TTD trade ideas
mentors5.3.20 some training, mentors, video courses that I have experienced in my past... as a response to questions I have received from followers. (I said one guy offered a chat service for $100 per hour....that is wrong...it was1$100 per month....Sorry about that...and I did not think it was worth it for me ).
TTD5.2.20 TTD equity. This is a great market to use the tools that I like to use. I am a little uncomfortable that I talked about a Spike which are probably better used on much smaller time frames, and to the extent that it is an algorithm, there is a lot of subjectivity around it. Since I decided not to redo the video, just look at spikes for entertainment purposes for now until you decide to work with them, and then work through the issues.
TTD Ascending Channel$TTD has been a real winner over the last few years. The company is firing on all cylinders and earnings have reflected that. The company offers a software platform used by digital ad buyers to purchase data-driven digital advertising campaigns across various ad formats and devices. And, their fast growing segment is connected TV (CTV) which is still very much in the early innings.
Let's see how it holds up given the overall current market conditions. If it does breakdown out of the channel, it could easily get back to around $180, where we've seen good support a few times over the last year.

Seems to obvious...TTD is painting such a strong cup and handle breakout pattern here that it feels like one of those trades EVERYONE sees, which brings the skeptical contrarian in myself to the table...
None the less the setup is looking beautiful. Currently a short term pull back at new highs, the sell-off yesterday was bought up during the day. Volume has been lower during the consolidation period vs the previous impulse higher. Per "rule" I'd expect once TTD breaks out out over 290, it could sale up to around $400.
Threw in the rising wedge formation though...typically a more bearish pattern, and something to be aware if there is either
1. A breakdown below it could see price find support around 258 or 232 near the 200 MA.
2. A breakout and then potential retest of the break before moving higher based off the wedge.
