Interesting watching this thread.
Comments from mostly Fundamental people.
Most technical people will be discretionary traders who are unlikely to hold long enough for moves which will rise 100s of %
Very large prolonged moves will ALWAYS come from long term slow declines or Sideways accumulation.
The will ALWAYS be a clear Breakout from these areas supported by Volume spikes AND an increase in overall volumes
Good moves will maintain an angle of 45 degrees in their move. This angle will often be evident over the life of the move.
You can maintain the life of the move through Volume and Elliot analysis.Topping in a longer range wave 5 will signal an end to the move.
The trick is to get on on the breakout which is rarely challenged in a great move and stay as long as the move has life.
It can be done and it can be done regularly.
Its a matter of taking trades which are small---so you don't panic on retracements.
If a trade revisits your trigger bar then sell and find another.
It wont take long and you'll have 5 to 10 of these in your stable chugging along.
don't be surprised if you get one or more FMG's over time.
I personally look for moves which break from consolidation or prolonged very slow down trends for a period of 2 yrs or 100 bars.
I use weekly charts
While the trading might not be sexy as in fast paced the potential profits will leave the gun traders gasping for breath and green with envy!
