How to use the J Hook Patterns in Trading Often you get in an uptrend when trading and you just know that it is about to pull back or do a trend reversal. Thus the J Hook becomes your best friend. Robert Hooke FRS was an English natural philosopher, architect and polymath. He originally discovered what became the J Hook pattern. He made contributions to human knowledge spanning Architecture, Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Surveying & Map Making, and the design and construction of scientific instruments.

Continues to Ooze sweet
I wrote about this company as “The only company I like in Australia” two years backhttp://multibaggersindia.blogspot.com/2013/09/roe.htmlFor a developed country, it offered decent growth and was below the radar. Sadly, I only talked but not walked as the company was satisfied with 10% revenue growth. The stock has grown quite well backed by acquisitions, not only organic growth, and is 6 times up since 2013 when I wrote i.e. 210% CAGR.Even now no institution has evinced much interest in CAPILANO HONEY It is certainly hard to foresee such a strong performance from a mere low revenue compounder.But the 70% market share Capilano had in Australia, conjoined with 5% yield was screaming for attention.These days I am mulling a company which is … [Read More...]
Price Action to Predict Market Turns
Predicting Market Turns with Price Action If you watch market action closely you will pick up on a reliable market pattern. Strangely enough it is almost totally independent of the time frames you use. It does not matter if you are using 1 minute 15 minute, one hour, daily or even weekly time frames. Watch this video or any of your charts on any stock, ETF, or index and research this for yourself. You will find that the market reverses itself after runs of 3-4-5 or 6 consecutive trends. Technically this is called the Reversion to the Mean. After a short run like this it seems to just run out of gas. 3-6 bars from William F.

Avoid the “Pattern Day Trader Rule” with CME Equities Futures
A day trader is someone who repeatedly implements short-term intrasession trading strategies to secure profitability. Day traders target the world’s premier financial venues, specifically the stock, currency, commodity, and debt markets. Although the profession can be lucrative, it is also controversial. Two of the most popular markets earmarked by day traders are the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the NASDAQ. Each offers vast opportunities in the trade of shares, indices, and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). However, when it comes to day trading, CME equity futures offer a collection of unique advantages over these traditional venues. For retail participants, one of the biggest upsides is avoiding the pattern day trader rule. What Is the Pattern Day Trader Rule? According to the U.S. Financial Industry Regulatory … [Read More...]
