Current Holds / Trading Plan:
All small to mid size holds in this order according to sizing – $UWT, $BSTG, $ONTX, $VRX, $ASM, $SSH, $LGCY, $TRCH, $ESEA, $DUST (looking for a way out on $DUST – was expecting one final significant spike in USDJPY before drop – didn’t get it so hoping for a pull back in miners soon – if not I’ll have to take the loss). $CBMX I am now out for huge gains.
As noted before I may exit $VRX and $UWT.
Market Outlook / Trading Plan:
Per previous; My outlook is very similar to yesterday. It seems Crude Oil $WTI has pushed its trade range right up near resistance to parallel $Gold, $Silver, and the $DXY US Dollar – they are all at decisions. Interesting scenario. $VIX is still dead and $SPY has another leg forming. The markets seem pensive but bullish at the same time. Again, interesting IMO.
Many of our traders have killed it last few days – fantastic to see congrats!
Per previous; I am really interested in where the bottom is for natural gas, so I am watching $UGAZ close. I think Mathew tagged 2.54 as a possible bounce area in the room yesterday and this morning it did tag that area and has bounced a bit. Also watching the resistance in oil as you know to possibly exit the $UWT swing soon. Also really curious to see what Gold and Silver and the Dollar do here with the Trump trade follow through.
My eyes are on; $PTX, $NAK, $CIM, $CBMX, $OWCP, $THCT, $CNBX, $BSTG, $NE and small cap oil.
Morning Momo / News and Social Bits From Around the Internet:
Momo Watch: $PTX, $NAK, $CIM, $CBMX
If you are new to our trading service you should review recent blog posts, our YouTube Channel and at minimum our algorithm Twitter feeds because they do tell a story in terms of the market and how the inflections of the market determine our day to day trading. You will notice the algorithmic modelling has been undeniably accurate with many time-frames (intra-day, weeks and months out) so I myself have learned to respect their math (they have taken me from a 60% hit rate to 80% in my trading – all publicly posted live trades).
The algorithm Twitter feeds can be found here:$WTI (@EPICtheAlgo), $VIX (@VexatiousVIX), $SPY (@FREEDOMtheAlgo), $GLD (@ROSIEtheAlgo), $SLV (@SuperNovaAlgo), $DXY (@DXYUSD_Index). . Our lead trader Twitter feed is here @curtmelonopoly, lead developer @hundalSHS, and newest trader @quadzilla_jr.
Momentum Stocks (Market Open and Intra-Day):
I do trade morning momo stocks, 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 and 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.
Morning Stock Watch-Lists for my Favorite Set-Ups:
(1) Pre-Market Gainers Watch-List: Gainers: $PTX 41%, $NAK 31%, $CIM 29%, $CBMX 20%, $AVEO $MBVX $CPG $UCTT $TGB $URRE $NVCR $UGAZ $CRI $SQ $BLCM $EW $INO

Study:
For new readers, a review of our unlocked posts on our blog would help you get in to the story we are following with the securities listed in this newsletter.
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 and swing trading (start with trending stocks and then look at indicators intra for simple set-ups – study scan study scan study scan).
