Base and Break trade on newsletter selection STP


Classic example of how we approximate trades and illustrate well our mantra of always buying the first break of the base (in this example base broke at 11 and was a buy anywhere to 11.2). As you know base and break set-ups are often 1 point under the alert on stocks that range from $40-$80 but it's rare to see such a low-priced stock set-up so well 1 point under the alert.



This demonstrates that the speculative juices are still alive and well in the current bear market rally. In a bull market when dogs start to run it usually is a toppish indicator. However, in a bear market the reverse is true: risk-avid behavior is coming back into the market
and that's a good thing if you're a bull. We'll have to see if this type of action continues past the end of quarter window.
