TA trading:

from indicator:

1. rsi: buy below 20 in 1st day reversal, sell above 80 in 1st day drop

2. macd: buy when macd begin to move up from very negative bottom, sell when macd drop from very high peak

3. in weak mkt, buy when william R near 100, sell at o, better use candalestick

 Pattern trading :

1. double bottom, double price

2. island reversal from top, it will drop 3-6 months.the bottom will be half of its peak.  island reversal from bottom, play 30-50% rebound. if the fa is good, and there are many downgrades, it could be a big bottom such as sfcc/nvda

3. Flat bottom breakout: the longer the flat, the more it will jump. some small cap can go up at least 3 months or years. the price may reach 10times from breakout such as boom/ford/ntri/tie/hans..with good ers

4. gap up with good er, the stock will be strong in next 2 months such as nvda/akam/sndk/ma/nvec...... buy in next day pull back, hold to 2 months, from weekly chat to calculate the top

5.gapdown with missed er or low next q's er, many small caps will cut half from its peak and the stocks will be weak at least 2 months before it rebound near next er date. (warning: if a stock has good er, gapped down by high price, it will be a big bottom after 2 months such as gpro near 32, lcav near 40...) avoid warning stocks. the 1st warning usually won't be the last one. such as hlit/gnss....

Moment play:

1. breakout: after a stock consolide 2 weeks/4 weeks/6 weeks or more in a very narrow range, once volume pick up, time to chase/ such as hans near 50/peix near 20. rmbs near 12...

2. breakout years trading range, buy in 1st pull back after big volume breakout. such as able breakout 2, boom breakout 5.....

3. double bottom, 1st day close flat or a small up candale

4. 10/20 ema breakout 50ema, golden cross. sell after 10/20ema all aove 50ema/rsi above 80, then wait around 2 weeks to buy back after it correct below 50ema again(bear trap). then hold  to old high or more

5. after a stock already  formed a bottom and up some, it will consolidate 2 weeks waiting for macd breakout, the right buy point is when macd will breakout from negative to possitive(these 2-3days, many stocks can jump  10-20%). short when a strock's macd  drop from positive to negative, cover when macd at 3rd negative day which many ta books tell you to sell short. too obviousely to short, it usually begin to rebound.

6. 2 weeks cup-handle breakout, 3 months consilidation falt top  breakout(target: 2x its range top, usually 1.5-6 months), 2 weeks box breakout
