From HRC members trade idea watchlist that meet the T-Line Band bullish rules.
What is a Trade Idea Watch List?
Earnings could push us to new market highs But, will the weekend effect get in the way?
There is no question that the earnings from AMZN and GOOG will inspire the Bulls. It is possible we could see all time now highs in the markets today. However, with tensions rising in North Korea and Congress still dragging their feet on a budget extension could derail that plan. I think we have to approach today with the idea that anything is possible.
If the Congress would get out of the way and do their job, I think the market would be free to rally. Congressional tradition suggests they will play games all day letting the markets close in limbo. Then to prove to us just how hard they work they will work late into the night. That tosses huge questions on how Monday morning will be affected forcing the Bulls to keep their hand in their pockets today.
If by some miracle Congress does get something done before the market close we could see some wild price action after the news. Trying to predict what will happen is a fool’s errand, so the best we can do is focus on the price action and make wise business decisions with the information at hand.
On the Calendar
We kick off Friday with a reading of the GDP number at 8:30 AM Eastern. The GDP is a market moving number. Also at 8:30 we get the Employment Cost Index followed by the Chicago PMI at 9:45 and the Consumer Sentiment at 10:00. Clearly, these are all important numbers, but unless there issue a big surprise, it’s unlikely they will have much of an effect. On the Earnings Calendar, we have 97 companies reporting today.
Action Plan
Friday is normally a profit taking day for me but today may be a little different. All the earnings after the close yesterday have the potential of creating some pretty good buy signals today. I want to be careful not to overload ahead of the weekend and may consider smaller than normal positions. We have to keep in mind that tensions are growing concerning North Korea. Anything is possible so keep that in mind as you prepare for the weekend.
Trade Wisely,
Doug

A Bearish Shooting Star Close – Below 238.40 Watch the Bear
In my morning traders notes April 26, “I wrote Below $238.40 today could be the profit taking trigger”. A Bearish Shooting Star Close – Below 238.40 Watch the Bear. Yesterday’s close painted a Bearish Shooting Star, which closed at $238.40. I am looking at an active 2-hour chart and see Tweezer Top; a Tweezer Top is suggesting the Buyers are weakening. Let’s keep our eye on price and how it reacts with the T-Line and the $236.95 area.
Good Trading – Rick

What is a Trade Idea Watch List?
A trade idea watch list is a list of stocks that we feel will move in our desired direction over a swing trader’s time frame. That time could be one to 30 days for example.
From that watchlist, we wait until price action meets our conditions for a trade.

Mixed price action signals and emotion cloud the view forward.
Mixed price action signals coupled with the drama of a huge earnings day could make for a bumpy day. Over the last few days, the Bulls have made a strong statement smashing through downtrends and resistance levels. As a result, most traders have an upside bias. However, the shooting star candle pattern that appeared yesterday on the DIA and SPY raises the flag up uncertainty.
Today we have a huge number of companies reporting earnings. The question will there be enough positive reports to support current price levels. There are currently more companies with prices above $100 a share than ever before. As long as companies continue to perform that is not a problem but if too many show signs of stress at this altitude there could be trouble ahead.
The last thing I want to do is predict which side will prevail, Bulls or Bears. I want to avoid all the noise stay focused on the price action making the trades come to me. Flexibility and the willingness move with the market no matter the direction is critical. The price action of the market is always talking to us and leaving behind clues. The question is are you listening to and willing to see the clues or has your bias plugged your ears and fogged your vision.
On the Calendar
Today on the Economic Calendar we have three potential market moving reports at 8:30 AM eastern. The Durable Goods and International Trade numbers being most important with Weekly Jobless Claims to follow. Overshadowing the economic numbers today will be our first big day of earnings reports this season. With 477 companies reporting, plan for an extra dose of volatility today. Also, we must remember that Congress is moving forward on the new health care bill. Any news surrounding this controversial subject has potential market moving effects, plan accordingly.
Action Plan
My plan today calls for flexibility and a keen focus on price action. With the barrage of earnings announcements and news spun from DC anything is possible. With the DIA, SPY, and IWM tucked tightly against important resistance levels fast and extreme price moves are not out of the question. As a result, I don’t approach the market today with a bullish or bearish bias. I want to be prepared to react to price action clues without the fog of bias clouding my focus.

Bulls Price Trend Working Together
We all love the market when the Bulls, price, and the trend are working together. For the swing trader, this is a dream come true.
The SPY has closed over the top t-line once again on the daily chart following the France vote and strong earnings. Yesterday’s candle pulled back slightly at the end of the day after walking into resistance. The hourly chart may be suggesting a little profit taking could be just around the corner. Below $238.40 today could be the profit taking trigger.
FREE Trade Idea – TWLO
TWLO 2-day chart – April 7 a Bullish Harami was printed creating a double bottom below the t-line bands. Follow through pushed price over the top t-line band and put the chart into a Rounded Bottom Breakout.
Note we bought TWLO yesterday.
