FAQs Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I get the basic concept of finding a prior low in a pattern and then waiting till the current price drops below the prior low and buy it as it rallies back above. What’s the overall context in which these moves work best? How do you decide which ones are most likely to succeed?

A: They tend to work best in leading stocks, and usually coincide with a market pullback or correction where the market bottoms and turns back to the upside at the same time. That is not always the case, however, but I've found that the highest velocity to the upside is usually seen when they occur in conjunction with a market turn off the lows. As an example, look at TTD the week of 5-13-19.
