AMD Risk vs. Reward

July 11, 2019 by Rick Saddler

No trades were taken yesterday, July 10, 2010. But we did close AMD for a 21% profit, after being up four days and approaching resistance we felt the risk was a bit high. We will take a 21% base hit all day long. BABA felt some profit taking yesterday, still above our stop. INTC closed above the mid-T-Line Band and + 10.6%. PFE closed back above the mid-T-Line Band with a Morning Star type pattern. SNAP closed with another Doji, still waiting for a breakout. WBA riding the upper T-Line Band looks up pre-market.

Pre-Market Thoughts

For those using the Live Trading Alerts Scanner, the Bull J-Hook scans and the Bull Trap scans are really producing right now.

The SPY gapped up yesterday and held, closing with a Doji between the upper green T-Line Band and the Blue T-Line Band. Price action and the trend are still pointing to bullishness; The market seems to be ok with the FEDS attitude on rates. The past nine candles in the SPY is trying to paint a J-hook continuation picture, a breakout and test would go a long way in justifying a bullish swing over $300.00.

The CBOE Market Volatility Index VIX-X did not have a lick of fear in it as of the close yesterday. Keep in mind that can change with a blink of an eye. The VIX-X closed down another 7.21%, below all T-Line Bands and the Bands are still trending down.

BABA and INTC

July 10, 2019 by Rick Saddler

Life is Simple Just Add Water. Yesterday 7/9/2019 we bought BABA near the lower red T-Line support band and ended the day up 3.3%, a few more buyers and follow-through would make chicken and gravy. We also bought INTC yesterday 7/9/2019 near the lower red T-Line support band, up for the day 2.6%, let the games begin. AMD up 13.9% is working hard to challenge the June 10, candle. SNAP up 18.1%, holding in the T-Bands with a Doji close yesterday. WBA is walking up the Green T-Band looking for a breakout.

Pre-Market Thoughts

After papping down, the SPY closed up 0.37 still floating in the T-Bands and the T-Bands are still trending up. Yesterday candle closed over the previous candle putting a bullish spin on the chart pattern. Now If only the market likes what the FED has to say we could see the $300.00 number tagged and a J-Hook Continuation pattern drawn. Below the Blue band, the Red lower band will be the target ($293.00ish) The VXX chart is trying to hold a bottom but shows no fear at all. If fear kicks in we should see the VXX chart move above $25.10. We are still prepared for chop today while managing our positions.

Chop For A Couple Days?

July 9, 2019 by Rick Saddler

Picked up a little AMD yesterday; AMD alerted from the LTA Scanner Friday with a Bullish Engulf T-Band Breakout and yesterday demonstrated follow-through. We also picked up WBA yesterday with the (RBB) strategy; price is riding the green T-Band line and a Pop Out of The Box Breakout pattern. TGT is still trapped in the Bands now challenging the Green line for a breakout. SNAP holding above price support with a Doji yesterday; follow-through could kick price above the green line for a nice profit.

Full disclosure, we are actively trading all stocks mentioned in the above paragraph. We may close or add more at anytime.

Pre-Market Thoughts

The SPY closed down a Buck .64 yesterday with a Doji between the green and blue T-Band lines. A close today below the blue mid-Line will put the lower red line in the crosshairs. Price above the lower red line keeps the buyers fairly happy, a close below the lower red line will cause some bull discomfort, and the VXX will become active. The 60-Min chart is suggesting $293.05 could be tested before the days end. I suspect the SPY is reluctant to charge upward until it hears what J. Powell has to say about future rate cuts and timing. We are prepared for a choppy couple of days (are you?) The VXX chart has had very little interest by buyer. However, a close above $25.10 will put the VXX chart in the conversation.

J Powell on the Hot Seat

July 8, 2019 by Rick Saddler

Starting Wednesday Jerome Powell is on the hot seat in front of Congress. Earnings season is in the air, so let’s dig out our earnings trading rules. Not much change from last week we did close DIS with the intention of buying it back. PFE is stuck in the trending T-Band Trap. We are up 16% on SNAP and SNAP looks like it wants to be above $15.80. TGT finished last week in good shape running up the lower T-Band. X has been a bit of a pain but Friday it did perform well with a Bullish Engulf and on support. A few stocks we are actively trading and happy to share them with you. Note not all trades are for everyone.

Pre-Market Thoughts

Friday the Buyers took control and closed the SPY above the Open Friday, but could not push us above Wednesday’s close. The trend is still bullish as the players try to push the SPX SP-500 across the 3000 line. For the most part, a SPY close above $294.70 is bullish, below $294.70 would set up a lower band line test. Warning – Earnings start this week. That’s right it’s that time again, earnings, earnings, earnings. The VXX has been dead as a doornail; there simply has not been any fear in this market. Seems to be Bulls everywhere don’t know about you but that makes me a little nervous. Still, we trade the charts for short term profitable swings, not predicting what the future will bring without a chart to back it up.

June Payroll Numbers

July 5, 2019 by Rick Saddler

The June Payroll numbers are out today, might or might not impact the market, the charts tell the story. We closed DIS to fill the need to put a little folding money in our pockets ahead of the 4^th weekend, but we are seriously looking at buying it back next week. PFE still in our bullish T-Line Bands currently up 13%. Wednesday before the close we bought SNAP, a beautiful T-Line Band breakout followed by a flag Pootb chart pattern. X is surely testing my patients; perhaps it is building an Inverted Head and Shoulders, time will tell. A few stocks we are actively trading and happy to share them with you. Note not all trades are for everyone.

Pre-Market Thoughts

Likely a slow day while most of Wall Street is still on the 4^th of July Holiday. I myself will only be here in the morning and the first couple of cups of coffee. Thinking about going fishing today. The SPY busted out Wednesday almost claiming the $300.00 mark, beautiful support bounce off the upper T-Line Band that is drawing a J-Hook Continuation pattern. Price action today will likely be pulled into Monday and Mondays price action will be important. The VXX chart seems perfectly happy sliding downhill, of course until it’s not.

Market Closes Early

July 3, 2019 by Rick Saddler

Market closes early today, don’t forget to make adjustments to your portfolio if you need to. DIS is trending very nice, working slowly to break through the grips of $142.60. KO closed higher yesterday to challenge the recent tops. Green on both DIS and KO. PFE is also showing us the money and challenging the recent tops. TLRY is down, but we are still holding above our stop and the current chart pattern. I was expecting a better job from X; it is still above my support line for now. A few stocks we are actively trading and happy to share them with you. Note not all trades are for everyone.

Have a Great 4th Of July Weekend!!

Pre-Market Thoughts

Market closes early today to and closed all day tomorrow. I seriously doubt today will be much more than chop while most traders are heading out of town. I SPY closed pretty good yesterday, and the futures are pointing to a higher open today. The bullish J-Hook is looking good. Now the bulls just need to keep it going. Let’s keep in mind the SPY 300 mark is only about 5 points away, that could be what the buyers want; we just need to mind the chart and keep track of price action. The VXX showed zero fear yesterday, I think that the chart is already on vacation.

TLRY, KO Bought

July 2, 2019 by Rick Saddler

The week is getting shorter. Yesterday we picked up a few TLRY and KO calls. TLRY because of the highs and lows and it is trying to print a J-Hook Continuation pattern within an (RBB setup) and KO is printing a nice weekly Pop Out of The Box pattern. The trend and bullish pullback on DIS is still setting up, yesterday’s Morning Star helps. The J-Hook continuation pattern on X is still being constructed. A few stocks we are actively trading and happy to share them with you. Note not all trades are for everyone.

Pre-Market Thoughts

For the most part, yesterday was a gap and crap kinda day with the buyers and sellers chopping around, and I would not be surprised if the rest of this week turns out to be more chop (buyers and sellers running into each other). Using Price Action and the T-Line on the 2-day chart below $290.10 the sellers might be taking over, above $290.10 and the buyers still have control. And the SPY is trying to hook out of the upper two bands on the T-Band chart. Yesterday the VXX showed no signs of fear which points to a bullish market, what will today bring us? Trade wisely and don’t push the string, pull it. Some days and even weeks, we are better off taking some time off.

A Short Week OF Trading

July 1, 2019 by Rick Saddler

Every weekend, I say to myself, “Susan, you have to stop drinking wine” Thankfully, I’m not Susan.

A short week of trading starting with a ½ day on Wednesday. Sure is nice to see the futures up. Here are a few I help over the weekend. DIS is setting up inside the T-Bands. KSS had a good Thursday and Friday with last week constructing a turnaround bottom. QCOM is running above the T-Line with the bulls in charge. X is staring a nice little trend; we love the rest run type of patterns. A few stocks we are actively trading and happy to share them with you.

Have a good trading day – Rick

Pre-Market Thoughts

Guess what’s popping today? Yep yep yep the market. The challenge will be price closing over the June 20 high and holding. But heck we are off to a good July start! Follow the trend and manage wisely; today will likely be a good profit day for many. We love the Gap gift and base hits. A positive close over the June high sets us for another J-Hook continuation pattern. Fail the top and close back below the T-Line will put us in the T-Bands again. The VXX is deep below the T-Line, which gives out a now fear attitude. On a little side note, the SPY’s 34-EMA has crossed over the 50-SMA on the daily chart. And you can clearly see a Bullish Inverse Head and Shoulders on both the Dail and weekly SPY chart.

Have a great weekend

In Japanese, the word for Friday

June 28, 2019 by Rick Saddler

In Japanese, the word for Friday is formed from the words kinsei, meaning Venus (which literally translates as “gold + water”) and yōbi, meaning day.

Not much of a change from yesterday, bought a little QCOM. DIS is wondering inside the T-Bands, KSS still trying to construct a bottom, PFE printed a Bullish Harami yesterday, QCOM is building a trend filling the gap, TGT printed a Doji tight on the lower T-Band and X is trying to construct a J-Hook continuation pattern. A few stocks we are actively trading and happy to share them with you.

Have a good trading day – Rick

Pre-Market Thoughts

Who else will be glad when the G20 Summit is over? OMG, the presidential debates are starting, gonna be a long year listening to all the B.S. Crap!…. Your thinking the same but we digress. Yesterday the SPY printed a Doji (Indecision) near the June 11, candle and near the top green T-Band line. Downside follow-through could be around $286.552. It wouldn’t take much to fire the buyers up to challenge the $293.70 which would set us up for a challenge of the recent highs. The VXX 2-hour chart ended the day below the T-Line, and the FNGU chart ended the day above the T-Line and above the Dotted Deuce looking at the 200-SMA. As always be reducing your trading risk and increasing profitable probabilities.

Have a great weekend
