Short @ 8192 Dow Jones
I am just following a custom system created by my uncle. He passed away last year. I inherited his laptop. He was a trader. The software contains some custom formulas and one of the indicators is a buy/sell flags system that always seem to work with FTSE and Wall Street.
If you ever fancy sharing, I'd be happy to try reverse engineering them for you. No, I don't in any way expect you to agree, but I figured I'd offer.
Edit: Sounds like it's looking for overshoot and retracement, from the earlier trades, though. Just a hunch.

Thats true! If its working keep doing..
But.. Just dont open a treat tomorrow to sell a "super-mega-100% profitable" system..
Guys just trying to learn some chart paterns..
is This a "bulish flag"?
Keeping in mind that in my opinion, technical analysis should support the fundamental analysis, not be taken by itself... yeah, could well be.
Looking at it from a less academic point of view, and more of a "What's happening"; the market is forming a triangle/flag/whatever you want to call it, which strongly suggests that traders do not strongly feel the current price is wrong. This can be uncertainty or confidence, hard to tell. It does however suggest that once the market moves out of the slowly decreasing range, that it's indicative of a strong price movement (be that up or down).
I still think the fundamentals are a complete wreck, BUT I think people are in an optimistic mood due to Obama's inauguration, so we're more likely to see up before we see the fundamentals push it back down.
None of this should be taken as advice on any trading, but merely as a statement of my own opinion on the market.
