isatrader is right, but you are asking basic questions. You should read up in general, and, on he strategy itself, in the book and on this rich thread on t2w and also join isa's new website. That will take you a year at least. With such small £ I suggest you consider actual trading only on the...

Re: CUP.L,UK:CUP breakdown This has played out, and shares closed today at 72p (Edit: no, sorry, 49p!) , clearly lower than even if the Cupid investor was pedestrian to act upon the 170p breakdown as late as 150p on the attached chart drawn in Feb. Obviously several charting methods, not just...

The break (and prob gap) followed a successful fundraising. (I closed my short there.) OCDO sketch wkly...

GoodTyne yes I think you are right on XXIA. There is a lesson here for me to check the longer term chart, as there is $20 resistance in 2005, which I had not noticed. 10yr weekly chart Ixia, XXIA BigCharts.com If over the two or three weeks following a breakout a chosen stock does not behave...

Thanks for your view. I don't really like to mess around too much with the basic method, and I think the weekly set up was as good as you are likely to get with a weekly approach to currencies, with a good retest so you could enter well above 1.58, offering a 50-100 point stop, and no recent...

As I recall the interview with Stan he was trying to jump the gun and say that in his experience this sort of price action was a prelude to a top. As I have said before, although the book mentions that H&S, etc. are sometimes seen in a top, seeing a pattern is merely a bonus and the key...

Re: UK:TCM / TCM.L Telit $60m growth stock Telit Comms had good results this week and good volume in the last two weeks, and, if it breaks out this week or next, would be an interesting model UK small cap There looks a bit of profit-taking on results, with sellers at 62p, forming horrid...
