Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Quad witching – caution! Today’s Live Trading Room Link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1_Lik-9mXw

Per previous;

Trading Room Attendance: With our commercial multi-user algorithm chart modeling client platform launch, upcoming 24 hour oil trading room and coding for our algorithm models for our trader’s cockpit (you’d have to read our story on our website to understand our build-out plans)… I won’t be in the trading room as much starting Tuesday March 14, 2017. I expect to be in the room most days the first hour or two and then I have to turn my attention to the platform development daily and assistance our software developers require of me. I will still have my monitors on and will likely comment and/or run intra-day review broadcasts etc – I just won’t be in the room minute by minute.

The Quarterly Swing Trading Performance Review P/L with Charting is Published. The Algorithms and Daytrading Quarterly Performance Reports are being compiled as I write and will be posted soon.

Yesterday’s trading results click: There’s a few trades early in the market that would be decent for early traders to review.

Most recent Keep it Simple Swing Charting Post (MACD focus):

Results of Gold trade vote are in!

Current Holds / Trading Plan:

Even though my holds are small in size I would like to start focusing on trading out of some of these, if not all.

All small to mid size holds in this order according to sizing – $ONTX, $DUST, $USRM, $XOM, $NE, $BLKG, $ASM, $SSH, $LGCY, $TRCH, $ESEA, $MGTI.

Per recent;

$DUST I will close for a loss if Gold holds 1260 – sucks, but it was a relatively small position (to portfolio size) but I didn’t follow the golden rule… when a trade goes against your plan cut fast and I didn’t so I will likely pay the price. And I guess what has become the second golden rule… listen to the algos… they haven’t been wrong yet – so yes, I didn’t listen to my own invention ROSIE the Gold Algo (give Rosie a little plug there she deserves it lol). Embarrassing, especially because ROSIE nailed the bottom many weeks in advance of the bottom – all I had to do was listen and boom new house. Sad.

Market Outlook / Trading Plan:

It’s all about shippers premarket, not a great market signal.

Swing Trading watchlist per previous:

My main newest watches for swing trading long are other than momentum stocks are $GSIT (possible semiconductor break-out), $AXP, $ABX, $RIG (higher lows), $XLE, $NFLX (turned long possible over 146.11), $URRE (wedge pattern), $TAN, $ABX, $WYNN (needs to confirm), $SLX, $TWLO, $X, $XME, $AKS, $TSLA over 262.20 and a few others.

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: $CLBS $THLD $GALE $AVXS $ESEA $ABUS $TOPS $SINO $ADBE $FNBC $DCIX I will update before market open or refer to chat room notices.

Morning email note re: updates in case you missed it:

Morning Folks,

First, sorry if you get this email more than once – some day we’ll get that sorted.

Anyway, just got in to the office. It was a much longer trip than expected.

When I hit stop on the Wed trading room broadcast video (just now) YouTube is telling me it is processing. Due to extra length of video (normally we would hit stop right at end of market day) it seems to be taking some time for YouTube to “process” so I won’t be able to access the transcript until YouTube is done “processing” is my point.

So the trading room video and the transcript from Wed will not be ready until later and then we will publish it.

As far as the algorithm charting models and swing trading updates, we are starting processing now and will release them as they are available premarket today and some may not be ready until premarket Friday and possibly the odd one on weekend depending on data that comes back over the next few hours (trading status).

And really, considering the events of Wednesday… this isn’t so bad because the market is going to take a day or three to settle in to what just happened anyway.

Any questions let me know.

Curtis

Yesterday’s EPIC subscriber email note in case you missed it (it’s important):

“I would like to say however, I have spoken to a number of the EPIC traders the last few days about the recent action and trading oil in general. We have an updated EPIC performance report coming out soon that I have already seen and the results were staggering for me as a trader because the report was clear in that if a trader trades the outside widths of support and resistance only that EPIC provides they achieve an easy 50 – 100% return per year backtested. And then, if when the algo targets are reported as predictable by EPIC the trader uses them the ROI annually goes through the roof – all back-tested.

So in short, for any of you struggling (and I found a few that weren’t being disciplined) I encourage you to only trade the widths of resistance and support and only the targets when EPIC reports high predictability. It works. Report will be out over the coming days. As a trader is was humbling for me to see because of course I also struggle with that discipline and it is so easy.

Expect a detailed EPIC report tonight.

Curt”

Trading Room Attendance: With our commercial multi-user algorithm chart modeling client platform launch, upcoming 24 hour oil trading room and coding for our algorithm models for our trader’s cockpit (you’d have to read our story on our website to understand our build-out plans)… I won’t be in the trading room as much starting Tuesday March 14, 2017. I expect to be in the room most days the first hour or two and then I have to turn my attention to the platform development daily and assistance our software developers require of me. I will still have my monitors on and will likely comment and/or run intra-day review broadcasts etc – I just won’t be in the room minute by minute.

The Quarterly Swing Trading Performance Review P/L with Charting is Published. The Algorithms and Daytrading Quarterly Performance Reports are being compiled as I write and will be posted soon.

Yesterday’s trading results are not available yet – Tuesday’s are here:

Most recent Keep it Simple Swing Charting Post (MACD focus):

Results of Gold trade vote are in!

Current Holds / Trading Plan:

Even though my holds are small in size I would like to start focusing on trading out of some of these, if not all.

All small to mid size holds in this order according to sizing – $ONTX, $DUST, $USRM, $XOM, $NE, $BLKG, $DRYS, $ASM, $SSH, $LGCY, $TRCH, $ESEA, $MGTI.

Per recent’ $DUST I will close for a loss if Gold holds 1260 – sucks, but it was a relatively small position (to portfolio size) but I didn’t follow the golden rule… when a trade goes against your plan cut fast and I didn’t so I will likely pay the price. And I guess what has become the second golden rule… listen to the algos… they haven’t been wrong yet – so yes, I didn’t listen to my own invention ROSIE the Gold Algo (give Rosie a little plug there she deserves it lol). Embarrassing, especially because ROSIE nailed the bottom many weeks in advance of the bottom – all I had to do was listen and boom new house. Sad.

Market Outlook / Trading Plan:

Markets are on fire after FOMC. $GC_F Gold has got some new life but still within range (under) our algo upside target (1251.11) so caution is still warranted, crude oil $WTI $UWOIL $CL_F is trading well within the algo range published to members in advance of recent trade so they knew where to trade resistance and support – there is resistance at 49.60 and 50.95, Silver is in same category as Gold generally and is under the upside extension target so same thing applies, the $DXY US Dollar remains to be seen – of course there is significant pressure on it but it is the wild card in my opinion still yet (I know many think they have it pinned), $SPY is trading just under our  algo upside interim extension target, and well $VIX is dead still.

Swing Trading watchlist per previous:

My main newest watches for swing trading long are other than momentum stocks are $GSIT (possible semiconductor break-out), $AXP, $ABX, $RIG (higher lows), $XLE, $NFLX (turned long possible over 146.11), $URRE (wedge pattern), $TAN, $ABX, $WYNN (needs to confirm), $SLX, $TWLO, $X, $XME, $AKS, $TSLA over 262.20 and a few others.

General Market Outlook:

With Gold $GLD, Silver $SLV, Miners $GDX, Oil $WTI coming to areas of resistance, $DXY near support, will be a series of decisions soon.

Review of my Chat Room Stock Day Trades, Algorithm Charting Calls and Alerts for Monday Jan 23, 2017 $MRNS, $SSH, $GALE, $NVLS, $MDGS – $SPY, $GLD, $GDX, $SLV, $USDJPY, $DXY, $USOIL, $WTIC, $VIX, $NG_F…

Intro:

Time stamped entries (in permanent archive) copied to this blog in italics (below) are direct live log chat from chat trade room as they occurred (random chat from myself not applicable or other misc chat deleted). Chat trade room is also video recorded daily for trade archive.

In addition to chat, this trade-room has live voice broadcast (that covers in detail what indicators I am looking for in and out off each trade) and has live chart screen sharing right from my monitor to the room with all indicators I am looking at.

EVERY CALL WE MAKE, EVERY PUBLIC INTERACTION, REPRESENTATION OF TRADE (ON EVERY VENUE) IS VIDEO RECORDED (TRADING ROOM), ON SOCIAL MEDIA OR ON BLOG / WEBSITE TIME-STAMPED FOR PERMANENT RECORD AND ABSOLUTE TRANSPARENCY. PLEASE ALSO REFER TO OUR PUBLIC DISCLOSURE https://compoundtrading.com/disclosure-disclaimer/ .

Notices:

Two Week Account Double Challenge: It ended today (Monday) because there was a holiday last week (so ten trading days). I didn’t double, I think I was closer to 41% and our techs will do review vids and publish P&L soon for review. It started out really strong and as inauguration got closer market got less aggressive and has been since. The momo plays lacked follow through the last five or six trading days. Oh well! 41% ish isn’t bad. I’ll be looking to get my double up before the end of the month now and I’ll be targeting a double up per month going forward. Remember – all live in the room, recorded, transcript etc… no calling things after the fact – totally transparent room.

Daily Trading Results. I apologize, I haven’t had time to do last Wed, Thur and Fri yet – I will post them. To be honest they were so uneventful for me that I prioritized other work – but I’ll get them out soon.

A Special Note to Newer Traders or Folks Looking in to our Services: I don’t have a lot of time right now to explain this, you certainly don’t have a lot of time to hear it and I won’t single anyone out – but I do again find myself having to set something straight. There is a newer trader that admittedly has not been consistent in his/her oil related trading – so he/she has been in our room for the last four or so weeks and getting Epic the Oil Algo reports in the morning. Recent renewal comes up and he/she says there hasn’t been enough action, market weak etc… long story and I won’t give all the detail. Anyway, important notes for new traders are as follows;

First, if you are following my trades or anyone else’s that is very bad. Not good. Trade a plan. Learn from the room and reports – but learn to develop a plan and trade it.

Second, in the last four to six weeks there has been enough margin in oil related trade (if, like this newer trader of topic here you only trade oil related) that had I traded only oil related I would have increased my account 20 % or more. It’s all relative. I chose not to trade oil related because I trade what will bring me (in my advance assessment) the highest return for the least amount of effort in the shortest amount of time. So I have been trading momo stocks since Epic the Algo gave us clear indication that the oil related trade was at an inflection (which was spot on obviously with the trade of oil the last six weeks). BUT HAD I TRADED oil related, I can guarantee a minimum 20% return. And why can I say that? Because I’m totally transparent so I can – my trades stand on their own so there’s no arguing that. And, I can also say it because I actually care. Yup, that’s novel. We care about newer traders in our room so if you’re doing something stupid I gotta say it. And maybe by saying this others can benefit also.

For those that don’t know our trading room I trade $DXY US Dollar related (like $UUP early in the recent break-out last fall when our algo nailed it), Gold $GLD and related (which I missed at this turn but in past with our algo nailing it I trade and likely will trade again if our algo says another turn soon), Silver $SLV (same as Gold our algo nailed the turn and I do trade it), OIL $USOIL $WTI (and as many know I trade oil related intensely when EPIC our oil algo signals a trend reversal), $SPY and related and $VIX related such as $XIV, $TVIX, $UVXY and more. So I trade all those and the momentum stocks. You will find me in the ones specific to what I believe will return the highest ROI in the shortest amount of time – but that doesn’t mean you can’t trade something I am not. In fact, in the most recent turn that Rosie the Gold Algo called months in advance and SuperNova Silver Algo called many of our members have been banking DAILY on that move – but I haven’t traded it once. I missed the turn – I knew it was there of course because of the algos – but I didn’t execute in it. But the majority of the room has.

Hope that helps more than just one person. I sent out a tweet in honor of this interaction. If you’re a new trader my best suggestion is to really reflect on what this says. And if you ever need a bit of encouragement with it let me know please.

Promo Code Discounts are Ending: The 38.2% inaugural opening discounts end Jan 31, 2017 and we won’t be a promo driven type room – so if you’re thinking of jumping do it now. Also, the promo codes are technically all used up (we were only going to offer discount for first 200) so if you get an error message when typing in your promo code that’s on the website then let us know and a tech will sort it for you.

SMS / Email Alerts: Our system was upgraded so all members will now start receiving them for each trade (morning momo trades may not have time to process alerts outside room fyi).

New Service Option: We now also offer a stand-alone trading room option (vs. bundle w/ trading room, premarket newsletter and alerts) at 59.00 /mth and w/ promo code is 1.22 per day.

New Service Option: EPIC the Oil Algo now has an Oil Report only option (vs. bundle w/ 24 hr trading room launching early 2017) at 199.00 and w/promo code works out to just over 4.00 day.

New Service Option: Entry-Level trader one-on-one trade coaching and entry-level trade academy options now available in addition to intermediate / advanced trading academy and coaching.

Overview Perspective & Review of Chat Room, Algo Calls, Trades and Alerts:

$MRNS, $SHH, $GALE, $NVLS. Today was all about momentum plays that had no follow through so I couldn’t size in – which has been my challenge the last eight trading days. Learning how to size in to trades is critical to trading success – you’ll notice even though the last eight days the momos have not allowed for significant size legging I didn’t get chopped to crap. So please, please don’t do this at home until you’ve practiced the discipline on paper trading first. Even a pro coach is a good idea – he/she at minimum should review your paper trades before you start in this process. It can be an account killer – or a blessing – it’s got a sharp edge and it’s fine the difference between the killing of your account and the blessed account.

Looking Forward:

In overnight trade it looks like commodities are cooling a bit so I may look at inverse Gold or Miner’s ETN’s ETF’s Tuesday, also market has been calm since inauguration so I would expect a bit of a pop or drop here soon and I’m thinking a pop. So I’m looking forward to the last six days of trading in January.

02:32 pm Curtis M : ya wack a mole

Overview Perspective & Review of Chat Room, Algo Calls, Trades and Alerts:

$GALE I nailed with morning momentum with an add – wish the entries were larger – then I gave a lot of that back to the market with a botched $UWT trade. $UWT entry was fine – my exit was poor at pit close in the down I held – a no no trading oil related unless you are trading with a conviction to hold in the uptrend (as oil is trading now). But I was concerned with the uptrend because we were close to resistance and a previous high and my plan was a tight trade but I didn’t execute a tight departure. So that was a mistake. You can always re-enter. Cut quick.

Members in our room did well with $KATE and a few other plays. I was on top of $KATE just preoccupied so didn’t take a trade. Mathew was on top of $GDX miners, bonds, $TLT, and various other plays. Fairly active room considering market. Great team.

Holding:

Looking Forward:

I need to exit $DUST and entered it and held because I was convinced USD/JPY would at minimum do a major spike up to end the rally – but not so lucky. $CBMX and $JUNO are holds in to spring if necessary – that was the plan anyway.

We are looking to volatility, bonds, metals and possibly bio at this point short / mid term – but the market will let us know.

The market has a tonne of inflection points now, Silver Gold and Miner’s woke up some today so things should get interesting soon with our algos that you can find here:

12:15 pm Curtis M : slow

12:52 pm Mathew Waterfall : I’m probably sitting on my hands for the rest of thr week, maybe some downside plays but the market feels like it wants down from here
12:52 pm Mathew Waterfall : I’m content to let it figure our a direction and not forcing anything
12:53 pm Mathew Waterfall : Still holding some swings of course
12:54 pm Curtis M : I need to find a way out of $DUST lol might have to bite – have a few swings and if oil gets up over res I’m hammering down if not gonna cut around pit close or sooner
12:56 pm Mathew Waterfall : Yepp. Gotts say I’m feeling the downside move a bit more over the past week so gold might see some upword action. Coupled with the JPY coming off and it could get moving in a hurry
12:57 pm Michael P : everybody in maket confused now i think
12:58 pm Curtis M : Oil gonna pop or drop guys
12:59 pm Curtis M : 70 / 30 on my side:)

01:51 pm Curtis M : Mathew – anything decent out there?
01:51 pm Curtis M : Keep your $UWT on a short leash folks
01:52 pm Mathew Waterfall : Not much moving on my end really. Sacnning for small pharma moves like yesterday and no dice after the opening period
01:52 pm Mathew Waterfall : Looking at longer term charts currently which is what landed me on the $TLT train of thought
01:52 pm Curtis M : You read my mind – was thinking pharma for EOD
01:52 pm Mathew Waterfall : Option data also light today. Not many sweeps coming through as to be expected in the end of the year
01:53 pm Mathew Waterfall : I like pharma into next year. About the only sector I really like right now
01:54 pm Mathew Waterfall : Looking for a pop in $OPXA and $AMPE. Both solid off the lows looking for a $CNAT type move in both
01:57 pm Mathew Waterfall : $FH looks decent. Nice expanding colume but at best a grinder higher
01:58 pm Curtis M : While slow I may as well mention thanks for the DMs on the assistance in the room – we’ll reach out early January – we’ve limited number of people till next week when guys are in room helping Mathew and I and media starts Fri so new year new peeps and yup we’ll reach out – thx!
02:02 pm Curtis M : Good call on $GDX Mathew – you’ve been all over that – could be a bg move
02:03 pm Mathew Waterfall : Thanks still watching and have it in a similar range. Breakout should be vicious but not going to rush into it
02:20 pm Curtis M : Careful around pit close here oil related longs
02:25 pm Curtis M : holding – but close
02:27 pm Curtis M : acton not the best hahahahaha jeez
02:27 pm Curtis M : watch out could get bad
02:32 pm Curtis M : terrible but Iheld
02:33 pm Curtis M : If price loses that white line (quadrant) Im out for loss
02:34 pm Mathew Waterfall : Stopped on $BTW. 10 cent loser on that swing attempt. Chop chop day out there
02:34 pm Mathew Waterfall : $BTX that is. Thinking about 2 tickers at once
02:42 pm Curtis M : Wellll uggh anyway so I got scaled in for a total of 1800 $UWT and will hold 2/3 overnight if it holds here – only reason my tolerance high is the upward channel we’re in
02:49 pm Mathew Waterfall : $OPXA trying here. Thought $HK might go but it’s just sat there sense running so not touching that play
02:50 pm Curtis M : $OPXA some otheres on social saying same thing (good traders lol)
02:51 pm Mathew Waterfall : You’ve found my alternate accounts it looks like lol
02:51 pm Mathew Waterfall : I haven’t seen much so that’s comforting
02:56 pm Curtis M : Sorry went on a Twitter rant
02:56 pm Carol B : ya reading it bursting
02:56 pm Curtis M : Im a terrible loser
02:57 pm Mathew Waterfall : hahaha this is a good game for people like us who hate to lose
02:58 pm Mathew Waterfall : Will only make you work harder
02:58 pm Curtis M : Just hate it – grew up in that era where we didn’t get trophies for losing haha
03:01 pm Mathew Waterfall : Missed the boat on $ICPT dang
03:02 pm Mathew Waterfall : Going crazy
03:03 pm Curtis M : wtf
03:07 pm Mathew Waterfall : $DRAM remaining super strong here as well. Surprising based off of the way it has acted I was looking for a pullback

03:12 pm Curtis M : charts are messed will have to fix later
03:13 pm Darni T : that msdi is a rocket
03:14 pm Mathew Waterfall : IWM inside and up on the 30 but weak so far. Market looks tired and wants to go down to me

03:26 pm Darni T : Just window shopping
03:27 pm Mathew Waterfall : I want to think we are going higher, but I have 0 confidence in that
03:27 pm Carol B : Wisdom
03:29 pm Mathew Waterfall : At best in a week like this we see a grind higher. Worse we can see a lot of downward momentum if sellers get after it in absense of volume
03:29 pm Mathew Waterfall : Staircase up, elevator down effect
03:31 pm Mathew Waterfall : For $SPY levels I have it riding a trendline down. Fibs at 223.6 and 220.69. Trendline would get us to first target Friday
03:32 pm Curtis M : Out $UWT loss fark – 1800 shares total – didn’t get fills I wanted for 1 + 3K 
03:33 pm Mathew Waterfall : $AFCO looks nice for a breakout here
03:34 pm Dani M : $AFCO I was watching also

03:40 pm Darni T : Looks bad I can admit it CAROL
03:40 pm Carol B : Looks like a turn.
03:41 pm Mathew Waterfall : My $TLT play is working well. I’m going to watch the BOJ overnight antics. If we can break that chart I’ll start adding in metals and miners
03:41 pm Carol B : Darni – you will just 4x enter what Curt and Mathew do anyway – I got you figured out.

Welcome to the morning Wall Street trading day session!

Important Notices:

REVIEW: If you are not reviewing the post market trade reports along with this please do so. We assume our trading room subscribers do review it everyday and as such there will often be information in that report that is applicable to and not included in this premarket report. You will find the post market reports on our blog daily before this one is published.

Reporting Status: Another quickie guys and gals! Until all year-end algos are reset this week you can expect these premarket reports to be quick for now!

New Service Options: We now also offer a stand-alone trading room option now (vs. bundle w/ trading room, premarket newsletter and alerts) at 59.00.

New Service Options: EPIC the Oil Algo now has an Oil Report only option (vs. bundle w/ 24 hr trading room launching early 2017) at 199.00.

New Service Options: Entry-Level trader one-on-one trade coaching and entry-level trade academy options now available in addition to intermediate / advanced trading academy and coaching.

Feature Post: There is a new feature blog post at this link, “Why our Stock Algorithms are Different than Most“. If you are using our algorithms or charting it is a must read.

Room Settings: We are testing fault settings for multiple trading rooms in 2017 (main room, momentum, options, swing, commodities, etc). We can have groups in different rooms all seeing same screen and announcements / broadcast – if you’re moved don’t sweat it – it won’t affect your experience.

Current Holds:

$CBMX, $JUNO, $DUST(definitely looking for a way out on $DUST)

Market Outlook:

As mentioned previous, all algos (Oil, SPY, Gold, Silver, Dollar, VIX) have hit their targets now (long term since July and short term) so we are running calculation targets for all six algos for all time charting time-frames and expect these reports to start rolling out this week (Gold and oil out last night).

PREMARKET, Metals, Crude

Stockmarket, Pre-Market, Trading Plan, Wall Street, Stocks, Day-trading, Watchlist, Chatroom,

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-frames (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). 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 (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.

Morning Stock Watch-Lists for my Favorite Set-Ups:

(1) Pre-Market Gainers Watch-List: Gainers: $OCRX, $RADA, $GGB, $ORIG, $CEMP, $BBL $JDST $VALE $RIO $DGAZ $URA $YELP   I will update before market open or refer to chat room notices.

Regular Trades:

S & P 500: $SPY $ES_F ($SPXL, $SPXS)

It’s looking like in futures overnight we’re going to get some lift Wednesday.

As I wrote last week:

I wrote about resistance the algo alerted at 227.80. 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 knows?

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.

As above in my intro and previous, the chart ain’t broke till its broke. When its broke we’ll let you know.

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)

NA

Outlook:

As I wrote this and last week:

As above, I am thinking opportunity comes between Christmas and Trump, and by the way, when $VIX spikes the easiest play is short short short. FYI.

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. SHORT $VIX SPIKES!

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)

Watching $USDJPY now close for a top. Symmetry is in play on the chart, there is some divergence (although not broke) and metals are starting to front-run.

Per previous:

USDJPY is getting close to symmetry on the chart from the last run up about two years ago – charting on deck in coming reports!!!

Per previous:

BE VERY CAREFUL LISTENING TO THE $USD/JPY bears – they have been feeding misery 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!

My Trading Plan for Currencies / Global Markets: Waiting, waiting, waiting. $USDJPY CHART IS NOT BROKEN! IT IS A BULL UNTIL IT IS NOT…

Gold: $GLD ($UGLD, $DGLD). Miners: $GDX ($NUGT, $DUST, $JDST, $JNUG)

So we have started to see some action in Gold and Miners so it these are on high watch with me right now.

Per recent posts:

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.

WE SHOULD BE ALMOST THERE! GET READY! LIKELY BETWEEN CHRISTMAS AND TRUMP POWER TRANSFER! CHARTS COMING!

Other equities I like for Gold, Miners, Silver Trade: $AUMN, $ASM, $GRL, $VGZ, $NAK – building more complete list now.

Silver $SI_F: $SLV ($USLV, $DSLV)

Same with Gold and miners – on high watch.

Per previous;

Same as Gold – we’re waiting for a decision from market so we can get algo targets.

My Plan for Trading Silver: same

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.

Other equities I like for Gold, Miners, Silver Trade: $AUMN, $ASM, $GRL, $VGZ, $NAK – building more complete list now.

Crude Oil FX : $USOIL $WTI ($UWTI, $DWTI, $GUSH, $ERX, $DRIP, $ERY, $USO, $UCO, $SCO, $UWT, $DWT, $CL_F)

Outlook:

Crude overnight is trading right below a major resistance.

Per Previous:

Last week Tuesday algo target at 4:30 hit and Wednesday 10:30 AM both targets hit to the cent and second and Friday Algo target was a near miss and this week Tuesday 4:30 hit and Wednesday just in to target but not a perfect hit (very tradeable though). Friday targets on charting BUT BE CAUTIOUS WITH FRIDAY TARGETS.

Trading Plan: Watching for a break to upside of resistance with volume for a long entry in $UWT today!

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):

NA – I nailed the alerts in recent weeks with lift but didn’t trade t and don’t expect to anytime soon. Watching.

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).

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).
