GLW Setup and Trade Plan

by

Today’s Featured Trade Idea is GLW.

Members can join us in Trading Room #1 as Rick reviews the GLW setup and other Trade-Ideas at 9:10am Eastern.  For now, here are my own analysis and a potential trade plan made using our Trader Vision 20/20 software.

GLW has been in an uptrend since late June. After consolidating for a month, the Bulls have stepped back in the last few weeks. On Wed. it printed a Bullish Engulfing signal to test the July high. Above the b/o, there is not much previous overhead price action from the last several years that might prove resistance.

So, I will look for a b/o Entry with a Stop protected by 3 levels of potential Support. I will use Fibonacci Extension targets since there are no S/R levels for at least several years ago.

Trader Vision shows us that we should have 1.5 months until the next earnings. It also tells us this setup has 5 Bullish conditions versus only 1 Bearish condition. (Actually, it should register a Bullish signal, Bull Engulfing, as well, which would make the ratio 6:1.)

TV20/20 shows us that this Trade Plan offers a limited initial risk ($120) with the ability to make 2.65:1 Reward/Risk at the 1st Target price. However, if we can sell half the position there, move the Stop up (to reduce risk) and hold the remainder until that 2nd Target, we would achieve 3.5:1 Reward/Risk ($420/$120). Finally, TV20/20 tells us this plan can achieve our trade goal if GLW reaches $37.17 *+8.53%).

Having this knowledge before a trade is even entered makes it much easier to control emotions and maintain discipline.

Below is my markup of the chart and the trade plan as laid out by Trader Vision 20/20.  As a bonus, if you click the green button below, you’ll be able to watch a video of the chart markup and trade planning process.

Note how Trader Vision 20/20 does so much of the work for you.  Knowing the ratio of Bullish Conditions to Bearish ones as well as the overall risk of the position size, risk to Stop out and the Reward possible at each Target price can help a great deal with controlling our emotions.  Knowing the dollar impact of every scenario ahead of time, allows us to make calm decisions during the trade.  It really takes the pressure off.  No guesswork.  No surprises.  No emotional roller coaster.

Testimonial

Trader Vision immediately simplified the process…immediately it provided that information and guidance to me. I knew what I would risk for how much reward, I began taking trades off at the 1st target, 2nd target, I was no longer holding all my trades for the homerun. I also began implementing the stop losses if and when they were reached, not just hoping the stock would recover.  It then became easier to see what patterns were working for me and which were not.  It provided a much more relaxed and stress-free environment. –Joan G

Whipsaws and head fakes

by

Whipsaws and head fakes

Whipsaws and head fakesAll bulls have remained in charge holding key support, but those pesky bears have certainly made this week challenging with all the whipsaws and head fakes they have used to muck up the works.  I would not expect the bears to give up easily, but the announcement that the US and China will come back to the trade negotiation table may finally inspire the bulls to break for higher ground.  Although still, a very dangerous storm with the east coast hurricane downgraded to a category-2 may also help to lift the mood of the market.

Leaving behind some questionable candle patterns in the indexes yesterday we are not out of the woods just yet and have to remain watchful of those nasty intraday whipsaws and head fakes.  However, the path higher seems to have fewer obstacles to overcome at the moment. Stay focused and price and always be prepared with a plan to deal with whatever the market tosses at us.

On the Calendar

The potential market-moving CPI report and the weekly Jobless Claims kick off the Economic Calendar at 8:30 AM Eastern.  Forecasters expect the CPI to rise 0.3% in August with the overall year-on-year core at 2.3 percent.  Consensus expects 210,000 in initial claims coming off a 50-year low as labor demand remains very high.  We have a Fed Speaker @ 10:00 AM, Natural Gas report at 10:30, three Bond Announcements @ 11:00 AM, another Fed Speaker at 12:30 PM, a 30-Yr. Bond Auction at 1:00 PM, the Treasury Budget at 2:00 PM, Fed Balance Sheet and Money Supply at 4:30 PM to wrap up the day.

On the Earnings Calendar, we have 33 companies fessing up to their quarterly results.  Before the bell, KR is among those reporting, and ADBE is the most notable after the market close today.

Action Plan

With all the gaps and whipsaws and choppy consolidations, this has been a rather challenging week.  On the positive side, the indexes have held on key supports but so far have not found the energy to follow-through to the upside.  Yesterday it was announced that the US and China could begin another round of trade negotiations.  As a result, Asian markets closed higher across the board with the European markets are mixed but mostly higher.  Consequently, US Futures are suggesting a bullish open as I write this.

The market continues to prone to intraday whipsaws but perhaps with China tariffs temporarily set aside and the east coast hurricane down to a category-2 storm the bulls can produce a more deliberate effort.  While the bears have not shown a lot of strength, they sure have been disruptive, and they will likely not give up easily.  We still need to be watchful of head fakes, and whipsaws so stay focused on price and prepared for anything.

Trade Wisely,

Doug

Classic Hit and Run Candlesticks (RBB) Setup

PZZA is a classic Hit and Run Candlesticks (RBB) setup looking for relief rally swings. Constructive bottom after a downtrend. A Bullish Morning Star started the game followed by a Bullish Inverted Head and Shoulder that has lead to price challenging the 50-SMA a brief rest then over the 50-SMA we go. Now we have an (RBB) relief rally setup that has a probability of a 10-15% stock trade or a 30% plus option trade. We are bullish on PZZA over $47.00 with a protective stop about $45.60

SPY Engulfs

The SPY found Buyers, support and a Bullish Engulf yesterday. The past 6-7 bars have shown how the bears can graze on the weak until they pick on the wrong Bull. It all started with the Inverted Hammer and support which needed and received positive trading the next two days. Yesterdays Bullish Engulf has run a few Bears off. Over the next few days, we need to see more bullish constructive trade to run the rest of the bears off. Over $289.60the Bulls should be free to roam around for a week or so. Below $286.75 would bring the Bears back.

****VXX – Key level for the fear chart (s) (VXX) is $33.40

PZZA Setup and Trade Plan

by

Today’s Featured Trade Idea is PZZA.

Members can join us in Trading Room #1 as Rick reviews the PZZA setup and other Trade-Ideas at 9:10am Eastern.  For now, here are my own analysis and a potential trade plan made using our Trader Vision 20/20 software.

PZZA was in a long-term downtrend. However, in August, the Bulls stepped back in and have been forming higher-highs and higher-lows for a month or so. In early September, it also broke into a Rounded Bottom Breakout pattern only to promptly take profit on a slight pullback. Over the last 3 days, the bulls have stepped back in, holding the recent trend and breaking back up through the 50sma and a resistance level.

I will look for a positive trade Entry with a Stop tight below the most recent pullback candle bodies (possibly protected by the 50sma and the level just broken). Targets were chosen off a long-term chart (8-days) and the 2nd of these should be at the 200sma when we get there.

Trader Vision shows us that earnings are out of the way and we have a couple months until the next round. It also shows us that this setup has 4 Bullish Conditions versus 2 Bearish Conditions (Long-Term bias of PZZA has not turned Bullish yet and Short-term market pullback).  Still, this is an attractive setup.

TV20/20 then tells us that this Trade Plan offers us over 2.5:1 Reward/Risk at the 1st Target price. In addition, it tells us that if we had to sell the entire position at that 1st Target, we would achieve our Goal profit for the trade. However, if we can sell half at that 1st Target and hold the remainder until the 2nd Target, we would achieve a 3.7:1 ($517.50/$140) Reward/Risk for an overall profit of 11%.

Having this knowledge before a trade is even entered makes it much easier to control emotions and maintain discipline.

Bulls Stepped Up

by

Bulls Stepped Up

Bulls Stepped UpAfter the nasty gap down open yesterday, the bulls stepped up to defend key support levels producing nice bullish engulfing signals on the DIA, SPY, and QQQ.  I honestly was hoping to see a very strong bullish follow-through this morning, but so far the Futures are pointing to muted open.  With a dangerous hurricane bearing down on the east coast and the continued threat of new tariffs a somewhat muted open is not all that surprising.

Bullish engulfing candles are great signals but remember they require a bullish follow-through to be valid.  If the bulls are unable to follow-through, the bears could see that as a sign of weakness and attack.  So come on bulls we need you to dig in and push hard!  It’s very easy to see great bullish signals and become overly biased and over committed to long positions before price confirms direction.  Stay focused on price action and be careful not to load up too heavily long until we see some follow-through.

On the Calendar

We kick off the Wednesday Economic Calendar at 7:00 AM Eastern with the MBA Mortage Applications.  At 8:30 the PPI according to consensus is looking for a 0.2 percent increase in August, and when excluding food, energy and trade services a 0.2 percent gains is also expected.  The Atlanta Fed Business Inflation Expectations is at 10:00 AM.  Then the EIA Petroleum Status Report comes out at 10:30 AM and although a market-moving report it’s not forecast forward with a consensus estimate.  We have a Fed Speaker at 12.45 PM and a Bond Auction at 1:00 PM.  Last but not least is the Beige Book release which is used by the FOMC to set monetary policy.  The next FOMC meeting announce is in 2-weeks on 9/26.

On the Earnings Calendar today we have just nine companies reporting.  There are no particularly notable reports before the bell, but after the close TLRD, PVTL & OXM are the most noteworthy.

Action Plan

Another day another nasty whipsaw but this one finished the day on a very positive note.  The DIA and SPY supports were not only defended, but Bulls rallied with enough energy to leave behind bullish engulfing candles.  The QQQ also produced a bullish engulfing candle rallying back to an important resistance level while the IWM held support but largely rested.  Asian market closed down across the board last night, and the current European markets are mixed but mostly positive.

Bullish engulfing candles are great but still require bullish follow-through price action to confirm the signal.  As I write this, the US Futures are suggesting only a modestly higher open this morning.  I must admit I was hoping for a bit more bullishness this morning following such a nice reaction to support levels yesterday.  However, with a powerful hurricane bearing down on the east coast and the lingering threats of new tariffs it’s not all that surprising to see a slightly muted response.  The good news, at least for now, is that it’s bullish but be careful not to chase and stay focused on price action.

Trade Wisely,

Doug

Doji Continuation Pattern Challenging Breakout bullish on THS over $54.25 with a protective stop about $52.30

by

Doji Continuation Pattern Challenging Breakout

THS has crafted a Doji Continuation that is challenging recent highs for a breakout. Starting about July price action stated to draw a Bullish “W” Pattern that confirmed on August 23. Followed by a six candle T-Line Run, an Engulf and a Doji yesterday has set the chart up for a Doji Continuation Pattern. The 34-EMA has crossed back over the 50-SMA to confirm the trend price started early August. We are bullish on THS over $54.25 with a protective stop about $52.30

____________________________________________________________

SPY • DIA’s

The SPY failed to close over the Inverted Hammer and the T-Line (8-EMA). Price did break the new low streak by making a higher low and high. The SPY is in a place of indecision, struggling to make a choice. I also think the important chart to look at today is the DIA’s. The DIA’s closed yesterday with a Bearish Engulf and the pre-morning trading suggest the Bearish Engulf will see follow-through likely to test the 20-SMA. If the buyers can not step in front of the sellers, the DIA’s may see the 34-EMA by the end of the week. The Bulls need to carve out a reversal pattern that pushes the price over the T-Line at least once to start the bullish climb.

****VXX – VXX gaped down yesterday to the T-Line and held forming a Doji. If fear steps to the door price action could easily challenge the 50-SMA. If the VXX chart is successful with the 50-SMA, the $35.00 area is a good probability.

THS Setup and Trade Plan

by

Today’s Featured Trade Idea is THS.

Members can join us in Trading Room #1 as Rick reviews the THS setup and other Trade-Ideas at 9:10am Eastern.  For now, here are my own analysis and a potential trade plan made using our Trader Vision 20/20 software.

THS has been in an uptrend since Spring. After a summer pullback, the Bulls have been running again in August. Then a short profit-taking J-hook was completed last week, ending in a Doji Continuation signal at the b/o level. On Monday, it printed another Doji just above the b/o.  I will be looking for a continuation of the bullish run, with an Entry near Monday’s close and a Stop set below a shelf of Support. Two targets are defined off longer-term charts.

Trader Vision shows us that earnings are out of the way and we have about 2 months until they come around again. It also tells us that this setup has 5 Bullish conditions and 1 Bearish condition (short-term symbol trend) in favor of this chart.

TV20/20 also shows us that this Trade Plan does provide us more than 2:1 Reward/Risk at the 1st Target. However, if we can follow this plan, selling half at that 1st Target and holding the rest up to the 2nd Target, we can achieve 3.36:1 ($498.56/$148.20) Reward/Risk. In addition, TV20/20 tells us that THS only needs to reach $58.86 in order to sell the positions and make our Trade Goal profit.

Having this knowledge before a trade is even entered makes it much easier to control emotions and maintain discipline.
