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

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

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

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

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
