Is that an ascending base? If so, it is way extended beyond the pivot of =
17.55, I think.

I see it more as a cup-with-handle (but when the only tool you =
have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail!) because the two dips =
were not of equal depth, but I'm not sure what the tolerance limits are.
However, as a CwH it formed a pivot at $25.90 on 7/10. It then =
went on to dip to a low of $20.20 in the handle, which was a 22% drop. =
WON says that a stock should only correct by at most 15% in the handle =
(although there are inconsistent statements on this) so it didn't =
qualify as a CwH either (but then virtually nothing has in the last =
couple of weeks). Nevertheless, todays breakout was very strong and =
could be buyable up to $27.12 (5% above pivot).

Hi Victor,
I'll leave the specific analysis of the DCOM chart to somebody =
else, but in the meantime, here's something to get you started:
Question=20
Can a double-bottom base have a handle, or is it just =
the start of another base?=20
=20
Answer=20
In a double-bottom base, the pivot (buy) point typically =
occurs when the stock clears the peak in the middle of the W-shaped =
pattern. Sometimes, double bottoms will form handles before they reach =
this point. In those situations, the pivot point is when the stock =
clears the highest price point in the handle area. The handle should =
drift downward slightly and usually form over a period of one to seven =
weeks.

Subject: [CANSLIM] DCOM - B/O rules
MessageOn Wedsday's edition (today) IBD listed DCOM as b/o =
from a double
bottom. On Tuesday IBD weblink said " ... Dime hit 25.94 =
Monday, just
missing a breakout..." .
As a newbie trying to learn more about charts and breakouts, =
this seems like
a great example to check my understanding.
If I am getting it right, the reason why DCOM is deemed to =
have b/o is
because of the following two easons:
a) It closed at 26.90 having achieved an high of 27.0, and =
that is above the
previous high of 26.80 back in May 17, 2002.
b) The new high was achieved at a volume 1,056,800 which is =
378% up from the
day before and four times the average daily volume of 221,100
What is the exact rule for a breakout mathematically? (Lets =
say that I were
to program it in say Metastock?)
Base on this case I can see two rules at least (in =
pseudo-code):
IF today's high is greater than the previous high (is this the =
all time high
or just the rolling 52 week high?)
AND
IF today's volume is greater than N times the normal volume =
(is this some
sort of moving average of the daily volume, or just =
yeaterday's volume)
THEN yippe it is a B/O
Is there any "fuzziness" to the above rules?
BTW, the fundamentals on DCOM also look great, ignoring M for =
a moment, is
this a valid CANSLIM candidate stock?
Rgds
