So, where do we go from here?

This is the DOW Jones Index. Will we climb over the wall of resistance OR fall back down?

King...for a Day

I'm very excited to be Ranked 1 out of 21 in the Teacher's Game this morning. But this could change very quickly...

I was disappointed that we won't be meeting this Thursday. I was planning on setting up the teams and giving you your account LogIns. However, we will need to wait until next week. The market is correcting right now, so it may not be the best time to buy. As you can see below, there are only 3 people out of 21 that have more money than when they started. So, you should be in good shape by the time you "jump in".

Candlestick Review and Quiz

We talked about a reversal candlestick today in class. One example is the "Hammer" (or Hanging Man):

Hammer and Hanging Man Candlestick example from StockCharts.com

Hammer and Hanging Man Candlestick example from StockCharts.com

The Hammer usually reverses a downtrend in price into an uptrend, showing a change in price momentum, where the "bulls" overtake the "bears":

On the other hand, there is the "Shooting Star" candle:

The Shooting Star usually reverses an uptrend in price into an downtrend, showing a change in price momentum, where the "bears" take over the "bulls".

NOW, just today on the NASDAQ Index, there were some clear reversing candles during the day. Each candlestick represents a 10 minute period during the day.

1) HOW MANY REVERSING CANDLES CAN YOU FIND? (HINT: there isn't more than 5)
2) HOW MANY "HAMMERS" AND HOW MANY "SHOOTING STARS"?

UPDATE: I posted the NASDAQ Index from 2/24, BUT it was a dynamic link. So, the chart updated on 2/25 for the current day. I reposted the historical chart I wanted you to see, so you should guess again:

For example: 4 Reversing Candles= 1 Hammer & 3 Shooting Stars
