1/13/2010 — Overload!! Because of today's action (a dip early in the session, and a very strong finish) we saw alot of bullish pins. Now here's a case where it might be more helpful to weed some of these out: HW - HEADWATERS INC TSL - TRINA ...

It popped... just in the wrong direction. image That comment should end "...before initiating a position." Not sure why it got cut off. Anyway, in case you are wondering "why" it moved in such a fashion: "Chicago Board of Trade corn futures ...

I think what is confusing to me and other people who post on this thread is what exactly you mean by high risk. To me, "high risk" means the potential of having a serious & demoralizing draw down -- say 10% or more in a day(although for me the % is ...

Yeah, that's where things get interesting. My criteria I'm still working out. It changes fairly often... I.e. do you want the tail to be 2x as big as the preceding bars or 4x as big? Do you want to filter for a pin that closes at the very bottom or ...

Nice trade here - Today's quote $87/share... KNDI's 30% move yesterday looked nice but looks to be forming a pin today going the other way. Hopefully will have some stocks for this evening.

"How I made $2,000,000 in the Stock Market" - Nicholas Darvas Not a bad book. I think it was referenced a few months ago by someone on this thread. He basically just follows a box-breakout system / momentum style trading system, buying breakouts and ...

A box trade I took: — Speaking of "box trades" - Here is a break-out trade I am playing. I guess you'd call this a hybrid between the Darvas box ($90-$100) and the old Jesse Livermore big-round # theory... image

Could be something related to merging of contracts (since this broker is displaying the "continuous" contract, they are merging March 2010 Corn, with December '09 Corn, with September, etc...) I'll look into this data i'm getting from this broker ...

Shucking Corn, Rd 2? — Clock - Any thoughts on Corn now that we appear to be breaking out of this ascending triangle? Wait to see if we get any price action on the way back down to ~410(ish)? image
