Swing Trade Idea in PHM!We really like to keep our charts simple and momentum in price action is the most important thing to us. One of my favorite setups is a squeeze because it allows me to get into a stock or option before the large move has been made. This is obviously really nice when you trade with options because of the greeks and implied volatility starts working for you. Here is some brief bullet points on why we like this setup:
- This stock has consolidated back to the 21 day moving average after a very bullish move.
- The price is in a squeeze and is starting to fire out of that squeeze to the upside
- There was good volume on the move higher today
My strategy is based on swing trading stocks and options. My hold time averages around 8 days, but can go as long as 3 months depending on momentum and price action. Please make sure to have an exit strategy in place at all times no matter how good a setup looks...anything can happen!
Squeeze
BTC prediction for next 4-6 weeksReadjusting Bitcoin's lifetime dynamic support for the dips in Sept., Dec., and this recent January dip....it's plausible we are actually still in a consolidation period that could be drawn out for the next 4-6 weeks before a major decision point must be reached.
This newfound stability and consolidation makes sense given the broader exposure of BTC and the addition of multiple futures markets.
After this period BTC's price action will move up or down, which is anyone's guess, but the move will be drastic and than is for sure!
XRP to $0.70, then breaking upward out of channelXRP will continue to fall to its 786 fib, where it also shares support with the MA(100) @ $0.70. Near Jan 21st, XRP will enter a TTM squeeze and break positive out of the channel upward out of the downward channel by the 23rd. It may bounce off of $1.00 and out but I would find this highly unusual and overall detrimental to the stability of the coin.
Upvote if you agree, I'm new :)
XRP - Betting the squeezeA little birdy on the wire told me that Ripple was going to be adopted by Amazon! With that news coming at the same time BCC/BCH being sh!t and BTC taking a dive didn't react as I expected it to. However I think this will be the indicator of what happens next.
In my own opinion I believe in the LONG there's no way but up for this coin no matter how long mainstream adoption may take. Watch for the markers of a break out either way.
Squeeze + EMA (new to this)Hi.
I started out drawing an EMA. I added a second one and then I created a strategy that buys and sells when the EMA's are crossing.
Trying out this strategy on many markets showed me around a 30% profit, I think I should be able to do better then that. Can I?
A lot of the trades were being made during times where the marked wasn't moving around a lot (but the EMA's kept crossing), so I wanted to filter these out.
I had read that If you create a Bollinger Band and a Keltner Channel, those two may form a "Squeeze" to indicate when the marked is changing or staying the same, so I implemented those too.
Now I've set the strategy to only buy when the market is changing and when it's upwards and to sell whenever it goes downwards (EMA's crossing).
How am I doing on this, it being my first trading stragy/algorithm/indicators?
Any comments and advice are welcome.
semi-long.. Breakout Play.. The last little run was on news, however it held its gains, earnings come out in two weeks, it has been closing the squeeze for about a month now. I feel like it will breakout soon, then spend a few days gaining. I'm in at 1.67, it did drop a little today but still within the lines of the flag. We will see how it plays out.. Anyone else on this one?
I say semi-long, because it could be two weeks before it breaks, and could take a week to complete the gains.. To some that could be short term, definitely shorter than I held DDD for the breakout.
Q - Breakout squeezed Q looks of big interest squeezed in the wedge this one might go to earnings but i will be in before if it breaks, recent bottom on the inverse and count leads me with preference to upside but either way im in
The State of Gambling in Crypto ( indicator: Clam / Clams )Clam / Clams is an old "concept-coin" distributed free to bitcoin/litcoins/doge holders who wanted it, proportionally to how many other coins they already got
But thats about all!
The developer github.com seems to run a dice/casino website for it. (Which made it to the top 1 million websites in the world, at least something, that clamcoin.org itself did not achieve. And there were zero news posted on the site...)
Gamblers gonna gamble?
Dont short squeeze and long squeeze eachother. It is evil

Poloniex acts like a casino according to CLAM, to keep this on margin trading still while dropping other coins from the market completely that are still more actively developed.
So this coin may be the first people will escape from,

While i hope you appreciate the information above and mind the gambling factor in crypto,
this is no trading advice and you may seriously have better to do than trading clam.
