Good morning swing traders and welcome to our weekly swing trading memo for the week of Jan 30, 2017!

Don’t hesitate to email us at [email protected] anytime with any questions about any of the swing trades listed below. Or, if we get bogged down private message Curtis in trade room or direct message him on Twitter. Market hours are tough but we endeavor to get back to everyone after market each day.

Notices:

One new chart added for today and there will be more through the week this week. The rest are from the previous report. The new add is Oak Tree Capital $OAK.

It is important to note the other charts below have not been updated since being first inserted here, so be sure to look up most recent trading ranges before considering trades.

This Swing Report is in Development (as with $VIX, $SPY algos) – But We’re Getting There.

Below you will find my top ten picks for swing trading in the first quarter of 2017 (plus a few bonus picks I will be swing trading). I am currently in the middle of compiling the due diligence and charting set-ups for publication for over fifty charts so this list may grow considerably – I am excited about 2017.

As mentioned previous, I will also include our regular algorithmic modeling equities relating to Oil, Gold, Miners, Silver, US Dollar, Volatility and SPY in my 2017 reports (in addition to the ten others listed below) FYI.

In my reports I will focus on both long term holds and swing trading these equities with an intent to try and time the highs and lows (pull-backs) as best as possible. I know many propose that picking the highs and lows isn’t the best method – but to be frank it has served me well over the years.

Also, I should mention, that any of the stocks below that do not trade well (or as planned) I will switch out with another choice as the weeks progress. But the intent is to hold ten investment / swing stocks (per below) and also swing trade in and out of the regular algorithmic modeling equities I mentioned also.

Oh, and the updates will be coming out more often than weekly also (thought I should mention that).

First step is to get charts out with levels I will be trading. Then I’ll put out more DD on each also.

I am going to start below with ones that are most timely and build this out from there (in order of priority for my personal trades and what I see going on in the market).

The Ten Swing Trades I am going to focus on in the First Quarter of 2017 are as follows:

1 – Alphabet (Google) $GOOGL, $GOOG

We like this chart. Watch for an upside break out of the triangle. The principles apply the same to $GOOG and $GOOGL charts fyi. Also, watch the MACD close, it looks primed for a move. Earnings are Thursday. If price breaks to downside I will update with levels to watch. Also, the is a chart below that shows upside target.

1003.17 Price Target in 2017 with upside break-out. Alphabet (Google) $GOOGL

Technically, the price target (should price break to upside) is 1003.17 before Jan 29 2018.

2 – Amazon $AMZN

My fourth priority is Amazon. I don’t want to over simplify this trade – but the bottom line is I’m looking for a pull-back and an entry as close to that 200 day (pink line with green arrow) as possible. I don’t think this stock will stop anytime soon. DD to follow soon.

3 – Juno $JUNO

4 – CombiMatrix Corp $CBMX

My second priority is $CBMX. I am already in this swing and plan to enter in dips at the diagonal trend line (blue). Initial target area is around 5.57 with much greater potential upside. The Trump factor may cause this to come off a bit so my bias is toward late spring for first price target.

5 – OakTree Capital $OAK

Oaktree Capital Group, LLC (OAK) today announced that it will report fourth quarter and full year 2016 financial results prior to the opening of the New York Stock Exchange on Tuesday, February 7, 2017.

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/oaktree-schedules-fourth-quarter-full-133000267.html

Was trading at 37.57 – 38.00 when we originally started to look at it, currently trades at 41.65.

42.71 – 43.50 is our short term swing target (less than 3 months).

49.58 is our 2017 target. No target date.

Our traders will be watching earnings (much like we did with Google last week and we will be doing with Amazon this week). Pending earnings and price action this will be when we enter a trade. Some of our swing traders have obviously seen decent gains since we first put this on our swing trading list a number of weeks back (good timing actually), but our traders have not taken a position yet.

6 – VanEck Vectors Russia ETF $RSX

7 – BOFI Holdings $BOFI

8 – Sunoco Logistics Partners $SXL

9 – US Silica Holdings $SLCA

My fifth priority is $SLCA. Again, another simple chart and it will require some patience. I see a pull-back coming and huge upside under the Trump inertia in to summer. I am looking for a pull-back to the 50 day (yellow arrow) or the 100 day preferably (blue arrow). If it gets away on me I’ll likely chase it and scale in 1/5th at a time.

3 – $NG Nova Gold

The first swing of 2017 I will be entering (likely today) is NovaGold. First target is 6.46 area and second target is 7.30 area. It is currently trading at 5.10. It’s full extension is over 8.50.

Our Standard Algorithmic Modeling Securities I will be providing Swing Trade levels for are:

1 – $SPY

2 – $VIX

My seventh priority is the VIX. I see a pull-back in the market coming and a lift in VIX. The primary trade I am looking for is actually a short in the VIX when it gets upside it’s bolllinger band (it’s a little more complicated than that – specifically with timing and I will be putting an alert out when I do it anyway) – I’ll also play some short term longs in $TVIX or $UVXY.

$VIX Short Swing Trade Above Bollinger Band

3 – $DXY

4 – $SLV

5 – $GLD – Gold (and miner’s $GDX)

My third priority on this list are the miner’s – $GDX and leveraged friends. This one is risky but comes with large gains if miner’s get moving and price breaks in to next quadrant above the yellow one outlined on the chart below. And for the risk taker it can be traded with leveraged ETN’s. There are inherent risks however; one is that price is not at bottom of the trading quadrant so an entry here is not ideal and the obvious issue is the Trump factor.

6 – $USOIL / $WTI

In overnight lab work our developers established a diagonal trendline (blue line in chart that has a blue arrow pointing at it) that has established itself as strong support. If you take a swing trade against that support (as as close to it as possible) then look to the upside of that white dotted arrow line as your target long. Ratchet up stops there.

I will be updating regularly now – I need to get as much done here before inauguration for my own trading too so that’s a major motivator – I will send out updates as I update!

Cheers!

Per Yesterday;

New Member Processing: Because our promo expires at the end of the month we are processing more new members than normal and Sartaj is traveling in Europe so he is processing at each stop on his travels as he gets time – bear with us, we’re getting new members up and running with reports within 72 hours of check-out at this point! Thanks!

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.

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.

Feature Post: There is a 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.

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

$GOOGL, $MSFT, $DUST, $INTC, $JUNO, $CBMX, $ROKA, $TRCH, $LGCY

Google I entered with some of our swing service members after market trading (large entry), $MSFT and $INTC I scalped after market. $TRCH I entered doing regular trade as an add and $LGCY – holding both. Still hold $DUST, $JUNO, $ROKA, $CBMX and I’m bullish on all (have a plan and reasons for all that I won’t get in to here). Had a small papercut moomo trade for a 5 cent loss first thing in morning.

Looking Forward:

I’m still bullish. We were right about Brexit, Trump winning, all time highs in markets, our algos have obviously been nailing it and I have no reason to stop. We are publishing my and the algo and swing trading P&L’s over next few days with obvious massive percentage gains over many hundreds of calls now dating back to last July. We’re also doing some webinars soon to help the market about our algos and to show members how to use them. And finally we have a series of documents and videos coming out that take a scientific approach to all our calls and the verdict on our success – fortunately we tracked the whole launch process. It has been upward and onward since we started developing the algos and I am very very pumped forward.

Per last report on Tuesday;

I’m excited for trade now. Yesterday I pointed out that I was looking at a trade in inverse Gold and that worked out and that it looked like commodities were going to cool some. Also noted yesterday that the market would likely pop and $SPY got some lift. So no surprises at all – going per plan. Epic the Oil algo, Rosie the Gold Algo, SuperNova Silver Algo and the rest of them are all dialed in and hitting well.

I can’t complain – I’ve had a good run, Mathew is hitting it regularly and the members are having a great year so far so it’s all systems a go!

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.

Also looking at the Trump “wall” trade 🙂

12:11 pm Mathew Waterfall : Rollover continuing in USD. $TLT also flashing green

12:57 pm Steve S : $BCEI short cover pop and drop action?
01:00 pm Mathew Waterfall : Halt was for news but I can’t find out what the news was so not trading it
01:00 pm Mathew Waterfall : the 5′ bar it put in is crazy thought
01:01 pm Steve S : No news out there on $BCEI at all
01:02 pm Mathew Waterfall : The only news I could find was that it was halted for news lol so that’s great
01:02 pm Steve S : lol
01:02 pm Mathew Waterfall : Likely a bunch of people guessing at this point
01:04 pm Mathew Waterfall : Dollar getting smoked finally. $GDX running into a trendline over 22.96 will have legs if dollar keeps falling

01:25 pm Mathew Waterfall : $gld call buying coming across here
02:15 pm Mathew Waterfall : still sitting on my hands over here. Gold so far with the 23.6 on the downside and bounced holding above it so far. Close over that at 1184.1 is constructive for a test to upsie at 1221 which is the 38.2 and basically the last swing high
02:26 pm Steve S : Watching your Twitter feed Curt 🙂 Just poking the nerves of bears over there

03:05 pm Mathew Waterfall : Vicious green bar the dollar just put in and basically got swatted as resistance.
03:26 pm Dean S : Adding to $LGCY swing in to close
03:29 pm Mathew Waterfall : What a do nothing day. I will spare you guys the useless ramblings into the close here sense we havne’t really moved all all sense my last check in. Looking for dollar back in the 99’s over the next day or two and gold abck north or 1200. Other than that nothing changed on my radar
03:30 pm Jon E : ya boring
03:31 pm Mathew Waterfall : Even as daytraders we don’t have to trade heavily every day. Over trading can be a good way to donate money, something I hate doing
03:32 pm Gurpreet S : 10 4
03:44 pm Steve S : $KerX lozer
03:50 pm Mathew Waterfall : $TLT wants HOD into the close. 119.29 and I will think of taking some calls

03:59 pm Mathew Waterfall : Big night for earnings. I don’t play earnings so I’ll be watching from the sidelines. Have a good night all, slight down day for me with my miners and metals plays, but looking for upside after some consolidation. See ya in the am
04:00 pm Curtis M : cya Mat

Good morning swing traders and welcome to our weekly swing trading memo for the week of Jan 22, 2017!

Don’t hesitate to email us at [email protected] anytime with any questions about any of the swing trades listed below. Or, if we get bogged down private message Curtis in trade room or direct message him on Twitter. Market hours are tough but we endeavor to get back to everyone after market each day.

Notices:

One new chart added for today! The rest are from the previous report. The new add is Alphabet (Google) $GOOGL. They report earnings this Thursday!

This Swing Report is in Development (as with $VIX, $SPY algos) – But We’re Getting There.

Below you will find my top ten picks for swing trading in the first quarter of 2017 (plus a few bonus picks I will be swing trading). I am currently in the middle of compiling the due diligence and charting set-ups for publication for over fifty charts so this list may grow considerably – I am excited about 2017.

As mentioned previous, I will also include our regular algorithmic modeling equities relating to Oil, Gold, Miners, Silver, US Dollar, Volatility and SPY in my 2017 reports (in addition to the ten others listed below) FYI.

In my reports I will focus on both long term holds and swing trading these equities with an intent to try and time the highs and lows (pull-backs) as best as possible. I know many propose that picking the highs and lows isn’t the best method – but to be frank it has served me well over the years.

Also, I should mention, that any of the stocks below that do not trade well (or as planned) I will switch out with another choice as the weeks progress. But the intent is to hold ten investment / swing stocks (per below) and also swing trade in and out of the regular algorithmic modeling equities I mentioned also.

So bottom line is that I am in process here, building it out, it isn’t done, it’s going to take a lot more time than I ever imagined, but I’ll be updating and building this out considerably now forward. Again, sorry about the delays.

Oh, and the updates will be coming out more often than weekly also (thought I should mention that).

First step is to get charts out with levels I will be trading. Then I’ll put out more DD on each also.

I am going to start below with ones that are most timely and build this out from there (in order of priority for my personal trades and what I see going on in the market).

The Ten Swing Trades I am going to focus on in the First Quarter of 2017 are as follows:

1 – Alphabet (Google) $GOOGL, $GOOG

We like this chart. Watch for an upside break out of the triangle. The principles apply the same to $GOOG and $GOOGL charts fyi. Also, watch the MACD close, it looks primed for a move. Earnings are Thursday. If price breaks to downside I will update with levels to watch. Also, the is a chart below that shows upside target.

1003.17 Price Target in 2017 with upside break-out. Alphabet (Google) $GOOGL

Technically, the price target (should price break to upside) is 1003.17 before Jan 29 2018.

2 – Amazon $AMZN

My fourth priority is Amazon. I don’t want to over simplify this trade – but the bottom line is I’m looking for a pull-back and an entry as close to that 200 day (pink line with green arrow) as possible. I don’t think this stock will stop anytime soon. DD to follow soon.

$AMZN, Swing

$AMZN Swing

3 – Juno $JUNO

4 – CombiMatrix Corp $CBMX

My second priority is $CBMX. I am already in this swing and plan to enter in dips at the diagonal trend line (blue). Initial target area is around 5.57 with much greater potential upside. The Trump factor may cause this to come off a bit so my bias is toward late spring for first price target.

6 – VanEck Vectors Russia ETF $RSX

7 – BOFI Holdings $BOFI

8 – Sunoco Logistics Partners $SXL

9 – US Silica Holdings $SLCA

My fifth priority is $SLCA. Again, another simple chart and it will require some patience. I see a pull-back coming and huge upside under the Trump inertia in to summer. I am looking for a pull-back to the 50 day (yellow arrow) or the 100 day preferably (blue arrow). If it gets away on me I’ll likely chase it and scale in 1/5th at a time.

3 – $NG Nova Gold

The first swing of 2017 I will be entering (likely today) is NovaGold. First target is 6.46 area and second target is 7.30 area. It is currently trading at 5.10. It’s full extension is over 8.50.

Our Standard Algorithmic Modeling Securities I will be providing Swing Trade levels for are:

1 – $SPY

2 – $VIX

My seventh priority is the VIX. I see a pull-back in the market coming and a lift in VIX. The primary trade I am looking for is actually a short in the VIX when it gets upside it’s bolllinger band (it’s a little more complicated than that – specifically with timing and I will be putting an alert out when I do it anyway) – I’ll also play some short term longs in $TVIX or $UVXY.

3 – $DXY

4 – $SLV

5 – $GLD – Gold (and miner’s $GDX)

My third priority on this list are the miner’s – $GDX and leveraged friends. This one is risky but comes with large gains if miner’s get moving and price breaks in to next quadrant above the yellow one outlined on the chart below. And for the risk taker it can be traded with leveraged ETN’s. There are inherent risks however; one is that price is not at bottom of the trading quadrant so an entry here is not ideal and the obvious issue is the Trump factor.

6 – $USOIL / $WTI

In overnight lab work our developers established a diagonal trendline (blue line in chart that has a blue arrow pointing at it) that has established itself as strong support. If you take a swing trade against that support (as as close to it as possible) then look to the upside of that white dotted arrow line as your target long. Ratchet up stops there.

Good morning swing traders and welcome to our weekly swing trading memo for the week of Jan 16, 2017!

Don’t hesitate to email us at [email protected] anytime with any questions about any of the swing trades listed below. Or, if we get bogged down private message Curtis in trade room or direct message him on Twitter. Market hours are tough but we endeavor to get back to everyone after market each day.

Notices:

Below only one new chart added for today! The rest are from the previous report. It’s $USOIL $WTI that can be traded also with $UWT $DWT, $USO, $UCO, $SCO etc… Anyway, oil has established a support area that would be decent as a swing trade – see below for details.

This Swing Report is in Development (as with $VIX, $SPY algos) – But We’re Getting There.

Below you will find my top ten picks for swing trading in the first quarter of 2017 (plus a few bonus picks I will be swing trading). I am currently in the middle of compiling the due diligence and charting set-ups for publication for over fifty charts so this list may grow considerably – I am excited about 2017.

As mentioned previous, I will also include our regular algorithmic modeling equities relating to Oil, Gold, Miners, Silver, US Dollar, Volatility and SPY in my 2017 reports (in addition to the ten others listed below) FYI.

In my reports I will focus on both long term holds and swing trading these equities with an intent to try and time the highs and lows (pull-backs) as best as possible. I know many propose that picking the highs and lows isn’t the best method – but to be frank it has served me well over the years.

Also, I should mention, that any of the stocks below that do not trade well (or as planned) I will switch out with another choice as the weeks progress. But the intent is to hold ten investment / swing stocks (per below) and also swing trade in and out of the regular algorithmic modeling equities I mentioned also.

So bottom line is that I am in process here, building it out, it isn’t done, it’s going to take a lot more time than I ever imagined, but I’ll be updating and building this out considerably now forward. Again, sorry about the delays.

Good morning swing traders and welcome to our weekly swing trading memo for the week of Jan 9, 2017!

Don’t hesitate to email us at [email protected] anytime with any questions about any of the swing trades listed below. Or, if we get bogged down private message Curtis in trade room or direct message him on Twitter. Market hours are tough but we endeavor to get back to everyone after market each day.

This is Only an Intro Memo.

Below you will find my top ten picks for swing trading in the first quarter of 2017. I am currently in the middle of compiling the due diligence and charting set-ups for publication. I will have this out to members within 48 hours. I apologize for the delay. I found myself deep in to the charting, financials and company technical dynamics of over fifty companies while doing my research for 2017 swing and investment trades – I didn’t expect to get that deep and involved in my research. But I did and that has caused a bit of delay.

I will also include our regular algorithmic modeling equities relating to Oil, Gold, Miners, Silver, US Dollar, Volatility and SPY in my 2017 reports (in addition to the ten others listed below) FYI.

I am very encouraged getting back in to investing and swing trading this year – I have been on the sidelines for the better part of two years as the markets have been more sideways than up or down. But I see 2017 as a really strong investing and swing trading year.

So below I only share my top picks and will have complete swing and investment reports out within 48 hours and thereafter I will have weekly swing set-ups published like clock-work moving forward. In my reports I will focus on both long term holds and swing trading these equities with an intent to try and time the highs and lows (pull-backs) as best as possible. I know many propose that picking the highs and lows isn’t the best method – but to be frank it has served me well over the years.

Also, I should mention, that any of the stocks below that do not trade well (or as planned) I will switch out with another choice as the weeks progress. But the intent is to hold ten investment / swing stocks (per below) and also swing trade in and out of the regular algorithmic modeling equities I mentioned also.

The Ten Securities I Am Going to Focus on in the First Quarter of 2017 are as Follows:

Google $GOOGL

Amazon $AMZN

Juno $JUNO

CombiMatrix Corp $CBMX

OakTree Capital $OAK

VanEck Vectors Russia ETF $RSX

BOFI Holdings $BOFI

Sunoco Logistics Partners $SXL

US Silica Holdings $SLCA

EOG Resources $EOG

So if you could, bear with me for another 48 hours and I will have complete charting and due diligence out to our swing trade members and onward and upward for 2017!

Oh, and I should mention, I did receive a number of emails over Christmas and will be responding to them in conjunction with turning around my report here over the next couple days.

Cheers!

Curtis.

Welcome to the morning Wall Street trading day session!

Notices:

Equipment Upgrades: Final upgrades are done and final coding bugs cleaned up as of 12:30 yesterday so SMS / Email alerts are ready for today. HOWEVER, you have to be aware that the SMS / Email alerts are only as we are able to do t (it can be busy in the room) and the morning momo trades can be done before you even get an alerts. So of course most alerts wll be beneficial  but you do need to be aware.

Algorithmic charting / service newsletters: The last of them are being finalized over 48 hours and all new 2017 services on our list will be rolling out.

Per previous;

Feature Post: “Why our Stock Algorithms are Different than Most“. If you are using our algorithmic model charting it is a must read.

Review: If you are not reviewing the post market trading results along with this please do so. We assume our trading room subscribers review it everyday. There is often information applicable to and not included in this premarket report. You will find the post market trading result reports on our blog daily.

New Service Options: We now also offer a stand-alone trading room option now vs. bundle incl. trading room, premarket newsletter, alerts). Plans from $1.22 per day w/ promo code.

New Service Options: EPIC the Oil Algo now has an Oil Report only option vs. bundle w/ 24 hr trading room. Plans from $4.10 per day w/promo code.

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.

Current Holds:

Per previous;

$CBMX, $JUNO, $DUST (looking for a way out on $DUST – was expecting one final significant spike in USDJPY before drop). $CBMX and $JUNO are holds till spring if necessary (you would have to do your own DD on the companies and make your own determination).

Market Outlook:

Lots of news with the Chinese Yuan overnight and it looks like retail numbers from the Christmas season are going to disappoint!

Per previous;

Early in 2017 I will be watching very closely bonds, $USDJPY, markets in general for direction (of course there are hundreds of variables).

Generally speaking I am looking for some volatility between now and late January. My instinct tells me that even if there is some downdraft in the markets that the Trump train will sweep them up in positive momentum at some point.

Metals, energy and financials are three areas I am looking to for 2017 for trading margin – with bio in fourth place on my list. And per previous we’re expecting some action in bonds to the upside a high probability.

As a trader, it is the margin / volatility I am focused toward and getting on the right side of a market / sector turn and scaling in to that.

Per 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 first week of January 2017.

If you are new to our trading service you should review recent blog posts 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.

Regular Trades:

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

Watching, watching, watching. $SPY is still having difficulty with the resistance our algo alerted weeks back prior to Fed speak.

Per previous;

The S&P did exactly what we thought it would last year.

We thought Trump would win and that would cause a rally and that did occur. We also expected some rest before EOY and our algorithm called that to the day and almost penny.

Here forward is more difficult to predict – we are going to assess price action as the year turns over and the Trump era unfolds.

I wouldn’t rule out a sell off and I wouldn’t rule out a rally. I think they are both likely in 2017. We just want to catch the inflection right.

$SPY, Intra-day, Fibonacci

Tight Intra-day trading levels. $SPY 527 Jan 3 S&P 500 Trading Chart Update $ES_F ($SPXL, $SPXS)

My Trading Plan for $SPY:

Per previous;

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:

Per previous;

As noted above, we expect volatility.

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)

Per previous;

We are watching $USD/JPY close of course. We are also watching the Mexico Peso and the Russian markets – both could see significant lift early 2017.

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:

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:

Per previous;

Waiting, waiting, waiting. $USDJPY CHART IS NOT BROKEN! IT IS A BULL UNTIL IT IS NOT…

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

There is a public post from Rosie the Gold algo overnight (click to view) and a Rosie the Gold Algo member’s version on deck.

Gold, Chart

There’s Gold in them thar hills boy! Rosie algo report ondeck! $GC_F $GLD $XAUUSD $GDX $GDXJ $NUGT $DUST $JNUG $JDST

Per previous;

As you may know, we called the bottom (if it is) almost to the penny (months in advance) and recently Gold and miners did get lift (which we expected / called). Between now and Jan 20 anything is possible.

It would be most logical that miners would rally and Gold may also.

But you need to remember that Trump has surprised everyone since he started campaigning and a significant Trump rally in the markets cannot be ruled out. If that happens, Gold will obviously most likely see new lows to between 800 – 1000.

So be ready, and lets catch the inflection. I was expecting on last run in USDJPY so be cautious.

Per recent posts:

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

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: $IAG, $AUY, $AUMN, $ASM, $GRL, $VGZ, $NAK – building more complete list now.

Silver $SI_F: $SLV ($USLV, $DSLV, $SILJ $SLX $EPU $EWZ)

Outlook:

Per previous;

Same with Gold and miners – on high watch.

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.

Other equities I like for Gold, Miners, Silver Trade: $IAG, $AUY, $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:

I missed a golden opportunity yesterday – once again not trading it because the price action around holidays makes me nervous. But price did get near the outside of the upward trending channel and I should have taken that trade – no excuse. I wont miss the next one.

Missed trade yesterday at support (yellow lines). Crude algo intra work sheet 550 AM Jan 5 FX $USOIL $WTIC #OIL $CL_F CL $USO $UCO $SCO $UWT $DWT #OOTT

My Trading Plan for Oil Related Equities:

When price gets back to a support or outside channel I’ll take a trade.

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 $NATGASUSD ($UGAZ, $DGAZ):

Outlook:

https://www.tradingview.com/chart/NATGASUSD/B3RWPton-NATGASUSD/

Watching very close here. Yesterday at 1:00 PM I just about pulled the trigger on a day trade $UGAZ when I thought Natural Gas was at a support – and sure enough. On high watch again. We’re getting closer to locking the math down.

$NATGASUSD, Chart

Natural Gas $NG_F $NATGASUSD ($UGAZ, $DGAZ)

My Trading Plan for Natural Gas: Watching for confirmation (same as above – new year and Trump phenom make it difficult to future cast).

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).

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:

Today for me is all about metal equities (building list now) and ETF’s confirming and possible entries, watching volatility and the oil report (off a day because of holiday).

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 before Jan 2017 trade.

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 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.

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)

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/

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.

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:

$DUST, $CBMX, $JUNO

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:

11:22 am Mathew Waterfall : Almost made the 10 day on that $CYCC short entry. I didn’t get my fill, rooking move having sell over at 6.2, should have had it down a couple of cents as everyone was lined up at the same level and thus it never made it there

12:06 pm Sammy T : $MXL.V vol
12:11 pm Mathew Waterfall : Not much getting me too excited out here today. After the $DRAM pop nothing has been looking too constructive
12:15 pm Curtis M : slow
12:24 pm Mathew Waterfall : Liking bonds here actually. Consolidating along a fib support. Rounded bottom possible especially with market weakness
12:25 pm Mathew Waterfall : Rally got started 12/30 of last year so that is also a possibility this year
12:25 pm Curtis M : hmmm
12:25 pm MarketMaven M : yessir

12:51 pm MarketMaven M : Short $KATE now looks decent
12:52 pm Mathew Waterfall : I was just thinking that MarketMM
12:52 pm MarketMaven M : yup
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:)
01:00 pm Curtis M : whoa $KATE surprise
01:00 pm Curtis M : Instit $ in there likely
01:03 pm Curtis M : Crude decision time soon
01:10 pm Curtis M : This could be it – loading
01:19 pm Curtis M : need the machines back ugh
01:19 pm Curtis M : here we go for another try
01:22 pm Mathew Waterfall : $TLT and the bonds making it happen here. Let’s do it
01:23 pm Curtis M : Ground zero here today
01:24 pm Curtis M : Not a time for beginners
01:26 pm Mathew Waterfall : uh yea you can say that again lol. Next few months aren’t going to be the easy street of most of 16
01:28 pm Sammy T : Scaling in 3000 $UWTI as back test confirms
01:28 pm Sammy T : That good Curt?

01:39 pm Curtis M : With pit close coming I am gong to try and hold even tho serious resistance up ahead
01:43 pm MarketMaven M : $CDNX long
01:45 pm Sammy T : Like OIL here Curt looks bullish
01:48 pm Darni T : $NVDA decent short
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
03:08 pm Curtis M : back in 5
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
03:16 pm OILK K : $KATE wow HOD
03:18 pm Carol B : $IOTS nice chart guys
03:20 pm Mathew Waterfall : Just looking at $IOTS. I’m interested over 2.2 swing high potentially
03:20 pm Mathew Waterfall : $DRAM type play possible
03:20 pm Darni T : Could go
03:21 pm Darni T : I’m watching $REN if you can believe it for long possible
03:21 pm Carol B : $REN? I see. $IOTS looks good darni

03:25 pm Darni T : $GNRT going to the moon soon.
03:25 pm Mathew Waterfall : Long $SPY you saY? Goodluck Darni
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
03:35 pm Mathew Waterfall : I’m waiting to see a close and open tomorrow. Blue sky above though
03:38 pm Curtis M : Mathew – we may get the turn – could be metals mania etc for a while
03:39 pm Darni T : You guys on are on it. Darni needs to keep window shopping.
03:40 pm Darni T : I didnt enter anything yet – you may have convinced the pro Darni trader now.
03:40 pm Mathew Waterfall : I was just looking at NUGT options lol
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.
03:42 pm Carol B : Look at $SPY
03:42 pm Mathew Waterfall : $IWM tried the inside and up, only to get slammed

03:50 pm Curtis M : Me – I am just axcted about a possible turn – trends are where we make the money.
03:51 pm Mathew Waterfall : Some kind of direction would be nice after last couple of weeks. Chop city sucks
03:51 pm Curtis M : Been tough for sure – I though it was just me haha
03:54 pm Mathew Waterfall : December is always a rough one for me as well. Light volume, rebalancing, tax selling ect
