Equity Oracle: 02/23/2012

In this week’s Equity Oracle, we take a look at Astex Pharmaceuticals (ASTX). This is a very affordable stock that is bouncing off of a key support level. I’ve labeled the target price around the $2.80 area. Once the stock gets to that point you would sell your shares and move to cash. We are shooting for a […]

Equity Oracle: 02/17/2012

If you have been following my reports, you’ll know that one of my favorite strategies is Trading the Gap. Right now we are perfectly set up for a breakout to the upside. The volume was up yesterday, the gap at 12.81 has filled, and now that that gap has filled it displayed a textbook pivot point as the buyers […]

There are many price patterns that we can find on the candle charts but only a handful are as reliable as the Triangle or Wedge pattern. The idea behind this trading strategy is really very simple.
