measure overbought and oversold conditions. It’s also found popularity as an overall measure of direction because upward-trending stocks often hit overbought conditions. The opposite can be true with underperformers. Today’s custom script, RSI Past, attempts to capture this secondary use of RSI as a...

2 MA Ratio Can Help with Moving Averages
TSLA: 2 MA Ratio Can Help with Moving Averages

Many technical analysts use moving average crosses to assess trend changes. A faster-moving MA crossing above a slower-moving line may be viewed as a bullish signal. The opposite can apply to the downside. While these methods may help analyze price direction, they can often force traders to wait until the cross occurs. Sometimes it may be useful to anticipate the...

How Old Is this Bull Run Getting? Check MA Test Bars Since
SPX: How Old Is this Bull Run Getting? Check MA Test Bars Since

There are many price-based techniques for anticipating the end of a move. However, the simple passage of time can also help because bull markets don’t last forever. While old age doesn’t necessarily cause investors to sell, a reversal becomes more likely the longer a trend lasts. So, how long have prices been going up? There are various ways to measure that. Our...

MA Streak Can Show When a Run Is Getting Long in the Tooth
SPX: MA Streak Can Show When a Run Is Getting Long in the Tooth

Moving averages are one of the most common indicators in the world of technical analysis. And they’re often the ingredients of more complex indicators like MACD. Today’s script shows how long prices have been moving in a given direction. Similar to our earlier Price Streak script, MA Streak counts the number of sessions that the average is rising or falling. It...
