Cdn Financials – Impressive performance continues on a down market day. Overbought continues overbought. US financials were not as strong. There is a search for value going on and in a market where money has been going too far into some ridiculously overpriced stocks this is a good place to be.

Ron/BC,
I listened to the YT video of Jason Leavitt that you recommended a few days ago. I found it interesting, especially his method of confirming a buy signal on a shorter time frame with one on a longer time frame and how this can avoid getting in too early, Too early being the choppy time period before there is actually a big move. I usually look at the longer time frame and then the shorter one. Over all, his method seems to be waiting for confirmation, whether from a higher time frame or a moving average kiss or cross or some such signal. Also, he emphasized basing the stop on the price chart, not on an indicator. I think his method lends itself to the buy on stop that I mentioned the other day on your AEM trade. This trade might qualify for buy on a retest of the break out, which I think is a method you favour.
Thanks for the suggesting the video.

I’ve often used “Buy on a Stop Limit” and of course with the “limit” word in there you may not get filled and just watch price jump up and run away from you. I can live with that as I’m not desperate to get long at any price anyways. I like cash and don’t have a problem with having it around. And there is always another trade around. But as I said price can gap up on the open way above resistance and you won’t get filled. And I always look at the pullback after a rally to see how it tests price support as one can often get filled there. And one can also get filled there and then see price breakdown as well,lol.
