Actionable Trade-Alert from Rick in the Trading Room (Please check all related discussion in the room before you do any trades.)12:58  RickNote to newbies and everyone else: ALL PATTERNS must use the following format if you want me to respond: 60-min chart, A=325.50 on 2/1 at 10:00 a.m. EST (if the pattern is obscure, you might also include a 'B' coordinate)13:0013:08  RickTSLA is the poorest performer on my list today, having vaporized an HP support at 407.54 that was equivalent to Krell metal 18 inches thick.13:12  RickCrude, whose lunatic-y dive on Monday didn't much affect my bullish outlook, is unavoidably bound for 67.46 (6o-min, A=60.14 on 1/27).13:17  RickMSFT is struggling for traction very precisely at p=408.45, but a breach of today's low would put it on course for 377.29 (30-min, A=483.33 on 1-28 at 4:00 p.m.)13:19  RickQQQ cannot possibly hold today's low because it is just 19 cents from the crucial clown low recorded on December 17.13:22  Nick the GreRick you are the best13:22  RickGOOG targeted on d=328.49, but the support has already been front-run because the pattern is somewhat obvious: 60m, a= 341.20 on 1/1313:25  RickNVDA is sickly and 'should have' reached 207.96. Instead, it is close to stopping out a 'textbook' mechanical buy at 178.67. That would occur on a 168.89 print.13:26  ncohrntkrell, lol13:33  DarrinHi Rick…I see that MSTR pattern … btw thanks for the tsla target bought some 407 puts first thing today and cashed out a nice profit. If you have a chance would you be able to take a quick look at Uber ? Thanks [{{ Why don't you look first and tell me what YOU see? Hint: My target is in the mid-60s.RA }}}13:34  RickWMT looking as good as the real U.S. economy looks bad. Someday, the market seems to be saying, we'll ALL shop at Walmart. Will they be selling the insects we supposedly

As a result, I am currently using a 5476.70 target, with a possible, even serious, stall at 5213.30. Alternatively, a relapse to 4686.60 would trigger a back-up-the-truck 'mechanical' buy, stop 4423.20. Virus-free.www.avg.com

Actionable Trade-Alert from Rick in the Trading Room (Please check all related discussion in the room before you do any trades.)20:15  RickWith a wicked swoon, the SI short at 107.035 that I recommended in my 5:30 p.m. update (see tout) has produced a relatively quick profit of as much as $14,000 per contract. I regret not mentioning that the short could have been covered and reversed pennies off this evening's low by using p=104.215 of the pattern that generated the short to begin with (A= 117.700 at 1:15 p.m.). SI turns out to be no more difficult to trade or forecast than before today's unremarkable, $16 dive. The snapback rally is vicious enough to suggest my 122.305 target could be reached after all. 

Actionable Trade-Alert from Rick in the Trading Room (Please check all related discussion in the room before you do any trades.)For lack of genuine interest, Bitcoin has flunked the reinstatement test. The $2800(!) bounce off yesterday's low came from within 22 points -- that is a fiftieth of a percentage point --  of the 87,722 target I'd advertised in the last update. There was no mention of this in the room, not even from the dozen-or-so subscribers who professed to want BTC to remain on the list. Accordingly, starting on Sunday, I will substitute Copper for BTCUSD. I am willing to provide private forecasts for anyone who wants them, but the charge will be $1500/month, and I will need at least four signups to initiate coverage. The service will come with a money-back guarantee, details on request. Serious inquiries only, at rick@rickackerman.com 

Actionable Trade-Alert from Rick in the Trading Room (Please check all related discussion in the room before you do any trades.)12:57  RickThis pattern has controlled Bitcoin since mid-October: https://bit.ly/497uZUK Judging from the way p was penetrated initially, there is still a good chance it will fall to d=72,756. A rally in the meantime to p=99,526 would trigger a 'mechanical' short there. Do the trade only if you know how to set up a 'camo' trigger' and where the stop-loss should be placed, based on 1:3. Virus-free.www.avg.com

Thanks Rick. This was hit. Going long here at 71.56Wednesday, December 31, 202500:0000:04  TroyBstopped out at 71.39.. too wild at the moment00:43  TroyBlooks like 71.77 gave in.05:0005:25  RickGave in, but not before paying off as much as $4,600 per contract to anyone who got long at the target. (The futures rallied to 72.720 before returning to the low.) The subsequent, so-far low at 70.225 picked up dubious support from a 70.250 clown low recorded Monday. That means clowns are dominant at the moment and will suffer further losses when the low gets taken out. The next target below would be D=68.030 (A=80.815 on the hourly, 12/29 at 1:00 a.m.) It would take a print at 72.725 to get back in bullish gear. Virus-free.www.avg.com

Actionable Trade-Alert from Rick in the Trading Room (Please check all related discussion in the room before you do any trades.)This morning's rigged, short-squeeze opening created challenging highs too ambitious for dog-tired, gutless bulls to surpass, but you never know.  The Trading Room is far more interesting than the markets themselves. If you haven't visited the room, here's what you missed, including a throwaway trade in ES that could have produced a quick, easy profit of more than $1,000:  Friday, December 19, 2025 09:0009:48  SpartacusNEWP: I've been holding a 100,000 share position in this stock. When it gets extended to the upside I trade out of 25-35K shares of it leaving the rest as core. Yesterday I bulked back up to a full position. Looks like the marque pivot is signaling a green light to make it to D. This has been a totally abandoned and misunderstood orphan stock.https://tinyurl.com/2s47m53v09:49  RickES 6884.00 target, slow in coming but inevitable, should show tradable stopping power. TI=6.25.09:56  RickIf Feb Gold falls to 4307.70, it can be bought aggressively with a 'camo' trigger or a tight stop. Currently 4361. A print at 4384.10 would trigger a 'mechanical' short, stop 4410. Recommended to Pivoteers only.10:0010:02  fxstarHi Rick, any update on EuroUSD Please ? [{{ I don't track the euro, FX, but if you have a potentially tradable idea, I'd be happy to vet it.

Half (2 contracts) would have been covered at 6875.00 for a $625 profit. It is in a bounce from p=6874.75, which is tied to d=6862.25 and p2=6868.50. d can be bottom-fished aggressively if you made/are still making money on the short, which just breached p. // UPDATE 10:29 p2=6868.50 just
