Precision Drilling Daily Chart
The most important points to note in the Precision Drilling (PD) chart analysis are:
If an online trader made a buy on the breakout at $12.50, the trader must set up a stop-loss at that time. A reasonable stop-loss would be below support at $12. A stop-loss of $11.87 would represent a loss of around 5% and maybe not close enough that it would be taken out on a light test of support. Anyway, you will be around to trade another day. Risk management is an important concept in online trading. Preservation of capital is rule #1.

Suncor 6-Month Daily Candlestick Chart
Major support for Suncor is at $40.00 on this daily candlestick chart. You must monitor the chart at this stage for a candlestick pattern that indicates the stock can hold this support level. The near-term trend is down: Suncor has moved below the 10 day and 20 day moving averages. Can the stock hold the 40 day moving average?
Please reference the the March 11, 2011 weekly chart of Suncor for another perspective.
The February 6, 2011 chart shows Suncor struggling at the $40 level which is now major support.
BMO - 6-Month Daily Chart
The most important concept in technical analysis is the trend: you always trade in the direction of the trend. The near-term trend for BMO, last three weeks, is up and is defined by the 10 day simple moving average (SMA) which is above both the 20 day and 40 day averages. The intermediate trend, last six months, is sideways with support at $58 and resistance at $62.
This brings up the another important concept in technical analysis — support and resistance. Take a look at the chart. BMO could not break $62 on three attempts over the last six months. Both the bulls and the bears have memories of this price point. BMO will meet technical resistance at $62 in this rally.
The three confirming indicators:
The shaven head ( stock closed at the high for the day) white candlestick for Thursday was positive for the bulls.
