Live Webinar and Q&A with Aksel – Thursday, December 12, 8:30 am mountain

Dear Tech Charts Members,

Global Equity Markets report started focusing on shorter-term time frame chart pattern developments as well as long-term patterns. Short-term chart patterns are those that cover anything from 1 month to 3 months (according to Tech Charts Research), whereas longer-term patterns are from 4 months to 24 months. Short-term chart patterns are featured on daily scale price charts, and it is important to see and understand the price dynamics of those in comparison with weekly scale breakouts. We will dedicate this webinar to several short-term examples on different chart patterns such as cup & handle, ascending triangle, descending triangle, rectangle, H&S bottom, and compare those with similar developments on weekly scale price charts. I hope to touch on risk-reward, price target calculations, and breakout confirmation levels on all those chart pattern breakout examples.

Webinar Outline

  • We will review some of those chart pattern breakouts that were featured in the Global Equity Markets report 
  • We will review some of the conditions that are required for successful completion of different chart patterns 
  • We will look at some of the developing bullish continuation chart patterns 
  • We will continue to highlight Tech Charts members favorite chart pattern setups in different equity markets
  • We will have a member Q&A at the end of the webinar

Live questions from Members  

  1. On triangle breakouts, how important do you feel it is to clear the last pivot point (as opposed to buying the breakout immediately) before entering a trade? 1:07:49
  2. Could you please comment the HUI or GDX graph? 1:08:30
  3. You have been using SSE50 to analyze China. May I suggest including or start using A50? The reason is apparently the futures contracts trading on SGX. Or, is there a leveraged way to trade SSE50 other than CFD? 1:09:15
  4. Slide 2 – Is the moving average simple, exponential, or something else? 1:09:52
  5. Can you start posting the slides with the member webinar on the member site? It would be very helpful. 1:10:52
  6. H&S bottom reversal: it looks like from the examples that the downtrend line would be breached, retested and form the right shoulder and then breakout. The question, would it be advisable to take position after right shoulder(retest of the down trend line)? 1:11:09
  7. When a H&S has a neckline that is slanted left or right, to which point do you trade? 1:12:08
  8. Why three times 10-period ATR? Is it from experience, is this the best setting for Aksel’s time frame? 1:13:02
  9. Broadening triangle – It’s probably not worth taking a position but when a flat top broadening triangle forms in the downtrend, is there a bias? Example Canada government bond 2-year rate. Flat top broadening triangle formed from March, in the middle of the downtrend. 1:14:30
  10. How do you answer something like this: “I never thought buying breakouts was a good way to trade. Takes so many buyer s to get a stock through resistance. You don’t wanna be buying AFTER that…Pullbacks after the breakout or ahead of a breakout only for me.” 1:15:32
  11. When a premature breakout happens, and the stop is hit, if the breakout happens again, would you take the signal again? If yes, do you change the position size if the risk is lower this time (pivot closer to breakout level)? 1:16:47
  12. Have you calculated which patterns tend to assume which roles: continuation vs. reversal? 1:17:37
  13. Is there any suggestion, other than using the correlation table, which breakout signals to select from because you highlight many and they all look pretty good. 1:18:32
  14. What does on a daily closing basis mean – example when saying, “That the 3%-breakout-confirmation has to happen on a daily closing basis?” 1:19:14

Dear Tech Charts Members,

We are continuing our Member webinar series with a review of the most reliable chart patterns Tech Charts Global Equity Markets report featured over the past two years. We will go through numbers on chart pattern reliability. Since May 2017, Global Equity Markets report featured classical chart pattern breakouts. Out of those, most reliable were H&S bottom, rectangle, and descending triangle. We will review under which conditions these chart patterns reached their price objectives. 

Given the current market conditions, the webinar will review some of the important charts that are at inflection points. Global equities can start new medium-term trends and it is important to review some of the charts that could signal the beginning of strength.

Live questions from Members  
  1. Can we look at palladium, does recent price action indicate a topping pattern? 47:03
  2. Any thoughts on CVS? 48:07
  3. Can you talk about 285 in HK? My question is — the last nights close is 3% above the boundary, but it's also a candle with big upper wick. How do you handle an entry like this? 48:24
  4. Could you please address where you place stop losses? Do you use trailing stops? If so, how? 50:00 Link mentioned ATR Trailing Stop-Loss – H&S Top
  5. Peter seems to use just about any dipping movement as a right shoulder. Do you have conditions, strict or otherwise, as what counts as a valid right shoulder? 50:33
  6. In the continuation pattern, if we compare H&S to cup and handle, which one has better success rate in your experience? 51:46 
  7. Do you have any statistics as to the percentage of times H&S continuation patterns work? 53:35
  8. In H&S continuation pattern, do you ignore 200 Day MA totally? Some of them I noticed are really far above the long term moving average. Is that a concern? 54:49
  9. Do you regard H&S failure patterns as a valid tradeable pattern? 55:42
  10. With Peter Brandt’s retirement announced (April 2020), can you consider covering futures and commodities? Please. 56:59

  12. When after breakout, a pullback below boundary, how long do you stick with it? All the way to failure point? Half way there? Do you study what % recover from a deep pullback below breakout? 58:40

  14. Can you buy Singapore and Spanish indices via ETF? Futures? 1:01:33
