Review of my Chat Room Stock Day Trades and Alerts for Wednesday Nov 30, 2016. OPEC, OIL, $USOIL, $UWTI, $GENE, $SCON, $SGY $CRC, $SDRL $NE $RIG and more.

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.

Overview Perspective & Review of Chart Room, Trades and Alerts:

From Tuesday:

Today was a day of review of inflecton point charts in $USD/JPY, $SILVER, $GOLD, $DXY, $SPY, $NATGAS etc. Spent some time in the afternoon going over levels to watch.

Trader’s were obviously aware of levels Wednesday when morning run-up occurred and OPEC deal came being that we reviewed oil algo targets / charting etc day befo

Nobody nowhere ever has EPIC hit rate – none.

And @RosietheAlgo and @SuperNovaAlgo won’t be far behind. The other three are likely a few months yet. Existing subs will be grandfathered (which is how it will work with all our algos as they roll out).

Why am I on about all this? Cause we get a lot of “special” people on social media etc… gets a little long in the tooth sometimes.

From Tuesday:

Also, we are waiting for OPEC decision. I am long $UWTI from late Friday.

Wednesday was in fact about oil. Epic nailed the target at 10:30 predicted last week on his feed and we reviewed in detail the new algo targets. It was also about oil companies and shippers got a bit jiggy and yes $GENE and $SCON got ramp room.

I see $GOLD and $SILVER are once again testing Rosie and SuperNova’s price targets in overnight.

Primary Lessons That May Help Your Trades:

My $UWTI long…I sold too early – I can do the math on the algo but I can’t trade it like I know math. Pure and simple.

$GOLD and $SILVER per previous comments;

So far we’ve play $GOLD and $SILVER right waiting for the inflection trend reverse.

$SPY per previous comments;

I haven’t taken a trade on recently, perhaps should have entered on this most recent pull-back, looking for position soon again.

Previous comments;

The $SPY play I had set properly prior to election has played out exactly as predicted and didn’t really capitalize like I could have so far – but it hasn’t exactly been a face ripper like Brexit or last Jan or last Sept (all of which I caught) – it’s been much more orderly so I’ve spent my energy preparing for the trend reverse.

I AM GOING LONG $SPY SOON. And then it should tank sometime between Christmas and May – we’ll see. Should.

I should also say I will be hammering down on some longer term swing plays soon. Time-frame likely 2 weeks to 4 months type of plays. Market is improving. Looking for other side of inflection of course. Why do I emphasize that soooo much??? Because if you’ve been following me at all you will know I’ve been scalping only for months. There’s a time to scalp a time to swing and a time to hammer down. SO YOU WILL SEE A DIFFERENT TRADER WHEN IT COMES TO SWINGS ETC. MUCH bigger entries and LONGER HOLDS and ESCALATED ENTRIES. I scalp to stay in the market when its f’d and I like to keep in the heartbeat and I like to reset my basics and discipline etc etc. Anyway, I believe I can see the directions in general terms fairly clear now whereas the last 18 months has been off for me – I didn’t like Obama at all. Zero. None. Ugh. Terrible. I’m not a left or right I’m a capitalist I guess so more right but a lot of me is left so I’m me. I just didn’t like his ways.Trump will be much more predictable and capitalist predictable I guess is what I’m saying. Just want to make it clear so any that aren’t clear have it clear clear clear cause I can’t stand “you didn’t tell me or you told me this” comments. Hate them. Hate. 🙂 I go out of my way to be clear. 🙂 🙂

Nov 2016

Review of my Chat Room Stock Day Trades and Alerts for Tuesday Nov 29, 2016. $CBMX, $GLBS, $DRYS, $SHIP, $UWTI, OPEC, $USOIL, $WTI, OIL and more.

Intro:

Overview Perspective of Chart Room, Trades and Alerts:

Today was a day of review of inflecton point charts in $USD/JPY, $SILVER, $GOLD, $DXY, $SPY, $NATGAS etc. Spent some time in the afternoon going over levels to watch. As we get in to Dec with members only I will be reviewing in more depth including algorithm details. So this will be normal practice in quiet periods in room. I am also booking some guest speakers for those times.

Also, we are waiting for OPEC decison. I am long $UWTI from late Friday.

And then there were the Shippers and some BIO runners today for those of us tired of sitting on our hands during inflection – I made my donation – twice.

Primary Lessons That May Help Your Trades:

My $UWTI long… previous comments;

I took a trade on $UWTI at the wrong time on the chart – didn’t get on right side of it. I sold in morning to be sure I got out (OPEC has me pensive) and then took a position later when it “looked like” price action was going to get away on me —-> FOMO is what that is called. Oh well, can’t win them all – haven’t lost it yet – but definitely on wrong side of trade so far and that’s not the edge a trader wants.

So now it’s hard to say – in overnight trading oil is up 4.83%.

$GOLD and $SILVER per previous comments;

So far we’ve play $GOLD and $SILVER right waiting for the inflection trend reverse.

$SPY, I haven’t taken a trade on recently, perhaps should have entered on this most recent pull-back, looking for position soon again. Previous comments;

The $SPY play I had set properly prior to election has played out exactly as predicted and didn’t really capitalize like I could have so far – but it hasn’t exactly been a face ripper like Brexit or last Jan or last Sept (all of which I caught) – it’s been much more orderly so I’ve spent my energy preparing for the trend reverse.

$CBMX, this is my LESSON OF THE DAY. I don’t know how many times I have to learn this one…. cut fast. Anyway, I’m under water on it so we’ll see. It is a smaller position in my swing account so it isn’t that concerning but still a bad move. The way I play this is to hammer down two more times at inflection points on the wash-out with tight stops.

Nov 2016

Review of my Chat Room Stock Day Trades and Alerts for Monday Nov 28, 2016. OPEC, FOMO, $PZRX, GURU Posts, $GLBS, $UWTI, $USOIL, $WTI, OIL and more.

Intro:

Overview Perspective of Chart Room, Trades and Alerts:

Second quiet day in a row for me. There were some runners today $PZRX, $AIRI, $EPIX $HTBX, $TIME and a few more…. but didn’t catch any – small cap bios really. $GLBS got halted and offering of course and tank – a LESSON THERE FOR SURE – very dangerous plays they are. I love the GURUS that post their short positions after the halt – whatever. And the standard plays (Gold, Silver, Dollar, etc) we work with are still at inflection but it looks like that’s almost over. Tomorrow is GDP and EIA and other interesting things like OPEC are coming soon.

Primary Lessons That May Help Your Trades:

I took a trade on $UWTI at the wrong time on the chart – didn’t get on right side of it. I sold in morning to be sure I got out (OPEC has me pensive) and then took a position later when it “looked like” price action was going to get away on me —-> FOMO is what that is called. Oh well, can’t win them all – haven’t lost it yet – but definitely on wrong side of trade so far and that’s not the edge a trader wants.

So far we’ve play $GOLD and $SILVER right waiting for the inflection trend reverse. The $SPY play I had set properly prior to election has played out exactly as predicted and didn’t really capitalize like I could have so far – but it hasn’t exactly been a face ripper like Brexit or last Jan or last Sept (all of which I caught) – it’s been much more orderly so I’ve spent my energy preparing for the trend reverse.

So hopefully things pick up a bit soon. Of course I know they will. Patience.

Review of my Chat Room Stock Day Trades and Alerts for Friday Nov 25, 2016. $NAVB, $JUNO, $SKLN, $JNUG, $SKLN, $UWTI, $USOIL, $WTI, OIL and more.

Intro:

Overview Perspective of Chart Room, Trades and Alerts:

Friday was a super calm day. Not a lot to report but there were some important trading lessons.

Primary Lessons That May Help Your Trades:

I took a long trade on $UWTI (yes I know it is delisting). My play is a 6 to 1 risk reward (considering OPEC meetings) that as of writing (3:41 am Monday) my trade is going against me. I may enter again long or cut – I haven’t decided. I entered also thinking I may get a bounce at diagonal trend line (blue) just below my trade (chart below) but it didn’t bounce – but I held thinking I may re-enter another long early in week. Interestingly price did hit one of Epic the Oil Algo’s price targets. Anyway, looks like I’m on wrong side of it so we’ll see.

$JUNO (chart below) I got out of my swing trade for a profit and will watch for a possible re-enter. My pre market blog post will have technicals and what to watch for.

$SKLN – the 200 day got under stock price on the 3 minute AND I MISSED IT! A BIG MISTAKE! And what made it worse is GSCT in the room even alerted us…. ugh. YOU NEVER WANT TO MISS THE 200 Day on the 3 min 5 or 15 getting under price on these wash-outs – huge mistake.

And I completed my video uploads from my $SKLN trade last week – lots of indicator lessons packed in to these videos!

Review of my Chat Room Stock Day Trades and Alerts for Wednesday Nov 23, 2016. $JUNO, $ANF, $SKLN, $GOLD, $SILVER, $XIV, $USOIL, $WTI, OIL and more.

Intro:

Overview Perspective of Chart Room, Trades and Alerts:

Kind of an odd day with Thanksgiving Day around the corner today. Market fade was heavy late day. Some small cap low floats were running a bit. Gold and Silver were the big watches for us because the price for both was either just entering the price target zone of our algos or really close.

Primary Lessons That May Help Your Trades:

$ANF Abercrombie trade lessons were two… #1 being most important and that is that 200 day on the 5 – once that 200 on the 5 got under the price it was rocket time (classic snap-back and gap fill). So waiting would have paid dividends. It just gets tough to stay on top of them over days. There is a recent wash-out on $SKLN that I should watch closer for this.

$SKLN Another wash-out snap back play to watch close. The 200 on the 5 is still a ways away – but on close watch for me. pic.twitter.com/5WaQvdmEvy

— Curtis Melonopoly (@curtmelonopoly) November 25, 2016

$JUNO Therapeutics was my #2 lesson… waiting for the proper set-up in terms of moving averages would have likely been safer – I’m in this swing 22.31 and it closed at 22.56.

My Stock Trading Plan for Wednesday Nov 23, 2016 in Chatroom. $LLI, $JUNO, $IBB $LABU $LABD $AXON, $SKLN, $USOIL $WTI, $NATGAS … more.

Welcome to the Wednesday Wall Street trading session!

Algo work – As of right now our algorithms are calculating and we are commencing publication of algo charting for the following charting starting this morning for: $SPY, $USOIL $WTI, $VIX, $DXY, $GOLD, $SILVER – any not completed before market open will be available prior to market open Thursday! Sorry we’re running a little behind, but there’s been a massive to-do list getting room up and running properly and quite frankly these are not normal markets.

Get ready for a huge day!

Market Outlook

$JUNO – 30 and $LLI Eli Lilly and others are getting smoked this morning – so the obvious watch is this basket / sector. $IBB $LABU $LABD $AXON all on watch too.

$LABU and $LABD may have some nice trading range today. ⤵😲 https://t.co/2jxy5Uou73

Generally speaking the markets obviously are in a Trump win rally (which we predicted and posted prior to the election – just keeping it real). BUT, now here’s the warning!

Our algorithms posted long time ago $DXY US Dollar price target of 100.50 (which it hit and continued to rally), $GOLD price target not far below where it is trading now, and a $SILVER price target not far below where it is trading now. Of course we published algo targets and various info for the others including $SPY, $VIX and FX: $USOIL $WTI – but for the purpose of this warning – this is about the dollar, gold, and silver.

The warning is that we fully expect a rip in Gold and Silver and for the $USD/JPY to back off. This will create a series of snap-back scenarios… too many to post right here right now. SO IN SHORT, I am saying that we don’t expect the broad global markets to continue on a bull train for much more than say about 10% ish at most more. NOW CAREFUL, I am not saying the S&P 500 for example only has 10% more to the upside – not at all (I posted long before the election we had targets for a face ripper rally in $SPY after the election). BUT WHAT I AM SAYING is that many sectors are going to have a snap-back.

So watch closely over the coming days and weeks for that in various areas of the market. We expect commodities like Gold and Silver to snap back, the $USD/JPY to back off, the price of oil to rally in to the spring and a number of other areas of markets.

SO THIS MEANS (for me) that I need to get on a complete exploratory of opportunities this will represent – I hope to have something consolidated this weekend.

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. Just prior to open and shortly after open I post momentum stocks to the trade chat room (and Twitter 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 (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: $REXX $DE $LABD $ZBIO $TXMD $AVXL $VEEV $JDST $CNHI $MRNS $GME $OPTT – I Will Update Before Market Open or Refer to Chat Room.

(2) Pre-market Decliners Watch-List: – I Will Update Before Market Open or Refer to Chat Room.

(3) Other Watch-List: $ANF (watching for exit on my swing), $SKLN for wash-out and snap-back, Steel $X, $AKS, $NUE, $CLF, .

(4) Regular Algo Charting Watch-List: Gold $GLD, Miners $GDX ($NUGT, $DUST, $JDST, $JNUG), Silver $SLV ($USLV, $DSLV), Crude Oil FX: $USOIL $WTI ($UWTI, $DWTI, $USO, $UCO, $CL_F), Natural Gas ($UGAZ, $DGAZ), S & P 500 $SPY ($SPXL, $SPXS), US Dollar Index $DXY ($UUP), Volatility $VIX ($TVIX, $UVXY, $XIV)

Stay tuned in Stock Chat Room for more pre-market stocks on watch.

Going well. Abercrombie $ANF Swing Trade trading at 15.49 Tuesday Nov 22, 2016 – entered at 14.96 3000 shares last Friday. pic.twitter.com/UbX8Rq3R5N

— Curtis Melonopoly (@curtmelonopoly) November 23, 2016

Regular Trades:

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

Outlook: My bias is still to new highs – but a pull-back will come – so watch close now.

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: I expect volatility at market inflection points and then continue to get crushed. Watch for volatility to rise on a trend – even if $SPY is still rising – volatility is a great indicator for what’s around the corner.

My Trading Plan for Volatility: I will likely follow that trend with $TVIX $UVXY $XIV buys at range pivots / pending price action, volume and other geo events.

Currencies and Other Global Markets: $DXY US Dollar Index ($UUP US Dollar Bull, $UDN British Pound, $USD/JPY, $FXY Japanese Yen Trust, $CNY China, $TZA, $SMK / $EWW Mexico Capped ETF)

Outlook: The real story here right now obviously is the $USD/JPY trade and various other currencies being pounded by the US Dollar. Be careful here now because the $USD/JPY chart (although not broken and still bullish) is showing a rounded top forming. So the chart is changing now – caution IMO.

My Trading Plan for Currencies / Global Markets: $UUP (long US Dollar) seems to be a bit extended obviously, so this opportunity is a tad long in the tooth if you ask me – same with $USD/JPY. So for $GOLD and the miners $GDX watch the $USD/JPY closedly.

Emerging markets should be watched close now very closely IMO ($EEM, $EEV, $EDZ)

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

On Friday I wrote and it still stands,

For me Gold and Silver is going to be the big story soon. It should start to get some lift if only for a short time and that process may go on for a while – so I will snipe as that occurs. I have started to chew around the edges with tight trades but nothing yet. The idea is to get on the winning side of the reverse when it occurs. Watching $USD/$JPY close and $DXY and $FXY for clues on Gold and miners movements.

Other equities I like for Gold Trade: $AUMN (penny stock)

Silver: $SLV ($USLV, $DSLV)

As I wrote on Friday,

As with Gold I’m awaiting buy trigger on Silver – here again I will chew around the edges sniping until the reverse trend occurs.

Other equities I like for Silver trade: $AUMN (penny stock)

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

Outlook: We are bullish oil and have been for some time (since it bottomed in its most recent trading range).

Trading Plan: We have been successfully trading the range with various instruments in the trading room.

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: ($UGAZ, $DGAZ)

Natural gas IMO isn’t ready until it breaks 3.10 on back-test. So that’s what I’m watching for.

Other Sectors, Indices, International Etc:

Healthcare on watch. Treasuries on watch.

Study:

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).

Review of my Chat Room Stock Day Trades / Alerts for Tuesday Nov 22, 2016. $SKLN, $UCO, $XIV, $USOIL, $WTI, OIL and more.

Intro:

Overview Perspective of Chart Room, Trades and Alerts:

Well, today was the first day I slept in since high school… well maybe not quite that far back. I hadn’t reset my alarm for the new time zone (so I lost 2 hours lol). And worse yet, I missed a crazy good open. But we got in to the swing and had a great day.

Primary Lessons That May Help Your Trades:

The $SKLN trade I took later in the day for a snap-back after the wash-out literally has fifty lessons in it. It was about an hour and a half trade that we recorded the audio and video trade room screen share with charting. So we have started to break up the video in to ten to twelve smaller videos detailing all the indicators, psychology and technicals involved in the trade. I am hoping to have these videos ready for Thursday night. Tonight we are working on publishing the algorithm updates – so depending on how long those take will depend on how long the videos take to come out – but they are, if I may say so gold for learning traders… a really, really technical trade with lots of commentary on the minute as the trade progressed.

The other trades on the day were textbook scalps. The one main lesson (because I was on top of the momentum stocks – late, but on top of it once in room) – the main lesson beyond the $SKLN lesson filled trade was the $USOIL $WTI wash-out on OPEC news before pit close – but that lesson also is on (included as a part) of the $SKLN trade because that was happening at the same time in the trading room today.

Announcements in Trading Room:

Nov 2016

Review of my Chat Room Stock Day Trades / Alerts for Thursday Nov 17, 2016. Low Float Shippers China, $SCON $BNSO, $DHRM, $ISNS, $UWTI, OIL, and more.

Intro:

Overview Perspective of Chart Room, Trades and Alerts:

Today for me was a scalping day… worked moderately well. With a goal of 1% minimum per day (preferably 3%) I’m easily on track since the beta start of our trading room a couple weeks back (1% per day 10k to 1.14MM in 26 mos compounded).

Primary lessons I learned that may help your trades…

Today wasn’t exciting… it was a process of me chewing around the edges of crude trades with $UWTI (which by the way is being delisted soon – see premarket report coming up). I was likely up 1% or better – haven’t had the time to see yet.

The reason I chew around the edges is that I am looking for a break-out entry scalping with my small account looking to build it at 1% a day compound and if a break-out occurs then I start hammering down with my larger swing account on every pull-back. Pretty simple strategy that works well. With oil, the break-out I’m looking for is due to not only the current OPEC meetings but also in the charting.

But soon, very soon we’re looking at Gold and Silver because the are getting really close to our algorithm’s projected lows. So I will start chewing around the edges of $GOLD $SILVER and miners $GDX. Right now $DXY is in break-out mode so I may trade $UUP on pull-backs for a bit (however we see it trailing off soon) – it’s an inflection point in markets – so it is about being cautious during inflection prior to next trends. Japan is also in break-out so I may start chewing around edges of $DBJP also and of course the S & P 500 $XIV same thing. $VIX is getting stomped as expected but inflection will come there too.

What I did miss was the shippers (was all over them before they started but elected not to play) and China low float stocks have started (was also all over that ahead of curve and I’m thinking on it) and semi conductors I didn’t play.

Post Market Wed Nov 16 $DRYS, $LEI, #OIL, $UWTI and more.

Post Market Report (Trade Results) $DRYS, $LEI, Oil, UWTI Curt Melonopoly

Review of my Chat Room Stock Day Trades / Alerts for Wednesday Nov 16, 2016. $UWTI, OIL, $DSX, $SHIP, $DRYS and more.

Intro:

Overview Perspective of Chart Room, Trades and Alerts:

Primary lessons I learned that may help your trades…

So the trade I got in before the system crash mid day setting off our room to next day was $UWTI in advance of the pit close… I entered I little earlier in the day than I normally would but thought there may be some front running so I did. The trade that I missed was the 10:30 AM oil report trade – normally at the bottom of that spike down I would get an entry in $UWTI and for whatever reason I didn’t trigger and missed it.

With the shippers I thought it was too late to get on the train so I watched. Volatile plays like that don’t fit my trading plan so I just didn’t take an entry. Also $LEI was on my watchlist (low float oil) and I didn’t take that play either.

I also just published a new blog post on the math of 10,000.00 turns in to 1 million after 24 months at 1% compound per day.

FX: $USOIL $WTI Crude oil trade today using $UWTI as the instrument for a 2.5% portfolio gain on small account.

11:43 am Curtis M : Long $UWTI 1000 shares 19.307 small account. I took the trade here because crude had pulled back after its morning spike (post oil report) to a diagonal support line (blue) and the volume was increasing on 3 mins prior. The problem was the price came off after that again and I had to hold through it. Which is a lesson because the price pull-back should be at least one step more than it otherwise would be in an uptrend. So it made sense that I was one support too early in my entry.

On the one hand I was confident in the hold because of the upcoming oil meetings, pit close was still on deck, and the price had come off to a support. What I wasn’t comfortable with is that oil hasn’t been trading aggressively (bouncing) at supports and has been selling off in to strength more than it would be in a confirmed break-out. So it was mentally a tough trade.

Exit on my $UWTI trade base on $USOIL $WTI right near top of the candle. Decent exit.

12:32 pm Curtis M : 19.805 exit 1000 shares $UWTI small account. So my exit was much cleaner than my entry and for sure much cleaner than my emotional hold process. I wanted to hold to the resistance line above where I did exit at 2.5% gain and it would have been 3% or better but I knew that the market was selling in to strength so I picked a resistance line prior to the obvious one when the price spiked – it was a perfect exit on the intra for sure.

My Stock Trading Plan for Wednesday November 16, 2016 in Chatroom.

Welcome to the Wednesday Wall Street trading session!

Algo work – As of this Monday our new equipment will be up and running full steam so I’ve scheduled next week in the room (when market is quiet) for algo work – I was going to start this week, and did a tad… but quickly realized all the machines need to be tied in for that.

Market Outlook – So yesterday the market inflection point started and continued over night and so the next few days will be interesting – there are battles in every corner… we’ll see. So I’ve started to chew around the edges of the inflection with instruments like $GDX but nothing is where you can really bite down on and go with yet. Obviously there’s anomolies like the shippers of late – but that’s intra anomoly plays I’m not really interested in but won’t disregard – and I know they’re all buying Lamborghinis today… I know. Oh and oil got up over important resistance during trade yesterday but lost it overnight so I’m looking for the 200 day on the 1 hour as possible long entry.

Rate Hike?

Things that make you go hmmm…

Baltic Dry. Reminds me of last year and the shippers and the USD and then Jan… right… January that was fun. pic.twitter.com/UXWr7HPDnq

Momentum Stocks (Market Open and Intra-Day)

I do trade morning momo stocks (at times), but I do avoid risk. Just prior to open and shortly after open I post momentum stocks to the trade chat room (and Twitter if I have time).

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

Pre-market Decliners Watch-List: $LOW Will Update Before Market Open or Refer to Chat Room

Pre-Market Gainers Watch-List: $SINO $OPTT $CRDS $CLLS $TOUR $SHIP $LPL $ESEA $TOPS $GOGL $NTNX $TGT $DCIX $YRD $SDRL Will Update Before Market Open or Refer to Chat Room

Other Watch-List(s): Inflection points with currencies $USD/$JPY $FXY, Financials $FAZ, Indices $IWM $RWM $TZA and more. Volatility $TVIX $UVXY

Other Watch-List(s): Shippers: $DRYS $EGLE $SHIP $SINO $TOPS $GNRT Oil: $CRC, $EPE, $WLL, $RES, $JONE, $AREX, $REN, $CLR, $HP, $ATW, $SGY Financials: $FAZ

Regular Watch-List: Gold $GLD, Miners $GDX ($NUGT, $DUST, $JDST, $JNUG), Silver $SLV ($USLV, $DSLV), Crude Oil FX: $USOIL $WTI ($UWTI, $DWTI, $USO, $UCO, $CL_F), Natural Gas ($UGAZ, $DGAZ), S & P 500 $SPY ($SPXL, $SPXS), US Dollar Index $DXY ($UUP), Volatility $VIX ($TVIX, $UVXY, $XIV)

Stay tuned in Stock Chat Room for more pre-market stocks on watch.

Regular Trades:

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

My bias is still to all time highs – although it has struggled some and with this inflection point – it’s a wait and see – we may see a pullback here first. The US Dollar is going to cause issues IMO as will other global market / credit / bond and small cap issues and more over the horizon. In that, I see a run in Gold and Silver soon then a pull back and then a big run.

My trading plan with $SPY: I expect volatility could get some lift here at market inflection and then get crushed and I will likely follow that trend with $TVIX $UVXY $XIV buys at range pivots / pending price action, volume and other geo events.

Volatility $VIX ($TVIX, $UVXY, $XIV)

I am still expecting it to get crushed – but it will likely get some lift here with the market inflection and short term pull back I’m seeing short term in indices etc.

My trading plan for $VIX is obviously $TVIX $UVXY $XIV day trade snipes.

$DXY US Dollar Index ($UUP US Dollar Bull, $UDN British Pound, $USD/JPY, $FXY Japanese Yen Trust, $CNY China, $TZA, $SMK / $EWW Mexico Capped ETF)

The US Dollar continues its rally at time of writing. I expect it to continue in its symmetry relative to last year before Christmas also. Anyway, my Twitter feed had me posting this run since early July. It should at least take a breather here. It is .2 cents off my price target.

May call from October 12, 2016 – Price Target Hit

$DXY US Dollar Index looks nasty – last time it had the 9 20 50 100 under it we seen 100.50 #justsaying pic.twitter.com/01WOx6mdWD

Aug 3, 2016 I was tell the $DXY bulls they were going to have a good Christmas (our algo was launched in – house at that point and was hitting like mad – I was being a little cheeky).

My socially awkward call on the $DXY US Dollare back Aug 3 – I was just telling the US Dollar bulls it would be a good Christmas. https://t.co/AehSESFa3l

US Dollar Index. We were here last year near this time. Will it rip right through that ceiling or ? pic.twitter.com/hzw4PqpEve

I am also watching the Peso and Trump’s messaging… also watching $FXY and $USD/$JPY for clues with Gold and Miner’s.

$USD/JPY

$FXY – I may wait for closer to that yellow line for $GDX and $NUGT etc #GOLD pic.twitter.com/tZxhNhT1HR

$TZA could get a bounce.

$TZA 3x Small Cap Bear – since election perspective. Will it the bear get up off the floor? When it does, it may just hurt. pic.twitter.com/JhBQ7ijTfc

— Curtis Melonopoly (@curtmelonopoly) November 16, 2016

My trading plan with $DXY is that I’m sitting tight. WHEN IT DOES reach it’s full symmetrical extension I will look at plays for the downside. If $USD/$JPY comes off some I may look at Miner’s and I’m expecting Russell 2000 to come off a bit – BUT YOU NEVER KNOW.

Gold $GLD, Miners $GDX ($NUGT, $DUST, $JDST, $JNUG)

My plan with Gold and the miners remains the same – patience. I have started to chew around the edges with tight trades but nothing yet. Watching $USD/$JPY close and $DXY and $FXY for clues on Gold and miners movements.

Gold. Patience for the one floor down buy. pic.twitter.com/juTYkYXfKc

— Curtis Melonopoly (@curtmelonopoly) November 16, 2016

My trading plan with Gold: Wait for the buy trigger to hit. If it doesn’t reassess range then.

Other equities I like for Gold Trade: $AUMN (penny stock)

Silver $SLV ($USLV, $DSLV)

As with Gold I’m awaiting buy trigger on Silver… I did try and take a $USLV trade on Monday as a tester but stopped out so I’ll continue to watch.

Silver. Looking like I will get my 16.25 wish. pic.twitter.com/Dctulr3Fvp

Other equities I like for Silver trade: $AUMN (penny stock)

Crude Oil FX: $USOIL $WTI ($UWTI, $DWTI, $USO, $UCO, $CL_F)

4:33 AM Update: EPIC the OIL Algo Blog Post Published.

If you are trading oil in the room be sure to always check EPIC the Oil Algo Twitter Feed for updates and recent reports etc.

Oil got up over resistance yesterday and lost it overnight (that thick blue line) – so I am hoping for the 200 day on the 1 Hour as a long entry.

In summary your trading ranges are as follows (as of 721 AM Nov 16, 2016):

Diagonal intra trend lines: Overhead Resistance 45.54. (change intra with diagonal blue lines).

Horizontal trend lines: Resistance – Many. Support – Many but one of note at 44.56. Refer to chart. (purple lines).

Moving average: Support at 200 MA on the 1 HR. Intra is at 44.51 (this will change intra)

Alpha algo lines: Refer to chart (red dotted diagonal).

Alpha algo targets for week: At time of writing EPIC has not released any updates.

Traditional chart pivots: Next segment of publishing from EPIC coming soon.

Traditional Fibonacci: Next segment of publishing from EPIC coming soon.

My plan trading oil is to take a long position in $UWTI at the 200 day on the 1 hour (pink line on chart) in my small account if the support holds and there is corresponding price action / volume. I will sell in to strength and re-enter as needed and I will sell VERY FAST if support is breached. If oil gets proper lift then I will consider entering in size long with my large swing account.

So it seems to me that if that downdraft continues… that 200 on the 1 hour is a juicy place to hammer down long. #justsaying https://t.co/Ka63DS4Csu

Study:

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 super-nova type plays (you need a good momentum scanner for the first 30 mins of trade)… 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).
