Quick question.

Would you trade this VCP pattern in the making? Yes/No? And, why?

To all those who are saying No because the current market ain't right for upside breakout trades, please look at the timeline of the picture. It is from 2016/17 when almost every stock exploded.
The majority answered Yes but for me, it's a NO. I'd pass this 2T VCP/CnH because even though the 2nd U shape is smaller in size by 70% but this U formed at a huge distance away from the 50 DMA line a.k.a EXTENDED.

1/n
The odds of profiting from the get-go are much better when breakouts happen 'closer' to 50dma.

As you can see in the picture, the price stayed sideways until the line caught-up with the price. Had you traded this breakout, you would have sat on a dead trade for 5-6 weeks

2/n
After covering the distance, when that same bloody formation was spotted, look at the result yourself. This is an eye-opener for everyone who said YES and for everyone who said no for a different reason.

3/n
After I pointed out this mistake my trainee was committing, his number of bad trades dropped by a whopping 90%. And imagine the losses which he is saving now.

Time to save yourself from such great looking set-ups which are not really great.

Chk your past trades & the entry point. Out of all the trades, how many trades were already extended when you entered?

In my entire trading experience, I have seen the majority making this mistake. Let me knw how much you could have saved. I bet the number will be HUGE!

Fake chats claiming to be from the Irish African community are being disseminated by the far right in order to suggest that violence is imminent from #BLM supporters. This is straight out of the QAnon and Proud Boys playbook. Spread the word. Protest safely. #georgenkencho


There is co-ordination across the far right in Ireland now to stir both left and right in the hopes of creating a race war. Think critically! Fascists see the tragic killing of #georgenkencho, the grief of his community and pending investigation as a flashpoint for action.


Across Telegram, Twitter and Facebook disinformation is being peddled on the back of these tragic events. From false photographs to the tactics ofwhite supremacy, the far right is clumsily trying to drive hate against minority groups and figureheads.


Declan Ganley’s Burkean group and the incel wing of National Party (Gearóid Murphy, Mick O’Keeffe & Co.) as well as all the usuals are concerted in their efforts to demonstrate their white supremacist cred. The quiet parts are today being said out loud.


The best thing you can do is challenge disinformation and report posts where engagement isn’t appropriate. Many of these are blatantly racist posts designed to drive recruitment to NP and other Nationalist groups. By all means protest but stay safe.
