For some reason I can't get IHUB's search to work. My Lowtrade board search works fine. Does admin know why this is happening. My problem or IHUB problem? Started on last Sunday ?????
No need for sorry. Just pointing out. No need for praise.
You say you want to learn this stuff. But often continue to trade without using this stuff.
The past few weeks I've been including both lessons and charts used in the lessons. You seem to use the charts, but not the lessons taught.
Nothing wrong with developing your own style, based on mine. That's what I hope for. Individual traders, but rules based. If you want to hold longer, you'll end up with larger gains and larger losses. Higher risk is fine. But 1 rule everyone should follow no matter trade style or risk level, is learn to cut losses quick.
I can't stress this enough, for any individual trader. You can't get back what's lost, as easily as bank more gains. When in the same stock or the next one. Catching up is harder then adding more.
Preserving capital is a mindset contrary to wanting/expecting more. It's hard to think, you've made a mistake. Thus holding is a natural mistake, hard to break. Rules make this mindset transformation easier. Choose a wanted gain and acceptable loss and stick to them. One rule that helped me the most. Don't watch a move and decide entry/exit along the way. Emotion always screws with your decision.
Thanks but these posts are to show my trading style. Not get praise when something works. I know it works. That's why I trade that way and teach others how.

TENN type O should be RENN.
MSFT missed my $47 target by 3 cents yesterday and 6 cents today. Decided (just now) to take my 5% +/- there, also. Now I'm done watching MisterSofty for a while. Expect retrace coming.
OTIV
Yep my standing order close @ 3.65 for 20% as planned. In and out of 3 planned chart pattern trades in 3 days. EVRY -12%, WPCS +30%, OTIV +20%; Total +38%. Puts my trading business plan in great shape. If you remember my post about that. Only need 1% per week. These 3 were unusually large chart pattern gains. Normally trade for 5 to 10%.

45 minute video on Charts.
Be aware price level determines average gain level. The lower the price, the higher the gain.
Think about the actual VIX's. Because price is lower. Gain is actually larger then the (2x/3x) (? Ultra) UVXY.
I learned to look for this years ago, trading FWLT Foster Wheeler. They had a tradable warrant FWLTZ, which was priced in the $2 dollar range and their common stock was in the $20 range. It tracked exactly like your VIX EFT's tracks the VIX. I stopped trading FWLT's common and traded FWLT's z warrant and made larger gains on every trade.
UVXY had -4.13% and VIX -4.35% Friday. Smaller difference then what I got on FWLT. But FWLT warrants were 10 times cheaper and VIX is only 2 times cheaper then UXVY.
You still end up making a little larger win/loss on each trade, at the lower price. In VIX/UXVY case, you'd at least cover the trade fees on a win.
Keep price level in mind if there is a trading alternative that tracks exactly. Trade the less expensive one.

Here's a big board stock which makes no sense.
RADA
http://www.finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=RADA
No new since June. No price action either. Up 70% for the week. Who's going crazy on no news? This one bound to hear from the SEC soon. But, the SEC can't take away a price move. Only punish those responsible. If eventual Israeli defense electronics news backs up lightning strike. Would be nice to be around watching.
IMO don't trade this one till something proves emotion correct. But if your there when that happens. Jump on the first rung of the ladder. LOL "It's alive."
Doing some home work tonight and found this one. SIAF A OTC China food company, which just closed large $33 mil funding deal 25% discounted, 10.5% interest for 5 1/2 years. With conversion rights only, way out at Oct. 2015 for $1.00. No common issued. Non toxic funding. Ps; large functioning company. Not mom & pop.
This will be interesting to watch and see what happens. First it gaped open to .53 from .46 (20%) then huge volume during the day, while hovering high, as being bought. (volume came in) This action is just NOT how pennylanders play. So Who's buying that open pop and why.
There were 8 mil debit conversion issued/reported June 30 2014, from .40 to .45. Wondering if that debit was with the same VC as the new $33 mil deal. At any rate Fridays 3 mil volume wasn't any retail herd action. NO price increase after gap open. NO emotion for a retail herd mentality to get hooked on. Plus odds are any pennylander which read the funding PR had no idea this funding was non toxic. And first thought into their head was dilution, BAD. So how many pennylanders do you think jumped in up 20%, during stall all day, on good funding news. IMO zero. Friday was accumulation by knowledgeable investors. And how many knowledgeable investors follow pennyland China food companies. Only those involved with the company.
So IMO has to be VC with 8 mil, or insiders loading and causing attention for next wave up possible. Only a big guy / M&M relationship can gap price 20% on pennyland funding news.
This one will be interesting ! And high risk. If my tin foil hat guess is correct, there should be 3 mil & 8 mil dumped into a run. How that run plays out is the risk. I'd only day trade this one.
Ps; the chart is wrong, there was no long candle tail below. It opened @ .53 popped to .59 in 10 minutes and walked down to .55 all day.

MSFT update
Link back
This one was a off 2 week swing cycle play. Out of normal price range for swing trades. But I've been position trading it. Now swing trading for 5% and I expect last climb before retrace to 30ies.
My standing buy closed @ 45.50 Friday. Target $47, 5% +/-. And this should happen quickly, as the "V" bottom prior trend was steep.
All TA indicators are a go. Entry/exit indicators; 5,10,20 MAs are lined up, DMI Still @ hold and Support indicators; StochRSI @ BE IN, with CMF above strong buy pressure.
The reason to conceder trading group action over VC action is the prior price action. Trading groups accumulate at bottoms and pop it. VC's get price pull downs and fund for shares. VC runs last longer usually stepping up. Trading groups normal sell all in a few days. Should have mentioned that in the first post.
The darkside, good question. Every so often I should spell this out.
The darkside is any entity which has the ability to get large amounts of new issued/available stock, at or below market. This can include Venture capital firms, Market makers, Qualified private investors, Company insiders, or Trading groups.
These entities are the opposite side of retail buying and selling. They are the ones which make their gains, on retail's losses. They are the big guys. The ones that have enough cash & or stock inventory, to manipulate price direction by trading over 10% of the average daily volume, at will. Mostly VC's in OTC game stocks or management in pump & dump scams.
They are the poor pennylander's worst enemy. They create, sell into, and feed the emotion runs. When they run out of stock for sale. The run stops and retail holds bags full of believe the story, deserved losses.
They ride the horses, have the dogs and chase the fox ! Over, over and over again. While the foxes never considers moving to a new safer spot.
Ouch. I checked the company because of the PR saying they rejected debit financing. Very unusual, peaked my interest. Loved the marketing presentation. But wow. 15 years in business and not 1 penny in rev's. All this guy does is sell stock or issue it for services. Have no idea who would buy a 15 year dream and do work for stock in the dream.
I can say, I'd love to hire this guy, if I owned a startup. I mean not 1 wind turbine or 1 solar panel sold in 15 years. I know an electrician that's done better then that. Selling off the shelf systems.
Again I have no idea how he spends $200k a year and sells stock to cover that, with zero results. This guy is a genius at rising capital. Not building companies.
Personally wouldn't invest long in his dream. I like his financial abilities and marketing presentation. Doubt he had a funding offer to turn down though. Because without money to hire a sale force, where's the sales coming from ??? Having a website which offers no product packages or pricing to any market for sale? Doesn't produce sale or revenues.
Na; IMO this is a personal project, more then company. And share price over the years have shown that. No funding to drive OTC price action and the price just continues walking down to non existence.
IMO day trade the daily price swings and be happy if you take some gains away. Never believe the PR story, trade retail reaction to it.
http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=MMMW&p=D&yr=3&mn=0&dy=0&id=p44835184073
MMMW looks to me like a nice little guy day trading stock. Not much more. 15 to 20% swings with 200 to 500k volumes.
Got everything in the chart setup there, for attention pop. Now research share structure to confirm dilution, which makes it worth watching.
You can see these non trading, 3 to 5 day, price and volume pops with trading groups also. They don't run, they pop every so often. So confirm dilution or you may be wasting your watch time.
Na never mind, a few minutes checking setup, cost one nothing. I just wanted to mention trading groups often accumulate a week or 4 period of time and cause pops which look like attention pops also.
I've been invited to join overseas trading groups twice. Which do this all the time. Actually a good trading strategy, if one can get enough cash to use. This one would have cost $130k to make $260k, if numbers are close and it was a trading group.
I want to take this entry/exit strategy one step farther.
AMEL

Well I see AMELL acted as expected pretty much. LOL Only thing which didn't happen was pro day traders pre lunch pop. Guess they didn't stick around like I thought they would. After lunch went as expected and open retrace also.
The more you see something happen, the more you can rely on it !
Attention pops, with darkside exit noticed, will fall the day after. As the pennylanders buy at bid to get cheapest entry possible.
I have posted about this subject so many times It's a shame. The logic of uneducated OTC retail just escapes me. If you want your stocks price to run, buy the ask stack and help support it's progress.
Example;
If an average little guy trade is $1k. At open AMEL was .0032 ask. Pennylanders wanted in at bid, as usual. So if retail bought at .0031 bid, they would help cause price decrease and saved $1.00.
$1000 / .0032 = 312,500 shares at ask.
$1000 / .0031 = 322,589 shares at bid.
.0001 x 10,000 shares = $1.00
This buy the bid pennyland buyer mentality all day, ended with price at .002 x the 322,589 shares @ .0031 = $648; $1000 - 648 = $352 days loss.
So this "buy in cheap mindset" cost $352 dollars, to save $1 dollar on entry, in this case. Of the 350 trades today, 70% were bought at bid. Think what would have happened if 70% of retail supported the ask and spent the dollar saved. LOL
Granted, this one is kind of extreme, but pennylanders shoot themselves in the foot every day, buying the bid!!! There's NO changing the herds mindset. They will always try to enter at bid. Saving pennies, often costing dollars; creating downward pressure on the stock they want to run. They even try bid when it's running. And end up chasing and costing more then if the bought above the ask to close first in the queue.
When I first started posting on message boards. I tried to present this; buy above ask; close first, sell below bid; close first, don't get caught in the order line or drive price opposite to direction you want logic, at numerous stock boards. Waste of time.
So think about this and remember and count on it; If there is NO dark master driving/feeding price increase, retail will pull price down 90% of the time, on the OTC. It's an inborn instinct in pennylanders to save a penny, expecting dollars in return. They also feel posting only positive comments on a board will help. I stopped feeling sorry for the sheep after a year of trying to introduce logic into their minds and only post at my board now. For those wanting to learn.
Don't day trade, when darkside is done, in an attention pop. For that matter, sell a swing trade on exhaustion of a darkside climb. Step out of the herd. There dumb animals.
The whole reason I posted this 2 week swing trade cycle to the board was for this post.
Closed LRAD -2.5% and SOL +5% today. In and out of this 2 week trade cycle in 1 week. Earlier ASTI -6% and SONS +5%, total + 1.5%. Looks like more home work this weekend. On the sidelines again.
Some may feel this is a useless weeks worth of trading. But not within my yearly business trading plan. Yep going to hype having a business plan again.
My Yearly business plan for years has been double my cash each year. Or 2% pre week, 8% per month, 24% per quarter, 100% per year. This year I hold 20% (2) divvy stocks, giving 14% +/- per year each. So the rest of my portfolio only needs 72% yearly gain. I swing trade 60% at the big boards and 10% at the OTC. And hold 10% cash in reserve.
At the big boards, I look for swing trades within 5 to 10%, under $10. At the OTC, I look for swing trades within 10 to 25%, under $1. I usually hold 3 or 4 stocks on 2 week cycle at the big boards and 1 to 2 stocks at the OTC on 3 to 5 day (1 week) cycle.
To reach 60%/10% big board/OTC ratio for 72% yearly gain, I need 1% per week total at the big board, or 52% and 2% per week at the OTC, or 20% gain.
As one can see these numbers are easily attainable. So my plan Need has been reached every year the past 10 years. My want is 25% above need and usually reached and goal 25% above want, often reached.
If your an income/retirement trader. Consider creating a business plan. 1.5% at the big board this week = 78% yearly. With big board & OTC (together) target of 72%. want 90%, goal 112%. It's all in the numbers. Bit by bit, each positive trade week adds up to successful trading.
Not a worthless week of trading. An on/above plan, week of trading. Another successful week.
AMEL
Yes watch for 2 weeks to a month or so. And keep an eye for Aug Q report to confirm dilution, that will back a Game play when the darkside is ready.
These OTC games work on share structure, not hype or story. Until someone has shares for sale, to feed any manipulated run, it won't run on news. No one selling large and furies to the pennyland retail herd. No run ! IMO it's was an attention pop.
Basic, simple and clean.
AMBS up date; only OTC stock I have on watch. Just moved from strong watch, 3 days ago. Luckily my .135 standing order didn't close. LOL I have real bad luck.
Something smells strange here. Been free trading since the Temp Job pattern play ended Aug 1st and should have seen break north from retail herd positive ascending triangle sentiment. But it gapped south, the second ascending triangle closed on breakout.
With some tin foil on my head, I'm pondering new funding again possible. Larger then average gap down volume with positive free trading retail sentiment. Smells of a hold back manipulative action. Thus I moved it back to watch, instead of walking away as usual.
Can see the past 3 days IMO manipulative action better in this 3 month chart; I'd say 80/85 % of free trading ascending triangles break north to projected target. And zero % dive/gap south. They may pop and revisit resistance or slowly walk down, but gap down RARE. Retail doesn't change their mind that fast without bad news or manipulation.
http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=AMBS&p=D&yr=0&mn=3&dy=0&id=p67605546211
------------------------------------------------------------
Here's a chart of the Temp Job play so;
The more you see something happen, the more you can rely on it !
The Temp Job OTC game play; after resistance breakout low there will be an attention pop to draw retail attention. Then it will step up 3 times over 3 months. With a attempt at previous high in month 4. After it will walk down to the original move start price over the next 6 to 9 month.
To day trade an attention pop or not to trade post.
AMEL Oops, just ran like crazy the last 15 minutes, to end high for the day, above resistance. Wouldn't expect high finish continuation if dark master blew his wade EOD today. Kind of says he accomplished what he set out for. Price and volume attention pop in 2 days.
So if my experience holds. And dark master is done. Pro day traders, which always show up on emotion pops, and the pennylanders buy at bid. So the herd will take the price down 9:30 to 10:30 for a reload and the pro's will run it to lunch. Then the retail herd is left on their own. Since the dark master accomplished what he set out to do the day before and the pro's got their rush hour swing trade. They shouldn't be there feeding any run for a high close EOD again and the retail herd will buy the bid, to end of day.
Let's see!!! I now expect to see a high candle spike day tommorrow. Possibly finishing red. Not a good day to day trade. Unless the rush hour runs instead of dive as I expect. Then day trade; as dark master is still around, if it runs in rush hour.
Your looking for an open run, to day trade or open retrace, to not day trade. Unless you try to "do what the big guys do" (daytraders) . Should know before 10 am. Don't recommend a novice try to follow day traders. Unless you know how to see the tic by tic reversal signals. IMO beginners should just stay clear of an open retrace day after a huge pop day.
Can't stop thinking about Jolly jumpers now. My first son was before they were around, Daughter after the twins, would only jump 15 minutes, maybe 6 inches high. No competition. But the boys, they would face each other and take turns competing higher and higher. Just give them a PB & J sandwich and eventually they'd tire out and fall asleep, hanging there. Jolly jumpers, a parents dream with twins. IMO
Wish I had the old pictures my ex wife took, when she left us. Matt 8, Marc & Jay 5, Julie 3. Yep I was a single parent.
AMEL
Can't confirm dilution till they release Aug Q report. Last OS was 425 mil. May 2014. Plenty of room to 1 bil. So logic says probably filled that up to Aug. If they increased A/S to 2 bil.
But if this is the Start of an OTC game, the first pop is usually a 3 to 5 day attention pop and should be day traded only. I'd expect continuation tomorrow as price hasn't passed resistance yet. And if this is for attention resistance should be broken, along with large volume increase.
