During the rally, there was relatively no overlap of the real bodies of the candlesticks and the shadows were small. Despite the relatively steep angle of the move, it was an easy trade to manage.<br /><br />What I mean by responding to key technicals levels is support/resistance, pivot points, moving averages and gaps. For example when a momo stock fills an open gap, everyone is watching and they jump in because it is a key technical level. That's why MA started to rally as soon as its Nov. 10th gap was filled to the penny. Also, look at RIMM last week, it rallied from support of its rising 50 day MA.<br /><br />That's a primer for now. Keep reading the blog and you'll get a better feel for it soon.TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294634341130531371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19713238.post-13442511842823454262006-12-20T22:53:00.000-05:002006-12-20T22:53:00.000-05:00Jamie,

After reviewing the daily timframe, I noticed that average daily volume had doubled since the beginning of November so I added it to my momentum watch list.<br /><br />My momo list includes such stocks as RIMM, AKAM, AAPL, NVDA, CAL, X, NYX, ICE, CELG, GROW, FFIV, BIDU. These stocks tend to trade in a more orderly fashion and thus respond to key technical levels.TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294634341130531371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19713238.post-77223001642425778242006-12-20T17:48:00.000-05:002006-12-20T17:48:00.000-05:00Jamie,

Once the trade was well underway, I moved my stop every 15 minutes. Everytime a bar completed itself, I moved my stop a few pennies below the low of the last completed 15 minute bar. I watched closely as price came into resistance at $96.00, but it barely paused at this level. Notice how each volume bar is stronger and stronger. Protect you profit by moving the stop up every 15 minutes. This is a good strategy for novice traders especially in late day trade setups.<br /><br />Played this one again today. Chart later this evening.TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294634341130531371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19713238.post-60607824942285738262006-12-20T12:15:00.000-05:002006-12-20T12:15:00.000-05:00were you planning on holding MA to the close?
