RE: Watchlist - Investor method
Thanks for getting involved guys. I was hoping some of the newer members would add their two cents as it is always good to hear everyone's picks. So if you are new to the thread (or anyone), I would love to hear from you.
Quote:Locked in, I noticed on some of your weekly charts you had a 200 week moving average I guess that's probably because you keep switching back and forward between the weekly and daily charts. If you set up your template with two charts i.e. both a weekly and daily, give them equal space on your screen and link it will save you flicking back and forward. Your MA's will remain correct and trend lines and annotations etc will be duplicated on inferior time frames. Clicking on the "chain" icon on the first chart in the bottom left corner will link them, see images below for duplication of annotations on inferior time frames and how I split the charts on my screen.
Thanks for that Mr. Good. I will attempt that but not sure I have enough room on my screen for two charts and my lists. we shall see.
Quote:I got into this one too early, I remember you being cautious when you placed it on your watch list and you were waiting for a break above the resistance level from two years ago. It obviously was the right decision. Below is my trade journal entry so we can all learn from my mistake.
Thanks for adding a part of your journal for us. The reason I decided to be cautious there is because that short term breakout was really close (I think 26 cents) to where I ended up buying. Since it was so close to the peak of 2 years ago I decided to wait and see. I almost pulled the trigger the very day you did but it would have had to gain another cent or so.
To give full disclosure, I don't always act that way. In fact, I will prove that in my journal when I post in a couple of days and you can rip me apart for doing the exact opposite of what I did on bsx.
I think these are really tough times because there hasn't been any sort of real pullback since November. I have found myself just getting in on smaller pullbacks and/or using sector momentum to buy a little earlier than one should with a disciplined entry approach. I am hoping that doesn't backfire but always ready to learn new lessons..but with this much volume coming in, and people jumping in on the slightest of dips, I think ppl are going to just keep chasing names and sectors because the majority of investors have been missing out and getting antsy.
