    The only formation I can say I regularly look for, confirm and have traded on successfully even would be the double touch thing where its a strong signal to buy or sell depending on the direction.
    Ive heard of cup and handle but cant say I know it really, think I need to source a chart with more detail to see that one. Nice rise today though :)

    As a permabear I have to admit I thought at least a small retraction would be on the cards as we come back to four figures on the sp500. 1000 is also a pivot for a move higher apparently, going on last autumns spikey bits

    The price of white sugar is reaching highs, explains tate partially. Note to self, allways pays to check the underlying market when trading a resource based share.
    Tate is a former ftse100 company and could reenter, trackers can buy ahead sometimes I believe though I dont know the next index meeting, etc


    Im thinking yahoo is actually giving out live price info on the indexes now? It was an option sometimes previously

    Like STT says I have no idea about good shapes for the charts etc. I buy if I think it'll be going up. That's what it all comes down to eh?
    I'm pleased if the chart shape apparently makes it more likely to happen but it all hinges on those permits in my eyes.
    I'm hoping they're as likely as the company seem to think, as like you, I've been in on these more than once. Three times so far!

    Not tips as such but this board gives some ideas and top class analysis by contributors, I think they tend towards small caps.

    Second day running of over 3m volume, three times the norm. (Looks like 4m probable today)
    Price up quite a bit for second day running.


    Time to get excited? :confused:
