My Stock Trading Plan for Wednesday Dec 14, 2016 in Chatroom. $VCEL, $AKAO, $ADMP, $CETX, $NG_F, $SILVER, $SLV, $SL_F, $VIX, $UVXY $TVIX, $USOIL, $WTI, $GOLD, $GLD, $GDX, $USD/JPY, $SPY … more.
Welcome to the morning Wall Street trading day session!
Important Notices:
Fed speak Wed 2:00 PM EST.
$UWTI $DWTI have been resurrected as $UWT and $DWT – this is a massive thing for my trading to say the least. http://uk.reuters.com/article/usa-investment-etn-idUKL1N1E31ZB
Current Holds:
$CBMX, $JUNO
Market Outlook:
Watch out for the upcoming Fed road bumps – stay nimble.
$VCEL News:Administration (FDA) has approved MACI® (autologous cultured chondrocytes on porcine collagen membrane)
U.S. and Macau sign anti-tax evasion pact #premarket $WYNMF $WYNMY $SCHYY $SCHYF
Gold $GLD and Miners $GDX may get a pop here with the Fed (and of course Silver in same boat). But there is the lingering bottom of the quadrant at 1133 from our Gold algo probability – so stay tight on it. $USD/JPY is off a bit in morning trade but it is also at a critical support so be careful!
$VIX as I have been saying for a few days is on watch with me around Fed ($XIV).
$NATGAS $NG_F has come off some from important resistance and yesterday lost the support I was watching. Now watching 3.34 support for action there.
$SPY hit the resistance zone I alerted in yesterday’s premarket, came off, got steam popped above it and then yesterday struggled at the resistance I alerted and through the night struggled with that 277.80 area of resistance.
$VIX – volatility I called almost to the minute Monday and again yesterday and didn’t capitalize on it – $VIX should get some spiking today also. So I am watching close $TVIX $UVXY.
Crude oil hit its algo target at 4:30 Tuesday after market close and at time of writing at 643 AM price is on its way toward the Wed 1030 AM targets. There are indicators turning intra bearish in the upward trending channel.
And that brings me to momo stocks and rotation therein, looks like we continue with huge opportunities there also!
If you are new to our trading service you should review recent blog posts and at minimum of our algorithm Twitter feeds because they do tell a story in terms of the market and how the inflections of the market determine our day to day trading. And you will notice quickly that the algos have been undeniably accurate on many time-rames (intra-day and months out) so I myself have learned to respect their math (they have taken me from a 60% hit rate to 80% in my trading – all publicly posted live trades). A quick hour of review at most will bring you up to date.
The algorithm Twitter feeds can be found here: $WTI (@EPICtheAlgo), $VIX (@VexatiousVIX), $SPY (@FREEDOMtheAlgo), $GLD (@ROSIEtheAlgo), $SLV (@SuperNovaAlgo), $DXY (@DXYUSD_Index).
Momentum Stocks (Market Open and Intra-Day):
I do trade morning momo stocks (at times), but I do avoid risk – so often I avoid the first 30 minutes (gap and go) and trade momentum stocks later in the day after the wash-out looking for a snap-back. Just prior to open and shortly after open I post momentum stocks to the trade chat room (and Twitter ans Stocktwits if I have time).
Some of my Favorite Set-Ups:
(1) Momentum Stock Wash-Outs for Snap Back, (2) Bad News Wash-outs on Stocks with High Institutional Ownership, (3) Getting on the Right Side of a Trend Change and scaling in my position and (4) Our Algorithm Set-Ups.
The momentum stocks (from previous days and morning trade) I continue to watch through the day for indicators that allow a trade.

Regular Trades:
S & P 500: $SPY $ES_F ($SPXL, $SPXS)
Outlook:
In yesterday’s premarket (as I mentioned above) I wrote about resistance the algo alerted at 277.80. This is still in play FYI. However, the Fed will determine now naturally whether we trend up or down from where we are. My bias is up until new year BUT I WOULD BE READY because money could get caught offside. Who know?
As pre previous and our algorithm call before election…. My bias is still to new highs but I am looking at a pull-back Christmas / Early 2017.
My Trading Plan: Right now I am trading $XIV instead of $SPXL or $SPXS. I do this because we are in a trend of crushed volatility. Now, when that changes and volatility starts to rise again (even if $SPY is rising at the same time) then I’ll flip over to trading $SPXL and $SPXS instead of $XIV.
Volatility: $VIX ($TVIX, $UVXY, $XIV)
Outlook: Looking for possible record lows before Christmas.
There was interesting action late Friday while $SPY was rising in $VIX and $XIV and then again Monday and Tuesday $SPY and $VIX had a run at the same time!
I had alerted this and it is an indicator of offside plays at times (I don’t think it is here however).
Per yesterday:
Watch for volatility to rise on a trend – even if $SPY is still rising – volatility is a great indicator for what’s around the corner.
I WOULD PREPARE FOR A POP IN VOLATILITY BETWEEN NOW AND WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON and even perhaps in to next week Tuesday.
CNN Fear and Greed Index: http://money.cnn.com/data/fear-and-greed/
My Trading Plan for Volatility: I will likely follow that trend with $TVIX $UVXY $XIV buys at range pivots / pending price action, volume and other geo events.
Currencies and Other Global Markets: $DXY US Dollar Index ($UUP US Dollar Bull, $UDN British Pound, $USD/JPY, $FXY Japanese Yen Trust, $CNY China, $TZA, $SMK / $EWW Mexico Capped ETF)
BE VERY CAREFUL LISTING TO THE $USD/JPY bears – they have been feeding missery to followers for many weeks – the chart is not broke – price is currently at support and there could easily be another leg up – nobody knows but the trend is your friend!
Pre previous: Inflection point. No clear direction. $USD/JPY not backing off yet. Our $DXY algo had 100.50 as a PT so I’m watching. Lots of fundamentals at work here and geo.
My Trading Plan for Currencies / Global Markets: Waiting, waiting, waiting.
Gold: $GLD ($UGLD, $DGLD). Miners: $GDX ($NUGT, $DUST, $JDST, $JNUG)
My Trading Plan for Gold: Short term there could be a pretty good pop around the Fed, but I don’t expect it would last. It could pop to the top of the algo quadrant but I don’t think it would run past – NOT YET ANYWAY. So who know’s I may play a short term scenario – Fed / market reaction dependent.
Per yesterday:
I am waiting for the trend reversal. We are very close to the price target at the bottom of that quadrant at 1133.00 ish. The initial wide frame target Rosie the algo nailed but there has been a wait and see for a reversal because of one more possible leg down. Getting very close IMO.
I haven’t started to take trades yet because I am waiting for “price – trigger – trade” set-ups. I will start chewing around the edges of stocks like $NUGT and $GLD likely. The idea is to get on the right side of the trade and trend.
Other equities I like for Gold Trade: $AUMN (penny stock). When the trend reversal confirms I will post all the Gold equity picks here.
Silver $SI_F: $SLV ($USLV, $DSLV)
Same as Gold – we’re waiting for a decision from market so we can get algo targets.
My Plan for Trading Silver:
Per previous;
Same as Gold, I’m waiting for the “price – trigger – trade” set-ups… I am going to start chewing around the edges of stocks when set-up confirms like $USLV and $SLV attempting to get on right side of trend trade.
Silver fighting with resistance. It could pop to 200 MA on 1 week. Possible. $SI_F $SLV $USLV, $DSLV
Other equities I like for Silver trade: $AUMN (penny stock). Same here, when trend reversal occurs I will post equity picks here.
Crude Oil FX : $USOIL $WTI ($UWTI, $DWTI, $GUSH, $ERX, $DRIP, $ERY, $USO, $UCO, $SCO, $UWT, $DWT, $CL_F)
Outlook:
Per yesterday:
Crude oil is trading within and respecting the main support and resistance areas of its upward channel. I am trading the support and resistance margins – I will consider shortside at the top of the channel or resistance and long at the bottom of the channel.
Crude has it its algo targets crazy consistently for weeks. Had I played oil the way EPIC laid out the plays I would be retired 3 x over now. Overnight the downdraft continued. Yesterday at 4:30 the target hit and it looks like algo targets for Wednesday 10:30 AM are in play on the chart. There are concerning indicators that could cause crude to visit the bottom of the upward trending channel – so I am watching close at the critical supports. Also waiting for Fed speak market reactions.
Trading Plan: Waiting.
Other Equities I like for Oil or Energy Trade: Tape / Chart – $ETE, $RIG. High Short Interest – $CRC, $EPE, $WLL, $RES, $JONE, $AREX, $REN, $CLR, $HP, $ATW, $SGY. Fundamentals: $EOG, Pipelines – $XLE: $HEP, $SXE, $KMI, $DPM, $TGS, $ENB, $EEP, $PTRC, $HGT
Natural Gas $NG_F $NATGAS ($UGAZ, $DGAZ):
Per yesterday:
Hit resistance as I thought and alerted.
Natural Gas hit heavy resistance, came off, now at a Fibonacci support. $NG_F $UGAZ $DGAZ
ON WATCH!!! This could get a considerable pop in to late Wednesday and even as far as in to late Monday next week is possible!!!
Natural gas lost that Fib support yesterday so now I am watching lower supports. I still think there is a possibility for a pop just after Fed speak!
Study:
Now that a number of blog posts are being unlocked, it wouldn’t be a bad idea for traders to review them (especially new traders).
If you are trading relying on our charting or algorithms as trade indicators you should read this recent article, “Why our Stock Algorithms are Different.”
Free scanners to find momentum stocks that you can easily review charts of for indicators that bring probability of your trade being successful up considerably. These are not useful for first 30 minute market open gap and go type plays (you need a good momentum scanner, level 2, and best to have hot-keys for the first 30 mins of gap and go trading)… but are very useful for intra day scalping (start with trending stocks and then look at indicators intra for simple set-ups – study scan study scan study scan).
