Cradle Pattern Equals Cup/Handle Pattern

YEXT daily chart is presenting us with a Bullish Cradle Pattern which is a Cup and Handle Pattern on a faster time frame. YEXT has been hot and trending in a T-Line Run, then about a week ago the profit takers stepped in and caused an Evening Star that led to a pullback below the T-Line. Price action has was in a state of indecision for four candles, the Buyers came back Friday and tested the Evening star high. And a pattern is formed, it is very important the bulls breakout of the Evening Star high and prove support. Two opposing forces are at play in chart patterns. We are bullish YEXT over $27.30 with a protective stop about $26.40

Good Trading, Rick, and Trading Team

Road To Wealth August 2018 statement has bee posted Monthly Trading Results updated the first week of each month.

What’s on Rick’s watchlist today? New brokerage statement says 258% increase.

____________________________________________________________

SPY 

The weekend is over without major political jiber Jaber, and this morning the buyers are trying to sneak through the T-Line (8-EMA Moving average) 7:15 AM on the daily chart. Friday gave us six days with lower highs and lower lows and an Inverted Hammer on the 20-SMA. The Inverted Hamer indicates the sellers hit the road running right out of the gate; then the buyers fought back closing off the lows. I have found the Inverted Hammer after a trend down suggest the buyers are fighting back and trying to turn the trend around. It is very important that confirmation is visible in the next few days. Price action on the 3-day chart shows that the T-Line (8-EMA) has caught a 3-day low and has held price within the breakout candle four candles ago.

****VXX – The VXX chart was pretty active last week running up to the 50-SMA but closing under keeping the trend reversal at bay. The bullish construction of VXX is still troublesome and needs to be watched.

No Fear

by

No Fear

No FearEven in the face of 276 billion in possible China tariffs, the Bulls are showing no fear this morning with the Futures suggesting a substantial gap up at the open.  The DIA, SPY, and IWM having held key levels of price support last week look ready to for another leg higher.  The QQQ’s still has some work to do to reclaim a key support but the current bullish would suggest that is certainly possible.

Although the market is putting on a brave face this morning, keep in mind that the bullish sentiment could quickly shift if the tariffs become a reality.  If the market doesn’t care then why wouldn’t the president move forward with them?  Plan your risk accordingly.  Keep in mind whipsaw price action is possible near market highs so be careful not to chase with the fear of missing out.  Remember low-risk entries occur at or near price support not at or near price resistance.

On the Calendar

We begin this week with an Economic Calendar without an expected market-moving report the entire day.  We have a Bond Announcement @ 11:00 AM, a Fed Speaker @ 11:30 AM, 2-Bond Auctions @ 11:30 AM, TD Ameritrade IMX @ 12:30 and Consumer Credit @ 3:00 PM to close the day.

Of the 24 companies reporting on the Earnings Calendar this Monday, I don’t see anything particularly notable or market-moving.  However, it’s still extremely important that you are checking reporting dates against your current holdings.  Doing so is a simple practice that is important for all traders.

Action Plan

It would appear that the threat of new tariffs is not enough to deter the Bulls from pushing the market higher.  Asian markets were mixed but mostly lower overnight however European markets are currently showing modest gains across the board this morning.  There is still a significant amount of time before the open, but currently, the Dow Futures are suggesting a gap up of nearly 100 points.

Friday’s sudden attack lower was defended by Bulls holding key support levels in the DIA, SPY, and IWM.  The QQQ remained below an important resistance level but this mornings bullishness looks as if regaining this level as support is possible.  All-in-all the bullishness this morning looks good for a new leg higher in the market.  Remember too we watchful of whipsaws at or near market highs.  Also, remember the Fear-Of-Missing-Out is a powerful emotion so be careful not to over-trade or chase gapping stocks near resistance.  Ignoring the possible tariff now could still create a quick change in market sentiment if levied, so plan according.

Trade Wisely,

Doug

YEXT Setup and Trade Plan

by

Today’s Featured Trade Idea is YEXT.

Members can join us in Trading Room #1 as Rick reviews the YEXT 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.

YEXT has been trending Bullish since April or May, with the last leg higher lasting a month before it did a little profit-taking pullback last week. After bottoming out and showing a lack of conviction in the selling, on Friday it printed a Trader’s Best Friend signal to test the b/o level of it’s J-hook pattern.  I will look for a b/o Entry with a tight Stop below and Fibonacci Extension Target prices. I don’t feel pressure to chase the trade as any breakout is likely to retest the $27.20 area as Support after b/o.

Trader Vision shows us that earnings should be out of the way for a couple months. It also tells us we have 4 Bullish Conditions and 2 Bearish Conditions (the short-term pullback in overall markets and the profit-taking in YEXT itself).

TV20/20 also tells us that this Trade Plan offers very limited risk ($135) to the Stop on a b/o buy. In addition, it shows us that we can reach our Trade Goal just above the 1st Target. However, if we can sell half at Target #1 and hold the remainder until the 2nd Target, this plan offers us 3.28:1 Reward/Risk with a $442.50 profit.

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.

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

SPY Five Lower Lows Education is shark repelent

by

SPY Five Lower Lows

With five lower lows in the SPY, this week has been controlled by the sellers, or maybe the buyers just needed a rest? Yesterdays low in the SPY came within pennies of the 20-SMA which in my book is still an acceptable pullback.

The DIA’s have fared much better closing above the T-Line, and two higher lows are trying to paint a bullish continuation pattern, go blue chips! The QQQ’s have been the poor sport, but when you look at the overall trend, the QQQ’s are still trending above the 34-EMA. If we start to breach the 34-EMA on the SPY, DIA, IWM, or QQQ’s that’s when I will become very concerned about the weakness in the market. Right now stong trading rules are needed to navigate through the rough market.

Keep in mind we believe flexibility, base hits, selling into strength and if you’re wrong about the trade simple close the trade out and own it. And a trading plan that at the very least uses a stop, entry, and a profit plan.

A good rule of thumb is if you have three losing trades in a row you might want to read up on how to handle sharks in the water.

Education Plan #1

Buy and sell stocks without a good understanding of what’s going on in a chart or the market. Buy and Sell on faith, hope, and tips you pick up. Thinking that you can learn everything you need to know before your capital burns up.

Education Plan #2

Set aside time to study, take advantage of the material available to you. There are several courses that we have available that with help with the understanding of a Trend, Price Action, Chart Patterns, Stochastics and the use of FIB Lines. Having a strong understanding of charts and management of your business greatly increases the probability of your trading success.

Focused and Flexible

by

Focused and Flexible

Focused and FlexibleAs we head into the weekend with a strong Employment Situation report expected and the looming threat of 200 billion in tariffs, traders will need to stay very focused and flexible.  The DIA, SPY, and IWM are all holding just above key support levels.  Unfortunately, the QQQ’s failed its key support yesterday, but that can recover quickly if the bulls find something to inspire them.  However, if the bears happen to find inspiration to attack we could see some nasty price action should support fail in the other indexes.

Stay focused on price action watching for head fakes and whipsaws.  I also think it’s important to set aside your bias and remain flexible and prepared.  The market is at a critical decision point, and though I’m cheering for the bulls, it’s unwise to underestimate the bears.  Carefully plan the risk you carry into the weekend.

On the Calendar

The Friday Economic Calendar has only one market-moving report today, but they don’t get much more important than the 8:30 AM Eastern Employment Situation report.  The consensus is expecting a strong August with job creation rising to 195,000 and the unemployment rate falling to 3.8 percent.  Monthly hourly earnings are also expected to increase by 0.3 percent with the year-on-year rate rising to 2.8 percent.  Manufacturing is expected to show a very solid increase of 21,000 and private payrolls rising 190,000.  We have Fed speakers at 8:30, 9:00 & 10:45 AM with the Quarterly Services Survey @ 10:00 AM, the Baker-Hughes Rig Count @ 1:00 PM and Treasury STRIPS closing out the week at 3:00 PM.

On the Earnings Calendar, we have a light day with only 13 companies reporting.  Before the bell, HURC & GCO are among those reporting with MSB and UBA among those reporting after the close.

Action Plan

Yesterday was an interesting day with 3 of the indexes turning lower while the bulls focused their attention on the Dow.  While there were several bear attacks in the Dow creating interday whipsaws, the Bulls found a way to push right back.  Overnight Asian markets were mixed but mostly lower and European markets are currently lower across the board.  Consequently, current US Futures are pointing to a lower open but with a strong Employment Situation report expected an hour before the open that could quickly change the open expectation.

The QQQ’s failed at support yesterday, but the DIA, SPY, and IWM managed to hold just above key levels.  With the Employment Situation report and the threat of 200 billion in new tariffs leveled against China, we will have to flexible and focused.  As normal I will be looking to take some profits and reduce risk heading into the weekend.

Trade Wisely,

Doug

No Setup and Trade Plan Market Uncertainty

by

There will be no Featured Trade Idea today.  It’s Friday (Pay Day) anyway…when traders should be looking to book profits and take off risk ahead of the weekend.  Couple this with current political turmoil (normal political discord, Kavanaugh Nomination Hearings, the Woodward book, talk of the 25th Amendment…AND the possibility of the President unilaterally implementing another $200 Billion in Tariffs on China.  Then top it all off with the Indicies being in a short-term pullback, but sitting at potential Support.  This all adds up to there being no good reason to chase any more trades going into the weekend.  So I will be managing current positions and looking to take profits or reduce risk exposure where I can today.

Members can join us in Trading Room #1 as Rick reviews the markets and any of your charts at 9:10am Eastern.

We are bullish on the chart and a bullish buy over $27.35 with a protective stop about $26.50

SPY • In The T-Line Trap

Yesterday was the 4th day of a lower low and lower high, price action also fell into a gap, and the Bulls have seemed to find a little support (for now). Overall the bigger trend is still bullish bit the swing trade trend is not so much. Not until we see a reversal pattern/price action. Stick with and focus on good trading rules, if you are not making money it’s not the market’s fault. We closed 1/ our QCOM for 58% yesterday

****VXX – The VXX is still trying to construct a bottom and getting closer to the downtrend line. Will the downtrend line reject price again or open the gate?

PSTG Setup and Trade Plan

by

Today’s Featured Trade Idea is PSTG.

Members can join us in Trading Room #1 as Rick reviews the PSTG 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.

PSTG has been in a bullish trend since early March of 2017. After a summer downtrend, it resumed a strong rally in August, taking a small amount of profit after the big pop. At this point the Bulls have resumed control and broken out of the consolidation/J-hook type pattern.

On Wed. PSTG put in a very long-legged Doji which shows good strength relative to the QQQ and NASDAQ charts. I will look for an Entry about where it closed, using Fib. Ext. target prices at these all-time highs. My Stop will be just below a shelf that was recent resistance and support.

Trader Vision shows us that we have 2.5 months until the next earnings report. It also shows us that this chart is displaying 5 Bullish Conditions versus no Bearish Conditions. This makes it a nice Chart Setup to consider for a trade.

TV20/20 also tells us this plan gives us only $127.50 in “Risk to Stop Out” while also having the potential for $307.50 in profit at the 1st Target price. This is a respectable 2.41:1 Reward/Risk ratio.

However, if sell half at that target, move up our Stop and ride the remainder up to the 2nd Target price, overall we can achieve a 3.26:1 Reward/Risk ($416.25:127.50). This would make for a trade with over 10% profit potential.

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.
