OUR SHORTHAND DEFINITIONS

Created by Nick Cavallo, Modified on Sun, 2 Feb at 8:43 AM by Nick Cavallo

These definitions are critical for getting the most value from our Discord community. Here is the brief definitions of the shorthand we use when posting stock information:



WILD: WE NOTICE SOMETHING PUT ON EXTENDED WATCHLIST

MOVE: SLIGHT MOVEMENT OF PRICE KEEP AN EYE ON IT

PARABOLIC: PARABOLIC MOVEMENT

CURL: PRICE ACTION RECENTLY DROPPED AND NOW IS STARTING TO CURL UP

ABCD: BULL PATTERN FORMING

HEAVY: MEANS THAT THE STOCK'S FLOAT IS LARGER THAN WE TYPICALLY LIKE TO TRADE. AS A RULE OF THUMB IF A STOCK IS OVER 17 MILLION FLOAT WE CONSIDER IT A HEAVY FLOAT.

HI TEST: PRICE ACTION IS TESTING HIGH OF DAY

PRINTED: IMPLIES A GREEN TRADE - THE PERSON WHO SAYS IT MADE MONEY ON THE TRADE

BARCODING: TIGHT RANGE OF TRADING FORMS A LOOK ON THE CHART SIMILAR TO BARCODES. USUALLY MEANS THAT MM'S ARE MANIPULATING THE PRICE ACTION BECAUSE OF LOW VOLUME. DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS TO TRADE USUALLY BECAUSE OF LACK OF LIQUIDITY
