Black Swan Chart Formation!

This is a very dangerous formation, as detailed in Nassim Talebs book" The Black Swan" . Traders should be very careful anytime this chart appears . . . . . . . . . . . . Yes, its a joke.

Here is the Original post from blackchip at Elite Trader.

The swan looks like a duck in fact (just joking). It seems you have read the book. I have read critics review of the book. It seems Nasim Taleb does not believe in statistics. Is it so?

The trick is to enter these stocks on a 4% plus breakout after a consolidation. if the entry is successful, we can catch the start of a new uptrend.So we are looking for yearly growth of 100% plus , 10 to 20 day weakness or consolidation, and a 4% plus high volume breakout.

Position sizing: use 10 % of the capital on a single trade and never lose more than 10% inclusive of brokerage on any trade. Never Lose more than 1% of your capital on any trade

Stops: Initial stop is pre breakout days low .Time stop of 5 days.( If the price is not going up above the entry price within 5 days , just get out).if Price appreciates more than 10% trail with 2 days low stop.

If you find too many stocks in breakout list use these to short list.

A) Prefer a smooth chart.
B) Closeness to year high is good
C) Prefer the one with high volume
D) Absence of recent 4% downward breakout is good
E) Preference for first breakout after consolidation
F) Small capital base
G) Institutional holding
H) Sector with high relative strength
I) Clear catalysts like

" Result announcement
" Bonus/Split announcement
* Sales Acceleration
* New Orders
* New Product
* Regulatory Policy Change etc.

Trading is all about probabilities, never certainties.If you are familiar with some patterns or other indicators which can turn the odds in your favor , use it. I will be posting the breakout list regularly.short list and trade at your own risk.

Hello Nick
I run the basic scan in Amibroker. Very sorry . I am not familier with Fibotrader and i dont know how to do it.I think you can do it yourself if you understand the concept.

Basic frame work of every working trading system are Stock,entry,exit and risk selection process. Stock selection is the most important.If you are trading a long only system , you need to select the stock that has the highest probability of going up in the respective time frame.Think about those factors and incorporate it in your stock screening method.

Visit the sites of Bulkowski the authority of chart patterns and Dan Zanger another chart pattern trader. Compare their trading performance.Dan is making triple digit returns year after year where Bulkowski is not performing well.Why ?
Let me quote Dan
"I combine these patterns with stocks that have unusually higher rates of growth and low number of shares that float. For the average stock I list, growth rates must be up at least 40% for both earnings and revenues growth for their most recent quarters and most stocks that I list have growth rates up 80, 90, 100 and sometimes up 200% and more. It's these high growth rates combined with stocks that have low number of shares that float that make them so explosive."

Stock Selection is the key.

No , I have not read it. From a traders point of view , it may not be of much use , I think ( From the reviews)
