Notices:
As I wrote in the previous, we just came off a blow-out July swing trading performance so I am hoping we repeat that in August.
This report is 1 of 4 weekly (we just split up this report in to two to make the file size more manageable and we have a new group of swing stocks we are covering that will round out a 5th weekly report).
We will categorize our coverage soon as we are following more stocks weekly than we expected when we first started the service.
Also with end of quarter here you can expect a report clean-up and PL statements to be released (we will file in a depository all old reports and PL’s for reference).

When managing your trades with the weekly reports keep in mind that you will have to invest an hour or two a week to check the indicators mentioned for buy and sell triggers. I was asked recently why we do not usually (although we do sometimes) include precise entry and exit points. The reason is simple, they don’t work – those services have terrible results.
Swing trading success, even with a service, does require “some” maintenance on the part of the user, although the new live alert service will take much of that burden off the user as we know many of our users have busy lives. It is the indicators lining up that signal a trade long entry or an exit. In our case rely heavily on MACD on daily or weekly (or Stoch RSI and Moving averages) but indicators we are basing our trade entry and exits on are listed with each trade so any user that does even moderate trade management will know when the indicator(s) have turn with or against the trade.
Intra-week you can always DM myself on Twitter (@curtmelonopoly), visit me on Discord (http://discord.gg/2HRTk6n) or email me ([email protected]) with specific questions regarding trades you are considering for assistance.
It is critical however that you attend to the maintenance of your signals at least once a week if not twice and set stops and preferably alarms so that intra-week you can enter or exit. If nothing else you can always book some coaching time and I’ll assist also (although we are at a point of waiting list for the coaching, at minimum you can get on list or for immediate help as I said please DM or email).
IF WE DON’T GET BACK TO YOU RIGHT AWAY it is usually because we are pressured with deadlines or are trading.

Stock Pick Coverage
$NFLX
Aug 7 – Trading 180.46 after its post earning’s break out. MACD turned down and will wait for it and other indicators to turn up before considering an entry.
July 24 – Closed premarket 188.40 from 158.20. Will watch for a re-enter pending some ER considerations early this week. Sentiment is pensive imo. Could go either way in market – generally speaking.
July 12 – Trading 158.20. Will watch here over its 50 ma and if 20 ma is about to breach 50 with price above and other indicators line up I will alert an add.
July 5 – Trading 146.17. Long from 159.35 200 shares on the 26th of June. Unfortunately thats where it turned down and now MACD is near bottom. 200 MA however is at 135.35 and that is possible. Understand that when I take an entry it is normally no more than 1/5 sizing until a trade proves itself out so I can usually take the down draft if required.
June 26 – Trading 158.33.
$NFLX pull back may be over MACD could cross up with SQZMOM and Stoch RSI trend up.On watch and I may take a long entry in premarket today.
June 18 – Trading 152.38. $NFLX They say exit timing is as important or more so than the entry. That worked. #swingtrading All indicators trending down now so will wait on the MACD on daily before considering a long position.
June 8 – $NFLX Opened long 148.40 closing in premarket 165.88 range #swingtrading
June 6 – Trading 165.06 from 148.40 entry. All indicators pointing up on weekly and daily but we will likely roll out of this long soon.
May 31 – Trading 163.20. 148.40 entry. Stop set at 158.00 now. If price tests 20 MA on daily but doesn’t take out stop I will add and alert live.
$NFLX swing trade going wll. Trading 163.20 premarket from 148.40 entry. #swingtrading
May 23 – Trading 157.32. Stop set at 153.10 to protect equity. Holding otherwise. MACD turned down on daily and may add if it turns up.
May 17 – $NFLX Swing trade going well. Trading 158.50 from 148.40 entry. SQZMOM may turn down as with MACD and Stoch RSI truned down may exit soon and re-enter when indicators turn back up.
May 9 – $NFLX Swing trade going well. Long at 148.40 trading 156.08. SQZMOM and MACD trending but Stoch RSI may cool soon, vol decent. Will add per below.
$NFLX Live Chart https://www.tradingview.com/chart/NFLX/rjcjiVBz-NFLX-Swing-trade-going-well-Long-at-148-40-trading-156-08-SQ/
May 3 – April 25 148.40 Long 500 shares April 25 when MACD turned up per below. Trading 156.28. MACD trending up, SQZMOM trending up and Stoch RSI at top and may come off short term – so a short term turn down is possible here. Will likely re-add when STOCH RSI comes off and turns back up as long as MACD is trending up still and has room to top.
April 24 – Trading 142.87. Watching.
April 19 – Trading 143.75 – waiting for MACD to turn up.
April 10 – We closed flat 145.50. Trading 142.80. Waiting for MACD, Stoch RSI, SQZMOM to turn green for entry long.
April 4 – March 29 we entered 145.50 500 shares when MACD turned up per watch trigger below. Stop is at flat at entry and we will re-enter if we have to. Will look at adding pending triggers – will advise.

March 27 – MACD has been flat or turned down since last post. Looking close at MACD turn up and entry this week.
March 20 – The only thing that concerns me is the price staying above approximately 145.05 as a low on any given day. I may also look for that in addition to indicators lists below. Same thing with this one, exit when MACD turning down. Chances are high I will enter long early week.

$NFLX Daily abover 20 MA Stoch RSI Revved MACD turning up SQZMOM watch close for green. Long on MACD and QZMOM confirmation.
$GSIT
Aug 7 – Trading 7.12 and sitting right on 200 MA with MACD trend down and other indicators poor. Waiting.
July 24 – Trading 8.10 Same.
July 14 – Trading 8.01. Same.
July 5 – Trading 7.83. Indicators are flat. Watching for life.
June 26 – Trading 7.90. Big volume came in on Friday and indicators all look like theyre ready to turn up. On high watch here.
June 18 – Trading 7.82. Indicators turned back down on daily. Watching.
June 9 – Trading 8.68. All indicators turned up daily. On high watch. The issue with this trade is that we are along now a number of legs since price breached the 200 MA on the daily.
$GSIT All indicators turned up on daily. 20 MA thru 50 MACD trending SQZMOM trending Stoch RSI tad high.
$GSIT Live Chart Trade Set-Up With Indicators https://www.tradingview.com/chart/GSIT/wrOpbJRu-GSIT-All-indicators-turned-up-on-daily-20-MA-thru-50-MACD-tren/
June 6 – Trading 8.38. All indicators turning up on daily but waiting and watching.
May 31 – Trading 7.59. Same.
May 23 – Trading 7.99. Watching per below.
May 17 – Trading 7.91. All the indicators are indecisive. Waiting.
May 9 – Trading 7.40. See below.
May 3 – Trading 8.03. MACD pinching. Will enter long when MACD turns up AND be sure price is above moving averages and 20 MA is in fact over 50 MA. 20 50 100 200 all in order with price above in other words. Should be soon.
$GSIT Live chart https://www.tradingview.com/chart/GSIT/MLQDlG9S-GSIT-MACD-pinch-Enter-long-when-MACD-turns-be-sure-price-above/
April 24 – Trading 7.96. Watching.
April 19 – Trading 7.63. MACD still trending down. Waiting for it to turn up.
April 10 – Trading 8.18, Stoch RSI curling up, waiting on MACD to cross up and SQZMOM to turn green for long.
April 4 – $GSIT finally cooling off and coming back to earth. Watching that MACD very close for a turn up (after it returns to bottom hopefully).
Mar 27 – Sure enough, it was on its way to the 20 MA this past week and stopped short and got some lift and closed Friday sitting on 8 ema. Will wait for it to line up.
Mar 20 – The reason I have this on the list is because as a break-out stock it is about as clean as they come, however, break out stocks come with risk. So you have two options (and shorting right now isn’t one), you can either wait for it to get near a 20 MA test and go long when other indicators line up or open a short time-frame chart and trade it. I will be waiting for the 20 MA test.
GSI Technology, Inc. to Present at the Global Predictive Analytics Conference http://finance.yahoo.com/news/gsi-technology-inc-present-global-173705866.html
$GSIT in break-out. Daily Stoch RSI peaking, MACD near peak, SQZMOM near peak. Wait for 20 MA retest and MACD confirm for long.
$AXP – American Express
Aug 7 – Trading 85.77. Trading in trend above ma’s with MACD trending down. Will wait on MACD turn and assess at that time.
July 24 – Trading 85.59.
July 14 – Trading 85.33. Earnings in 5 days. On high watch for after earnings.
July 5 – Trading 85.10. Trading in 52 week break out straight price action with no end in site so I can’t justify an entry, however, if I was managing trades on a minute by minute basis these are good to try and keep a short leash on. Anyway, waiting for a pullback to assess.
June 26 – Trading 82.22. Indicators are starting to cool a bit on daily – waiting for a pull back turn.
June 18 – $AXP Testing 52 week highs near break out stoch RSI peaking MACD trend up and SQZMOM trend up. Bullish. This is a break out play and I may enter a 1/5 size and add at pull back. Watching the 20 MA breaching 50 and 100 ma’s and vol spike. Very bullish.
June 9 – $AXP SQZMOM green MACD up Stoch RSI high Waiting on MA’s to sort out with price above. Vol up. On High Watch.
May 31 – Trading 77.05. Same.
May 23 – Watching. Indicators indecisive.
May 17 – Trading 78. Sitting on 200 MA on weekly. On daily price is under 20 and 50 MA with MACD turned down. Watching.
May 9 – Trading 78.27. Closed 78.74 May 4 when MACD crossed down from 78.01 long. We still like this stock so we are watching close for indicators to turn back up.
May 3 – Trading 79.54. Holding long while MACD trends up and price above entry and 20 MA is above 50 MA. Stoch RSI is coming off so we expect some downward pressure short term.
April 24 – Trading 79.63. Long 78.01 500 shares April 20 when MACD turned up. Watching for MACD, Stoch RSI to remain, and SQZMOM to turn green for possible add.
April 19 – Trading 75.50. MACD getting close to bottom. On watch for MACD cross up.
April 10 – Trading 77.77. Waiting on Stoch RSI to curl up, MACD to cross up and SQZMOM to turn green for long.
April 4 – $AXP American Express. So close. SQZMOM about to turn, MACD cross on deck just need PTPTRR to line up. Need volume & power. #swingtrading $AXP Price Trigger Power Trade Risk Reward – PTPTRR #trading Over the Wall!
March 27 – MACD has turned down and SQZMOM is red and negative but Stoch RSI is starting to curl – waiting for that MACD to take an entry.
March 20 – This is a trend play. The only thing you have to do is manage your entry point and risk. Wait for indicators to confirm next leg up about to start and take long entry. When MACD turns down on daily that is your exit. I really like this one, especially because MA’s are all on right side (aligned) and trend reversal is in place.
$AXP Setting up for next possible leg up. Wait for MACD SQZMOM Stoch RSI to turn up. Will likely test near 100 MA at min 50MA.
$ABX – Barrick Gold
Aug 7 – Trading 16.64. Same.
July 25 – Trading 15.43 same.
July 12 – Trading 15.70 same.
July 5 – Trading 15.61 way under 200 MA. Watching.
June 26 – Trading 16.30 Same. It did hold the 200 MA on weekly and MACD may turn up on weekly here soon.
June 18 – Trading 15.69 Same.
June 9 – Trading 16.64 Same.
May 31 – Trading 16.41. Same.
May 23 – Trading 16.95. Watching.
May 17 – Trading 17.14. On daily MACD is turned up, waiting on results of 20 MA test (happening now). On weekly MACD is turned down and would like to see that crossed up.
May 9 – Trading 16.26. See below.
May 3 – Trading 16.37. Watching. All indicators pointing down.
April 24 – Trading 19.25 watching. Earnings on deck.
April 19 – Trading 19.46. Indicator indecision. Waiting on clarity.
April 10 – Waiting on MACD and Stoch RSI to cross and turn up for long. SQZMOM is green now. Trading 19.09.
April 4 – $ABX Setting up nicely. Above 200 MA, wait for Stoch RSI to return to bottom and turn if possible, be sure SQZMOM green and MACD turns up and kapow. Some volume and power would help too.
March 27 – Very close now. SQZMOM just turned green, MA’s are starting to line up but not all yet, Stoch RSI is turned down at top of range so I would like to see it at bottom when we enter and the MACD is turned up. So we’re waiting for the MA’s to line up and the Stoch RSI to be near or at bottom curling up (ideally).
March 20 – I will enter a long when price above 20 50 100 200 MA’s and will likely wait for the 200 MA to cross 100 MA (although not absolute). Like with all others I will exit when MACD turns down.

Inflation may send Gold higher. http://ir.baystreet.ca/article.aspx?id=528&1489764218
$ABX Daily MACD turning up, Stoch RSI way up, price on 20 MA, SQZMOM needs to confirm, 200 MA 100 MA cross would help with price above.
$TAN
Aug 7 – Trading 21.83. Break-out may be slowing. MACD, Stoch RSI and SQZMOM trending down. Will wait on pullback to an MA that it bounces off with MACD turn and assess.
July 25 – Trading 21.54 and it’s still in break-out.
July 14 – Trading 20.18. The plan was to catch it on its return to an MA and it didn’t get to an MA before it took off again. Watching.
July 5 – Trading 19.96. Breached 200 MA as in chart below and hasn’t returned to test any of the MA’s. At this point I’m waiting for a pullback for test of any MA it bounces off and then long if indicators line up.
June 23 – Trading 19.80.
$TAN Got its 200 MA and price popped w 50 MA about to breach 200 and indicators up. I will wait for that Stoch RSI on daily to bottom and turn and take a long entry.
June 18 – Trading 18.34 MACD has turned down on daily and SQZMOM has also. Watching for a turn. It is also just under 200 MA on daily.
June 9 – $TAN Daily 200 MA popped, 20 MA to breach 200 MA and 50 MA about to breach 100 MA MACD trend up SQZMOM Green on high watch #swingtrading
May 31 – Trading 18.57. Will let this play through a bit before a long – but its getting very close now.
$TAN MACD Turned up on daily and price popped off 50 MA testing 200 MA now. #trading #premarket
May 17 – Trading 18.20. MACD on daily is just barely crossed up and other indicators are still indecisive. Going to let it play out some.
May 23 – Trading 18.18. Watching.
May 17 – Trading 18.20. MACD on daily is just barely crossed up and other indicators are still indecisive. Going to let it play out some.
May 9 – Trading 17.84. Waiting for 20 MA to breach 50 MA now – CLOSE!
May 3 – Trading 17.67. $TAN Watching MACD turned up price over 20 MA SQZMOM green. Need price over 50 MA with 20 MA breach 50 MA.
$TAN Live Chart Link: https://www.tradingview.com/chart/TAN/7JpW1gSP-TAN-Watching-MACD-turned-up-price-over-20-MA-SQZMOM-green-Need/
This is one of those where we are early. In other words the price isn’t above all MA’s yet. So one could take the trade as long as MACD is up and preferably long entry timed when 20 MA is about to breach 50 MA and price is above. But watch out for the 200 MA above.
April 24 – Trading 17.04. Watching.
April 19 – Trading 17.39. This one is getting close. Stoch RSI has to come off and then turn up. SQZMOM is almost green and MACD cross up. When those line up we will take a long position.
April 10 – Trading 17.20, Stoch RSI pinch, MACD pinch. Waiting on Stoch RSI to curl up, MACD to cross up and SQZMOM to confirm green for long.
April 4 – NA
Mar 27 – $TAN chart is now “broken” and price is on its way to the lower pivot around 16.44. All indicators are pointing to down. It closed Friday at 17.29. So we will keenly watch it as it nears the lower pivot and see if the indicators line up for a long trade. If it lost lower pivot we may even consider a short side entry pending indicators.
Mar 20 – Nice reversal play if it turns out. In addition to below watch the 200 MA as resistance if you go long.
$TAN Reversal Play. Daily MACD needs to turn up, Stoch RSI is up, SQZMOM needs to turn up. 100 MA about to cross 50 MA – bullish.
$VRX
Aug 7 – Trading 15.13. Earnings in 1 day. Waiting.
July 23 – Trading 17.54 waiting on ER in 14 days.
July 14 – Trading 17.35 Earnings Aug 8 and over 200 MA. Waiting on MACD.
July 5 – Trading 16.97. So it has gotten some lift since my June 26 on watch however, I haven’t taken an entry as of yet. It breached the 200 and I’m now watching it come off its recent high and it will likely test an MA before bouncing. So it is on watch for the scenario as it is early in 200 MA break out process. On high watch.
June 26 – Trading 15.85.
$VRX 200 MA test. MACD up SQZMOM up. Vol up. On high watch now.
June 18 – Trading 12.66. Same.
June 9 – Trading 13.26 but chart says its not ready.
May 31 – Trading 12.29 Watching.
May 23 – Trading 13.41. Watching.
May 17 – $VRX Early stages of possible bottom bounce. SQMOM green, 20 MA about to breach 50 MA price still under 200 MA, MACD up. We may trade this more as a daytrade . swingtrade until it firms above 200 MA.
May 9 – Trading 9.77. See below.
May 3 – Trading 10.50. MACD is turned up and the SQZMOM has not confirmed green. Earnings in six days so watch for that. The MA’s are exactly like the $TAN scenario above so the same rules apply. We are not entering yet but may at any second. Again it is an early trade because you want price above the 200 MA and 20 MA to breach 20 MA that is perfect timing (with MACD trending up). But many people take these early at this point. Refer to considerations noted above with $TAN also. Same set-up.
April 24 – Trading 8.51 Watching.
April 19 – Trading 8.95. Not ready.
Apr 10 – Waiting on Stoch RSI to curl up, MACD to cross up and SQZMOM to confirm green for long.
April 4 – I thought I’d run a poll on my Twitter feed to help us with this one.
$VRX Premarket is up 1% – Could this be the bottom?
— Melonopoly (@curtmelonopoly) April 4, 2017
$VRX Premarket up 1%. MACD cross flat… is this the bottom?
$VRX Premarket live chart https://www.tradingview.com/chart/VRX/F7bVqHl7-VRX-Premarket-up-1-MACD-cross-flat-could-this-be-bottom/
March 27 – $VRX continues stepping down on the chart… per below, really important to wait for all the indicators to line up. So we remain patient and watch.
March 20 – This was looking like it was going to curl up last week and bounce but it failed. A great example of carefully watching a falling knife indicators before taking a long position. Use patience and when all indicators in play take a long.
$VRX Bottom Play. Daily MACD needs to turn, Stoch RSI turning up, SQZMOM needs to turn then as MA cross-overs occur it will strengthen.
$TWLO
Aug 7 – Trading 29.20. Under 200 MA and 20 MA with MACD trending down. Will wait for MACD to turn up before considering a long position.
July 25 – Trading 30.99 testing 200 MA from underside with ER in 23 days. Very interesting set-up developing here now. On Watch.
July 14 – Trading 28.16 and 200 MA is getting near overhead so it could be ready sometime moderately soon.
July 5 – Trading 28.97. Now indicators pointing down. Not an easy stock to read. Watching.
June 26 – Trading 30.00 in premarket. All indicators are turned up but I just don’t trust the chart without historical. The alert below on June 9 turned out positive I just couldn’t execute.
June 18 – Trading 26.87 With MACD on daily turned up and testing natural resistance. Turns out per below it was a decent short term long. Unsure.
June 9 – Trading 25.49 The indicators on the 60 min say you could go long with a decently strong thesis (not enough chart history for Daily or Weekly chart), however, considering the short history price action I will wait – I think it is accumulating and the chart possibly repairing.
May 31 – Trading 24.48. Watching.
May 23 – Trading 25.00. Watching for bottom bounce to form. MACD up on daily right now.
May 17 – Trading 24.53. Waiting on MACD turn cross up on daily before anything.
May 9 – Trading 23.50. See below. Not ready.
May 3 – Trading 23.70. Closed 33.57 1000 shares before earnings on a 29.60 buy. Never hold through earnings unless you are unusually confident (yes we did recently with $GOOGL and $AMZN but very unusual for us to do that). Anyway, watching now. Downdraft was intense from forward guidance.
April 24 – Trading 30.82. Holding 1000 shares 29.60.
April 19 – Trading 30.51. April 12 MACD turned up opened long 29.60 1000 shares.
April 10 – Trading 28.40. Stoch RSI curling up, waiting on MACD cross and SQZMOM to turn green for long.
April 4 – No change.
March 27 – Price failed when it had to poke through 100 MA and continue – it failed and is on its way (possibly) to the previous low. So here, as with $VRX we employ patience – but get ready because the long in this one will be decent. Use the indicators noted below.
March 20 – Looks like bottom may be in. It is trending up. Looking for 100 MA to cross down under 20 MA (pinching now) and price to trade above 20 MA for long. Be sure to wait for MACD to confirm also first.
$TWLO Bottom Play on Watch. 100 MA needs to cross 20 MA with price over them. Stoch RSI pinch, MACD pinch, SQMOM turning up not green.
$WYNN
Aug 7 – Trading 127.60. MACD trending down. Watching.
July 25 – Trading 138.53 testing highs. Looks like it’s going to break higher (high probability anyway). On watch now for confirmation and power.
July 5 – Trading 131.01. Indicators all pointing down. Waiting for a turn to assess.
June 26 – Trading 138.30. $WYNN just got its 200 MA on weekly. Stoch RSI on weekly is crossed down with other indicators a buy. Will wait for Stoch RSI to cross up before assessing a long.
June 9 – Trading 134.73. MACD turned up on 7th and it got the pop we were thinking would come. Watching for follow through and possible long today. On high watch also.
May 31 – Trading 126.30 Watching for MACD to turn up.
May 23 – Trading 125.11. Watching for set up.
May 17 – Trading 126.91 coming up on underside of 200 MA test on weekly. MACD on daily is about to cross up. Will wait for MACD on daily and assess.
May 9 – Stopped flat on May 5, 2017. Watching SQZMOM, Stoch RSI, MACD, volume indicators now for a turn.
May 3 – Trading 125.55. Long 122.56 April 25 when MACD turned up (per below) and watching for continuation in MACD and price. Will exit if MACD turns down or price hits our entry. We may even add. It looks good.
April 24 – Trading 114.89. Watching.
April 19 – Trading 115.95. MACD trending down. Waiting for bottom and turn up. It has a ways to go.
April 10 – Closed 500 shares Friday 117.20. Trading 116.50. Watching MACD, Stoch RSI, SQZMOM for reset at bottom and turn for re-entry.
April 4 – We triggered a stop at flat March 27 and had a re-entry at 111.04 when we looked at it again for 500 shares. Currently trading at 116.00 and we are watching MACD. Which is currently at top. We may exit as MACD turns down and re-enter when MACD turns back up. Alternatively we may ride the MACD turn down as long as our original entry isn’t triggered as stop and when MACD turns back up add to position. Both are valid and we are undecided.
March 26 – We took a long position at 110.93 for 500 share start on March 21. HOWEVER, we have a stop at our entry price (due to current market sentiment) and it is currently trading at 111.92. Careful with this one.
March 20 – This isn’t easy to swing but is so hot it would be foolish to ignore, so discipline like with so many other plays in the current market is required. Seeing it hold 110.00 for a full day with indicators in line would put me in a long position.
$WYNN 200 MA needs to cross 100 MA, trade over 110 full day. Stoch RSI peaking, MACD up, SQMOM up.
$XME

April 10 – Trading 30.84 holding. Long at 30.59. Tight stop.
April 5 – We opened a tight long position (so stop will be tight because you can always re-enter and metals charts still have to confirm so we are a tad early here) long 30.59 500 shares will add if it confirms and will cut bait if it comes off at most 2% and re-enter. Indicators look good BUT we are early. Use caution until metals etc confirm.

March 27 – Price action has been poor since last report, the 200 MA is just below price now so we are going to see if the indicators line up for a bounce long position.
March 20 – MACD is pinching and about to turn up, also waiting for price above 20 MA. This is a great looking chart and an argument could be made that a long position before everything lines up as I noted is sound. It’s a great looking chart because MACD is bottom (for clarity), so when it turns if all other indicators look good there should be room for a decent trade. Caution should be noted that now after having gone through a number of charts this evening the market is at a decision so any swing trades should be considered at length and stops should be tight IMO.
$XME Daily MACD pinching, SQZMOM starting to turn, Stoch RSI peaking, Price needs 20 MA

March 27 – Almost a replay from last week (the indicators), so we remain patient and watch.
March 20 – Like so many of the charts this week, there is indecision. However, if the indicators line up this has excellent upside potential. The MACD pinching at the bottom is key IMO.

March 27 – The 50 has crossed the 100 and the 20 the 200 to downside – this is very bearish in the near term. Watching. It does qualify as a short and best when MACD at top turning down and Stoch RSI at top turning down with confirmation of price action and MA’s.

March 20 – MACD is pinching on the turn back up – waiting for it to turn up and 45.50 to hold for one day to confirm break out. Or, on downdraft I would look at a 100 MA long entry also.
