November 18th Daily Market Comments

Currently the market indexes are showing a resting day. Nothing has altered the current uptrend, investor sentiment is not changed, evidenced by the fact the markets continue to trade above the T-line. While the major indexes continue to drift higher, the transportation index continues to drift lower, indicating overall investor sentiment is not going to be rampantly bullish. The strategy remains the same, stay predominantly long but have logical stop’s in place.

November 15th Daily Market Comments

Washington politics do not seem to be an adverse affect on investor sentiment. Today’s positive trading is showing strength coming out of consolidation areas of the past few days. Nothing has changed investor sentiment, the uptrend continues above the T-line. Climbing the wall of worry provides more evidence the bullish market is in progress.

November 14th Market Wrap-Up

Identifying the uptrend in a continuation process is relatively easy utilizing candlestick signals. Price movements that create patterns that are identified by most investors are confirmed more quickly when evaluating the signals that show strength at pattern breakout levels. This was illustrated in a breakout in the Dow, S&P 500, and the NASDAQ when the next wave was confirmed with candlestick bullish signals. Because candlestick signals are the graphic depiction of human nature and the T-line is a natural support and resistance level of investor sentiment, utilizing the combination provides very high probability trend analysis. The current uptrend remains in progress as it is continuing to trade above the T line. The first analysis of profitable trading is identifying the overall trend of the market indexes. This becomes much more accurate when using the information built into candlestick signals and patterns.

All boats rise in a rising tide! However, identifying the candlestick signals and patterns that produce the highest profit trade results allows candlestick investors to make much greater profits knowing that the overall market trend is continuing in a slow uptrend. The best friend signal, the J-hook pattern, and the frypan bottom are just a few of the candlestick patterns that allow for much greater profitability than merely holding stocks that are moving up slowly in a slow uptrend.GH is showing good strength because of a best friend gap up. DXC provides very strong upside profitability based upon a best friend gap up confirming a frypan bottom breakout. Because candlestick patterns produce to results, a high probability of being in a profitable price move and the results of the price moves are much greater when the patterns produce breakouts, the profitability of an overall positioning of the portfolio is dramatically improved. The percentage of correct trades are dramatically improved based upon the high probability results of candlestick signals. Where most investors have decent portfolio returns during an uptrend, due to a majority of stocks moving positive while a few positions are trading negative, the candlestick investor has the benefit of greatly reducing the number of trades in the portfolio trading lower.

November 14th Daily Market Comments

Today’s mild selling does not show any change of investor sentiment. The indexes continue to trade above the T-line. The lack of any substantial direction in the market indexes provide a trading atmosphere that allows each individual stock chart to be the primary analytical factor. Stay predominantly long but have safety stop’s in place. When the market indexes start moving lethargically sideways, it becomes susceptible any good news or bad news to move the indexes one way or the other.

November 13th Daily Market Comments

The Dow and the S&P 500 are trading flat or slightly higher after bouncing off the T line. The NASDAQ opened lower but is trading above where it opened, indicating buying is still occurring in this market. The transportation index is trading below the T-line causing an alert for watching the rest of the market indexes to start more selling.

The slow steady buying indicates calculated buying versus exuberance during this uptrend. The T-line remains a relevant factor for the market uptrend as well as individual stock prices. Numerous stock prices have consolidated mildly back to the T-line and then started back up. This indicates profit-taking occurring along the way. Continue to stay long as long as prices stay above the T-line.

November 11th Market Direction

When the market indexes broke out through a resistance level that everybody else could observe, the candlestick investor has the advantage of seeing the bullish signal that was indicating the resistance level was not going to continue to act as resistance. At that point, high probability trend indicators, such as the T-line, continue to confirm that the next wave to the upside was in progress. Although the indexes have had a few days of indecisive trading, profit-taking, the overall trend evaluation is simplified by knowing that as long as the indexes continue to trade above the T-line, the uptrend remains in progress. Having that information allows the candlestick investor to enter trades that have probabilities of creating high profit situations with the underlying factor being there is no major selling pressure in the markets.

The lack of any selling indications provide very profitable trade set ups. Uptrending stocks stimulated by belt hold signals, such as our position in GOSS, dramatically improves the probabilities of not only being in the right direction at the right time but in very strong price moves. Holding steady Eddie positions as illustrated in our recommendations on VSTO and CARB allows for participating in the high profit exuberance at the top of steady price trends. Human nature works the same way time after time. Learning what patterns are created by human nature/investor sentiment puts the candlestick investor in situations where the probabilities are not only extremely strong of being in the right direction at the right time but also establishing positions that will produce excessive profitability.

November 11th Daily Market Comments

Today’s selling was somewhat telegraphed last week with numerous indecisive/Doji trading days in the indexes. With the >Doji days occurring in the overbought condition after a good uptrend, it provided suspicion of some profit-taking about ready to occur. Anticipate more consolidation but not necessarily a reversal in the market indexes as long as they continue to trade above the T-line. This provides opportunities to analyze each individual position in the portfolio to evaluate whether it is time to take profits and look for other sectors that are about ready to start uptrends. The biotech sector is showing good strength.
