Hello Myron,

In most cases you would like to get in when you get the signal. In the case of AMGN, I got a buy on 10/15/98. If you use the next day's open, you bought at $77.38... On 11/2/98 you opened at $78.63 and closed at $79.56. Right now AMGN is at $82.81.

The chart you are referring to is a weekly chart. Both the MACD (8-17-9) and the MACD (13-26-9) have recently broken through and should provide room to grow..... I think it will pause around $90 before a further move up..... The pause around $90 may develop into a W4 down BUT, that would be followed by a strong move to the up side....

When you look at a daily chart, you see MACD (13-34-89) breaking through and setting up what again looks like a long run up...

Now, a long run up DOES NOT mean an up day every day...... I would use the MACD (8-17-9) as my exit.

All runs eventually run out of steam. If you are trading longer term, you do not mind staying through a pullback. If you are shorter term you want out as soon as you sense a deep breath.. That's why exit tools need to be picked by the trader..
