Hi Van, All charts are (as I know you know), a graphical representation of the buys and sells and how it moves the price.
The whole point of a chart is that the company it represents is irrelevant. The patterns made suggest what is most likely to happen next.
Ultimately the co. in question will release new news which will then confirm or contradict what the chart has already implied.
So all a chart is doing is to potentially give a heads up to buyers or sellers what the next move is likely to be and therefore to get in ahead of the game.
Small caps like this are much more likely to be easily manipulated and I would not dream of day trading in fact any stock into the ftse 100. (I traded bond futures full time for a few years and the reason they are traded is because there is not enough money in any trading house big enough to influence the direction of travel. I was firmly told, for that reason not to trade even indicis like the FTSE 100 as they were too small in the grand scheme of things.
Anyhoo, I find that charts do in fact work pretty well for small caps in a broad sense that for me just keeping it ultra simple with support and resistance levels combined with the RSI (its the only indicator I use for any stock) allows me to time entry and exit levels. CPX looked to have good potential over a 3-9 month time frame so I got in I have added along the way. (If however it starts to fall below my stop then i will sell irrespective of how long I have held it._
My (THE) golden rule of preservation of capital is everything.
Anyway this morning it fell to .14 and as it bounced off so I topped up as that was a resistance point (I paid close to .15p but that ok. Whether or not that will be a good move only time will tell. And all it is, is an odds game, its always got two options, its just trying to divine which one is most likely and when you feel the odds are overwhelmingly in your favour, you react.
