Today’s Swing Trade Ideas

ACHN/Long  (Healthcare Biotechnology)
Is trying to put together a Doji continuation pattern, some know it as a (Doji sandwich) above the big three and after constructing a two-week base.  ACHN was also a featured trade idea on October 17.  As of the close yesterday we are still looking for approximately 20% in this position.

My entry plan idea:   Accumulate below $12 and above $11.60
My stop plan idea:   A close below $11.60

Good Morning,

SPY:  Yesterday the Bulls were able to close above 192.70 and the 20 day simple moving average.  There is no doubt that the Bulls have had a fantastic rally the…

VHC/Long (Technology Software Infrastructure) VHC is set up as one of our Pinball strategies with a double bottom and what looks like a reverse cup and handle. The Pinball setup was actually three days ago, but yesterday the buyers painted a Bullish Engulf closing over the 20 SMA and the T-Line. Based on Pinball rules, we look at the 34 EMA as the target direction and with 39% possible, how can we pass up this trade. Last Tuesday night, the members’ e-learning was dedicated to the Pinball setup. You can find the video in the members’ area under “archived videos.”

My entry plan idea:   An inside day, buy below yesterday’s high and above yesterday’s low.
My stop plan idea:   A close below the T-Line

Yesterday in the trading room we exercised our right to be profit traders:

Closed SHLD for 28.97%,
Closed ESI for 39.74%,
SVXY currently up 10.28% on the profit trader list,
SCOK currently up 8.25% on the profit trader list.

ANAC/Long (Healthcare Biotechnology) ANAC is poised to break out of $27.28. The bullish trend has allowed a pull back to the 50-day moving average forming a very nice little rounded bottom J-Hook chart pattern. The $29.50 area could be the next target.

My entry plan idea:   Buy on positive trading above the T-Line and 20 SMA or a breakout
My stop plan idea:   A close below $24.14

Good Morning,

SPY: Friday’s Doji close below the T-Line implies the sellers are still in control of the T-Line trend…

ACHN/Long- (Healthcare Biotechnology) ACHN Has had bullish support for the past 12 days while the overall market had been drowning. In that 12 day stretch I see a series of low – high – higher highs, two sets of them. In the last five days has produced three Doji’s a Bullish Engulf with follow-through that squeezed the big three nice and tight. With 25% to the recent high and about 47% to the $16 area makes ACHN our featured trade idea.

My entry plan idea:   Positive trading over the 50 SMA

My stop plan idea: End of day close below 50 SMA

• Closed out 2 day BIDU trade for $2,300

Good Morning,

SPY: First and foremost, I am not at all convinced that this is the big reversal we’re looking for, and always monitor your charts for support and resistance…
For now, I am looking at Wednesday’s low to be a tradable low with a target near the 200-day simple moving average around $190.75. If you were to take just the two candle bodies of Wednesday and Thursday, the market painted a bullish belthold. The bullish belthold reversal pattern has the ability to send us to the 200-day simple moving average with possibly even more, but we need more proof for that.

 IWM: Wednesday IWM painted a double bottom morningstar bullish engulf off of the 50% Fibonacci retracement line with bullish follow-through closing over the T-Line Thursday. That’s a lot of bullish reversal checkmarks. Yesterday in the trading room, the bullish scanner was spinning nearly out of control with bullish charts and patterns showing up everywhere. Please don’t get me wrong. I definitely do not think this correction is completely over; however, I do see a very tradable rally. About $110 will be a very important number for IWM to beat.

• Short-term swing traders should be ecstatic with yesterday’s close over the T-Line.

TKMR/Long (Healthcare Sector Biotechnology) TKMR has been trending nicely from late July this year with little rallies and pullbacks.  It has recently pulled back to the 20-day simple moving average and formed a bullish harami yesterday.  The lower wick is not quite long enough to call a hammer.  A swing from yesterday’s close to the recent high is about 25% — excellent money in its own right and about 30% to a double-top test.  Most everyone in the Hit & Run Candlesticks trading room either owns it now or is considering it.  Thank you to all the members that have been talking about it and posting this ticker in the room.

My entry plan idea:   (Currently own shares at 23.20) Will consider adding more above the 20-day period moving average and on a breakout of the T-Line
My stop plan idea:  A close below 22.35
