Quoting Mr Hatch
I don't really 'feel' that grown-up, yet. There'd be so much I'd like to talk about, unanswered questions, aspects I'm uncertain about and so on.
Somehow, it's a shame, Daddy has to let go to see which kid can make it through the pond, and who is going to drown.

Well, 11 months to go for me, probably a good span to see whether I can make it on my own. Or not.
This new layout is driving me CRAZY!

I can normally see (assume) you're down the bottom.

I'm going to call Daddy right now. I'll probably get paddled. See how it lands.

Its a 3x times leveraged ETF of financials. This is the inverse bear. The bull is FAS.

Quite a pair for intraday trading too. Id sling em more if order entry on equities wasnt such a pain.

so its a fund that covers the financials, interesting as the sector has taken a beating last few yrs

looks fairly low risk to me looking at the weekly nice spot mate would work out the risk with a stop under the lows

You got it. And Yes, since this is the BEAR Financials, it will actually track upwards in a bear market.

Pull up both charts, you can see them inversly correlated, and named exactly for what they are (Bear or Bull).

FAS && FAZ.

Of course, the bull (FAS) broke to the south http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=FAS . That one is a little more pricey.

+18.3% for the week.... Gunna keep is slow and low... Closed all b4 the weekend. Looking at the new moon on the 13th for a possible reversal north to the 1.30's
i just scalp in fear of 2987.. its near 2962... we are below 2962 2802 and 2771... all huge #s.. we haven't retraced to a # = to a norm move since 317x... but we have gone at least 1/2 way except this time. 1/2 way is 2894/95.. we came close last week.. making a new low as st indicated Friday before 2739.. or even not getting above the R in the posted chart.. and it looks real bearish to me. we are below with close 2711... that also bearish to me.. the thing is, its the norm to go to 2987 before the 2432 target....it happens more times then it does not.. so it this particular case i will not ignore bullish signs.. especially at support areas mentioned Friday...after 2987 i will be more willing to let one ride to 2432..

i closed apple.. it did go up a few bucks more after. but since it hit 490.x target, it is usually maxed out. so after some slipagge it usually will pull back. its kinda far fetched atm. but the mid to that leg is 388.25. we sometimes pullback that far after a b/o or a target is reached. the s/p has risen mainly because of apples coattails. apple is about 15% of the entire s/p value. ( i think 15%, spank me if wrong. ) apple is a bad mofu.. 388 would be a high % pullback. that may be a lot to ask.. but 1/2 is not.. 3/4 of the original leg..405.37/406.82....
original crap with norm

It's what I'm watching too gator... missed areas of retests, basically what you mentioned. This is when we start creating those HH, LL, HH combinations...

simple view on Euro

In support area 650/720 JAN/JUNE combo - price sideways/bear for as long as it went up - 8 bars , making a continuation of that up move look less likely - still expect a bounce though to 830 - question is before or after 650? - that's a q for ltfs
