Swing Trading Set-Ups, Strategies, Alerts, Charts, News. July 17, 2019. Facebook.

Earnings Trade Positions Reporting Special Notes:
Last evening we intended to get all the reporting completed and got distracted with other issues, for now see below for Facebook set up and the start of Amazon set up and we will continue this reporting stream this evening for all the other earnings swing trade set ups.
Over the coming days we will be re-visiting all recent swing trade set-ups, alerts and trades in progress to reconcile the trades in advance of earnings and prepare for the new on other side of each new set up from earnings reports. This will involve a significant number of posts, trade alerts, mid day reviews in the trading room and videos that our members will receive a copy of.
Executing your swing trading strategy with our charting reports and live alerts involves using the key support and resistance areas of the charting, time cycle peaks, trajectory of trade and conventional indicators such as MACD cross-over and Moving Averages.
Alerts are not always issued at each add or trim to positions because that is simply not possible so you do have to manage your trade.
In many instances a clear swing trade strategy is laid out in the newsletter and/or videos so that you can manage the swing trade according to your risk threshold and account size.
If you struggle to establish a trading strategy with the information provided on our reporting, videos and alerts then some trade coaching is recommended to get you started.
From Part 1, Part 2 is below:
PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES (PXD)
From the point of original swing trade entry 148.50 (see alert below) PXD then traded up to 157.22 (be sure you take profits on trades the go the right way) and has recently come off and closed trade Friday at 144.29. Earnings are in 23 days.
Your trading strategy (if long) may be to add at one or more of the white arrows and if trade doesn’t hold then close and repeat at the next arrow. Our swing trade strategy at this point would be this method pending price action, watch for alerts.

TESLA (TSLA)
TSLA Earnings Date
Earnings announcement* for TSLA: Aug 07, 2019
Tesla, Inc. is estimated to report earnings on 08/07/2019. The upcoming earnings date is derived from an algorithm based on a company’s historical reporting dates.Our vendor, Zacks Investment Research, might revise this date in the future, once the company announces the actual earnings date. According to Zacks Investment Research, based on 4 analysts’ forecasts, the consensus EPS forecast for the quarter is $-1.55. The reported EPS for the same quarter last year was $-4.22.
Tesla is preparing to expand production at its electric-car factory in Fremont, California, according to an internal email #swingtrading $TSLA #earnings https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-07-10/tesla-tells-staff-it-s-preparing-to-lift-output-at-fremont-plant
Tesla’s Leaked Email Is a Nightmare for Bears and Other Automakers #swingtrading $TSLA #earnings https://twitter.com/swingtrading_ct/status/1150558365703180288 https://marketrealist.com/2019/07/teslas-leaked-email-is-a-nightmare-for-bears-and-other-automakers/
TESLA (TSLA) Support and resistance areas are clearly marked (white arrows), long or short above or below trim at various res sup areas $TSLA #earnings #swingtrading
The trading strategy for swing trades in TESLA can be really simple.
The best way to swing trade TESLA is using the white arrows on the chart (these are primary support and resistance areas on the chart). When price breaches up through an arrow go long and the opposite for short. Set a stop that you are comfortable with in accordance to your risk threshold. If the trade goes your way simply trim profit at the fine detailed support and resistance areas on the chart.
If you are a more active swing trader then you can obviously look at each area of support and resistance for various sizing opportunities.
Alternatively to the above arrow trading strategy, you can also wait for a pull back to a key support or resistance and then enter (vs the brak out above or below key resistance).
The TESLA chart offers on of the best trading ranges and the key support and resistance areas work well. We have done well on numerous occasions swing trading TESLA. The most recent short wasn’t the best of the trades but focusing on the range of the trade, the general trend and the key support and resistance noted on this chart model provides for a really opportune swing trading environment given the range.
Per recent;
TESLA (TSLA) short, trade found support and bounced, stop at entry, resistance test above, could go either way. $TSLA
This trade started off well and as a daytrade it was excellent. On the swing it is still in play but trade did bounce at support below so be sure to exit before any loss as it is on the right side still. The trade is so close to the lower end of its trading range there’s no wisdom in holding if it turns against the original entry 225.05.

Short $TSLA 225.05 for 203.42 1st PT, details in report upcoming. #swingtrading

From June 17, 2019 Report:
ALLERGAN (AGN) After significant sell-off this looks ready for a bounce near key over sold support now $AGN #swingtrade
The area of support just below trade (see white arrow) looks to be a key area that is likely to find support and bounce. If it does bounce then I see three areas of key snap back for bullish trade. A general trajectory of trade possible in a bullish scenario is included below with 3 white arrows. We will see how trade near term is, but I like it for a bounce to at least the first price target (first white uptrending arrow).

Okay, now that we got that out of the way…
FACEBOOK (FB) VS AMAZON (AMZN)
I don’t like the idea of long trades with $GOOGL, $FB, $AMZN or $TWTR (least of the concern is Twitter). At issue, they’re going to get wacked. When? No idea. My guess, generally speaking the time frame around earnings – ish will be a tough ride for longs in $GOOGL and $FB but that is yet to be seen. $AMZN likely comes off around earnings because it will likely be sell the news. But $GOOGL and $FB more so that I think Trump and friends are likely to wack them around earnings.
I could be wrong, but hey, lets get you ready both ways so if you’re trading long or short you know your chart levels for your trading strategy.
First FACEBOOK (FB) and then in tonight’s report I will cover AMAZON (AMZN) and many other;
“To set the stage, the following chart shows how the two stocks have performed over the last five years. Amazon is the clear winner, outperforming Facebook by more than 2-to-1,”

FB Earnings Date
Earnings announcement* for FB: Jul 24, 2019
Facebook, Inc. is expected* to report earnings on 07/24/2019 after market close. The report will be for the fiscal Quarter ending Jun 2019. According to Zacks Investment Research, based on 13 analysts’ forecasts, the consensus EPS forecast for the quarter is $1.9. The reported EPS for the same quarter last year was $1.74.
FACEBOOK (FB) trades in channels (yellow examples) with decisions around time cycles (green vertical) $FB #swingtrade #earnings #strategy
We have always done well trading Facebook because it is one of the most structured equities on the markets. Trade channels (yellow examples shown) and check the price action relative to the channel at the key time cycles (vertical green). Yes, it is that easy.
You can also consider the trading boxes (orange) – they provide a range, moving averages (not so much imo) and horizontal Fibonacci lines in the chart model below. The green and gray horizontal are key pivots. The diagonal Fibonacci trend lines (blue dotted) provide the framework for possible channels.
It doesn’t surprise me the upcoming time cycle peak in to July 22 is around FB earnings scheduled for July 24, 2019. If price spikes above current channel my advice is to be very cautious with long entries up and above the channel.
Anytime you are trading with a structured algorithmic chart model and trade leaves the structure you can be sure its divergent and very likely to correct back in to its natural structure.
Your best trading strategy for Facebook earnings?
Don’t rush, don’t hold in to earnings, there is no need. And don’t rush when its in its new channel whether up or down. Let the channel establish itself and then simply starting adding in to the trend within the channel according to direction. That’s it. That strategy will return excellent ROI, you will beat the market many times over because Facebook is that good of a trading vehicle.
Let me know how you do please.
