Today’s Swing Trade Ideas

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

ONTY/Long (Healthcare Biotechnology)   A four-month rounded bottom is setting up with the right-side moneymaker still ahead of us.  Moving averages are starting to flip to a bullish direction.  December 12 saw large buyers stepping in with profit taking.  I see a low high, higher low and higher high developing with a Doji and a Bullish Engulf the last two trading days.

My entry plan idea:  Buy on positive trading above yesterday’s low $1.78 and on positive trading above $1.95
My stop plan idea:  A close below $1.78

XOOM/Long  (Financial services)  X00M was in gap a couple days ago closing over the 50-day simple moving average creating a rounded bottom breakout pattern on a strong bullish candle.  Yesterday a Doji was formed above the 50-day simple moving average and in the upper half of Wednesday’s bullish candle creating a Doji continuation pattern or a Doji sandwich.  There may be a little consolidation which would open the door for a better price entry.

My entry plan idea:  In the buy box – between $15.86 and 16.98
My stop plan idea:  A close below $15.86

DGLY/Long  (Technology sector)  After forming a bullish kicker on December 2 and a small rally, profit taking took over pulling the chart back to its 50-day simple moving average where it started to create a bottom.  Tuesday formed an inverted hammer followed by yesterday’s gap above the 20-day simple moving average and the Doji.  In the recent past, you can also see a bullish “W” pattern.

My entry plan idea:  In the buy box – between $13.22 and $17.03
My stop plan idea:  A close below $13.19

Good Morning, 

SPY:   In yesterday’s morning email I posted a pretty picture of what I thought yesterday would end up (bullish morning star).  We had the bullish inverted hammer in place; we just needed the bullish candle follow-through and like magic, it appeared.  It wasn’t magic; it was reading the candlestick signals.  Continue Reading

UBNT/Long  (Communication Equipment) UBNT has formed a double bottom with a Doji Bullish Engulf in early December and a Doji continuation pattern in the last three bars.  A close over the 50-day simple moving average yesterday has set up the rounded bottom breakout pattern.

My entry plan idea:  Ideally buy above $30.74 and below $32.77 or buy on positive trading above yesterday’s high.
My stop plan idea:    On a bearish candlestick signal below 30.74.

Good Morning,
