Idea for everyone...

Was thinking about getting a WEBEX, Zoom or whatever call sometime for anyone who wants to share a screen or two and learn some quick charting fundamentals for identifying support, resistance, trend lines & volume. Potential breakouts and possible entry. Iron sharping iron sort of deal shared screens.

IMO support/resistance and trend lines must be mastered before much else. Nothing crazy with all the studies like MACD, SAR, RSI, Bollinger, etc. but those are all good as well.

Just basic blocking and tackling.

Had sold ASO 45 but have. But did today and only made 20% on it

I love posts like this.

Before you became an active trader/investor and followed/controlled your money did you just plop it into a mutual fund? I'm not picking on you, but I love to watch people take control of their money, learn and use their knowledge and increase their money.

Honest question for anyone that just plopped money into mutual funds before you took control, wouldn't you be ecstatic if your mutual funds produced 20% YOY? However, you are disappointed that you "only" made 20% on a trade. I doubt you held that trade a year. Witnessing the growth of individuals on this thread is what is all about.

Knowledge is power and we all here, experienced or beginner, want the same for everyone. I love this thread.

I see where you're going and you're right! Prior to this thread I had mutual funds and only 4 or 5 conservative stocks I picked after research (dividend path plus growth such as abbvie that have done well). But my picks haven't returned 20% a year...abbvie is close bc I'm getting 8% in dividend a year but others nowhere near.

From this thread I learned sooooo much ..covered calls, even a BASIC understanding of charting, but size positioning, when to cut losses, and when to take profits!

This thread...this community is knowledge....knowledge is powerful!!

Well why don't you powerful mofos send fruit to 150.

Thanks in advance!

Yep, when I first graduated, I did the typical 401k option. Plopped it into the "aggressive" fund and was ecstatic for anything above 10% growth per year. Changed careers, forgot about the old 401k and finally rolled it into an IRA at the end of 2019. Just looked and my 1 year return is at 67%! Pretty much exclusively to the picks on this thread.

Also, grabbed 30 shares of TTD at your recommendation. Respect that you've also put skin in the game with the recommendation. I love this thread and the amazing group of traders we have here.

100% on this. This board is very selfless and egos are left at the door. I think zoom meetings are a great way for all of us to learn and grow as a group. thank you FJ for bringing up that topic!

If I might offer one suggestion on zoom meetings... making it a routine meeting. if we do, it would open a lot of doors to talk through strategies on popular stocks on this thread, hedging, technical analysis, etc.

Can't say thank you enough to the guys that post so frequently on this board. Amazing group here!

G-7 nations reach historic deal on global tax reform

First question is what nation is 8th and which corporations will have the balls to move there?

If I'm running a corporation that is looking to finish the year just north of 10% in profit I'm spending just enough to get to 9.8%...... first thing I'll do is I'll give all employees fat bonuses to get to 10%.... Then I'll spend 1% advertising the hell out of said bonuses to give the govt a big middle finger daring them to come after me

Hola Amigos...

Blocking & Tackling Zoom Call

Appreciate the positive responses and sure seems like there is a lot of interest given the 40+ stars and responses. We have a diverse group of traders (new, mid level, experienced, pro, scalpers, swing, MA, long, combination of all, etc.) but some things remain the same for all of us.

Here are my thoughts for folks sharing their basic techniques for identifying:

• Support
• Resistance
• Trend Lines
• Breakout Potential / Entry
• Volume Profiles
• EMAs - (Suggested addition)
• ATR - (Suggested addition)

Just my 2 cents but I think for this one it may be best to keep it as simple as we can. I'd love for us to cover the basics of the list though. Its easy to be drinking through a firehose on this stuff with so many different 'tools' used for trading but as OA spent time with us on a few months back, a few key things are fundamental.

Pattern recognition could be an entire call by itself IMO. Maybe the next one we can cover pattern recognition then move onto MACD cross overs, SAR, RSI impacts, Bollinger Bands, etc. for those interested in those studies.

ibdm98 mentioned he would host a zoom screen share/call if broad interest so hope this response qualifies.

Sometime in the next 2 weeks I am good to go. For me anytime Mon-Thu is best but will make whatever works best for the team here. I am on EST.

I hope I can contribute something of value and am by far not an expert. I'm just a junkie for this stuff, love charting and looking forward to learning from the great traders on this thread.
