@Sgolds Yes, the Indicators seems to run very hot shortterm, but that is always a problem with oscillators. They tend to show very fast overbought situations which is then quite always correct, but the stock drops nearly nothing. Thats why trading these pattern could cause alot of slippage - very difficult. I wanted to point to a more broader view and thats why I presentated longterm charts. I understand the boxes in the direction of a complete movement, that is not bundled into a given timeframe. So imho it is impossible to say that this time is or is not right for the next box. I played alot with Fibu-Time-Zones which could give here an answer, but the results were very bad. When is a correction closed? Also that is a very sophisticated question and normaly only to answer with the facts that come in the future. ;-) Seems strange - I know, but when all would be so easy, trading would give every investor alot of money, but the opposite is right.
From a definition side the trading range from Nov till now is not a flag-formation, because these have to be in a narrow timeframe, 2-4 weeks, but imho we could interprate the last movements for a very big and broad flagformation. I said it in the last posts - flagformations tend to go further in the past direction, means that the stock has to go north. The bullish signal came, as we left that range. I painted a few examples from the past - keep in mind, flags work up- AND downwards. I don't have to say that to you, but I know here is alot of sceptizism related to TA. So this technique is a progress in everyone's own development and you have to get a feeling for this. Sometimes it works and some- times not. Thats life and therefore we have our money- management. Sometimes I have to laugh, when I read in TA boards how good their new tradingsystem works - 70, 80 or 90% are winner trades. Thats not so important, you can loose big money with 80% winner trades and you can "earn" alot of it with 40% or less winner trades ... I know you catched what I wanted to say.
