Today’s Swing Trade Ideas

APT/Long (Healthcare Medical Devices) APT had a huge run a few weeks ago, it’s now pulled back to the 50 day simple moving average and near a double bottom. It appears it’s gapping this morning and $4.15 will be an important area to hold. APT has the potential of a swing trade of 20% to the 20 day simple moving average and another 37% to the crown.

My entry plan idea:  (Currently own @ 3.78) Buy on positive trading above $4.15
My stop plan idea:    A close below $4.14

Good Morning,

SPY: Yesterday I wrote that if the bulls could defend the 50-day simple moving average and price close above it, I would remain…

SPEX/Long (Industrial Sector Business Services) SPEX has been forming a fry pan bottom for the last four months and recently closed over the 50-day simple moving average on volume. It then consolidated for a few weeks and is now back over the 50-day simple moving average with the T-Line and the 20-day simple moving average following price. With the close of Friday, we have formed a rounded bottom breakout. With about 90% possible profit to the 200-day simple moving average, SPEX could be a profit maker. Back on September 30, I did buy and have continued to hold. As of Friday’s close with a 12% profit, SPEX is now set up to grab a good piece of that 90% possible profit.

My entry plan idea:  (Already long) Buy or add more on an intraday pullback
My stop plan idea:   A close below the 50-day simple moving average for now

Good Morning,

SPY: I would suspect that all eyes will be watching what price does with the…

My entry plan idea:  Inside day buy

Good Morning,

SPY:  Admittedly, I was not expecting the bullish open yesterday on the SPY, but then again, it did close with a possible…

ISNS/Long  (Technology Sector Software Application)  ISNS is setting up to possibly be one of our Rounded Bottom Breakouts (RBB).  It hasn’t broken out over the 50-day moving average yet, but if it does, it could easily run to the 200- period moving average which is about 15% from the 50-period moving average.  ISNS has been trading in a bearish manner for a few weeks.  A few days ago, a Bullish Engulf was printed followed by a couple of Doji’s and then another very small Bullish Engulf with a volume breakout, yesterday’s close over the T-Line and the 20-period  moving average.

My entry plan idea:  Below 3.33 and above the T-Line

My stop plan idea:   A close below the T-Line

Good Morning,

SPY:  Yesterday, a bearish dark cloud cover was printed on the SPY after reaching a new high into resistance.  A bearish dark cloud cover does not necessarily mean…

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%,

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 stop plan idea:   A close below $24.14

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.

Trade Rules to Survive

 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.
