stockcharts.com[m,a]daclyyay[da][pb50!b200][vc60][iUb14!La12,26,9]&pref=G The MACD thick line is over the thin one - trend seems to be up - that is a good sign right? RSI seems to be trending up. But the following chart not so nice - please help me understand: stockcharts.com[m,a]daclyyay[da][pd20,2!i][vc60][iUf!Lw25]&pref=G Accumulation/Distribution trending down - bad right? Price by Volume shows 1425 resistance - where most of the volume is right? bollinger bands show trending down with short pop to middle of band but if I understand right once it hits that middle dotted line of the downtrending bollinger band it will go down again. Aroon OSC - dont know what it means - but Jim Puplava has talked about it a few times - it does not seem to be trending up to me. How much are you playing with and what length of positions are you taking MOO? I can't go into this for a few points up or down MOO over a day or 2 - I have a 25K account right now, after 7 dollar trade fees - 15% capital gains - I need good 10-15% moves within a month or 3 - that is my time frame and percentage expectation 1% every 2 days will require too much of my time, I need a CLEAR trend before I put my money in - this swingtrade daytrade crap got me burned a few times many years ago because I have narcilepsy or just pass out from my sugar levels getting too low and I would be sitting their sleeping on the keyboard while I lost my but - haha. Maybe like Slagle I got so BORED looking at level 2 screens my mind shut down in self preservation and went into happy dream mode - HEHE to keep the creative side of the brain alive! The professionals like gary kaultbaum and phil grandie make it sound to me after this week - we go down for the summer - maybe small pop in june - and no big rally up again until fall if then. If you bought at the bottom price a few days ago and sold at the top price today - you did well, I doubt even the best people in the planet were able to do that en masse. If I had 10K shares of QQQQ that I bought friday at 34.5 and sold monday for 35.25 That is what - 7K in few days - clicking buttons, not bad, but I am not trading that level of money, just 25K - lets say I did the same trade with my little bit. I would have made 543 dollars - still not bad for a few days clicking buttons while I listen to kaultbaum - but I want to master this game to win the big bucks, so I can do like slagle and fly over to cebu and find a wife that wants an american to lift her up off her feet when the white knight ride in - HAHA! If my girlfriend had not left for NY, I wouldn't be doing this now, even if I could afford 10K shares - I am just doing this to pass free time right now - this summer I will be going to AI conferences and meetings and travel - wont have time for this those months so I am trying to put mega time in right now - it is so entertaining to watch all the comedy going on right now - hehe. This is great dialogue for me though, really learning new things of why people believe the things they do here - very helpful - thanks a lot.
