Chart Patterns

Descending triangle

Pattern Description:

The descending triangle is a bearish formation that usually forms during a downtrend as a continuation pattern and indicates distribution. Once the horizontal line has been broken, the downside target should correspond to the height of the triangle, projected below the horizontal support line. While this pattern is in the process of formation, volume tends to be low but rises substantially on a break of the support line.

Elasticity Toolkit

The Elasticity toolkit was created to obtain maximum gains in both sideways and trending markets with minimum risk. Developed by Timothy Straiton, the system performs with incredible results in almost all equity markets with a daily periodicity. The Elasticity toolkit focuses on short-term market fluctuations and takes advantage of deviation or "elasticity" from the mean price. One could visualize the action of a rubber band being stretched and at the moment where the expansion loses momentum, a contraction takes place, forcing movement in the opposite direction. The Elasticity system opens a trade at the moment that deviation from the mean price loses momentum.

A Lesson in Trading Psychology

by Brett N. Steenbarger, Ph.D.

Back in 2004, I joined Kingstree Trading, LLC, a proprietary trading firm in Chicago. There, I had the good fortune to get to know--and observe--many successful traders at work. One lesson particularly stands out in my mind. A trader saw buying come into the market, and he quickly jumped on board.

Coeur Mining - a gold mining stock to watch

2025-08-09 by Tim Straiton

Coeur Mining (CDE) from $360 in May 1987 to $1.62 (March 2016)

This Chicago based gold mining company operates five mines located in North America. Coeur employs 2,200 people and in 2012 was the world's 9th largest silver producer. Coeur Mining is a typical example of a neglected and undervalued gold mining stock. The company quarterly financials are impressive. Revenue of $360 M (+69% Y/Y). Net income 33.5M (+214% Y/Y). The current price is $11.65 and trading well above the rising 200 day moving average of 7.03.

The bullish divergence captured on the MACD-V indicator which became apparent between 2010 and 2015 on the monthly chart suggests that more upside potential lies ahead.

On the daily chart a buy signal was triggered on the super trend indicator in April 2025 at $6.22 and remains valid with a ratchet stop loss level now at $10.05.
