Support Becomes Resistance for SSO
Following the recent breakdown, old support has become resistance. This offers a low risk short entry near R levels.

Divergence in T2108
It’s interesting that the T2108 is not at new lows while SSO and QLD have hit new lows. This tells us that there are more stocks above their 40 day moving averaged now, at new lows, than there were at the last higher low. This positive divergence leads me to…

RIMM: Patiently Awaiting Entry
I like RIMM‘s recent price and volume action. However, it is in overbought territory, so I’ll wait for a pullback. The pullback must continue to create a nice accumulation pattern. High volume on the pullback negates the setup.

Today’s Trades: APOL and AFAM
APOL and AFAM. Both have been on the focus list of the Trade Report since last week. I had buy stops in place near support and just exited half the positions. Stops have been moved up to entry level.

A Good Day and SSO Stop
Needless to say, today was a good day for me, as all four of my trades based on the “bottoming thesis” did quite well. I received a number of questions about my stop on SSO. I’ll go into more detail tomorrow. I was stopped out of half my position, but…

Trade Update: SSO, FXI, ALK, LHCG
Here are the trades I made yesterday, as noted in the intraday alert I sent Trade Report members: I made a few long entries earlier today. I decided to cut my position size from what I was originally planning. The lack of postive accumulation (volume) made it tough to make…

OT: Poker and the $5915 Hand
Today I won the second biggest pot in my relatively short poker playing career–$5915. Some of you may think I was crazy to call all-in with a two pair, but my bank roll could easily cover the loss and I had my opponent on a flush draw (he had made…

Quick Update
I just made a few buys, but decided to reduce position size more than my original plan. More details soon.

SSO Provides Low Risk Entry
While the “edge” or probability for the trade may be 50 percent or less (accumulation pattern is not what it was a week ago), SSO does provide a low risk entry point that can be easily managed with a stop under the recent lows. I am willing to take low…

The FXI Answer
I left my analysis of FXI open ended in the last post and a few of you seem to think I was bearish! The pattern is in fact quite bullish, and points to a bottom formation. Compare the current volume pattern to that during the top and bear run. For…

China’s Chart Give’s a Clear Answer
The FXI weekly chart is quite illuminating and a good example of the importance of volume. What does the current volume pattern tell us? Compare to the previous volume patterns during the top and bear run, and the answer is clear . . .

Monday’s Game Plan
Here’s the game plan for Monday. I am pleased to see a number of breakout-pullback setups forming. It’s been a while since I’ve been able to trade this break and butter setup http://docs.google.com/View?docid=d5z8q8w_418dqr8n3gm Today is the last day of the free trade reports.

Game Plan for Friday and Free Trade Report
While the bottom formation still is intact, I am not quite as optimistic due to the negative volume over the past two days. For more detailed analysis, view today’s free trade report: http://docs.google.com/View?docid=d5z8q8w_415gwthtzfj

Game Plan for Thursday and Free Trade Report
The market has been easy to game this week, and my trades have worked out well. It’s probably too late to enter short positions, so now we let our current positions work themselves out and wait for a pullback to get long again. For in depth analysis of my plan…

Taking Partial Profits in FSLR Short
I just took partial profits in FSLR at $159.66 (entry at $176.18) for a one day $1652 gain. I am still short 100 shares and have moved my stop to entry level. My next target is the $140-150 range. I will exit the rest of the positon if it reaches…
