Yesterday I entered GMCR off a breakout-pullback setup at $93.44. Stop is under support and the target is the recent high around $98. This gives me a 3:1 reward to risk ratio.

Today’s Entry: DIG
I entered DIG today. The stock has broke out over a W formation and the 50 day moving average. Another positive is the positive RSI divergence. An entry here around $34.80, with a stop at $33.80 (under suppport) and target at the old high around $38 offers a nice 3:1…

Today’s Trades: CAT, UAUA and TOL

Oversold Bounce Setup: GLD
My recent GLD entry was based on the oversold bounce setup. I only took a 1/3 position today, and will add to it if GLD nears the 50 day moving average, which would offer me a better risk ratio.

GS Nearing Bounce Level
GS is oversold and nearing a strong area of support. If the stock drops a few more points today, an oversold bounce entry would provide a low risk trade.

Today’s Entry: JEC
I went long JEC today as an oversold bounce setup. Stop is fairly tight.
