Ann,
A base on base is simply a basing formation, a breakout, then a period =
of less than 20-25% appreciation before another consolidation occurs. =
That means that there can be as little as 0% or as much as approx. =
20-25% between the consolidations to be considered "base on base." BTW, =
in the overall base count, these are considered as one.

Donald,
I guess it's not an ascending base, if IBD says it's not! I'm glad you =
clarified.
As Katherine recently wrote, the ascending base is 3 consecutive =
pullbacks, each with higher highs and higher lows. I had thought that a =
base-on-base needed a week or two between the 2 bases to qualify, but I =
gather that was wrong.
But, hey, I'm still learning too!!
Good luck with your trade.

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 =

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?
