Service Charts provided as needed and ON DEMAND for investors, traders and analysts who need a reliable, grounded source for technical interpretation of stocks and markets relevant to their areas of interest. Here are actual examples of the service you will receive.
Easy as 1-2-3
1) Determine your objectives 2) Detail your instructions in PayPal's handy notes box 3) Order the chart(s) that best fulfill your objectives Overview At the suggestion of readers of the Biiwii.com Technical Analysis blog, we are pleased to present a new service for our visitors. Technical Analysis ON DEMAND is an efficient way for you to receive only the annotated charts you want, when you want them. In our view technical analysis is more art than science and should be used as a back up to fundamental analysis of macroeconomics, individual markets and/or stocks. Of particular importance to us is whether a particular stock or market is trending and if so, how strongly. Additionally, we are always on the look out for divergence that can give hints of oncoming trend changes. Another aspect of our TA style is that we look for confluence in our indicators; we are always happy to see several different indicators pointing to a common potential conclusion. It is important to consider different time frames when charting. This gives the analyst a wider canvas on which to paint a picture of the prospects for a given stock or market. For our own purposes we generally use daily (near term view), weekly (medium term) and monthly (big picture) charts but 60, 30 and on down to 1 minute charts are available as well. As a stockcharts.com subscriber, we have full access to what many believe to be the premier charting service in the world. Please keep in mind that requested symbols must be recognized by stockcharts.com. You can use this box to test if you are in doubt: A less definable aspect of our style involves experience. After five years of intensive charting, we have a feel for certain shapes and formations and often get an intuition such as "hmmm, seen this before". We realize that black magic is not everyone's cup of tea, so this "tool" is only used as a back up to everything else. But the truth is, there are certain patterns and shapes that, when identified, give us a leg up. The viewer should know we are not unbiased when it comes to charting. Readers of the TA blog know that in practice we are bottom feeders and risk managers. Hence our strength is not in momentum plays or in trying to define how high something that is already strenuously over bought will go. We want to find the NEXT break out play BEFORE the other guy and we want to sell to take profits (or limit loss) at appropriate times. TA is invaluable in this regard. Finally, if you have followed the blog and website for a while you know we are very sensitive to ratios between markets and indicators. An example is the Dow-Gold ratio which would help define whether a nominal rise in stocks is also of the 'real' variety and not simply the result of currency devaluation. Gold-Silver, Gold-Oil and the various yield curve ratios are other examples. There is literally a world of possibilities out there in inter-market analysis.
Examples of Charts You May Order
Note that charts will include our 'editorial' comments/observations as applicable unless otherwise specified. Also, please specify any details upon which you would like us to focus (ex: momentum divergence vs. trend, patterns such as wedges & triangles and/or support & resistance). You may also wish to note something to the effect of "Gary, I am looking for an entry level on stock XYZ. What do you see on the daily and also could you back me up with a weekly view for a bigger picture? And while you're at it, I need a weekly on the ABC sector index that XYZ is a component of."
Note that we are not proficient nor particularly interested in candle stick (exceptions being gaps and the odd hammer or engulfing) or Elliot Wave analysis. While we know how to spot significant candles and can count 1-2-3-4-5 and recite our A-B-C's, our home grown 'keep it simple' approach to trends, support, resistance, momentum and divergence works best for our needs. More tips on successfully using the service are here.

Real World Case Studies:
FTEK: Ascending Triangle target hit - Short via Put Options
While we are not day traders and do not promote the use of this service for day trading, a recent real world example of how charting can guide a trader to short term gains occurred on the blog June 20th & 21st 2007 as our former undiscovered gem (originally purchased at around $5 in 2004 upon ID of a nice rounded bottoming pattern), Fuel Tech (FTEK) broke out of a classic ascending triangle, hit our target and provided us with an 89% gain in 15 minutes of actual holding (puts) during normal market hours. Was there luck involved? Oh yes. Did the charts play a significant role? Oh yes. ZOLL: Bottoms at Support w/ Bullish Divergence - Long in a Managed Account Here is the chart with which we highlighted Zoll Medical (ZOLL) in June '07 as it was bottoming amid bullish divergence at a strong support zone. Three weeks later we find ZOLL turning up and heading toward our noted resistance areas. Charts alone may not get you where you are going, but they sure do provide some nice sign posts along the way. Frankly, we would not be without them.
BRL: Buy Inverted H&S at Neck Line, Sell Spike & Buy Again at Support Follow the links in this post from the TA blog to see how a stock, in this case Barr Labs (BRL) can be used for efficient trading by buying at support, especially with bullish divergence in place. The key is to be patient and let the chart do the work. MGN: Identify weekly falling wedge breakout and daily attempted breakout of lateral resistance and buy at 3.86 for a gain of 15% for day traders and 26% (thus far) for investors/swing traders. Buy MGN based on weekly and daily views that got us 'excited'. It turned out that the charts merely reflected (ahead of the news) the footprints of silver producer SLW buying a stake in MGN. MGN nears our target and finally hits target, at which point traders have a great short term trade and investors just may have picked off a nice silver/copper property on the cheap.
