Yes very nice-- though I think you played it better than I as I didn't add on the drop.
Well done hebercreeper!

You are in an area foreign to me although I understand what you wrote. Do you trade futures?
Walked the bid up his morning (Sep 75C) from 3.80 to 4.00 but no fill
Ended up w/ shares @ $77.37. Initial tgt still $81 but since I have shares-- & the chart produced a Golden Cross today -- I'm looking for the $85 level (10%)

Thanks n4te0ne I like options too & the trades off these charts are trying to take advantage of an anticipated short term movement using ITM or near ITM levels.
I look for volume but not so much as to follow it, but to make sure it has enough liquidity.
Thanks for the welcome and comments
I am well charger & trust you are too I'm getting comfortable with the daily after watching it for a few months. APA will be my 4th trade off it (with XOM [2x] & KMB the previous ones). I like being able to trade "bottoms" on less risky stocks. Thanks again for sharing it
(I have lurked here for a bit & thought I'd dip a toe in...)

Assuming an open/close above Bullish Harami (baby's head), Like Aug 29 98Cs ~2.00-2.30 (would yield ~50% off estimated intrinsic gain to top-trendline).

I was thinking of you this morning watching UPL's massive dive after the gap opening off the acq PR-- glad you didn't
FWIW I will never tell someone to buy or sell, but I am more than willing to offer what I'm planning to do. Here's what I'm looking at...
MBI: open/close >= 9.62, watching fibs 23.6% area @ $10, short-term tgt $10.55
UPL: open/close >= 22.95, watching mid-bb/fibs 23.6% area @ $23.60, short-term tgt $24.40
Thanks & welcome back I may be a bit too forward leaning (a little too anxious after my short week away perhaps), but I would argue if the MACD pairing keeps the green side flip, it should be okay...
... having said that the past 2 MACD flips were followed immediately by a slight retrace.
Appreciate the weigh-in/feedback
KND [NYSE] Kindred Healthcare Inc
Healthcare | Long-Term Care Facilities | USA
BB Pincher is a TA Setup looking for a turn/bounce off the lower-BB. Key TA is compression/release of:
(1.) %B (thru EMA 5)
(2.) ADX 3 downturn
Also;
(3.) TRIX 3 movement up thru TRIX 7 (key to confirm)
(4.) CMF 3 up thru signal line
(5.) The Aroons (8) to be moving in the right direction (for ultimate green-red crossover)
(6.) Inverted MACD calibrated to previous BB Pincher confirmations for MACD green-red crossover
short-term tgt 21.65 (bid in for Sep 20C)

oh I hear yah Mindreader-- I jumped off OUTR ~ -$2.00 (-3%) @ 53 1/2 & missed the $5.00 gain ($7 swing)...
... can't get them all, but if you get more than you miss then you're doing all right
FWIW Mindreader I have MBI shares from $9.61 and UPL Sep $22 calls @ $1.95. I should have sold MBI post earnings in retrospect, but I was anticipating a double-bottom gain. I am now willing to tolerate a 7% loss so my stop is below $9
UPL I jumped early (MACD pairing did not flip to the green side), but I am in options only and plan to hold for now. If I had shares, my stop would be ~ $22.10

Nicely traded starbuxsux-- 60 it is
Trading ~ < $10,000.00 per session since changing their symbol to PTOI is considered a blazing inferno?
Hope no one is depending on this "inferno" to keep warm...
I know of no "official" Pincher exit criteria pucara. Are you referring to Soapy's suggestion in the iBox?
I plan an exit that looks at the mid-bb, H-Res & fibs as well as past Pincher success. In BAA's case, the last Pincher-like setup EoY "13 provided a ~25% gain before giving it all back...
... with that in mind, a .29 tgt was a combination of fibs, channel position and % movement. The signal I like now to help guide my sell decision is the MACD 3/7 pairing-- decreasing green bars on the histrogram combined with the candle's position relative to my tgt level tells me to either sell or establish a gain-protecting stop.
