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.

Good Morning, 

SPY:   Friday’s close was below the T-Line suggesting the short-term sellers are in control.  When this occurs, it’s important to be patient and wait Continue Reading

REN / Long (Energy sector)  REN is a pinball setup with about 39% to the pinball target.  REN is a 1-2-3 chart with a confirmed bullish morning star that has now closed back above the T-Line and the 20-day simple moving average.  The chart is still in a confirmed downtrend; therefore, we are only looking for a relief rally.

My entry plan idea:  Inside day with a close over the 20-day period moving average would be nice.
My stop plan idea:   A close back below the T-Line.

Trade management is so very important.

Good Morning, 

SPY:   Prices closed back down through the T-Line which means the bullish swing trader has lost control until a bullish reversal signal and

My stop plan idea:

Remember last week we were talking about KNDI? How would you have liked to have bought it on the 23rd? KNDI was a trading room call at 11.36 on the 23rd
