I don't subscribe to americanbulls. The free stuff is enough for me.
I only use it for TNA and TZA, and in the time I've been watching it, TNA has always been a HOLD and TZA has always been a WAIT. It may be awhile before I experience enough to form a valid opinion.
I like Japanese Candlesticks in general, and I understand the basics. I am blessed and cursed with a memory that fades fast, and I like the reinforcement of reading an official interpretation of the candles.
I put it in the category of “another information source”, which I can use or ignore. Seems like it will be great in a trending environment (like we are in now) and quite painful to follow when it's choppy (which could start any time).
I think TZA finds a bottom (at least for a while) this next week. I looked at buying TZA calls right before close but instead bought a teeny tiny amount of SRS calls because the premium looked better.
Daneric thinks we can go higher, and we can, but I think $RUT is tired from leading the charge and will take a breather first. Other sectors like health care can catch up. Maybe the dow, too.
Summary: The candles today cancelled the possible buy and possible sell of yesterday.
TNA is a HOLD (wait for a possible SELL-IF signal after the close on Monday, for a possible sell at some point Tuesday). Today was a White Candlestick, indicating a normal up day. TNA is now up 40% since the buy signal on Feb 9th. TNA was $36.69 at the time, and closed today at $51.50
TZA is a WAIT (wait for a possible BUY-IF signal after the close on Monday, for a possible buy at some point Tuesday). Today was a Black Candlestick, indicating a normal down day. TZA is now down 30% since the sell signal on Feb 9th. TZA was $11.04 at the time, and closed today at $7.70.
Hi Earl – where you see the rating for TNA and TZA on the site ?

How do you like AmericanBulls? I had subscription for a while. Did not bank coin.
In maybe 4 afternoons, you can learn good candles…not just “doji's”, highly suggest anyone do it. It is so old school that it is new school.
SC,
Nicely said. It's a keeper 🙂
I'm growing more fond of Carl's views all the time 🙂
Carl Futia is a veteran trader, PhD economist, etc. He posts his trades online, which takes guts. Since last March, he's been really good.
Tried to post this earlier, but it got clobbered by disqus:
Is it time for TZA?

Dreadwin… thanks for posting you thoughts by the way. I need to see both sides to become a better trader.
Days like today are why I recommended Carl's site to you all. During an uptrend, he's really good.
27 points of /ES is $1350. Just sayin'.
