Here is a picture of what I was looking at when I decided to buy 1,000 shares of TSCO this week. I have seen a lot of charts over the years, and the weekly Feb 3rd breakout of one year of orderly Wave 4 correction, to me, was a bullish sign. Since then, we had a month to consolidate. When I looked at a time frame between a daily and hourly (240 min) I became convinced this one was worth an aggressive buy. I see it as an internal Wave 4 ready to go up again. If I am correct, 42 to 41.30 should hold now and we should attempt to another rally. I will show you soon a similar pattern I posted here last year. Check out and see what happened with it. It is encouraging...
Here is the pattern matching example I was talking about earlier today.
There are no guarantees the same result will happen with TSCO that
happened with IMO. At least it makes a good educational example
of the pattern matching concept. - marc
I haven't posted in this thread for a while, but I wanted to illustrate a pattern I've been following for a while now. This a daily chart of BPT. The initial analysis was done in late December of '04.
All in all, the oscillations were a little sloppy, but the breakout was sound. As always, thoughts and comments are welcome.
Duane, Nice pattern, I would be interested in finding similar patterns that are currently forming, any goo d ideas out there would be welcome, is there a formula to ge the green zigazag lines in esignal? Or did you manually draw them?
Thanks for the comments. In regards to tracking down these types of patterns, I usually review about 4000 to 5000 patterns a week. I usually don't spend more than 5-10 seconds on each one. My paranoid nature of missing a good pattern has me looking at more rather than less.
The lines on the pattern were drawn in manually to highlight the intra-pattern oscillations. I don't know of any EFS studies that would do this sort of thing, but I'll keep my eyes open and respond back if anything comes up. Thanks.
During my weekend research I like to follow up with some of the ideas that I've been working with....Here's another...As always, these are examples and for educational purposes only...Have fun.
I wanted to review your previous two posts on ODP (Office Depot) and thank you for posting
them here back in December.... Here is a captured image of the first....
... and finally, here is the recent update picture of ODP (Office Depot).... the only idea I have
that might have helped you stay in it longer would be if you used a normal ellipse in a pivot to
pivot application. It isn't a standard technique, but it does work a lot of times when trying to stay
in a continuation.
Take care, and remind me when we get a Type 1 buy setup in this stock... might be interested.
