Today’s Swing Trade Ideas

TGTX / Long (Healthcare)   TGTX has formed a support line near the $15.40 area. After a big snap to the upside, we are seeing profit taking near the 20-day simple moving average.  Yesterday formed a morning star-type reversal signal.  On a breakout of the recent high, we would have a J-Hook continuation pattern with a 30%-plus profit target.

My entry plan idea:  Positive trading above yesterday’s close or an inside day
My stop plan idea:    A close below the T-Line for now

Featured Trade Idea — CUR up 20% in 2 days
Featured Trade Idea (yesterday) up 5.86%

LOCO / Long (Restaurants)   LOCO was trading bearish for several days below the T-Line, and a low was put in on December 16.  Then for the next week or so, price moved sideways still underneath the T-Line with a slight dip creating a scoop pattern.  A tiny bullish Harami sparked a gap with another gap closing over the T-Line and the 20-day simple moving average.  The T-Line is currently 13% away from the 34 EMA.  If bought low enough, we can call this a pinball setup to the 34 EMA and on continued follow-through, there is a possible 25% profit to the 50-period moving average.

My entry plan idea:  Inside day buy below yesterday’s high and above the T-Line
My stop plan idea:    A close back below the T-Line for now

Today’s Swing Trade Ideas

CUR / Long (Healthcare Biotechnology)  On October 20, 2014, CUR painted a long wick, and for the past three months, CUR has consolidated sideways.  It painted a bullish morning star about two weeks ago and then formed your basic 1-2-3 pattern with another morning star and a Doji sandwich (continuation pattern) in one of our Rounded Bottom Breakout patterns (RBB)

My entry plan idea:  Inside day below yesterday’s high and above yesterday’s low
My stop plan idea:   A close back below 2.75

EXK / Long (Basic Materials Silver)  EXK has come off of its lows closing above the T-Line with about 13 1/2% between the T-Line and the 34 EMA and about 25% from the T-Line to the 50-day simple moving average.  EXK is set up for both a pinball trade as well as a snap-back 50 trade.  Also take note of the 1-2-3 formation with the Doji Bullish Engulf the last two trading days.  All are strategies that we use here at Hit &Run Candlesticks.

My entry plan idea:  Positive trading above the T-Line
My stop plan idea:   A close back below the T-Line.
