Great Advice on Taking Partial Exits
MSTR is a good example of the “Partial Profit” or “Let it Ride” exit strategy. I entered the breakout-pullback setup at $84, with a target under the old high a limit order set at $89.85 (I always set the target a little below the round number). From there I move…

FCX and PCU: Great Long and Short Setups
PCU and FCX are on fire. Technically, they look great on a pullback to support for long entry. However, they are very extended. Take a look at the distance from the 50 day moving average. I think we are due for a snap back. I will likely short on more…
