$QALB Shorts Slowly Caving To Buys As Chart Ascends Again PT $5+$QALB Updated OTCM recently to include their CFO. The company has also said the Attorney letter should be dropping very soon in addition a week or so after that the company should be upgraded to Pink Current Tier as everything else is in order. The anticipation is of hopefully a $180 Mil Revenue producing Government Security agency to be merging in as some of the connections that have been found point to. Which is all speculation but very educated as the DD is almost spot on. We should be getting more updates as the weeks progress going forward.

131.5/132 AUG 3rd bear vertical on GLD in response to FOMCGLD, SPYDR Gold Shares ETF backed by the physical commodity, has increased dramatically following the dovish Fed sentiment out of yesterday's June FOMC meeting. Central banks worldwide have begun to indicate that they are willing to begin cutting rates, or to resume Quantitative Easing (QE) and balance sheet expansion. As Chairman Powell shifted away from the "patient" stance and indicated that changes could be imminent, saying that "the case for more accommodative policy has strengthened," markets reacted accordingly. Gold has risen on the premise that rate cuts are coming - with bond markets pricing in a 100% chance of at least one cut in the July FOMC meeting. As gold rises more, it does so on the pretense that there will be more monetary easing; if the sentiment in July isn't as dovish as hoped, then the price of gold, and thus the value of the GLD ETF, will decrease. Using the August 3rd expiry allows us to capture the reaction from the next FOMC meeting. Technically, the bear case is prominent: GLD is clearly overbought for a myriad of reasons. On both the day and month charts, GLD is trading above the upper Bollinger Band, the Parabolic Stop and Reverse just flipped over the candles, both stochastics have readings over 75 and both the RSI and MFI indicate values over 80. Done for a credit of 19 cents, there is a maximum profit of $19 reached below the short strike and max loss of $31 above the long strike, per contract.

Security - Version 2 vs. Version 3Visualising the difference. Let's take a look at the security function, the differences between version 3 and version 2, and hopefully help give people a better understanding of how these work. As many will know there are differences in how version 2 and version 3 handle the "security()" function. Confusion around the mechanics of this function can lead to headaches for people testing scripts and trying to intuit how it works. So we’re just going to run through some examples to give a visual along with some explanations. First, let’s look at 2 instances of the following code, one in version 2, one in version 3. //@version=2 study("My Script", overlay=false) num = security(tickerid, "60", n) bgcolor(num%2==0?orange:na) plot(num) This will use the built in variable “n” on the 60 minute timeframe using the security function. The variable “n” assigns each bar a sequential number. We will use a 5 minute resolution for our chart and plot the 60minute bar number and change the background color to orange if the bar number is an even number. Let’s see how that looks. So there’s 2 important points to mention here. The first is that the highlighted areas are almost exact opposites to each other. This is because in version 3 the security function uses the value of the previous bar when looking back at historical data. So in our example, at the time that version 2 painted the 14454 bar, that was the correct bar number. In version 3, it was using the previous bar of 14453. So with historical data version 3 essentially has 1 bar of lag. This is to avoid issues of the bar using “future data”, which we will show an example of shortly. The second thing to note is the time at which the bar begins. Using the above example again, notice that the beginning of the new 60min bar has a 1 bar difference on the current timeframe. In version 2 the new bar starts at exactly 09:00, whereas in version 3 it starts at 08:55. Note that this is because we are using the 5 minute chart, if we were using a 3 minute chart the version 3 bar would begin at 08:57, or a 15 minute chart would begin at 08:45. Why? Well, perhaps the following chart will help explain. We will use the following simple bit of code that again use a 5min chart and plot the 60min high value. The purple line is the code in version 2, the green line is the code in version 3. h = security(tickerid, "60", high) plot(h) There’s a lot going on here but we’ll go through it step by step. The first thing to notice to make sense of this picture is that the green bar is exactly the same as the purple bar, but just shifted to the right. This is the lag we mentioned, because the green bar (version 3) is using the value from the previous 60 min period. Now, notice the red circled areas. These areas show the beginning of the new bar for version 3 and the end value of the bar for version 2. **In version 3, the new bar begins as soon as we know the final value of the previous bar.** So using our first chart example, the final closing value of the 08:00 – 09:00 period is the closing value of the 08:55 bar (on 5min chart), so the 08:55 value is where the new version 3 bar begins. The version 2 bar uses future data as default. You can see examples of this where the orange ellipses are on the chart above. Remember, the purple line is charting the high of the current period, but with version 2 the high of that hour is painted on the chart before that highest value is reached, as highlighted in orange. Using the high value from our security function at any of those highlighted points would give us inaccurate back testing results because our indicator would essentially be looking into the future. So what are the practical implications of this? Well, it means if you’re using version 2 you’re going to get inaccurate back test results because of the future data issue, which is the main reason this was changed for version 3. If you’re using version 3, however, that’s not a magical fix either. For instance if you’re using an hourly chart and pulling the daily data with the security function, the “daily” value last Wednesday will actually be using the values from last Tuesday. So with our examples of using the period “high”, it will be possible for the current hourly high to be above the security data’s daily high, because it’s using the previous day high. Difference between real time and historical data Everything we’ve talked about so far has been dealing with historical data. Real time data for both version 2 and version 3 work the same way and work correctly. That is to say if you’re using a 5min chart and pull the data from the hourly with security, then the real time data from the security function will match the real time data from an hourly chart. But how does that work if the version 3 data uses the value from the previous period? Well, as soon as you plot security values in a chart you’ll notice that the newest bar value will change. As soon as new data starts getting painted it will switch from the previous period’s value to the current value. For example, this is a minute chart plotting the 3 minute high via the security function. Purple values are version 2, green are version 3, and you’ll see as soon as we hit real time data (when we clicked “add to chart”, signified by the pink dotted line) the 2 are identical. The version 3 data switches from lagging by 1 period to real time, and the version 2 line stops using future data. But this is where repainting comes into play. This is the same chart moments later, after refreshing the indicators. Now they will again show both indicators in their historical form. The version 2 purple line is using future data again, and the version 3 green line is lagging again. Simply using version 3 is not enough to avoid repainting, if that’s what you’re trying to do. So what do we do? Well, how you deal with this depends on what you’re trying to do. What I’ve tried to do is explain exactly how it’s behaving and why. How you then use that is up to you. There’s nothing “wrong” about any of this data or behaviour as long as you understand what’s happening. For those of you trying to match up automation with back testing or just current values with back testing, bear in mind that these discrepancies are due to the differences between how real time and historical data are handled in the security function. If you’re comfortable with only ever using the most recently closed bar from the higher timeframe, use version 3 and you can simply add to the end of your expression within the security function, and all these problems go away; no repainting, no future data used, real time data matches historical data. You just have to embrace the lag.

Specurtacular Over the last 5 years, Spectur has been involved in a process of constant development. Our wireless security camera design is the result of millions of hours of real-world experience, in one of the world’s most hostile and arid environments Spectur have moved well since my last idea was published moving out of thew base at peaking up 61% before resetting in the current flag pattern. Over recent sessions demand volume has reduced considerably signalling that few sellers are prepared to reduce exposure here. The share price is currently at 38c where it has previously found support. This support also represents the 0.5 fib adding to the value attributed as a likely turning point. With the company recently announcing the filing of three new patents targeting fugitive methane emissions, thermal imaging and LIDAR applications it has become clear that this is not your run of the mill CCTV play. The increasing distribution network and new family of technology support the probability of strong news flow over the coming months which is why the current set up represents opportunity. I have held since IPO and will continue to do so based on the strength of the fundamentals until significantly above the current chart based target of 61c with a pseudo stop loss at 34c . As a TA trade this has potential for a 60% move on a risk reward basis of 5.75

Gemalto a faded GemGemalto is a leader in the numeric security. In the last years has fallen like a meteorite. With mass adoption of cryptos it will be of incredible importance the security of our little bitcoins, bitsiblings and bitdata. They understood that and if Ledger (not the joker, the start up) make a partnership with Gemalto, Gemalto knows and have something to offer to this immense business. Moreover they are working on the future IoT and UBS changed his opinion on the share three weeks ago from neutral to buy. Look at the charts. We are now oversold. If Gemmy is oversold have tendence to make decent bounces (end october 2014 to april 2015 + 20%). MACD support a possible reversal. The tiny double bottom (september 17 and now) further support a possible reversal. High volume in the lasts months speaks for a war between polar bears and ragings bulls. someone will win. Good charts and good theories make a bounce more than possible. That give us the possibility to make some profit and understand if Gemalto can play an important role in this new economy of crypto stuffs and fly high for very long. BIO

October 10 Earnings: Barracuda - The Security Growth Story Barracuda Networks has been on a stellar trend since they revamped their storage and SMB offerings in 2015. The company's share price has gained over 250% since lows. Barracuda's latest offering, Barracuda Sentinel, is helping boost subscribers to over 335K as of its latest release. The company is expected to grow 2018 sales over 7% and 2019 at over 9%, with conservative estimates. Cloud Security services are expected to grow at over 25% CAGR through 2022, allowing Barracuda to capitalize on subscriber growth. Email Security, the company's strong suit is expected to grow around 7% through 2020, retaining consumers. The number 1 risk is competition. The market is an incredibly dense one with the likes of: Proofpoint $PFPT Cisco Systems $CSCO Microsoft $MSFT Symantec $SYMC Mimecast $MIME Among others, all expected to grow security and cloud offering in double digits through FY 2019. I believe the reward outweighs the risk for the to-be-reported quarter and start Barracuda with a $30.00 PT. PT is 2-3 months, allowing for greater price flexibility.

Siacoin Rudimentary Elliott Wave Pattern - Long TradeHere we see a basic Elliott Wave Pattern where wave 2(corrective wave) has not retraced 100% to wave 1, wave 3 is clearly the longest, wave 4 has not retraced to the top of wave 1, and wave 4 (corrective wave), appears to be yielding to wave 5, which is potentially the final impulse wave. Siacoin features longer addresses which are cryptographically more secure with longer strings of characters, as compared to standard BTC and other types of digital asset addresses. This is possibly my favorite little guy in the digital asset world today. Those who picked it up at 40 Satoshis are rockin'.

MAID 5-10% LONG for next 6 HoursWoke up this morning and MAID was one of few coins not a 24H high, but there is a nice consolidation in play for the next couple of hours that will see it shoot to 15000 over the next 6 hours IMO. Got some good people telling me this will be good in the long term at Beta and Release stages but for the moment there is a short term opportunity Need to be quick on this one traders to get in before the break upwards. Stay focused and trade to trade well
