Swing Trading you have velocity on your side & compounding... this blows buy and hold returns away... FACT. Consider the swings that have taken place. Thousands of points of potential opportunity... but you have to work for it.

IntraDay Cycle trading...
Trade sequence=15 S&P points (15 points is nothing special=the average daily range is about 15POINTS...2 times the daily average=30 points )...
15 S&P points =cover 1/4 of position...
...then 30 S&P points = CheckMate...cover 1/4...
... 60 S&P points =doubleCheckMate cover/close 1/4...
... 90 S&P points = tripleCheckMate...
... 120 S&P points= quadCheckMate...
Goal is 30 points on any position...a tripleCheckMate is few and far between...a quadCheckMate...very rare.

Maybe its as simple as you'd like to make it...simple game of Chess

GRAIL Averages and a sequence of triggers...
Grail Averages 3day (green line) cross 5 day average...3day cross 10 day average...simple...triggers...
PRICE is the one and only indicator...it sets the other indicators in motion...especially when CCI and Stochastics are both oversold or overbought.
When these 2 indicators are both oversold or overbought= There is a sequence of triggers... price moves above the 3 day average and if sentiment has changed while the 2 indicators are oversold like FCX =is right now trying to make up its mind if it will bury itself in oversold or come out of oversold...I'd be a buyer of $16 tomorrow if the indicators were setting up= ready for the sequence of triggers. Simple game of chess I'm looking 4-5 moves ahead...if those trigger are not happening I step aside or learn patience...
Price reverses from down to UP...
You will see price lifting the 3 day average where eventually price is above the 5 day average and the 3day averge it trying to cross the 5 day average= a Grail average trigger...
...IF you get more buying interest then price will continue to lift the 3day average to have the 3 day cross above the 10 day...
...it is right here where I say TRENDS are born or price is already trending=the Trend is your friend.
The CCI 20 and the stochastics 10,3 usually trigger before the 3day cross the 5 day= CCI said buy me and a cross of the 3day above 5day=confidence improves and when I have stochastics on my side=more confidence...these averages fail you just step aside.
More follow through is price crosses above the 10 day average and will lift the 3day above the 10 day=more confidence ...I can sleep at night...
In my mind of 3 neurons...20 day average is nearterm/shortterm average= there are trading 20 days a month.
50day average can be intermediate term...(actually imo 60 is the real intermediate= 3 months of trading...) Many people follow the 100day average= about 6months of look back and price action= longer term.
Moon cycle often comes with one High and one Low per month.
Double tops I want each top to be at least 3 months apart...
I am more interested in seeing both the 20day and 50day both overbought or oversold= with triggers and signals at trigger lines your position can be larger...
CCI will usually be the first to signal at it's signal line and then the stochastics 10,3...
Goal is at least 10% gain...I trade FCX all the time and YOU TAKE What The Market Gives YOU...usually its better than 10%=$300+ profit on 300 shares...anywhere from 10% to 30%= as a swing trader...I'm more than happy...I can retire on trading FCX...if I had 3 stocks that I like along with FCX I can use all the profits from them (the Market's money) to buy the penny...speculative stocks...its a game...Swing Trading.
FCX copper and gold... a bull market usually has a dome of copper above it.
MACD 3,5,0= 3day cross 5day...what where CCI 20 and stochastics 10,3 doing before this Grail trigger happened...?...
Grail Averages...if you don't know where you're at how will you know where you're going...?...if you don't know how you got to this PRICE level; how will you know when change is happening...?...
Just because the CCI 20 or some other esoteric indicator has signaled a change from overbought/oversold (sell high/buy low)...it only means that maybe the daily chart is waking up from an OVERSOLD/OVERBOUGHT level... you need some more confirmation=3cross 5day average... the smallest SETTING you should use on your charts is 3= that's a rule...3=like the stochastics 14,3 default setting or the 10,3 stochastics setting I use.
Anyway...the Key to the "GRAIL" simply is: the only way you are going to get this smallest of small indicators = the 3day average to change direction with oversold levels ...is price has to continue to move above the moving average to lift the 3 day average UP. YOU ARE NOW AN EXPERT =MASTER TRADER...TRY NOT TO COMPLICATE IT.
And sometimes when I say the move is weak or failing = price action around the 3day average=no confirmation...3 isn't going to cross 5 day average...
Moving averages...Moving average CONFLUENCE...
ALL of These averages are important...I'll show you why...
Moving averages are one of the most popular types of technical indicators...used in a variety of different ways to help find winning. Most have seen and understand the 20/50/200 day averages...I'm going to use the 10/50/100 day averages in this example but some may want to use the 20 and 200day instead of the 10 and 100day.
Moving Average Crossovers
By plotting two moving averages - a short-term moving average and a long-term moving average - you can get strong trading signals when the short-term one crosses the long-term one because this often signals a change in trend. Patience would wait for this crossover because it would be to your advantage to wait rather than tie up your funds "wondering" when or IF that crossover will ever happen. Often patience has its advantages by waiting for the signal...front running comes with added time and risk...
Moving Average Confluence
Another way you can use moving averages is by plotting three or four of these on your chart and then waiting for them all to come together. So if you use 5, 20, 50 and 200 period moving averages, for example, you want to wait for them all to be closely bunched up against each other because this often indicates a period of consolidation, and more importantly that a strong breakout is about to occur. So wait on this confluence...
Moving Averages As Price Targets
If you are a long-term trader you can also use long-term moving averages as natural price targets, particularly when trading price reversals. The 200 day moving average (simple or exponential) often acts as a magnet as well as a natural support or resistance level, so it makes sense to think about exiting a position close to this moving average.
Now with these definitions we can look at the process on the chart and also note VOLUME speaks VOLUMES...
I want all those averages on my side...means I want the 10/50/100 day average all "POINTING" the same direction=trending...and then I want to read "Price relative to VOLUME" as price crosses those averages... and as the moving averages cross each other= some VERY powerful trades are happening here as price and AVERAGES act right=cross...this is where fast money is made in options=especially when "VOLUME" happens along with these kind of SIGNALS. So it is to your advantage to practice waiting for these signals to work for you...you don't have to front run it either...just wait for the signal...then put you money to work...10% plus is almost a given if you act right and wait with patience...(go ahead try to prove that statement wrong=10% plus). Waiting is part of the plan...PATIENCE...follow the plan...

Follow moving averages. Moving averages provide objective buy and sell signals. They tell you if the existing trend is still in motion and they help confirm trend changes. Moving averages do not tell you in advance, however, that a trend change is imminent. A combination chart of two moving averages is the most popular way of finding trading signals. Some popular futures combinations are 4- and 9-day moving averages, 9- and 18-day, 5- and 20-day. Signals are given when the shorter average line crosses the longer. Price crossings above and below a 40-day moving average also provide good trading signals. Since moving average chart lines are trend-following indicators, they work best in a trending market. http://stockcharts.com/school/doku.php?id=chart_school:trading_strategies:john_murphy_s_ten_laws_of_technical_trading
A crossover is the most basic type of signal and is favored among many traders because it removes all emotion. The most basic type of crossover is when the price of an asset moves from one side of a moving average and closes on the other. Price crossovers are used by traders to identify shifts in momentum and can be used as a basic entry or exit strategy. As you can see in Figure 1, a cross below a moving average can signal the beginning of a downtrend and would likely be used by traders as a signal to close out any existing long positions. Conversely, a close above a moving average from below may suggest the beginning of a new uptrend. (For more, see: How are moving averages used in trading?)

Fade the Primary Trend Using Two Simple Moving Averages
Locate stocks that are breaking out or down strongly
Select two simple moving averages to apply to the chart (ex. 5 and 10)
Make sure the price has not touched the 5 SMA or 10 SMA excessively in the last 10 bars
Wait for the price to close above or below both moving averages in the counter direction of the primary trend on the same bar...

For gauging price momentum in the very short-term (a period of several days), we have found the 5 and 10-day moving averages work very well. If, for example, a stock or ETF is trading above its 5-day MA, there is usually no good reason to sell. One possible exception is if the stock or ETF has made a 25-30% price advance within just a few days.
The 10-day MA is a great moving average for helping us ride the trend with a bit more “wiggle room” than provided by the ultra short-term 5-day MA. http://www.morpheustrading.com/blog/10-day-moving-average-support/
5day cross 8day...many people use this average crossover...
For trend traders, no stocks or ETFs should be sold while they are still trading above their 10-day moving averages following a strong breakout.
I have followed the rules exactly. Its certainly not holy grail but it has made me some nice pips over the last few months.
I use the 5 EMA and 8 EMA crossover on the daily chart. For the stop loss I use the low or high for the previous day (depending on if we are or short). Alternatively if this is too close or too far away, so the risk/reward ratio would be too low, I draw fib lines on the daily chart and trendlines to try and pickout important support and resistance points and place the stops at these. I always give priority to points where the market has bounced previous. I usually place the stop just above or below these points. https://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=44759

What I was implying was that we have all thought at one time or another we found the Holy Grail...only to be disappointed an hour, a day, or a month later.
In my opinion, there is not a Holy Grail in the sense of a single indicator or setup; there is only understanding price action and how to read charts...and that to me is the true Holy Grail.
You can utilize different tools to help understand price action and how to read charts - there is no shortage of indicators and it seems new ones come along on a regular basis. I use candlestick charts and support/resistance in the form of Fibonacci, pivot lines, previous swing highs/lows, and to a lesser extent moving averages.
...most people jump from indicator to indicator, timeframe to timeframe, method to method. They will use something for a few days, hit a bump, and move on to something different all together. One day the holy grail is a XX period moving average, the next day it is MACD or an oscillator. One day it is a 30-minute chart, the next day it is a 5-minute chart. One day it is buying the break of the first inside bar, the next day it is a pullback from the high.
I call this "chasing success". http://traderx.blogspot.com/2008/10/fibonacci-lines-indicators-and-holy.html

Swing Trading you have velocity on your side & compounding... this blows buy and hold returns away... FACT. Consider the swings that have taken place. Thousands of points of potential opportunity... but you have to work for it.

IntraDay Cycle trading...
Trade sequence=15 S&P points (15 points is nothing special=the average daily range is about 15POINTS...2 times the daily average=30 points )...
15 S&P points =cover 1/4 of position...
...then 30 S&P points = CheckMate...cover 1/4...
... 60 S&P points =doubleCheckMate cover/close 1/4...
... 90 S&P points = tripleCheckMate...
... 120 S&P points= quadCheckMate...
Goal is 30 points on any position...a tripleCheckMate is few and far between...a quadCheckMate...very rare.

Mean Reversion...Daily bias is down from overbought... Mean Reversion would be the 20 day average=2759.76/2760...would be your first target. The only thing that is going to change this target is if CCI reverses back into overbought.
My targets are 2800...2790... 2760 (20day avg)...2750(50day avg)...2740. You will need a momentum increase when 2800 fails...
Regression to the Mean/Mean Reversion is the most powerful law in financial physics This is the Bollinger Bands 20,2... the 20 day moving average= a very important signal line...
Mean reversions out of extremes are the most powerful and profitable forces in all the financial markets. Riding one has enormous benefits for your wealth. Financial-market prices and sentiment are like a giant pendulum. The farther they are pulled to one extreme (overbought/oversold) by excessive greed or fear, the farther they necessarily swing to the opposite extreme in the subsequent mean reversion. Like pendulums, these reversions don’t magically stop right in the middle at normal again. Their kinetic momentum carries them through to the opposite ends of their arcs. But overshot extremes don’t last for long, as the universal greed necessary to fuel them quickly burns itself out.
Right now the bigger stocks are reporting earnings...most have been good; and we've been range bound...2815-2700...so if a good move down= 30S&P points we may not see much more then 15 point swings either way. I suggest a 15+points range is about what an average day consists of...the Average True Range (ATR 10) suggests price can move 20 points UP or DOWN. If ATR increases volatility is increasing...
Daily
CCI 50 is overbought...Mean Reversion here is the 50day average 2749/2750.
60minute chart parameters=upper Band = 2817...lower Band =2801 the 65 period average is about = to the daily chart's 10 day average is at 2795...I really shouldn't be looking past 2795...2801
Daily bias points DOWN so why don't we get going...
...stochastics just keeps coiling in OVERBOUGHT...they need to rollover and start to die...but getting there from the looks of what %B is doing...rolling over...
60minute...you want to see what 60 minute is thinking at this time = it has reversed UP as price tested 2800 and bounced...so 60 minute bias is UP...range is 2800 to 2815...

Swing Trading you have velocity on your side & compounding... this blows buy and hold returns away... FACT. Consider the swings that have taken place. Thousands of points of potential opportunity... but you have to work for it.

Swing Trading you have velocity on your side & compounding... this blows buy and hold returns away... FACT. Consider the swings that have taken place. Thousands of points of potential opportunity... but you have to work for it.

IntraDay Cycle trading...
Trade sequence=15 S&P points (15 points is nothing special=the average daily range is about 15POINTS...2 times the daily average=30 points )...
15 S&P points =cover 1/4 of position...
...then 30 S&P points = CheckMate...cover 1/4...
... 60 S&P points =doubleCheckMate cover/close 1/4...
... 90 S&P points = tripleCheckMate...
... 120 S&P points= quadCheckMate...
Goal is 30 points on any position...a tripleCheckMate is few and far between...a quadCheckMate...very rare.

IntraDay Cycle trading...
Trade sequence=15 S&P points (15 points is nothing special=the average daily range is about 15POINTS...2 times the daily average=30 points )...
15 S&P points =cover 1/4 of position...
...then 30 S&P points = CheckMate...cover 1/4...
... 60 S&P points =doubleCheckMate cover/close 1/4...
... 90 S&P points = tripleCheckMate...
... 120 S&P points= quadCheckMate...
Goal is 30 points on any position...a tripleCheckMate is few and far between...a quadCheckMate...very rare.

Swing Trading you have velocity on your side & compounding... this blows buy and hold returns away... FACT. Consider the swings that have taken place. Thousands of points of potential opportunity... but you have to work for it.

IntraDay Cycle trading...
Trade sequence=15 S&P points (15 points is nothing special=the average daily range is about 15POINTS...2 times the daily average=30 points )...
15 S&P points =cover 1/4 of position...
...then 30 S&P points = CheckMate...cover 1/4...
... 60 S&P points =doubleCheckMate cover/close 1/4...
... 90 S&P points = tripleCheckMate...
... 120 S&P points= quadCheckMate...
Goal is 30 points on any position...a tripleCheckMate is few and far between...a quadCheckMate...very rare.

Daily
Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (otcqx:LXRP) has developed and out-licenses its disruptive delivery technology that promotes healthier ingestion methods, lower overall dosing and higher effectiveness of lipophilic active molecules. In April, the Company announced a major new licensing agreement with Nuka Enterprises LLC, maker of 1906 brand cannabis chocolates and other edible products. The deal renews Nuka's DehydraTECH™ license rights for use in its 1906 brand of cannabis chocolates, recognized for their fast onset times, efficacy, amazing taste and unique formulations. Nuka has been utilizing Lexaria's technology within its award-winning 1906 brand chocolates for nearly two years, during which time 1906 entered the cannabis market; advanced from a start-up to Colorado's number-three cannabis chocolate brand available in over 150 locations; and has been touted by media, industry watchers and consumers as one of the most innovative brands in the cannabis space.

How about you commit to never saying Witch Hunt... how many times have you used those word?...they are not words of respect for your intelligence agencies.
Recall...news stories reported great discord in a meeting between members of NATO nations, reacting angrily to President Trump’s confrontational style exhorting them to pony up more monies for their nation’s defense, and not to rely so much on the USA any longer. In the process, and via other newspaper interviews in the U.K., his comments were portrayed as insulting to both German Chancellor Angela Merkel and his hostess, British Prime Minister Teresa May. By the next day, Friday, the other universe took over, as Trump proclaimed the NATO meetings were a tremendous success, everyone was on the same page, and that his words were quoted inaccurately about Merkel and May, who he praised as outstanding leaders that he gets along with very well. He then returned to his familiar theme of the “fake news” press...
...just rewrite the history like all autocrats do...nothing to it...no problem.
Daily ...part of the reason I'm not sure I should hold short overnight is CCI has moved back into CCI overbought. When CCI was first used it was with futures contracts and you would go long when CCI entered overbought. So some buying came in and price made it above 2810...and there is still room for more UP. Above 2810 price would be outside the 50,2 Band.
Add short 2811...not sure if I want to hold this overnight...
Long ...

Swing Trading you have velocity on your side & compounding... this blows buy and hold returns away... FACT. Consider the swings that have taken place. Thousands of points of potential opportunity... but you have to work for it.

IntraDay Cycle trading...
Trade sequence=15 S&P points (15 points is nothing special=the average daily range is about 15POINTS...2 times the daily average=30 points )...
15 S&P points =cover 1/4 of position...
...then 30 S&P points = CheckMate...cover 1/4...
... 60 S&P points =doubleCheckMate cover/close 1/4...
... 90 S&P points = tripleCheckMate...
... 120 S&P points= quadCheckMate...
Goal is 30 points on any position...a tripleCheckMate is few and far between...a quadCheckMate...very rare.

60minute... daily bias is down... you're not going to see what really is going on with price on the daily chart alone.
So you can look at the timeframe above the daily= weekly CCI bias is also pointing down. And you can look at the timeframe below daily= 60 minute chart which has a CCI bias pointing down...maybe this suggests when all 3 timeframes want down...down is the side to place your bets on.
But 60 minute stochastics 10,3 is saying there is some buying interest still there. Price only went down to 2793...we have a sideways range going on...
If stochastics reverses below centerline and a UVXY hedge may be in order in case 2790 fails.
Focus is on earnings and it is these next couple of weeks of earnings that is going to hold the Market UP...Price really doesn't have to go below 2780 but 2760 or lower would be interesting...

GBTC dollar down GBTC UP...I haven't looked for other news...
From post I'm replying to... GBTC...i lost a few $ on this one this week...need to keep price above $9...are the CCI 50 and CCI 20 both oversold...?...they were and that's why I tried a trade...going to try next week also...stay above $9 sell $11...$9 to $11 is more than a 20% profit... do that 5 times and the 100 shares are at no cost...and you're a long term player waiting for BitCoin to go to $28,000...right now BitCoin can't make up its mind if it wants to stay above $6,000...some fanatics say $28,000 by the end of the year. I'm not a fanatic...I'm a swing trader. I will get my share...
I'm out for the next couple hours so no trade...

BTAI...This stock had a 50day average reversal UP at centerline and for now both the CCI 20 and CCI 50 have sell signals...
Price target is $15 to $23... https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/BTAI/price-target/
July 10, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioXcel Therapeutics, Inc. (“BTI”) (BTAI), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical development company utilizing novel artificial intelligence to identify the next wave of medicines across neuroscience and immuno-oncology, today announced the formation of a Clinical Advisory Board (CAB) to provide strategic counsel to the Company as it advances the development of BXCL501, a first-in-class sublingual thin film formulation of Dexmedetomedine, for the treatment of agitation. Additionally, the CAB will support the advancement of further candidates in BTI’s emerging neuroscience pipeline identified through its artificial intelligence (AI) innovation lab partnership with BioXcel Corporation.
There may be another chance to get this at a price below $10...takes patience...
...if that doesn't happen or you just can't wait start a 1/3 position.
$11.50...is resistance until it isn't...

Signals at signal lines...study the first chart...place you cursor on an arrow or signal line and scroll the chart down to price...and decide if there is 10% moves after the signal at signal line happens...risk 5% to make 10%...
Nothing to it...right?
never have to change these settings...http://schrts.co/uH7w29
LIT appears to be a laggard in this new high bull market...interesting...?
SBAC...this one is a longterm play...hot item...get some when both the CCI 20 and the CCI 50 are oversold with signals on the CCI 20= the best entry for any and everything= buy low...(but you may not get to see price here below the 50 day average=so CCI 50 centerline reversals may be a trade...or just swing trade the CCI 20 until profits = the cost of 100 shares...and retire it to a long term play.
RVLT...I'm a buyer below $4...earnings due end of month...

IntraDay TimeFrames section on the Intro page
Usually after the first 1/2 hour (when I think of it) I post what the bias is for 60 minute ...daily and weekly charts...
This is what I did this morning...
July 13... Swing Traders...Focus on CCI Commodity Channel Index 10...15...30...60 minute charts... then daily Bias and weekly chart.
60minute CCI 20 bias is UP...overbought 60 minute chart can act as a proxy for the daily chart...best trades are when both 60 minute and daily bias are working together.
Daily CCI 20 Bias is UP....Overbought ...always trade in the "direction" of the daily bias... any index or ETF... this should be carved in stone......working word=direction...get direction right and you will make money...
Weekly chart CCI 10 Bias is UP...Overbought...it is always nice when both the Weekly and Daily bias are working together=pointing in the same direction...but, remember the daily chart is the driver.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Both daily CCI and 60 minute CCI where overbought this morning...the only change so far is the 60 minute CCI has had a signal at the CCI signal line suggesting a cycle down is in the works for the intraday TimeFrames...
There is a trade here= when both Daily and 60 minute are in overbought.
I took some profit and I could have started a short position...and so far it would be working ...My choice was to give price some time...wait.
Maybe Monday I'd try a short...
Is there going to be some selling into the close...Friday the 13th...
Trade wars...NATO disruption...the 2 most crooked presidents tRUMP and Putin hooking up to decide who's is biggest...
60minute...stochastics is starting to agree with CCI
Shortterm Bollinger Bands inside intermediate term Bollinger Bands...
...edit...see post I'm replying to...
BIAS on the CCI remains BULLISH until the indicator drops below the +100 signal line. Best trades are with the daily CCI BIAS. BUT*** if you add a new BUY position here its nice to know where you're at. "IF you don't know where you're at or don't know how you got here...HOW are you going to know where you're going...?"
Getting PRICE direction right is the key to making money ... nothing to it...right...?...
Listen to signals at signal lines...
SIGNALS at Signal lines...overbought doesn't mean sell...go short
https://www.maynardkeynes.org/keynes-the-speculator.html
“The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.”
Both the CCI 20 and Stochastics 10,3 have reached their overbought levels based on the parameters of the technical indicator. BUT stochastics 20,3 hasn't reached overbought...The default setting for stochastics is 14,3... and I consider IF you are using 20,2 Bollinger Bands why not use a 20,3 stochastics?...answer is you can.

"IF you don't know where you're at of don't know how you got here...HOW are you going to know where you're going...?"
OVERBOUGHT doesn't mean SELL...a SELL signal happens when CCI crosses below +100 =it's SIGNAL LINE. "Listen to Signals At Signal Lines" and even with a signal at the signal line PRICE can reverse back up. You should be reading the indicator when its at one of its signal lines...
Stochastic sell signal line happens at the 80...many people suggest the "slow line=redline of the stochastics is the line to wait for a signal at the 80 signal line...but whatever it is confirming the signal of the fast stochastics line.
Bollinger Bands are volatiality Bands they are not overbought/oversold parameters. You can see the upperBand right now is declining= less volatility...I consider Bollinger bands better indicator then some crazy option pricing model like the VIX. And is why I like the %B technical indicator.
Price can remain overbought for a month or 2 months like it did on the big run in December and January...and stochastics most of that time was coiling sideways in overbought...
OverBought/Oversold "relative" to what...? buy low/sell high relative to what?...
Right now CCI 20 is overbought but CCI 50="relative" to 50days of price behavior isn't overbought for the DOW. BUT the CCI 50 on the S&P chart has been overbought for 3 days...
Listen to the Signals at Signal Lines...the red arrows on the CCI 20 point down from the +100 signal line to the -100 signal lines when price turned UP from the oversold signal line...the crowd tends to run around like Yo-Yos...and a CCI cycle is oversold to overbought to oversold.
Daily...you should look at how well the 10day average and the 20 day average would have kept you a bull during the run from September to January...
Daily S&P...CCI 50 is in overbought...its been there for 3 days...
I can say a CCI 20 can represent nearterm and a CCI 50 represents intermediate term...so Price is overbought on both the nearterm/short term and intermediate term.

Swing Trading you have velocity on your side & compounding... this blows buy and hold returns away... FACT. Consider the swings that have taken place. Thousands of points of potential opportunity... but you have to work for it.

IntraDay Cycle trading...
Trade sequence=15 S&P points (15 points is nothing special=the average daily range is about 15POINTS...2 times the daily average=30 points )...
15 S&P points =cover 1/4 of position...
...then 30 S&P points = CheckMate...cover 1/4...
... 60 S&P points =doubleCheckMate cover/close 1/4...
... 90 S&P points = tripleCheckMate...
... 120 S&P points= quadCheckMate...
Goal is 30 points on any position...a tripleCheckMate is few and far between...a quadCheckMate...very rare.
