    And FB shoots off to the moon - who da thunk it

    AH..., post earnings -> reached a hi of 107 and change..., currently resting at 105 and change (I'll post a chart at this at the end)

    ===============================

    Think I've run my course with this thread

    First some acknowledgements

    To those who posted buy.., buy..., buy - for whatever reason..., or no reason at all - congrats

    To MarcoPolo - you're a trader - I expect nothing less ;)

    ==================

    I've been posting charts here for most of January..., my goals


    Show PA could be read..., that accurate context could be created

    I think I've proved it can..., and I think I've done it long enough..., and with enough accuracy and consistency - that anyone would be hard pressed to call it luck

    Aside

    The more accurate you can read price - the more accurate you can create context

    The more accurate you can create context - the more accurately you can gauge / measure current PA

    Forecasting is for pundits...,idiots..., and not what TA was ever meant for


    Oh..., and btw - Price can be read on any TF - as clearly..., and and accurately..., as I have been doing here on the 240

    ============

    Patience..., Neutral-ness..., Risk management

    All vital to consistency and longevity in this business

    Think I demonstrated these

    ======================

    TA - my definition: anything found on..., derived off- a chart

    PA - a subset of TA

    I think I've proven PA / TA works - beyond luck..., beyond any doubt..., beyond question

    ==================


    So - should you be an aspiring trader and happen upon this thread - take heart

    It can be done - all of it - every damn bit - so luck..., happenstance..., the not knowing..., no longer factor in

    btw - not knowing is a damn sight different than uncertainty - uncertainty is our one fact of life (get comfortable..., learn to thrive with it..., and in it)

    But not knowing (what the hell am I doing.., and why..., and when..., and for how long..., and in which direction) can certainly be eliminated


    Don't get discouraged..., don't allow the naysayers to dissuade..., rattle..., or derail you

    It ain't that hard..., it ain't that complicated...., and it damn sure ain't rocket science - I'm a simpleminded..., dumbass redneck after all..., I get it

    You certainly can too


    Keep your head down.., and keep chipin away - I won't lie - it does take commitment..., and it does take work (new language to learn..., new skills to develop..., new way of thinking & acting to assimilate)

    But anything worth having..., is worth working for - and it makes it all that much more special when you get there

    :)

    ================================

    Okay the chart of the AH earnings


    Yellow circle - hi of the after hrs move

    Red / green arrows - where price sits now (almost smack dab in the middle of that range (big rectangle) made oh so many day ago)

    Ain't TA / PA a hoot



    Trade well All - win.., lose.., or draw

    Always keep the losers small

    We all have em - please know..., losing trades are just as much a part of successful and consistent trading..., as are the trades the work

    Manage each - its all good

    ======================

    LWC

    Tag.., you're it Sir.., carry on
