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.

Today’s Swing Trade Ideas

BCOV/Long  (Technology Sector Software Application) After Friday’s breakout on high-volume BCOV  has become a rounded bottom breakout with about 45% profit measuring from the 50 day simple moving average.  Notice the candlestick rounded bottom for the past two weeks.

My entry plan idea:  On a pullback below 6.55 and above the 50sma
My stop plan idea:    A close below the 50sma area

 

Good Morning,

SPY:  At the close on Friday, the SPY printed a hanging man candlestick signal which implies the sellers may try to push price away from its Friday high. Continue Reading

Today’s Swing Trade Ideas

GALT/Long  (Healthcare sector drug manufacturers)  GALT Looks poised for a run positioned in a Rounded Bottom Breakout (RBB) and a Doji continuation pattern or Doji sandwich.  $6.50 would make a good target which equals about 18 1/2%, then about $7.70 which is about 40% away.  At that point, we will then consider the 200-day simple moving average.

My entry plan idea:  Below $5.49 and above the T-Line would be my preference; buying above $5.49 would also work.   Just monitor the pullback.
My stop plan idea:    A close back below the T-Line
