Profits On MCD

June 10, 2019 by Rick Saddler

💲 Another great day this past Friday closed out the last ½ of MCD for a 50.9% base hit or $410.00. Knowing how to make sense of a chart, the LTA Live Trading Alert Scanner and the Hit and Run family is the best of the best. All buys and closes announced in HRC Live Trading Room, be sure to tune in starting at 9:10 Eastern when I’ll review the markets, trade ideas.

👀 The Bull did it’s a thing again on Friday, gapping and closing above the 50-SMA followed by four higher closes (AMAZING). We have added a resistance line because of the multiple touches between the buys and sellers at $289.20. There is no question the 👈Bulls have had a great run, and we may even see more of it today, the close is what will count. Over the 50-SMA was major and the bull deserves a rest but not required. A close over $289.20 would be another amazing day, and unfortunately, the FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) sickness will hit many swing traders, let’s not forget the 3-day rule, plan your trades and wait for the trap to work. Price in the VXX 15-Min chart is still trading below the T-Line Red Dots, and the FNGU 15-Min chart is trading above the T-Line Green Dots. At Friday’s close.

👉Bought MCD on June 4th, July 19 $125.00 Calls. Closed on June 7, for a 💲 50% profit. 😎 I’ll take a Big Mac, Fries, and a Coke, please.

🎯 CRON is one we are stalking this week on our watchlist; If you look at a 3-day chart, you can see the Double Bottom and Bullish Engulf. We are bullish on CRON over $16.00 with a qualified chart pattern. CRON alerted a couple of times last week on the #1 Tool in my toolbox “The LTA Live Trading Alert Scanner? Members are sure to be in the trading room about 9:10 Eastern when I review the markets, trade ideas, and CRON.

Friday SPY Nearing 50-SMA

June 7, 2019 by Rick Saddler

💲 Yesterday 6/6/19 we closed AMD for an 89% win and SNAP for 82% win. AIG has a small gain and MCD we are holding at an 18% gain; we did close ½ MCD yesterday near the close (love the base hits). All buys and closes are announced in HRC Live Trading Room, Be sure to tune in starting at 9:10 Eastern when I’ll review the markets, trade ideas.

Another fine day in the market for Thursday even with the nail biters waiting for the Friday Jobs number. Good or bad? Your guess is a good as mine; we will know after the blog is posted. The SPY weekly chart has printed a near Bullish Engulf. Follow through over $284.80, challenge and win the pin of the 50-day SMA would suggest the bulls are back in town. Anything short of closing over the 50-SMA or a weak candle by the end of the day would but a possible Blue Ice Failure on the table. With as much as the SPY has rallied, you would think a little profit taking would be in order. The VXX pre-market is not giving any clues just yet, and the FNGU (FANG) chart is showing a nice little gap, so much can happen in a day of trading.

👉 The two charts below 👇 are AMD and SNAP both closed yesterday for 89% and 82%. I thought you might find them educational and helpful; please feel free to ask questions about them in the trading room if you like.

🎯 It’s Friday, and I don’t post trade ideas on Friday, but we do cover trades and the market in the trading room starting at 9:10 am “The LTA Live Trading Alert Scanner, and TC2000 are my #1 tools I trade with?

AIG Morning Star Sweet Spot

June 6, 2019 by Rick Saddler

Yesterday 6/5/19 we closed BABA for a small loss and 💲 closed KO for 50% profit a good day all in all AIG, AMD, and SNAP held well into yesterdays close. We will monitor them carefully. We also picked up a little MCD near the close yesterday. All buys and closes are announced in HRC Live Trading Room Be sure to tune in starting at 9:10 Eastern when I’ll review the markets, trade ideas.

The SPY had another Bullish day yesterday trying to defy gravity (don’t bet on that for too long we are very overextended) We had a target line drawn for the SPY and missed it by .01. The number for the bulls to beat now is $284.20, followed by a $285.70. I would expect a little profit taking and backfilling before these numbers can be challenged. On a profit-taking pullback, I will be using $278.90 as support. The VXX is a little active this morning, and I did discuss the VXX and the intraday candles yesterday near the close in the HRC Trading Room.

🎯 AIG is one we are stalking today on our watchlist; we already own the August 50.00 Calls and would like to add to the position. AIG is currently sitting in the T-Line Band Sweet Spot following a bullish Morning Star Signal. AIG also has been alerting on the #1 Tool in my toolbox “The LTA Live Trading Alert Scanner?

ROKU 3×8 Trap Setup

June 5, 2019 by Rick Saddler

Yesterday 6/4/19 we closed ½ of SNAP for a sweet 27% base hit as the market began to draw to an end. We also picked up a little BABA ending the day up 11% based on the 60-min chart and an (RBB) Rounded Bottom Breakout. AIG and KO and AMD are doing fine and holding well.

POW! What a great day yesterday, price action took out our $280.10 line and pre-market today have already tagged our $282.50 line. Yesterday’s price action as great as it was, the SPY chart is still in a downtrend. When price closed over the downtrend line and constructed a bottom we will have a ton of nice long charts to choose from, but first thing first. The bulls will need to challenge the $283.00 line followed by $286.00. By following the 3×8 Trap, you will be able to see when the 3-EMA is above the T-Line, that will be a sign the SPY is in a bullish direction. At the close of yesterday, the trend is still down.

🎯 ROKU is one we are stalking today on our watchlist, ROKU is in a T-Line Run and yesterday was triggering on the LTA Scanner as a 3×8 Trap, and the LTA T-Line Band alert was going off “Sweet Spot-Sweet-Spot.” Members, be sure to be in the trading room about 9:10 Eastern when I’ll review the markets, trade ideas, and ROKU. More trade Ideas we will consider FSLR, CECE, LMT, AIG.

AIG Setting Up

June 4, 2019 by Rick Saddler

We covered, or PG put yesterday for a 14% profit after the Bullish Harami on the daily chart and the chart pattern of the 15-min and 60-min charts. AMD did not trigger yesterday, AMD failed to break out into the pattern buy area, but we will wait and be patient. AIG is setting up inside the T-Line Bands currently a PBO winding up for a J-Hook continuation pattern. Learn more in our live trading room.

Yesterday was the second day below the 200-SMA and came within .67 of testing the March 8 low. Make no mistake the sellers are controlling the current trend, but even the bears allow relief rallies if only to bring in new sheep. Yesterdays Doji may have been enough indecision to produce a relief rally. Yesterday I mentioned I saw a few bright spots in the charts; this could be the beginning. A relief rally to about $280.10 would make sense because of the recent support/resistance. The VXX chart has backed off overnight, opening the door for the buyers to open the door. Remember it’s the close today that counts. The FNGU 15-min chart shows price over the T-Line pre-market, the question now is can the buyers hold there course.

200-SMA Tested

June 3, 2019 by Rick Saddler

Last week we bought PG- Procter & Gamble, August $110 Puts as price action was showing signs of weakness and failing the 50-SMA. At Friday’s close, the sellers still outnumbered the buyers. To learn more about the PG put currently up 23% join us in the HRC Trading Room.

The sellers continue to dominate the with another lower close Friday. Fridays gapped and closed right through the 200-SMA also closing below the Dotted Deuce. The March 8^th low $274.45 seems likely as the next possible test for price action on the daily chart. This summer is the summer of the trade war and more importantly, a summer to respect the trend. In our efforts to remain profitable, we find that going back to basics is the best approach. Trade with the trend, when the market trend is down, we find it easier to make money shorting or buying puts. We will hold fast to our trading rules and continue to trade for base hits. Let us all be care full not to overtrade or try to force trades because we think we have to trade something every day.

Hammer, 200-SMA, Lots To Consider

May 30, 2019 by Rick Saddler

The SPY printed a Hammer yesterday after a gap down finding the 200-SMA as we have been talking about the past week, on fairly strong volume yesterday. The T2122New High/Low Ratio chart from TC2000 is at a low 4.35. The weekly chart is sitting on the 50-period moving average while the monthly chart is printing a Bearish Engulf, there no doubt the sellers are holding the cards, the buyers are just not giving up very easy. Bullish follow-through above yesterdays Hammer (above $278.90) should produce a small relief rally to maybe to the $280.60 area. Many reading this knows how much I like the RBB chart setup, and the VXX is, in fact, one of these setups. Price is now above the 50-SMA and looks to be determined to challenge the 200-SMA. The VXX has challenged the 200-SMA a couple of time the last few months, and if the VXX can stay below the 200-SMA, the markets should be safe from disaster but not choppy trading. If the VXX finds a path above the 200-SMA, the market could be in a little trouble. Good trading my friends.

The Trend IS Your Friend

May 28, 2019 by Rick Saddler

“The Trend is your friend” The key is to work with a trend that compliments your trading style. When the trend and your trading style come together as one, your engine will run smoother. Years ago, I discovered the power of the 34-EMA and the T-Line (8-EMA) when putting on the same chart. If the T-Line is below the 34-EMA, the trend is bearish. While watching for signs of a bullish reversal. This strategy using the T-Line and the 34-EMA can be used on indices, stocks, or ETF’s such as the SPY, DIA, IWM, VXX, AAPL, FDX, KO, and INTC to name a few. The SPY closed Friday’s candle and the T-Line below the 34-EMA suggesting the current trend is still negative, and the sellers have control. The trend is currently pointing at the 200-SMA with a possible bullish relief rally along the way.

The LTA Scanner can filter out charts that are trending, up or down and alert on charts that have Candlestick signals and patterns, western patterns and when indicators, such as MACD, Stochastics, RSI or Bollinger Bands have crossed or reaches the desired level. The right tools for the job.

Relief Rally Warrented

May 24, 2019 by Rick Saddler

#1 Alert scanning tool in the world was the key to profiting 35% in ROKU, 34% in SPY Puts, and 51% in TZA yesterday. It’s Friday the start of a 3-day weekend Honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S military.

Yesterday the trading gods gapped us down out of and below the T-Line Bands to a $280.57 in the SPY before closing a bit higher at $282.14. The morning futures are pointing to a higher open. As of yesterday the recent low of May 13, is safe but will it last? The current trend is still weak, with price below the Bands and a bearish trend line above. The T-Line is below the 34-EMA, and the 17-EMA has breached the 34-EMA as well. The T2122 chart dropped to 10.6 yesterday triggering an oversold condition, and a relief rally is warranted. The VXX chart produced a Bull Kicker yesterday from a higher low pull back closing in the now bull trending bands, keep your eyes on the VXX chart, it can be very telling.

Bears Defending Blue Ice Failure

May 23, 2019 by Rick Saddler

Live Trading Alerts Scanner update v1.17.422 is available; We are still holding ROKU, SPY puts, TZA, XRX puts, GE, and PEP they were all brought to us via the LTA Scanner like a waiter brings a cold beer and Steak. The right tools for the right job.

It looks to me that the SPY still has a date with our pair of deuces $277.40 – $277.8. The Bears are defending the Blue Ice failure pattern pretty well; the T-Line Bands are being driven by a bear with price action below the red and green line. The T-Line is below the Volatility Dots, and yesterdays candle action closed below the T-Line. The T2122 chart (4wk New High/Low Ratio) has dropped to about 26, and it’s moving average is being pushed down as well. I have heard from many traders they are having trouble, so am I, remember to for trades that are working in your favor and the goes for the overall market, have you looked at IYT, IWM lately.
