Yep. Top Gear. It's on Netflix (Through BBC) if you have that... always great for a laugh, and informative as well.

America tried to make a version of it and it sucked. Also, the guys on Top Gear pretty much hate every American car there is. I don't blame them.
having worked in automotive marketing and having had dealings with the top gear program, i can safely say that they misrepresent brands and are totally biased, it's comedy entertainment and most definitely not serious motoring journalism in my opinion... my two...

geez we broke support and we go up. here is where most fail. the b/o then opposite bounce.
look for weakness. many times we go to the mid area of the last high in that formation. that mid is 39xx. (yeah 1.39xx). the nearest i have is 2997 then 3119 3241.
looking to sell the bounce when it weakens. with one eye open i said 3014/30.. it may not be enough.. its all subjective.

You got it. Break out, retrace to find more sellers, then the actual fall. But most people have piled on short and have been stopped out by teh time the retrace happens. Then most people lose sight of the retrace and go long, only to have the original trend take back over again.

I don't think I've ever placed a sell stop below support, or a buy above res., in my life. Have seen them work a few times...very few, really. Just feel like sitting duck targets.

Normally exactly where I place counter-trend orders.

i think the official stat is that around 75% of b/os fail...

i prefer to fade if there is no momentum confirming...

not always but many times it will bounce the opposite of the trend in a b/o. (after the b/o before continuation)
db
there is another lower 2587.. i dont know if we will bounce more at the current one or not. if wrong.. i got lots of cherry picken on the way.
its not a failed b/o, its normal pa.. more times then not we bounce first.

Would still LOVE to see a...rip your face off...short-squeezing, long rally to say Happy New Year!

Something just won't seem right without it.
