Today’s Swing Trade Ideas

BCOV/Long  (Technology Sector Software Application)  I first mentioned BCOV as a possible trade two days ago (November 3) as a rounded bottom breakout with about 45% possible profit measuring from the 50-day simple moving average to the 200-day simple moving average.  Prices rallied slightly with an inside day yesterday and now about 24% to target.  I am watching for a PBO J-Hook set up.

My entry plan idea:  (Currently own @ 6.67) Will add on a bullish candle
My stop plan idea:    A close below the 50 SMA

Today’s Swing Trade Ideas

GPRO/Long  (Consumer Cyclical Sector Leisure)   Other than two wicks overlapping each other by just a few pennies, GPRO has formed a bullish island reversal pattern and gapped over the big three.  Closing yesterday at $84.32 sets GPRO up for testing $100 again and possibly moving higher.  As we all know, not all candlestick patterns are guaranteed, follow through is a must.

My entry plan idea:  (Bought yesterday @ $84.28) To add to GPRO above the 50 DMA or a breakout of $85.40
My stop plan idea:    A close below the 50 SMA area

Good Morning,

SPY:   What is a healthy pullback?  Most traders realize that to have a healthy bullish trend we also need healthy pullbacks as well.  So what is a healthy pullback? Continue Reading

Morning Star Candlestick Pattern

If you’ve ever wished upon a star, I hope that that star was a Morning Star candlestick pattern. Unlike the Evening Star, an omen that hints at bad things to come (i.e., low stock prices), the Morning Star is a sign of good fortune. If you spot this bullish reversal signal, which is composed of three candles, you can expect stock prices to increase. Although the bears have been in control, the bulls are ready and able to take over. To learn how to spot the Morning Star signal, how to decipher its characteristics, and how to interpret its meaning, just scroll down.
