Every weekend, there will be a video update like this one commenting the past week using a simulated account and some preview.

April 12 11:50 EST. It looks like GCI is completing an Elliott ABC correction wave in the 5 minute chart. As you will see in the next chart, price and indicators are showing a positive divergence. At the last bottom there is a confirmed piercing line reversal candlestick pattern. Price is now also breaking the last red downtrend line. We open a long position at $17.63.

Note the positive divergence between the price and all indicators and the indicators moving up from below.

We have a possibility here to make the green pitchfork projection that most probably will give direction to the next price move.

If we add a historical Fibonacci projection between the last low and a previous top, we can see price targets at $17.85 and $18.05. This last target to be reached near the end of the session between 15:00 and 16:00 EST. Both targets correspond to previous price levels, confirming the targets.

At 15:25 EST, after a nice steady up move within the lower side of the pitchfork channel, price now falls through the uptrend line after reaching the second Fibonacci price target. Time to take profit. We close the position at $18.06. A profit of $0.43 or 2.4%. We will take this up in the result table.

Our indicators confirm the downturn, moving already down from the top.

Price went just a little bit higher, made a tweezer top and is now moving flat at the end of this trading day.

Price continued moving rather flat with no good buy or sell opportunities. Friday April 16 GCI opened the day with a big gap, but at 10:20 EST, the whole of the market was starting a downturn. In GCI we have a spinning top, followed by a doji and confirmed by a bigger black candle down. This last candle is also breaking the uptrend line and price is far away from the 50 and 100 simple moving average. In the following chart you will see that all indicators are making a downturn too. We open a short position at $19.33.

Here you can see that all indicators are making a downturn, supporting our decision to open a short trade.

Price moves down and there is some up reaction now.  Price is still below the red downtrend line, there is resistance from the top of the opening gap and from the 50 period moving average. We stay in the trade if these resistance levels hold.

There was no problem since price continued the downtrend immediately.  A historical Fibonacci projection from the top back to the upper side of the opening gap, gives a price target at $18.1. This target has been reached and price turns up with a bullish engulfing candle pattern. Price breaks the last downtrend line and out of the downward wedge pattern. It is time to take profit and close the short position. We buy back GCI at $18.20. This makes a $1.13 or 5.8% profit. This is taken up in the result table.

Indicators turning up from below, support closing our position.

The results of this trading week are added in the table. There is more than 20% profit now in less than a month's time.
