As you know, Hit and Run Candlesticks does not issue Featured Trade Ideas on Fridays.  That is especially true heading into what may turn into a 5 day weekend for the market (With Independence Day falling on Wednesday and Tuesday being a half day, I don’t anticipate much market action Friday, Monday or Tuesday.  So it is quite possible there won’t be much trading volume until at least Thursday 7/5.

That said, the UAA trade did not execute on Thursday.  However, UAA had a nice day, it just did not meet my stringent entry criteria of breaking resistance.  If it gets going and breaks out on Friday, I will Enter the trade as planned.  Nothing has fundamentally changed and, in fact, I am more confident the Bullish Flag has been broken.  The means the J-hook breakout is more probable Friday morning than it was Thursday morning.  So, if UAA triggers an Entry Friday, I will enter that trade as originally planned.

Instead of planning a new trade, we’ll use Friday’s to check the performance of our trades to date, check on our open trades and adjust and positions as needed.

Bear in mind that this update covers the period up through  6-28-18.

If you click the green button below, you’ll be able to watch a video where I review all closed and Open positions, as well as the unexecuted position that we may open on Friday, depending on the market.  I discuss each trade and why I adjust my positions using Trader Vision 20/20 software.

With market action expected to be light on Friday, Monday and Tuesday (in front of the July 4th Holiday) we are opening up the trading room to the public.  So, please be our guest and jooin us for some free education.  The planned schedule is below and you’ll find our community has a good time while accomplishing a lot.   Here is a direct ling to the trading room.

Today’s Featured Trade Idea is UAA.

You can read more about this trade in Rick’s blog post here.  Members can also see his detailed review in the trading room at 9:10am Eastern.  For now, here is my analysis and a potential trade plan made using our Trader Vision 20/20 software.

UAA has been in a strong Bullish Trend the last 3 months.  The last couple weeks it has been forming a Bullish Flag or Pullback Opportunity.  On Wednesday, it broke out of the down trend of the Flag (against a Bearish overall market).  On a breakout (above recent resistance), I’ll look for an Entry about $23.55, using a Stop below another S/R level and up to 3 Targets drawn from a Weekly chart.  Below is my markup of the chart and the trade plan as laid out by Trader Vision 20/20.  As a bonus, if you click the green button below, you’ll be able to watch a video of the chart markup and trade planning process.

The UAA Trade Plan

Note how Trader Vision 20/20 does so much of the work for you.  Knowing the overall risk of the position size, risk to Stop out and Reward possible at each Target we see this trade offers between 3.5:1 and 5.4:1 Reward/Risk Ratio.  Knowing the Risk is low and the potential Reward good.  Knowing the Risk, Reward and how far a stock must move to reach our goal…before a trade…really takes the pressure off.  No guesswork.  No surprises.  No emotional roller coaster.

Trader Vision immediately simplified the process…immediately it provided that information and guidance to me. I knew what I would risk for how much reward, I began taking trades off at the 1st target, 2nd target, I was no longer holding all my trades for the homerun. I also began implementing the stop losses if and when they were reached, not just hoping the stock would recover.  It then became easier to see what patterns were working for me and which were not.  It provided a much more relaxed and stress-free environment. –Joan G

Today’s Featured Trade Idea is DO.

You can read more about this trade in Rick’s blog post here.  Members can also see his detailed review in the trading room at 9:10am Eastern.  For now, here is my analysis and a potential trade plan made using our Trader Vision 20/20 software.

DO printed a large Bearish Engulfing signal to enter a Blue Ice Failure pattern on Monday.  With overall markets also Bearish, I will look for a retest of the 50sma to get a better entry and use the failure at that level to protect my Stop above the 50sma.  While the pattern target is usually the 200sma, I will use a potential Support level between the two as Target #1.  Target #2 is also a potential Support area near the 200sma.  Below is my markup of the chart and the trade plan as laid out by Trader Vision 20/20.  As a bonus, if you click the green button below, you’ll be able to watch a video of the chart markup and trade planning process.

The DO (Short) Trade Plan

Note how Trader Vision 20/20 does so much of the work for you.  The anticipated second Target price would generate a 7.67% gain and the second target an overall gain of 9.52%.  We also see that the Risk is low and the potential Reward good.  Knowing the Risk, Reward and how far a stock must move to reach our goal…before a trade…really takes the pressure off.  No guesswork.  No surprises.  No emotional roller coaster.

Today’s Featured Trade Idea is AVEO.

You can read more about this trade in Rick’s blog post here.  For now, here is my analysis and a potential trade plan made using our Trader Vision 20/20 software.

AVEO has formed a Rounded Bottom Breakout pattern and printed a Bullish Engulfing signal on Friday.  I will look for an Entry on the breakout with a Stop set below the two Support Levels shown.  The Targets used were defined as Support/Resistance levels using the Weekly Chart.  Below is my markup of the chart and the trade plan as laid out by Trader Vision 20/20.  As a bonus, if you click the green button below, you’ll be able to watch a video of the chart markup and trade planning process.

The AVEO Trade Plan

Note how Trader Vision 20/20 does so much of the work for you.  As we see above, Trader Vision shows you that the stock only needs to move 9.39% to make the Goal for the trade (not even to the first Target), while the anticipated second Target price would generate a 14.69% overall gain.  We also see that the Risk is low and the potential Reward good.  Knowing the Risk, Reward and how far a stock must move to reach our goal…before a trade…really takes the pressure off.  No guesswork.  No surprises.  No emotional roller coaster.

As you know, Hit and Run Candlesticks does not issue Featured Trade Ideas on Fridays.  That said, 2 of our trades this week did not execute.  Nothing on either of those charts has changed fundamentally.  So, if either EPC or SDOW trigger an Entry Friday, we will enter those trades as originally planned.

Instead of planning a new trade, we’ll use Friday’s to check the performance of our trades to date, check on our open trades and adjust and positions as needed.

Bear in mind that this update covers the period up through  6-21-18 (only 3 weeks of trade ideas).

As you Thursday was a rough day for the market.  For our account, we were stopped out of one trade (GTN) but stopped out at a profit.  So, no real damage was done.  By using Trader Vision 20/20 to plan and manage our trade risk, we’ve still put $over $2300 in profit away in 3 weeks…doing only one trade per day, taking Friday’s off and having a couple trades not execute.  Not too bad in my book.

If you click the green button below, you’ll be able to watch a video where I review all closed and Open positions, as well as the 2 unexecuted positions that we may open Friday depending on the market.  I discuss each trade and why I adjust my positions using Trader Vision 20/20 software.

Rick is out Friday, but you are welcome to join me in the trading room at 9:10am Eastern as I fill in today.

Today’s Featured Trade Idea is EPC.

Normally, you can read more about this trade, see Rick’s blog post here.  However, Rick is out of the office on a family emergency.  Nonetheless, members can listen to a detailed analysis of the market in the trading room at 9:10am Eastern.

For now, here is my analysis and a potential trade plan made using our Trader Vision 20/20 software.

EPC has been forming a bottom for 3 months.  It is now in both a Rounded Bottom Breakout and Inverted Head & Shoulders pattern.  Now it has formed a Pullback Opportunity (J-hook in progress) and printed a Hammer on Wednesday.  I will look for an Entry on the breakout with a Stop set below the Resistance Level broken to get there.  The Targets used were defined as Support/Resistance levels using the Weekly Chart.  Below is my markup of the chart and the trade plan as laid out by Trader Vision 20/20.  As a bonus, if you click the green button below, you’ll be able to watch a video of the chart markup and trade planning process.

KHC has been forming a bottom for 3 months.  It is now in both a Rounded Bottom Breakout and Inverted Head & Shoulders pattern.  Tuesday it printed a nice Bullish Engulfing signal.  I will look for an Entry at Monday’s High with a Stop set below the Resistance Level broken Tuesday.  The Targets used were defined as Support/Resistance levels using the Weekly Chart.  Below is my markup of the chart and the trade plan as laid out by Trader Vision 20/20.  As a bonus, if you click the green button below, you’ll be able to watch a video of the chart markup and trade planning process.

Today’s Featured Trade Idea is SDOW.

To read more about this trade, see Rick’s blog post here.  However, members can listen to his detailed analysis in the trading room at 9:10am Eastern.

For now, here is my analysis and a potential trade plan made using our Trader Vision 20/20 software.

SDOW has been in a serious downtrend for some time as the Bulls have been in charge.  However, on overnight TRade fears (the President’s threat to add another $200billion to the tariffs imposed on China) the Dow futures are diving lower overnight.  This is a very unsettled market picture, as it would be easy for calmer heads to “walk back” the threats, but equally possible the Chinese could retaliate in their own “message through the media.”  So, I will be looking to force the SDOW Bulls (market Bears) to demonstrate follow-through above the 50sma before looking to Enter.  Even then, I’ll only look for a short-term move and hope to catch a pop up to the 200sma. Below is my markup of the chart and the trade plan as laid out by Trader Vision 20/20.  As a bonus, if you click the green button below, you’ll be able to watch a video of the chart markup and trade planning process.

Today’s Featured Trade Idea is OMI.

Rick had a family emergency today and cannot do a morning blog post.  However, members can listen to his detailed analysis in the trading room at 9:10am Eastern.

Nonetheless, for now, here is my analysis and a potential trade plan made using our Trader Vision 20/20 software.

OMI has formed a bottom over the last few months.  It has broken into an RBB pattern and is right at the next potential Resistance level.  On a breakout, we can have a defined, small risk looking for a run up into the next potential resistance level (defined on the Weekly chart).  Below is my markup of the chart and the trade plan as laid out by Trader Vision 20/20.  As a bonus, if you click the green button below, you’ll be able to watch a video of the chart markup and trade planning process.
