    Wonder whats up with SKC? Must be positive news out soon or just window dressing?
    Having got ourselves into a debt-induced economic crisis, the only permanent way out is to reduce the debt – either directly by abolishing large slabs of it, or indirectly by inflating it away.

    Default Chart Update.

    Red arrows mark SELL signals and Green arrows mark BUY signals.

    See how well these simple technical indicators are working. They got you out of SKC very close to the high when the uptrend ran out of steam and got you back in again just after the low when the subsequent downtrend weakened and ended.

    A note of caution, though. See how, while the uptrend is still very much intact, volume is falling. This fact is reflected by the On Balance Volume plot. The OBV is commonly one of the very first indicators to fire, but you can see that in this case it has still not been triggered even though every other indicator featured here gave Buy signals days ago. The uptrend appears to be losing momentum and should be monitored quite closely.

    MvT regards all this as akin to examining chicken entrails and about as useless. Silly man!

    Quite simple really the chart shows the price at approx $4-10 it is now $3-92. Go to direct broking web site and play about with super charts. The charts only show you where the price has been with an indication of where it might go next, its up to you to work out if the signal is worth following up on. You will find in falling markets quite a high percentage of false buy signals. Macdunk

    Default SKC Chart update.

    Hi Naylz,
    Since triggering those Buy signals, SKC has tracked sideways. This should not surprise us too much in view of the falling volume (marked by blue line) we had already noted. This is similar to the situation last October when falling volume (blue line again) showed us that the uptrend was running out of steam. The OBV simply presents this same information in a slightly different manner. The absence of OBV confirmation at the time of the other Buy signals was directly caused by this lack of attendant volume. The OBV has now broken its trendline (circled) but this was done without any real conviction by the OBV merely tracking sideways.

    This is just another reminder that the end of a downtrend does not necessarily mean the beginning of an uptrend. Stocks can go into trading ranges that sometimes persist for a long time before an uptrend begins (or the downtrend resumes!)

    To make those buy signals "right", price action would need to go above point (2) which would give a higher high after a higher low and thus an uptrend, so at that point can we say that the downtrend has ended.

    To make those buy signals "wrong", price action would need to drop below point (1) making a new lower low and continuing the downtrend. Until either of those conditions are met, SKC should probably be presumed to be in a trading range.

    Phaedrus, how do you deal with a chart that busts down through its up - trend line when the stock goes ex-dividend?

    For example, ENV Envestra, went ex a 4% dividend today, and the price action broke a confirmed up trend line as a result. Do you adjust all the price data to take it into account, or is a broken trendline a broken trend line?

    RTW,
    The usual practice is to correct price data for dividends. If this was not done, there would be the likelihood of false Sell signals being triggered when stocks went ex div.

    thats optimistic of you Bricks. theres always the possibility that this is a corrective triangle forming which is in fact generally a continuation pattern. 3:50 and 4:00 are critical levels now.
    For clarity, nothing I say is advice....
