UVXY/Long (Ultra Vix Short Term Futures ETF) UVXY was first posted on our members watch-list on January 16 as a chart to watch and trade accordingly to the market, it started hinting a PBO buy on January 23 and has had a 34% run.  The continuation pattern of the last three days last week and the close over the 200 day simple moving average suggest there is still bullish interest.

BSFT/Short (Technology)  On January 15, BSFT printed a bearish engulf that also engulfed the big three.  For the past week, price has just move sideways at the lower end of the trading range and yesterday printed another bearish engulf.  A break below $27.10 would set BSFT in motion to possibly retest the 200-period moving average.

Possible entry plan idea:  Weakness below $27.10
Possible stop plan idea:    A close above $27.30

Yesterday’s short on Yahoo worked out very well in the trading room and looks as if the selling may continue. Yesterday was a rough day, and most everybody had to reevaluate their trading account, maybe even close a few losing trades.  I did.  As you know, stock trading is risky, and there are some days that the bears win; please don’t let anyone tell you or convince you of anything different.  The score should be kept over a week or a month, not for one day.  We try to teach and educate in the trading room and do not advocate following anyone into a trade.

Good Morning, 

SPY:  It’s pretty obvious that I really don’t have to tell you how rough yesterday was if you are 100% bullish.  If you are able to shift gears and start catching a Continue Reading

ATEN/Long (Technology) ATEN is no stranger to our trading room, a few weeks ago many from the room profited from this chart.  On January 15 ATEN posted a low followed by an inside day (bullish Harami), followed by a high then a higher low.  Friday printed and 8.27% candle and the chart appears to be on its way to a J-Hook breakout.  I will be watching for 20% move or about the $6.50 area as the first target then price may climb through the window.
