Trade ideas
$ALB Bullish after earnings surprise . ALB produced a excellent and surprising set of results yesterday and upbeat guidance. The only disappointment was a decline in revenue from Lithium sales but that was as a result of factors outside the companies control. ALB has already tested this $73 range once before and bounced, hopefully we see the same and a move towards $93 will ensue. The average price target on the stock is $106 but until world trade disputes are resolved this will probably not be reached for some time.

$ALB ALBEMARLE CORP, looks appealing at this level.Like many of the miners, things have not been easy recently. Global unrest and trade disputes have made it very difficult for investors to have confidence in future prospects. We believe the skepticism is overdone and ALB is on our long list after the dust settles from today's downgrade to a price which is actually 33% above current levels.

I not use sophisticated Technical jargon in an attempt to persuade and impress the reader because I not a Charlatan
I do not use fancy Charts plenty of Indicators, Oscillators, and other stuff, all in a stock chart in an attempt to impress
the reader with my knowledge because I not a Tutor or Mentor.
I am not either a Business man, Engineer, Doctor, Inventor or Innovator; this requires different skills and personalities
Who I am?
I am End of Day Analyst and Stock Picker, I support myself in Charts, but I not self-proclaimed Technical Analyst Expert
I do not fall into the mistake of comparing and affirm that Technical Analysis is better than Fundamental Analysis .
I am a person without Higher education, and not have math skills.
I am a right brain oriented person and I focus in my strengths, for this reason I use Charts and
I no try to become a Quantitative Trader, since it is a lost cause, in my case.
I dedicated 10 lonely years of deliberate practice and in this process, I eliminated all kind of thoughts.
I open and reset a lot of Demo Accounts for this purpose
I tried and practice with different Markets (Forex, Options and Stocks) with different Time Frames (Intraday, Scalping, Swing/Position).
I tried Mechanical Trading too, But definitely I am Discretionary Analyst or Qualitative, It took me years to know it, and a lot of books.
I've learned by myself, but I do not think I'm smarter than the others, “Ego is a sin”
What I do?
I pick Stocks manually I watch one by one without the use of a Stock Screener
I follow approximately 1300 to 1400 Stocks , with different market cap
I have no preference for a particular industry I follow 10 Industries even Public Utilities
I do not follow Penny Stocks and Over-The-Counter stocks
I not follow Stocks with an Avg_Volume bellow 100,000 with (Low Liquidity)
I use a simple method based in Support and Resistance , accompanied with moving averages, and I do a Top down Analysis with multiple time frames
My first view of a Stock is a 10 year Weekly Chart, Then I do a zoom in and I focus in the action of the last 2 or 4 Years, I look my Daily Chart and 4-Hrs Chart too
I understand the concept of Short Selling and spend hours searching this kind of patterns including the weekends.
What I can do for you?
I can put ideas in the desk of Professional Traders, the ideas are based in Price Patterns + Price Action,
and they can trade with your own system or set up
My ideas are not influenced by the media or my neighbors,
This was my Resume and Cover letter
Sincerely
Alex_Quiroga
ALB: Albamarle Cup and Handle PatternAlbamarle seems to have formed a cup and handle pattern. Trading with a target of $147.43 upon break of $137.75. Both the RSI and MACD are stretched so I am suspecting that the move towards the target will be at a gradual pace I am keeping a tight stop at 133.90.
