uco long

previous day:
SOL short: shorted 7.88, move stop to 7.90, new target 7.34
STEC short: shorted 14.70, move stop to 14.82
-------------------
other open positions:
NXPI short: new target 27.31
-------------------
new trades:
UCO long: buy 46.70 limit, stop loss 45.68, target 50.84

-------------------
UCO filled the gap with an
hammer and it's forming a
positive stochastic divergence
it's close to an intraday + long term
resistence, buying above that

USO (1x oil etf)
didn't filled the gap but bounced
on gap support which is also right
on the 200 days moving average

alert, change limit buy on UCO to 46.90

-------------------
new trades:
MPEL short: sell stop 9.80, stop loss 9.98

MPEL: a rise in volatility and in the
average daily range lately,
and lots of close near the
low of the day with a spike
of volume on earnings,
it looks toppy action.
shorting below intraday
support ( yesterdays low)

 

[WinningStockTrader]

Hero long

MPEL short: sold 9.81, stopped out 10.00, -1.93% (first minute spike triggered the short right at the low of the day).
-------------------
open positions:
SODA long: no change. (it didn't had a good day yesterday, but there's no alternative stop loss, and it makes no sense taking a small profit here for the short-term trading portfolio)
NILE short: move stop to 49.38
LVS short: no change
--------------------
new trades:
HERO long: buy stop 6.49, stop loss 6.36
HERO Day Trading Target: +0.23$ profit

long HERO

untouched by the oil drop,
forming a bollinger squeeze,
it's pushing against an
important resistence line,
volume is very healthy.
buying on a breakout above
resistence

 

[WinningStockTrader]

wcg long

previous day:
HERO long: bought 6.50, stopped 6.34, -2.46%
(bigger than usual first day loss, but it was a set up with a very good potential. oil action didn't help).
-----------------
open positions:
NILE short: buy market
LVS short: add target 41.13. (casinos the new hot thing in town, got me really by surprise. I was expecting volatility that's why I didn't lower the initial stop loss)
SODA long: add target 59.37

(really out of sync with the exits this months, hope this improves soon)
-----------------
new trades:
WCG long: buy stop 49.50, stop loss 48.75
WCG day trading target: +1.02$ profit
----------------

long WCG

a very strong stock in one of the
best sectors, just made a pullback
to the 20 days mov average and
started back higher with a
morning star pattern.
very positive upside volume.
it also cleared an intraday resistence,
buying above yesterdays high

----------------
new trades:
MCP long: buy stop 63.43, stop loss 62.27
MCP day trading target: +2.19$ profit


MCP : about to break an important
long term resistence.
nice stochastics rising,
the uptrend hasn't been compromised
by the recent correction,
volume stayed positive.
the weekly chart looks good too.
buying on a break of resistence.

 

[amit1986]

MCP is at 64.50 pre-market, so you might not get your price of 63.43 today.

MCP is at 64.50 pre-market, so you might not get your price of 63.43 today.

it's a buy stop, not a limit order. i use a 1.5% limit from the stop price though

hal short

previous day:
MCP long: bought 64.38 (1.5% limit rule), move stop to 63.60, add target 70.89
-----------

----------
other open positions:
SODA long: cancel target. (It keeps making higher high intraday, it setting up well for a continuation).
WCG long: add target 49.37. (Really weak action, it's close to our stop and our entry price, we're trying to exit in between below intraday resistence)
----------
new trades:
HAL short: sell stop 49.72, stop loss 50.30, target 48.33
HAL day trading target: +1.08$ profit

HAL:
sideways range for HAL for
most of this year,
it tested April top with
two bearish candlesticks,
stochastics about to crossover,
markets are short term overbought,
shorting below short term support.

 

[WinningStockTrader]

previous day:
HAL short: sold 49.70, stopped 50.31, -1.22% (bad trade, natural stop loss would have been 50.55)

---------------------
closed positions:
WCG long (49.53): 49.40 (limit), -0.26%
MCP long (64.38): 63.58 (stop), -1.24% (pretty good trade overall, no reason not to give it space to run, tuesday night chart looked great)
--------------------
new trades:
EXK short: sell stop 9.78, stop loss 10.01
EXK day trading: no target

EXK short: good risk/reward entry on volatile EXK. Important a decision point for silver who came back and failed at resistence. Shorting EKX on a continuation below resistence.

SIMO short: sell stop 11.60, stop loss 11.71

Note: SIMO average daily volume it's slightly lower our standards. Be carefull entering with large $ positions


SIMO SHORT
overall markets at key levels
with long term charts turning bearish,
uptrending stocks are risking
strong profit taking.
SIMO: very clear support line about
to be broken, bollinger band
squeeze indicates a potentially
strong break down

CF LONG
all fertilizer stocks easily
holding above May lows.
CF is the strongest one,
it keeps making higher lows,
lower shadows in the last
few days, volume remained positive,
and we have a good intraday
setup to play a market bounce
