Stock Alert and Chart Analysis: TSLA

-
Disclaimer

  In these stock alert and chart analysis posts, I want to highlight a security that is on fire for some reason. Either the security's chart looks amazing and/or social media is going nuts about it.

  If you need a technical analysis refresher click here, and if you want to learn how I trade breakouts click here.

  Okay, let's get to work!

Stock: TSLA, Tesla Motors, Inc.

Long-term Weekly Chart Technical Analysis:


TSLA is coming into and actually just past major weekly support. Friday is going to be critical for this chart. This could simply turn into a wick and bounce back to just above support before closing for the week tomorrow. Who knows.

A SpaceX space rocket just blew up prematurely today and destroyed a really expensive Facebook satellite that would've provided internet to sparsely populated areas around the globe. Sad, and for us, the chart is pretty scary. If TSLA doesn't hold 200 with vigor, it could get bloody IMHO.

Long-term Weekly Chart Gameplan:

TSLA broke below the trendline from early 2016 so that is bearish and suggests at least a short term bear trend/pull back. Add the fact the last several weeks have had bearish closes near lows and you got a bad situation for TSLA.

Short-term Daily Chart Technical Analysis:


Short-term Daily Chart Gameplan:

 TSLA blew past daily support today. Things are not looking good here either. I would not consider this a chart worth buying so I'm not going to analyze further, just a scary chart to be honest.

What are your thoughts on TSLA? Let's discuss it in the comments below. Many minds are always better than one!

Why Trading Stocks is the Best Therapy in the World

-
I’m writing this post in an effort to condense numerous lessons I've learned from several different sources I've studied in the course of trying to become a better trader. Trading options and futures is a zero sum game--there is a winner for every loser. Equity trading isn't much better. Moreover, most traders fail (you can also consult the Google for several research papers that further support this point). Failure invokes powerful emotions and memories, that, as a result, invoke future behavior that tries to avoid failure at all costs. Furthermore, fear and greed become more commonplace--which insidiously undermines traders by influencing them to avoid the very trading rules that gave them an edge in the market in the first place. Any edge in the market can be easily and effortlessly undone by emotion.

How to Perform F2G Technical Analysis

Disclaimer I use technical analysis instead of fundamental analysis to take as much money from the markets as possible for several reasons. The most important reason is that a stock's price chart reveals areas where I have a higher probability of making money. A close second reason is that "Only price pays" - Brian Shannon aka @AlphaTrends . Everything else is noise in my opinion. Lakai (the most successful futures trader I follow)  and many other successful traders ( especially Tim Grittani ) taught me to keep things simple and master your trading niche. These lessons helped me crush the trading competition at work by turning $100k into $214k in just two weeks! The closest competitor to me turned $100k into $169k! But back to why technical analysis is so essential to extracting money from the markets. For example, Apple could crush earnings and for some reason the stock sells off. This happens to many stocks every quarter, year in and year out. Why not cut out the
