Weekly Swing Trading Stocks Thurs June 9 $TAN, $GSIT, $AXP, $WYNN, $DXY, $UUP, $NFLX, $LIT, $BABA …
Welcome to the Compound Trading Weekly Swing Trading Stocks for the Week of June 5, 2017. $TAN, $GSIT, $AXP, $WYNN, $DXY, $UUP, $NFLX, $LIT, $BABA … and more.
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:
Important Service Upgrade Notice: To receive alerts be sure we have your email and you have followed our Twitter alert service at @SwingAlerts_CT. I know many have expressed interest in the email only, but the Twitter option is available going forward for those that prefer that. Please bear with us for a few days as we integrate and orientate ourselves to this new function in our daily routines.
This report is 2 of 3 reports weekly. Picked up where we left off below.
You can expect the third report within in 48 hours of this report.
We will categorize our coverage soon as we are following more than we expected when we first started the service..
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 or email with specific questions regarding trades you are considering for assistance. But it is critical 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.

https://twitter.com/SwingAlerts_CT/status/872178801580494848
June 6 – $MXIM Trading 48.51. Holding from 46.94 BUT will likely be rolling out of this and closing it because Stoch RSI and MACD are near peak on weekly and we will be looking at rolling out of many long positions over next two weeks for end of quarter reassessment.

$ATHM – AutoHome
June 6 – Trading 40.86. Looks like we picked a decent exit. BUT the 50 MA is close to breaching the 100 MA on weekly so it is on high watch.
May 30 – Closing $ATHM swing trade in 42.11 range premarket from 40.22 entry.

$BWA – BorgWarner
June 6 – $BWA Trading 44.31. Got its pop. Price above MA’s on Daily. Stoch RSI near top, MACD trending up and SQZMOM green. Looks good but will likely wait for the 50 MA to breach 100 MA to upside on Weekly. But it is set up. WARNING to 200 MA resistance at 48.11 on weekly if you do enter.

$BABA – Alibaba
June 6 – Trading 125.20. Didn’t get our pull back and we’re paying. BUT SQZMOM just slightly turned down on weekly now so maybe we’ll get that pullback yet.
May 31 – Trading 123.60. Watching for a pull back.
May 23 – Trading 125.10. Well we got the pullback around earnings and missed it. Hopefully some members got it. It’s trading at near ATH’s right now in premarket.

April 24 – Watching.
April 19 – Closed 111.40 at target from 104.64 cost avg 500 shares. Will allow MACD to return to bottom for re-entry.
April 10 – Hit 110.45, very near our 111.40 target. Holding, trading 109.34. Long 104.64.
April 4 – Holding long 500 shares from 104.64 now trading 108.17. It is testing all time highs and we may add on a break of all time highs. If it pulls back we may cut for a small profit. First price target is 111.40 (see below)
$BABA Live chart with indicators including that SQZMOM indicator – sweeet tool! https://www.tradingview.com/chart/BABA/Lbao9BVu-BABA-Swing-Trade-going-well-Our-Swing-Trading-side-is-in-at-10/

March 27 – We’re long 104.64 500 shares March 22 at test of 20 MA. Stop is at our entry and we are looking for a fresh break-out. However, the market sentiment is not great right now so we are unsure. There is an upside pivot at 111.38 we are watching for resistance should price continue up. Also watching MACD close.
March 20 – Wait for MACD to turn up and confirm and stay long until MACD turns down. The Stoch RSI seems to be frontrunning the MACD fyi. $BABA is one of my favorites right now and I see a long entry early in the week.

$NFLX
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.

$GSIT
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.

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
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
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.
Freeport a better buy? https://www.fool.com/investing/2017/03/18/better-buy-freeport-mcmoran-inc-vs-barrick-gold.aspx
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
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
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.

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
June 9 – Trading 25.49 The indicators on the 60 min say you could go long with a decently strong thesis (not enough hart 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
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
June 9 – Trading 30.20. Interesting – all indicators are a go except ma’s yet – so its on watch here now.
May 30 – Trading 29.25. Watching.
May 23 – Trading 29.23. Watching.
May 17 – Trading 29.32 MACD on weekly is down and price on Daily is under MA’s. Waiting on 20 MA to cross up and price to be above.
May 9 – Trading 28.73. See below.
May 3 – Trading 29.71. Watching for MACD to turn up. Currently pinched.
April 24 – Trading 29.79. Watching.
April 19 – Trading 29.48. Close flat 30.59 on the 12th. Testing 200 MA now. Watching for Stoch RSI to turn up, MACD to turn up and SQZMOM to turn green for long.
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.
$XME Live trading chart with indicators listed. https://www.tradingview.com/chart/XME/lkPWMXSp-XME-Metals-and-Mining-ETF-Above-21-ema-8-ema-20-MA-200-MA-MACD/ #swingtrading
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
$URRE
June 9 – Trading 1.55 Watching.
Mar 23 – Trading 1.50 Watching.
May 17 – Trading 1.56. Watching.
May 9 – Trading 1.57. Waiting on MACD, SQZMOM to turn up, price to be above 20 MA and 20 MA to breach 50 MA. It is a ways away.
May 3 – Trading 1.68. Watching.
April 24 – Trading 1.84. Watching.
April 19 – Trading 1.94. Watching. Indicator indecision.
Apr 10 – No change.
April 5 – $URRE isn’t as close to a buy as $XME above, HOWEVER, the SQZMOM did signal green today and the MACD is slightly turning up! So it is on HIGH WATCH now!
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.
$URRE Daily MACD pinching at bottom, Stoch RSI turn up, SQZMOM needs green, price needs 20 MA.
Others on watch but not ready to report charting:

April 24 – Trading 11.24. Watching.
April 19 – Watching.
Apr 10 – No Change. Trading 12.50.
April 5, 2017 – $RIG Sooo close. MACD up, SQZMOM about to turn GR, wedged, needs increasing volume and break-out confirmation for a long.
March 27 – It is holding its 200 MA like a trooper, but I want to see it at least be over 20 MA and other indicators to line up.

April 10 – No change.
April 5 – $XLE chart is very similar to $RIG and others in this space, HOWEVER, it is still under 200 MA. On watch for break of 200 MA.
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 pinching, watching for it to turn up, Needs 200 day and to trade above 20 MA for long or it becomes a short.

April 10 – No change. Trading 39.90.
April 5 – $SLX On watch for SQZMOM to turn green and MACD to turn up. Close.
March 27 – As with $XLE above this also qualifies as a short (pending short term indicators lining up when you take the position). Price lost the 100 MA and the indicators are negative – very bearish. Watching.
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.

Weekly Swing Trading Stocks Tues June 6 $Gold, $MXIM, $BWA, $ATHM, $LIT, $BABA, $NFLX, $TAN, $BA, $WYNN …
Welcome to the Compound Trading Weekly Swing Trading Stocks for the Week of June 5, 2017. $Gold, $XAUUSD, $MXIM, $LIT, $ATHM, $NFLX, $TAN, $BA, $BWA, $BABA, $WYNN … and more.
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:
Important Service Upgrade Notice: To receive alerts be sure we have your email and you have followed our Twitter alert service at @SwingAlerts_CT. I know many have expressed interest in the email only, but the Twitter option is available going forward for those that prefer that. Please bear with us for a few days as we integrate and orientate ourselves to this new function in our daily routines.
This report is 2 of 3 reports weekly. It is not complete – the incomplete entries below will be done in next 48 hours at most.
You can expect the third report within in 48 hours of this report.
We will categorize our coverage soon as we are following more than we expected when we first started the service..
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 or email with specific questions regarding trades you are considering for assistance. But it is critical 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.

$MXIM – MAXIM Integrated Products
June 6 – $MXIM Trading 48.51. Holding from 46.94 BUT will likely be rolling out of this and closing it because Stoch RSI and MACD are near peak on weekly and we will be looking at rolling out of many long positions over next two weeks for end of quarter reassessment.
May 31 – Trading 47.70 holding.
$MXIM This swing trade going better now – took some pain in beginning on my break-out #powertrade thesis. #swingtrading

$ATHM – AutoHome
June 6 – Trading 40.86. Looks like we picked a decent exit. BUT the 50 MA is close to breaching the 100 MA on weekly so it is on high watch.
May 30 – Closing $ATHM swing trade in 42.11 range premarket from 40.22 entry.
https://twitter.com/SwingAlerts_CT/status/869828281817645056

May 9 – Every indicator is flashing a buy, except earnings are on deck and 20 MA has to breach 50 MA and we’re long.
$BWA – BorgWarner
June 6 – $BWA Trading 44.31. Got its pop. Price above MA’s on Daily. Stoch RSI near top, MACD trending up and SQZMOM green. Looks good but will likely wait for the 50 MA to breach 100 MA to upside on Weekly. But it is set up. WARNING to 200 MA resistance at 48.11 on weekly if you do enter.
May 30 – Trading 42.19. Still indecisive indicators. Watching.

$LIT – Global Lithium

$BA – Boeing

$BABA – Alibaba
June 6 – Trading 125.20. Didn’t get our pull back and we’re paying. BUT SQZMOM just slightly turned down on weekly now so maybe we’ll get that pullback yet.
May 31 – Trading 123.60. Watching for a pull back.
May 23 – Trading 125.10. Well we got the pullback around earnings and missed it. Hopefully some members got it. It’s trading at near ATH’s right now in premarket.

May 8 – Trading 117.20. Same as below. Earnings nine days away also.
May 3 – Watching for it to cool off. Unfortunately we did miss some of the move. Waiting for MACD to trend down and catch it on its next turn up.
April 24 – Watching.
April 19 – Closed 111.40 at target from 104.64 cost avg 500 shares. Will allow MACD to return to bottom for re-entry.

April 4 – Holding long 500 shares from 104.64 now trading 108.17. It is testing all time highs and we may add on a break of all time highs. If it pulls back we may cut for a small profit. First price target is 111.40 (see below)
$BABA Live chart with indicators including that SQZMOM indicator – sweeet tool! https://www.tradingview.com/chart/BABA/Lbao9BVu-BABA-Swing-Trade-going-well-Our-Swing-Trading-side-is-in-at-10/

March 27 – We’re long 104.64 500 shares March 22 at test of 20 MA. Stop is at our entry and we are looking for a fresh break-out. However, the market sentiment is not great right now so we are unsure. There is an upside pivot at 111.38 we are watching for resistance should price continue up. Also watching MACD close.
March 20 – Wait for MACD to turn up and confirm and stay long until MACD turns down. The Stoch RSI seems to be frontrunning the MACD fyi. $BABA is one of my favorites right now and I see a long entry early in the week.

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.

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
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
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
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.

$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
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
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
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
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
May 30 – Trading 29.25. Watching.
May 23 – Trading 29.23. Watching.
May 17 – Trading 29.32 MACD on weekly is down and price on Daily is under MA’s. Waiting on 20 MA to cross up and price to be above.
May 9 – Trading 28.73. See below.
May 3 – Trading 29.71. Watching for MACD to turn up. Currently pinched.
April 24 – Trading 29.79. Watching.
April 19 – Trading 29.48. Close flat 30.59 on the 12th. Testing 200 MA now. Watching for Stoch RSI to turn up, MACD to turn up and SQZMOM to turn green for long.
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.
$XME Live trading chart with indicators listed. https://www.tradingview.com/chart/XME/lkPWMXSp-XME-Metals-and-Mining-ETF-Above-21-ema-8-ema-20-MA-200-MA-MACD/ #swingtrading
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
$URRE
Mar 23 – Trading 1.50 Watching.
May 17 – Trading 1.56. Watching.
May 9 – Trading 1.57. Waiting on MACD, SQZMOM to turn up, price to be above 20 MA and 20 MA to breach 50 MA. It is a ways away.
May 3 – Trading 1.68. Watching.
April 24 – Trading 1.84. Watching.
April 19 – Trading 1.94. Watching. Indicator indecision.
Apr 10 – No change.
April 5 – $URRE isn’t as close to a buy as $XME above, HOWEVER, the SQZMOM did signal green today and the MACD is slightly turning up! So it is on HIGH WATCH now!
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.
$URRE Daily MACD pinching at bottom, Stoch RSI turn up, SQZMOM needs green, price needs 20 MA.
Others on watch but not ready to report charting:
$RIG
May 23 – Trading 10.51 Watching.
May 17 – Trading 10.69. Watching.

April 24 – Trading 11.24. Watching.
April 19 – Watching.
Apr 10 – No Change. Trading 12.50.
April 5, 2017 – $RIG Sooo close. MACD up, SQZMOM about to turn GR, wedged, needs increasing volume and break-out confirmation for a long.
March 27 – It is holding its 200 MA like a trooper, but I want to see it at least be over 20 MA and other indicators to line up.
March 20 – MACD pinching, watching for it to turn up, Above 200 day but needs to trade above 20 MA for long.

April 10 – No change.
April 5 – $XLE chart is very similar to $RIG and others in this space, HOWEVER, it is still under 200 MA. On watch for break of 200 MA.
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 pinching, watching for it to turn up, Needs 200 day and to trade above 20 MA for long or it becomes a short.

April 10 – No change. Trading 39.90.
April 5 – $SLX On watch for SQZMOM to turn green and MACD to turn up. Close.
March 27 – As with $XLE above this also qualifies as a short (pending short term indicators lining up when you take the position). Price lost the 100 MA and the indicators are negative – very bearish. Watching.
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.
$X – United States Steel Corp.
May 23 – Same
May 17 – Watching as with above.
May 9 – Trading 21.32. As below watching. Indicators are not flashing long at all.

$AKS Live Chart – https://www.tradingview.com/chart/AKS/BbzvqPhJ-AKS-Swing-trade-position-long-April-7-swingtrading-stock-pic/
April 5 – Sitting right on 200 MA now. Watching for 200 MA to hold, MACD to turn up, SQZMOM to green.
March 27 – AKS is coming in on the 200 MA test. Watching.
March 20 – MACD is turning up now, watching for price to trade above 20, 50, 100 that are clustered together. It is well over 200 MA.

Weekly Swing Trading Updates Mon June 5 $LTBR, $RCL, $JKS, $CTSH, $TSLA, $NVO, $FEYE, $PCRX, $AGN, $IBB …
Good Morning Swing Traders and Welcome to the Compound Trading Weekly Swing Trading updates (1 of 3 this week) for the Week of June 5, 2017. $LTBR, $RCL, $JKS, $CTSH, $TSLA, $FEYE, $PCRX, $PBR, $NVO, $EWZ, $AGN, $IBB and more …
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:
Good morning!
Twitter alert service at @SwingAlerts_CT. I know many have expressed interest in the email only, but the Twitter option is available going forward for those that prefer that. Please bear with us as we integrate and orientate ourselves to this new function in our daily routines.
This report (1 of 3) focuses on the more recent stocks we have added to our swing trading set-up coverage. They include; $TSLA, $SNAP, $VGX, $AAU, $AMMJ, $AGN, $CTSH, $IBB, $FEYE, $LACDF, $PCRX, $PBR, $EWZ , $JKS. $RCL and new on coverage is $LTBR.
We are going to categorize our coverage soon because we are following more than we expected when we first started the service..
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 or email with specific questions regarding trades you are considering for assistance. But it is critical 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.

$RCL – Royal Caribbean

May 30 – Royal Caribbean Weekly 50 MA about to breach 100 MA and 52 week high near. Break out trade possible very soon.
$JKS – Jinko Solar
June 5 – Closing trade flat – earnings on deck. Should have closed last week when it hit 22.00 range for a decent swing.
May 30 – $JKS Long hold 18.65 hit 23.14 last Thurs and I almost closed and likely should have (I know some of you did notify me of closing positions) and currently trading 19.03. Earnings in six days stop set at entry.
May 22 – $JKS MACD turned up on daily, unusual volume, SQZMOM turned green and earnings on deck. Short term swing between now and earnings. 500 Long 18.65 in premarket. Small starter.

May 30 – Trading 14.80. Holding 14.40 entry. Stop set at entry now. Did hit 16.26 and should have closed there – or when MACD turned down. Here again a few members notified they closed so congrats on that swing! It does have 50 MA crossing / breaching 200 MA currently on daily so that is actually bullish. So it is indecisive.
May 22 – Trading 14.95. Holding from 14.40. Weekly SQZMOM green and trending up, MACD trending up, 100 MA resistance at 19.58 intra. Daily not as good – MACD possibly turning down, SQZMOM green but turning down but on positive side 50 MA may breach 200 MA to upside. Holding for now.
May 15 – Trading 14.97. May 11 Long 14.40 when 20 MA breached 50 MA (per set-up May 8 below). Stop 13.99. 500 shares. Stoch RSI is on its way down and we’re watching closely. Did not get the pop we wanted – a tad concerned. Caution warranted.

May 15 – Trading 317.58. Still looking for a better pull-back entry.

April 13, 2017 – We decided to add $SNAP to our coverage because some of our clients have asked us to cover it, plain and simple. So the challenge is that it does not have the history we like, so we have charted it on hourly for now. This is considered a high risk trade.

Good Morning Swing Traders and Welcome to the Compound Trading Weekly Swing Trading Report (3 of 3) for Week of May 29, 2017. $AMBA, $FSLR, $AAOI, $GOOGL, $AMZN, $CALA, $LITE, $JUNO, $HIIQ, $EOG, $COTY, $GREK …………
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:
Important Service Upgrade Notice: To receive alerts be sure we have your email and you have followed our Twitter alert service at @SwingAlerts_CT. I know many have expressed interest in the email only, but the Twitter option is available going forward for those that prefer that. Please bear with us as we integrate and orientate ourselves to this new function in our daily routines.
This report is part 3 of 3 reports weekly.
We will categorize our coverage soon because we are following more than we expected when we first started the service..
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 or email with specific questions regarding trades you are considering for assistance. But it is critical 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.
A note toward the alerts! Please be aware the sell triggers will often not be alerted live because they are triggered as stops. Every member should have stops on their own trades anyway so it isn’t the closing of a trade that is critically alerted anyway, it is the entry – the stop is your own comfort level of risk.

$AMBA
June 1 – Trading 58.70 lost its 200 MA and indicators all trending down. Watching.
May 25 – $AMBA Weekly set-up looking really bullish. 50 MA breaches 100 MA with price above. Earnings 12 days caution there. #swingtrading
I just about executed a long position just now in anticipation but didn’t. I’ll wait for the cross up on MA’s.
May 18 – $AMBA The 20 MA and price are racing to the 200 MA. And then….
Price will either pop or drop…. watching with keen eyes on this.
May 11 – $AMBA Price above 200MA with 20 MA about to breach 50 MA. Long today likely. There’s a chance I’ll let it retest 200 MA but I doubt it.
$COTY
June 1 – Trading 18.94. Indicators indecisive. Watching.
May 25 – No change.
May 18 – Watching. The 200 MA is coming down on price soon.
May 11 – $COTY On Watch. MACD SQZMOM Stoch RSI Vol all up. 200 MA at 21.08 as res and 20 MA may breach 50MA. If 20 MA breaches 50 MA ad price is above I will go long. This is a whisper brought to us by TraderGirl.
$FSLR – First Solar
June 1 – Trading 38.60. Bullish indicators all around. Waiting on the 20 MA to breach the 50 MA with price above for long.
May 25 – $FSLR Set up is playing out perfect. Price over 200 MA with 20 MA breached. Testing natural horizontal resistance.
May 18 – Same thing. 20 MA coming up underside of 200 MA so we will wait for that to see what happens. The 20 did breach the 50 MA per last report but with market downdraft that ruined that quick.
May 10 – $FSLR 20 MA about to breach 50 MA going long there. Also has price above 200 MA extremely bullish. MACD and SQZMOM trending up.
This one comes to us from our daytrading room from a member by the name of Spiegel. Great find.
$AAOI – Applied Opto Electornics Inc

May 11 – $AAOI Extremely bullish but could be a bit extended. Waiting for 20 MA (light blue) to breach 50 MA and be sure indicators confirm for long.
This one was also referred by Spiegel I do believe.
$HIIQ – Health Ins Innovations
June 1 – Trading 22.35. Another bull. On weekly 100 MA may breach 200 MA and that may be decent break out timing. And on daily 50 MA is about to breach 100 MA and that also could be decent timing.
May 26 – Trading 21.20. Indicators are still bullish but we are waiting for this to play out and take a long on pull back.
May 18 – This is moving to positive in premarket and chart is very bullish. May trade this long today.

Mar 12, 2017 – The Stoch RSI hasn’t cooled, in fact it has heated since last report. Also below is the MACD, it’s near pinching so it may be best to take a short position soon and flip to long when MACD turns to buy signal.

$XRT – SPDR S&P Retail ETF
June 1 – Trading 40.70 MACD trending down on daily but may curl up here. Watching.

May 19 – Trading 40.97.Closed 43.30 May 11 when MACD turned down per below. Currently testing support so we are watching for a reversal.
May 10 – $XRT swing trade going well. Trading 43.79 holding from 41.67.April 10. 200 MA test. 20 MA breach 100 MA w price over 200 MA I will add. #swingtrading This is an example of taking the swing trade early. By early I mean before price is confirmed over 200 MA. If you do this you have to typically manage the trade tighter than otherwise. And watch it at each test of ma’s, especially at the 200 MA test.

Mar 7, 2017 – Watching close for a bounce. Stoch RSI on chart is near bottom so on high watch here.
Feb 27, 2017 – Trading at 43.72 this beat up sector seems to be ripe for a bounce. If we execute a trade on Monday it will be to test the waters and watch the market sentiment day to day – this and price action will determine how long we are in it. An interim target however would be 46.80 and would likely change as the trade progresses.

May 4 – Trading 98.42. $EXP SQZMOM green, MACD turned up good vol, 50 MA support test. #watchlist #swingtrading #premarket
When the MACD turned up recently that was reason enough for an add to our long trade. We did not take the entry and now that we haven’t we are waiting for the price to be above the MA’s (still has to clear 100 MA – blue) and for he 20 MA (light blue) to cross up through the 50 MA (purple – with price above) and then likely a long position.

Feb 27, 2017 – “Eagles Materials Posted Record Revenues, Record Net Earnings and Record Net Earnings per Diluted Share. Its stock grew 60% in 2016 and still looks cheap.”
Eagle Materials is a riskier play than most we will add to our swing portfolio, but our DD on this one has us excited and we likely will take a long position early this week with a target of minimum 10% upside in next 90 days. We will however keep our stop tight.

Feb 27, 2017 – We find the $FIT trade interesting. Although we would never otherwise consider it and if we do enter today a long position it will be looked at as short term, we think there may be opportunity to swing trade it because it should be much lower considering its recent quarter… lower in that we expected a panic that did not occur. This seems bullish, or at minimum a likely “bargain” in our opinion.
$FIT Swing Trade Target 6.99. Trading at 6.15.

April 20 – Trading 857.20. MACD turned up, Stoch RSI turned up. SQZMOM just turned green. Waiting on 20 MA to cross up 50 MA for long.
April 11 – Watching MACD and SQZMOM to turn up for long.
Mar 27 – 863.99 Closed position 200 shares Mar 21 when previous high was lost. On watch for MACD turn.
Mar 19 – Trading at 872.37 holding – looking for dips to possibly add. MACD flat so this is a concern.
Mar 12, 2017 – $GOOGL Swing trade going well. In at 848.91 – holding and adding on dips (will advise). MACD on buy.
Mar 12, 2017 – $GOOGL Quarterly Swing Trading Performance Review. Long Feb 22 848.91 200 Shares. Unrealized gain 2570.00. Hold.
Mar 7, 2017 – Holding long per Feb 22, 2017. Trading at 847.27.
Feb 22, 2017 – We entered a long position starter at 848.91 200 shares. Stops will be managed manually and will be held tight until trade is to upside of current range. Pensive about short term market range.
Feb 21, 2017 – Price is to the topside of the break-out and I will likely enter a long position over the next day or two. Bullish on this stock.
Feb 12, 2017 – We still like the $GOOGL stock / chart. Price recently broke to the upside of the triangle and didn’t hold but is threatening to trade above again at Friday close. We’re watching for an upside break that holds for an entry or a visit to the 200 MA (pink line) for an entry.
Feb 7, 2017 Member Update: We expect a signal from the Trump camp soon (late this week), and if positive, this will be a very strong play – watch close! This needs to be high on your radar going forward!
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.

Amazon $AMZN
June 1 – Trading 998.50. Holding. Stoch RSI on daily near top and looks like it may turn down now. MACD still trending up.
May 24 – Trading 995.00 long from 822.74.
May 19 – Trading 962.50 may add when Stoch RSI on daily turns back up.
May 10 – $AMZN Swing trade going well. Trading 952.45 in 822.74. May add at next pull back. #swingtrading
April 26 – $AMZN Premarket trading 907.04. Swing trade going well. In at 822.74. Stoch RSI revved, MACD mid flat, SQZMOM green. #swingtrading
April 20 – Trading 900.29. Hold per below.
April 11 – Trading 909.40 holding 100 shares from 822.72. When MACD and SQZMOM return to bottom and turn up I will likely add 100 long. Missed an execution on last dip.
Mar 27 – Hold trading at 845.39. Mar 21 lost 20 MA and almost sold but did not. Loss of 20 MA is a concern. Watching for 50 MA failure.
Mar 19 – Trading 852.31 holding. MACD pinching to downside so this is a concern.
Mar 12, 2017 – $AMZN Amazon Swing Trade going well. In at 822.72 trading 852.46. MACD on sell will add when MACD bottoms and turns (will advise).
Mar 12, 2017 – $AMZN Quarterly Swing Trading Performance Review. Long Feb 10 822.72 100 Shares. Unrealized gain 2930.00. Hold.
Mar 7, 2017 – Holding long and may add on dips now. Trading at 846.46.
Feb 21, 2017 – Trading at 839.48 in premarket we’re on the right side of this swing so far. Depending on price action I will look to add at pull backs. Very bullish this stock.
Feb 12, 2017 – Trade Alert! We entered a trade long at a cost average 822.72 for 100 shares as soon as price was upside the 20 MA. This is an aggressive trade (being that we didn’t wait for a pull-back to 50, 100 or 200). We have a tight stop on the trade at 804.00 (just below its recent low (this would be a broken trade in our opinion at that point). So we are hoping this week is a strong week for Amazon. If not our aggressive move will cost us.
Amazon Swing Trading Live Chart: https://www.tradingview.com/chart/AMZN/ZQt7CJMs-AMZN-Amazon-Swing-Trading-Member-Chart/
Feb 7, 2017 Member Alert! We haven’t got a pull back to the 200 day and depending on how tech does with Trump we may or may not, however, in overnight trade (premarket) price is close to the 100 day and I may take a test long position. This is one of our favorite picks so we will be quite aggressive with our attempts to get in at an inflection – so we are thinking sometime in the next few days looks decent.
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.

Feb 21, 2017 – On Feb 16 we closed our position at 23.88.
Feb 12, 2017 – We have been long since late December at 18.32 (1000 shares) and it trades at 21.95 now – will be ratcheting up stops soon, the trade has done well but in the short term we don’t see a lot of upside for entries now, unless trade returns to the 50 day MA.
$JUNO Another Swing Trade Winner. Swing Trade Member Stock Pick is up 20%.
Feb 7, 2017 Member Update: $JUNO since my first entry mid December 2016 has consistently moved in an upward trend, and from that perspective has been a good stock pick. But it hasn’t been excellent like many of my other picks. It does have a gap fill coming soon so if you are long I would ratchet up your stops as you near 22.70 area.

Mar 12, 2017 – $CBMX Quarterly Swing Trading Performance Review. Long Dec 6 2.59. Closed Feb 22 5.01. 10000 Shares. + 24,200.00 P/L 93% gain.
Feb 22, 2017 – We closed our long positions in late trade and extended hours at 5.01 average.
Feb 21, 2017 – It is trading at 3.90 in premarket and recently as high as 4.23. Holding.
Feb 12, 2017 – This stock hasn’t slowed down since our entry at 2.59 (10000 shares) and doesn’t seem to want to return to the trendline support so our swing trade members can get in. It is trading perfectly in our prescribed range (albeit at the top) and closed at 3.90 on Friday – we have a 5.57 PT on it so I don’t if it is best to enter now – I wouldn’t unless it returns to the support line but some of the more aggressive swing trading members may want to consider it. Also, we will be ratcheting stops before earnings and even though earnings are expected to be strong we likely will not hold through earnings (or if we do it will be with tight stops).
$CBMX news – http://finance.yahoo.com/news/cbmx-expect-record-revenue-profit-140000918.html
$CBMX Swing Trade Stock Pick Doing Well up 50% Now.
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.

Feb 21, 2017 – We closed our position last week at 46.04 because sentiment in this sector started to turn. We may look at a re-entry, however, we are waiting for the crude oil resistance test to play out and would like to monitor sentiment.
Feb 12, 2017 – This has been a fantastic swing trade and many of our members have profited from it. We are holding and have moved up stops to a 5% drop.
It is currently trading at 45.70 and is up considerably for our members – our 2017 price target was 49.58 and our short term price targets were easily met.
It is also currently trading just above its 200 MA so we are watching close – if it loses the 200 MA we will exit likely. So if you are thinking of adding or a long trade here you want to watch the 200 MA.

Holding full position and expect a return of 6% approximately (from today’s price) in 2017. If I can get a pullback I will be very happy.

Feb 7, 2017 Member Alert! We never did get that pull back, and I appreciate the notes from members that have done well with this swing nonetheless! However, caution is warranted entering this play with-out a pull-back.
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.

April 11 – $TRCH Interesting premarket here also. Holding from 1.50 so not underwater now but #oil is getting really close to a YUGE wall Setting stop at entry likely.
March 27 – Same. Hold. Will add at bottom of MACD turn and other indicators turn.
March 19 – Trading 1.41 holding.
Mar 12, 2017 – Holding position. MACD turned down and will add when MACD turns up. Holding 2000 at 1.50 trading at 1.36. Near the stop loss area but for myself this is a conviction trade based on Trump and this specific company. It is also a relatively small position.
Mar 7 2017 – Holding.
Feb 21, 2017 – Holding, watching for possible add.

Weekly Swing Trading Stocks Wed May 31 $MXIM, $LIT, $ATHM, $NFLX, $TAN, $BA, $BWA, $BABA, $WYNN …
Welcome to the Compound Trading Weekly Swing Trading Stocks for the Week of May 29, 2017. $MXIM, $LIT, $ATHM, $NFLX, $TAN, $BA, $BWA, $BABA, $WYNN … and more.
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:
Important Service Upgrade Notice: To receive alerts be sure we have your email and you have followed our Twitter alert service at @SwingAlerts_CT. I know many have expressed interest in the email only, but the Twitter option is available going forward for those that prefer that. Please bear with us for a few days as we integrate and orientate ourselves to this new function in our daily routines.
This report is 2 of 3 reports weekly.
You can expect the third report within in 48 hours of this report.
We will categorize our coverage soon because we are following more than we expected when we first started the service..
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 or email with specific questions regarding trades you are considering for assistance. But it is critical 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.

March 27 – We’re long 104.64 500 shares March 22 at test of 20 MA. Stop is at our entry and we are looking for a fresh break-out. However, the market sentiment is not great right now so we are unsure. There is an upside pivot at 111.38 we are watching for resistance should price continue up. Also watching MACD close.
March 20 – Wait for MACD to turn up and confirm and stay long until MACD turns down. The Stoch RSI seems to be frontrunning the MACD fyi. $BABA is one of my favorites right now and I see a long entry early in the week.

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.

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.

$GSIT
May 31 – Trading 5.59. 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.

$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
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
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.
Freeport a better buy? https://www.fool.com/investing/2017/03/18/better-buy-freeport-mcmoran-inc-vs-barrick-gold.aspx
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
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
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
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
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
May 30 – Trading 29.25. Watching.
May 23 – Trading 29.23. Watching.
May 17 – Trading 29.32 MACD on weekly is down and price on Daily is under MA’s. Waiting on 20 MA to cross up and price to be above.
May 9 – Trading 28.73. See below.
May 3 – Trading 29.71. Watching for MACD to turn up. Currently pinched.
April 24 – Trading 29.79. Watching.
April 19 – Trading 29.48. Close flat 30.59 on the 12th. Testing 200 MA now. Watching for Stoch RSI to turn up, MACD to turn up and SQZMOM to turn green for long.
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.
$XME Live trading chart with indicators listed. https://www.tradingview.com/chart/XME/lkPWMXSp-XME-Metals-and-Mining-ETF-Above-21-ema-8-ema-20-MA-200-MA-MACD/ #swingtrading
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
$URRE
Mar 23 – Trading 1.50 Watching.
May 17 – Trading 1.56. Watching.
May 9 – Trading 1.57. Waiting on MACD, SQZMOM to turn up, price to be above 20 MA and 20 MA to breach 50 MA. It is a ways away.
May 3 – Trading 1.68. Watching.
April 24 – Trading 1.84. Watching.
April 19 – Trading 1.94. Watching. Indicator indecision.
Apr 10 – No change.
April 5 – $URRE isn’t as close to a buy as $XME above, HOWEVER, the SQZMOM did signal green today and the MACD is slightly turning up! So it is on HIGH WATCH now!
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.
$URRE Daily MACD pinching at bottom, Stoch RSI turn up, SQZMOM needs green, price needs 20 MA.
Others on watch but not ready to report charting:
$RIG
May 23 – Trading 10.51 Watching.
May 17 – Trading 10.69. Watching.

April 24 – Trading 11.24. Watching.
April 19 – Watching.
Apr 10 – No Change. Trading 12.50.
April 5, 2017 – $RIG Sooo close. MACD up, SQZMOM about to turn GR, wedged, needs increasing volume and break-out confirmation for a long.
March 27 – It is holding its 200 MA like a trooper, but I want to see it at least be over 20 MA and other indicators to line up.
March 20 – MACD pinching, watching for it to turn up, Above 200 day but needs to trade above 20 MA for long.

April 19 – Watching
April 10 – No change.
April 5 – $XLE chart is very similar to $RIG and others in this space, HOWEVER, it is still under 200 MA. On watch for break of 200 MA.
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 pinching, watching for it to turn up, Needs 200 day and to trade above 20 MA for long or it becomes a short.

April 10 – No change. Trading 39.90.
April 5 – $SLX On watch for SQZMOM to turn green and MACD to turn up. Close.
March 27 – As with $XLE above this also qualifies as a short (pending short term indicators lining up when you take the position). Price lost the 100 MA and the indicators are negative – very bearish. Watching.
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.
$X – United States Steel Corp.
May 23 – Same
May 17 – Watching as with above.
May 9 – Trading 21.32. As below watching. Indicators are not flashing long at all.

$AKS Live Chart – https://www.tradingview.com/chart/AKS/BbzvqPhJ-AKS-Swing-trade-position-long-April-7-swingtrading-stock-pic/
April 5 – Sitting right on 200 MA now. Watching for 200 MA to hold, MACD to turn up, SQZMOM to green.
March 27 – AKS is coming in on the 200 MA test. Watching.
March 20 – MACD is turning up now, watching for price to trade above 20, 50, 100 that are clustered together. It is well over 200 MA.

Weekly Swing Trading Updates Tues May 30 $RCL, $JKS, $CTSH, $TSLA, $FEYE, $PCRX, $PBR, $NVO, $EWZ, $AGN, $IBB …
Good Morning Swing Traders and Welcome to the Compound Trading Weekly Swing Trading updates (1 of 3 this week) for the Week of May 29, 2017! $RCL, $JKS, $CTSH, $TSLA, $FEYE, $PCRX, $PBR, $NVO, $EWZ, $AGN, $IBB and more …
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:
Good morning!
This report is the story of recent run-ups that I likely should have closed positions on (some members notified me they were) but I didn’t – so we’ll see if I’ll be sorry I didn’t take the momo props to close out. If nothing else I won’t lose – but still. The list has been a good list in this one of three – they’ve been profit makers or flat for the most part.
Also noticeable on this list is that some are right at the edge of being perfect long set-ups – they could start triggering today in trade for sure.
Twitter alert service at @SwingAlerts_CT. I know many have expressed interest in the email only, but the Twitter option is available going forward for those that prefer that. Please bear with us as we integrate and orientate ourselves to this new function in our daily routines.
This report (1 of 3) focuses on the more recent stocks we have added to our swing trading set-up coverage. They include; $TSLA, $SNAP, $VGX, $AAU, $AMMJ, $AGN, $CTSH, $IBB, $FEYE, $LACDF, $PCRX, $PBR, $EWZ and $JKS. $RCL (Royal Caribbean) has been added to coverage on this list.
We are also going to categorize our coverage soon because we are following more than we expected when we first started the service..
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 or email with specific questions regarding trades you are considering for assistance. But it is critical 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.

$FEYE – Fire Eye Inc.
May 30 – Trading 14.80. Holding 14.40 entry. Stop set at entry now. Did hit 16.26 and should have closed there – or when MACD turned down. Here again a few members notified they closed so congrats on that swing! It does have 50 MA crossing / breaching 200 MA currently on daily so that is actually bullish. So it is indecisive.
May 22 – Trading 14.95. Holding from 14.40. Weekly SQZMOM green and trending up, MACD trending up, 100 MA resistance at 19.58 intra. Daily not as good – MACD possibly turning down, SQZMOM green but turning down but on positive side 50 MA may breach 200 MA to upside. Holding for now.
May 15 – Trading 14.97. May 11 Long 14.40 when 20 MA breached 50 MA (per set-up May 8 below). Stop 13.99. 500 shares. Stoch RSI is on its way down and we’re watching closely. Did not get the pop we wanted – a tad concerned. Caution warranted.
May 8 – $FEYE In break-out. Waiting for 20 MA to breach 200 MA to upside for long with price above and time indicators right – MACD, Stoch RSI, SQZMOM and volume.

$AGN – Allergan
May 30 – Trading 223.12. Interesting chart. MACD pinching to upside trend, Stoch RSI starting to trend up and the SQZMOM might turn up. Price still under 200 MA however.
May 22 – Trading 219.13. Lost all MA’s on daily and MACD down. It will take time.
May 15 – Trading 230.88. Touching the top of 200 MA and under 20, 50, 100 MA’s. Watching.
May 8 – Trading 244.99. Earning is one day so we are waiting for that. 20 MA is about to breach to upside 50 MA so we expect to take a long if price action confirms after earnings.
May 1 – $AGN Daily. Trigger long when 20 MA (blue) 50 MA (purple). MACD turned up SQZMOM just green now. Careful with earnings in eight days.
$CTSH – Cognizant Technology
May 30 – Trading 66.70 and stop set at 66.50 from 61.78 entry.

$TSLA – Tesla
May 30 – Trading 325.50 in premarket. Chart turning bullish. MACD about to turn up, Stoch RSI turned up, near 52 week high break out!
May 22 – Trading 310.57. MACD is still trending down on daily so we are confident we are getting our pullback and then we’ll consider a long at that point (that MACD curls up).
May 15 – Trading 317.58. Still looking for a better pull-back entry.
May 8 – Trading 311.75. MACD is trending down (cooling), Stoch RSI isn’t yet, and SQZMOM is trending down. Waiting for the indicators to bottom and turn up for long if MA’s confirm.
We decided to start covering Tesla because we feel it is out of the woods so to speak. There are many factors, but the bottom line is we are ready to trade this long term. It is revved right now, but it won’t be for long and we expect an entry sooner than later based on the simple charting below.
May 1 – Waiting. It is too heated. Stoch RSI at bottom turned up, MACD at top indecision however, SQZMOM green but trending down.
April 21 – Trading 302.80. Stoch RSI is at bottom likely to curl up, MACD at top crossed down, squeeze momentum indicator green but turning down, holding 8 ema. Waiting for indicators to line up.

April 13, 2017 – We decided to add $SNAP to our coverage because some of our clients have asked us to cover it, plain and simple. So the challenge is that it does not have the history we like, so we have charted it on hourly for now. This is considered a high risk trade.

Good Morning Swing Traders and Welcome to the Compound Trading Weekly Swing Trading Report (3 of 3) for Week of May 22, 2017. $AMBA, $FSLR, $AAOI, $GOOGL, $AMZN, $CALA, $LITE, $JUNO, $HIIQ, $EOG, $COTY, $GREK …………
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:
Important Service Upgrade Notice: To receive alerts be sure we have your email and you have followed our Twitter alert service at @SwingAlerts_CT. I know many have expressed interest in the email only, but the Twitter option is available going forward for those that prefer that. Please bear with us as we integrate and orientate ourselves to this new function in our daily routines.
This report is part 3 of 3 reports weekly. It is not complete! Will complete it this evening.
We will categorize our coverage soon because we are following more than we expected when we first started the service..
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 or email with specific questions regarding trades you are considering for assistance. But it is critical 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.
A note toward the alerts! Please be aware the sell triggers will regularly not be alerted live because they are triggered as stops. And on days like Wednesday so much happens so quickly there is no way to alert the closing of trades. Every member should have stops on their own trades anyway so it isn’t the closing of a trade that is critically alerted anyway, it is the netry – the stop is your own comfort level of risk.
Also, as live charts are made available below, click on link and open viewer. Then to use chart yourself click on share button at bottom right (near thumbs up) and then click “make it mine”.

https://twitter.com/swingtrading_ct/status/841079400485478400
$AMBA
May 25 – $AMBA Weekly set-up looking really bullish. 50 MA breaches 100 MA with price above. Earnings 12 days caution there. #swingtrading
I just about executed a long position just now in anticipation but didn’t. I’ll wait for the cross up on MA’s.
May 18 – $AMBA The 20 MA and price are racing to the 200 MA. And then….
Price will either pop or drop…. watching with keen eyes on this.
May 11 – $AMBA Price above 200MA with 20 MA about to breach 50 MA. Long today likely. There’s a chance I’ll let it retest 200 MA but I doubt it.
$COTY
May 25 – No change.
May 18 – Watching. The 200 MA is coming down on price soon.
May 11 – $COTY On Watch. MACD SQZMOM Stoch RSI Vol all up. 200 MA at 21.08 as res and 20 MA may breach 50MA. If 20 MA breaches 50 MA ad price is above I will go long. This is a whisper brought to us by TraderGirl.
$FSLR – First Solar
May 25 – $FSLR Set up is playing out perfect. Price over 200 MA with 20 MA breached. Testing natural horizontal resistance.
May 18 – Same thing. 20 MA coming up underside of 200 MA so we will wait for that to see what happens. The 20 did breach the 50 MA per last report but with market downdraft that ruined that quick.
May 10 – $FSLR 20 MA about to breach 50 MA going long there. Also has price above 200 MA extremely bullish. MACD and SQZMOM trending up.

Mar 19 – status remains same as Mar 12.
Mar 12, 2017 – The Stoch RSI hasn’t cooled, in fact it has heated since last report. Also below is the MACD, it’s near pinching so it may be best to take a short position soon and flip to long when MACD turns to buy signal.

$XRT – SPDR S&P Retail ETF
May 26 – Trading 40.81 Watching.
May 19 – Trading 40.97.Closed 43.30 May 11 when MACD turned down per below. Currently testing support so we are watching for a reversal.
May 10 – $XRT swing trade going well. Trading 43.79 holding from 41.67.April 10. 200 MA test. 20 MA breach 100 MA w price over 200 MA I will add. #swingtrading This is an example of taking the swing trade early. By early I mean before price is confirmed over 200 MA. If you do this you have to typically manage the trade tighter than otherwise. And watch it at each test of ma’s, especially at the 200 MA test.

$XRT Trade going well. Long 41.67 Apr 10. Holding on MACD trend & SQZMOM trend. Short term Stoch RSI may come off. 200 MA test #swingtrading
.April 20 – Trading 42.43. Hold. Indicators still positive.
April 11 – Long 41.67 April 10 for a test. 300 shares. Trading 42.11.
Mar 27 – Double bottom test in progress on high watch now.
Mar 19 – Sames status as Mar 12.
Mar 12, 2017 – The Stoch RSI is starting to pinch at bottom of range (see Mar 7 chart), MACD is still on sell however. On close watch here.
Mar 7, 2017 – Watching close for a bounce. Stoch RSI on chart is near bottom so on high watch here.
Feb 27, 2017 – Trading at 43.72 this beat up sector seems to be ripe for a bounce. If we execute a trade on Monday it will be to test the waters and watch the market sentiment day to day – this and price action will determine how long we are in it. An interim target however would be 46.80 and would likely change as the trade progresses.

$EXP Building Materials
May 26 – Closed at MACD turn down per below 98.70 May 23 from 95.90 300 shares.
May 19 – Trading 100.88 post earnings. We missed the add after the small tester long at 95.90. Watching MACD for turn down to complete tester swing.
$EXP Holding from 95.90 trading 100.88 MACD could cross up and boom time. We’ll see. #swingtrading
May 10 – Trading 99.76. Same status. Earnings in eight days.
May 4 – Trading 98.42. $EXP SQZMOM green, MACD turned up good vol, 50 MA support test. #watchlist #swingtrading #premarket
When the MACD turned up recently that was reason enough for an add to our long trade. We did not take the entry and now that we haven’t we are waiting for the price to be above the MA’s (still has to clear 100 MA – blue) and for he 20 MA (light blue) to cross up through the 50 MA (purple – with price above) and then likely a long position.
$EXP live chart link : https://www.tradingview.com/chart/EXP/6SW59pgo-EXP-SQZMOM-green-MACD-turned-up-good-vol-50-MA-support-test/
April 25 – Trading 97.63. $EXP Small test long at MACD turn up 95.90 April 21. Above 200 MA, SQZMOM may turn green 50 and 20 above price. #swingtrading
April 20 – Trading 94.45. Failed 20 MA test. Near 200 MA now. Waiting on indicators to turn up.
April 11 – Trading 96.37. Waiting on MACD and SQZMOM to turn up. Testing 20 MA now.
March 27 – 100 MA failed. Watching.
March 19 – Same status but on high watch for MACD because 100 MA held.
March 12, 2017 – $EXP Eagle Building Materials MACD still on sell, but expanding volume in play with 100 MA test. On watch for bounce.
Mar 7, 2017 – $EXP Building Materials watching close for a bounce.
Feb 27, 2017 – “Eagles Materials Posted Record Revenues, Record Net Earnings and Record Net Earnings per Diluted Share. Its stock grew 60% in 2016 and still looks cheap.”
Eagle Materials is a riskier play than most we will add to our swing portfolio, but our DD on this one has us excited and we likely will take a long position early this week with a target of minimum 10% upside in next 90 days. We will however keep our stop tight.

Mar 7, 2017 – It hasn’t got its bounce yet – still watching. Trading at 6.00.
Feb 27, 2017 – We find the $FIT trade interesting. Although we would never otherwise consider it and if we do enter today a long position it will be looked at as short term, we think there may be opportunity to swing trade it because it should be much lower considering its recent quarter… lower in that we expected a panic that did not occur. This seems bullish, or at minimum a likely “bargain” in our opinion.
$FIT Swing Trade Target 6.99. Trading at 6.15.

Mar 19 – It’s a bad trade but the MACD is so close to the bottom that we are holding for a bounce. One of our few bad swings in 2017.
Mar 12, 2017 – $NE Trade has turned against us with a sell signal on MACD. Holding on conviction. We believe it is near over-sold and this sector of the industry is near a turn in profit divergence.
Mar 12, 2017 – $NE Quarterly Swing Trading Performance Review. Long Feb 22 6.95 2000 Shares. Unrealized loss 1920.00. Hold.
Mar 7, 2017 – Holding long. Trading at 6.46.
Feb 23, 2017 – $NE Swing long opened 6.95 average for a 9.00 upside target.

May 10 – Trading 956.71 holding at 859.01. Indicators not saying sell yet.
May 4 – $GOOGL Long since 859.01 Trading 948.45 with SQZMOM green MACD ramped and decent vol. #holding #swingtrade Kings Queens and Castles.

April 25 – $GOOGL 879.00. Long 859.01 when MACD turn up SQZMOM turn green 20 MA punch thru 50 MA w price above? Wow what a champ move. #swingtrading. April 21 200 shares.
April 20 – Trading 857.20. MACD turned up, Stoch RSI turned up. SQZMOM just turned green. Waiting on 20 MA to cross up 50 MA for long.
April 11 – Watching MACD and SQZMOM to turn up for long.
Mar 27 – 863.99 Closed position 200 shares Mar 21 when previous high was lost. On watch for MACD turn.
Mar 19 – Trading at 872.37 holding – looking for dips to possibly add. MACD flat so this is a concern.
Mar 12, 2017 – $GOOGL Swing trade going well. In at 848.91 – holding and adding on dips (will advise). MACD on buy.
Mar 12, 2017 – $GOOGL Quarterly Swing Trading Performance Review. Long Feb 22 848.91 200 Shares. Unrealized gain 2570.00. Hold.
Mar 7, 2017 – Holding long per Feb 22, 2017. Trading at 847.27.
Feb 22, 2017 – We entered a long position starter at 848.91 200 shares. Stops will be managed manually and will be held tight until trade is to upside of current range. Pensive about short term market range.
Feb 21, 2017 – Price is to the topside of the break-out and I will likely enter a long position over the next day or two. Bullish on this stock.
Feb 12, 2017 – We still like the $GOOGL stock / chart. Price recently broke to the upside of the triangle and didn’t hold but is threatening to trade above again at Friday close. We’re watching for an upside break that holds for an entry or a visit to the 200 MA (pink line) for an entry.
Feb 7, 2017 Member Update: We expect a signal from the Trump camp soon (late this week), and if positive, this will be a very strong play – watch close! This needs to be high on your radar going forward!
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.

May 24 – Trading 995.00 long from 822.74.
May 19 – Trading 962.50 may add when Stoch RSI on daily turns back up.
May 10 – $AMZN Swing trade going well. Trading 952.45 in 822.74. May add at next pull back. #swingtrading
April 26 – $AMZN Premarket trading 907.04. Swing trade going well. In at 822.74. Stoch RSI revved, MACD mid flat, SQZMOM green. #swingtrading
April 20 – Trading 900.29. Hold per below.
April 11 – Trading 909.40 holding 100 shares from 822.72. When MACD and SQZMOM return to bottom and turn up I will likely add 100 long. Missed an execution on last dip.
Mar 27 – Hold trading at 845.39. Mar 21 lost 20 MA and almost sold but did not. Loss of 20 MA is a concern. Watching for 50 MA failure.
Mar 19 – Trading 852.31 holding. MACD pinching to downside so this is a concern.
Mar 12, 2017 – $AMZN Amazon Swing Trade going well. In at 822.72 trading 852.46. MACD on sell will add when MACD bottoms and turns (will advise).
Mar 12, 2017 – $AMZN Quarterly Swing Trading Performance Review. Long Feb 10 822.72 100 Shares. Unrealized gain 2930.00. Hold.
Mar 7, 2017 – Holding long and may add on dips now. Trading at 846.46.
Feb 21, 2017 – Trading at 839.48 in premarket we’re on the right side of this swing so far. Depending on price action I will look to add at pull backs. Very bullish this stock.
Feb 12, 2017 – Trade Alert! We entered a trade long at a cost average 822.72 for 100 shares as soon as price was upside the 20 MA. This is an aggressive trade (being that we didn’t wait for a pull-back to 50, 100 or 200). We have a tight stop on the trade at 804.00 (just below its recent low (this would be a broken trade in our opinion at that point). So we are hoping this week is a strong week for Amazon. If not our aggressive move will cost us.
Amazon Swing Trading Live Chart: https://www.tradingview.com/chart/AMZN/ZQt7CJMs-AMZN-Amazon-Swing-Trading-Member-Chart/
Feb 7, 2017 Member Alert! We haven’t got a pull back to the 200 day and depending on how tech does with Trump we may or may not, however, in overnight trade (premarket) price is close to the 100 day and I may take a test long position. This is one of our favorite picks so we will be quite aggressive with our attempts to get in at an inflection – so we are thinking sometime in the next few days looks decent.
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.

May 26 – $JUNO On close watch. Daily 20 MA could cross up 200 MA w Stoch RSI trending up, MACD trending and SQZMOM JUST TURNED GREEN

Feb 21, 2017 – On Feb 16 we closed our position at 23.88.
Feb 12, 2017 – We have been long since late December at 18.32 (1000 shares) and it trades at 21.95 now – will be ratcheting up stops soon, the trade has done well but in the short term we don’t see a lot of upside for entries now, unless trade returns to the 50 day MA.
$JUNO Another Swing Trade Winner. Swing Trade Member Stock Pick is up 20%.
Feb 7, 2017 Member Update: $JUNO since my first entry mid December 2016 has consistently moved in an upward trend, and from that perspective has been a good stock pick. But it hasn’t been excellent like many of my other picks. It does have a gap fill coming soon so if you are long I would ratchet up your stops as you near 22.70 area.

Feb 22, 2017 – We closed our long positions in late trade and extended hours at 5.01 average.
Feb 21, 2017 – It is trading at 3.90 in premarket and recently as high as 4.23. Holding.
Feb 12, 2017 – This stock hasn’t slowed down since our entry at 2.59 (10000 shares) and doesn’t seem to want to return to the trendline support so our swing trade members can get in. It is trading perfectly in our prescribed range (albeit at the top) and closed at 3.90 on Friday – we have a 5.57 PT on it so I don’t if it is best to enter now – I wouldn’t unless it returns to the support line but some of the more aggressive swing trading members may want to consider it. Also, we will be ratcheting stops before earnings and even though earnings are expected to be strong we likely will not hold through earnings (or if we do it will be with tight stops).
$CBMX news – http://finance.yahoo.com/news/cbmx-expect-record-revenue-profit-140000918.html
$CBMX Swing Trade Stock Pick Doing Well up 50% Now.
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.

Feb 21, 2017 – We closed our position last week at 46.04 because sentiment in this sector started to turn. We may look at a re-entry, however, we are waiting for the crude oil resistance test to play out and would like to monitor sentiment.
Feb 12, 2017 – This has been a fantastic swing trade and many of our members have profited from it. We are holding and have moved up stops to a 5% drop.
It is currently trading at 45.70 and is up considerably for our members – our 2017 price target was 49.58 and our short term price targets were easily met.
It is also currently trading just above its 200 MA so we are watching close – if it loses the 200 MA we will exit likely. So if you are thinking of adding or a long trade here you want to watch the 200 MA.

Feb 7, 2017 Member Alert! We never did get that pull back, and I appreciate the notes from members that have done well with this swing nonetheless! However, caution is warranted entering this play with-out a pull-back.
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.

March 19 – Trading 1.41 holding.
Mar 12, 2017 – Holding position. MACD turned down and will add when MACD turns up. Holding 2000 at 1.50 trading at 1.36. Near the stop loss area but for myself this is a conviction trade based on Trump and this specific company. It is also a relatively small position.
Mar 7 2017 – Holding.
Feb 21, 2017 – Holding, watching for possible add.

Good Morning Swing Traders and Welcome to the Compound Trading Weekly Swing Trading Report (3 of 3) for Week of May 22, 2017. $AMBA, $FSLR, $AAOI, $GOOGL, $AMZN, $CALA, $LITE, $JUNO, $HIIQ, $EOG, $COTY, $GREK …………
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:
Important Service Upgrade Notice: To receive alerts be sure we have your email and you have followed our Twitter alert service at @SwingAlerts_CT. I know many have expressed interest in the email only, but the Twitter option is available going forward for those that prefer that. Please bear with us as we integrate and orientate ourselves to this new function in our daily routines.
This report is part 3 of 3 reports weekly. It is not complete! Will complete it this evening.
We will categorize our coverage soon because we are following more than we expected when we first started the service..
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 or email with specific questions regarding trades you are considering for assistance. But it is critical 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.
A note toward the alerts! Please be aware the sell triggers will regularly not be alerted live because they are triggered as stops. And on days like Wednesday so much happens so quickly there is no way to alert the closing of trades. Every member should have stops on their own trades anyway so it isn’t the closing of a trade that is critically alerted anyway, it is the netry – the stop is your own comfort level of risk.

$AMBA
May 25 – $AMBA Weekly set-up looking really bullish. 50 MA breaches 100 MA with price above. Earnings 12 days caution there. #swingtrading
I just about executed a long position just now in anticipation but didn’t. I’ll wait for the cross up on MA’s.
May 18 – $AMBA The 20 MA and price are racing to the 200 MA. And then….
Price will either pop or drop…. watching with keen eyes on this.
May 11 – $AMBA Price above 200MA with 20 MA about to breach 50 MA. Long today likely. There’s a chance I’ll let it retest 200 MA but I doubt it.
$COTY
May 25 – No change.
May 18 – Watching. The 200 MA is coming down on price soon.
May 11 – $COTY On Watch. MACD SQZMOM Stoch RSI Vol all up. 200 MA at 21.08 as res and 20 MA may breach 50MA. If 20 MA breaches 50 MA ad price is above I will go long. This is a whisper brought to us by TraderGirl.
$FSLR – First Solar
May 25 – $FSLR Set up is playing out perfect. Price over 200 MA with 20 MA breached. Testing natural horizontal resistance.
May 18 – Same thing. 20 MA coming up underside of 200 MA so we will wait for that to see what happens. The 20 did breach the 50 MA per last report but with market downdraft that ruined that quick.
May 10 – $FSLR 20 MA about to breach 50 MA going long there. Also has price above 200 MA extremely bullish. MACD and SQZMOM trending up.

This one was also referred by Spiegel I do believe.
$HIIQ – Health Ins Innovations
May 18 – This is moving to positive in premarket and chart is very bullish. May trade this long today.
May 11 – $HIIQ Watching for 20 MA to cross 100 MA for possible long. A tad overbought but will see how indicators look at that time.

Mar 12, 2017 – The Stoch RSI hasn’t cooled, in fact it has heated since last report. Also below is the MACD, it’s near pinching so it may be best to take a short position soon and flip to long when MACD turns to buy signal.

$XRT – SPDR S&P Retail ETF
May 19 – Trading 40.97.Closed 43.30 May 11 when MACD turned down per below. Currently testing support so we are watching for a reversal.
May 10 – $XRT swing trade going well. Trading 43.79 holding from 41.67.April 10. 200 MA test. 20 MA breach 100 MA w price over 200 MA I will add. #swingtrading This is an example of taking the swing trade early. By early I mean before price is confirmed over 200 MA. If you do this you have to typically manage the trade tighter than otherwise. And watch it at each test of ma’s, especially at the 200 MA test.
Live Chart: https://www.tradingview.com/chart/XRT/up9npBct-XRT-swing-trade-going-well-Holding-from-41-67-April-10-200-MA/
May 4 – $XRT SPDR S&P Retail ETF Trading 43.02. Holding from 41.67 but MACD may turn down any second, and if so I will likely close. #swingtrade
April 25 – Trading 43.15. Holding from 41.67
$XRT Trade going well. Long 41.67 Apr 10. Holding on MACD trend & SQZMOM trend. Short term Stoch RSI may come off. 200 MA test #swingtrading
.April 20 – Trading 42.43. Hold. Indicators still positive.
April 11 – Long 41.67 April 10 for a test. 300 shares. Trading 42.11.
Mar 27 – Double bottom test in progress on high watch now.
Mar 19 – Sames status as Mar 12.
Mar 12, 2017 – The Stoch RSI is starting to pinch at bottom of range (see Mar 7 chart), MACD is still on sell however. On close watch here.
Mar 7, 2017 – Watching close for a bounce. Stoch RSI on chart is near bottom so on high watch here.
Feb 27, 2017 – Trading at 43.72 this beat up sector seems to be ripe for a bounce. If we execute a trade on Monday it will be to test the waters and watch the market sentiment day to day – this and price action will determine how long we are in it. An interim target however would be 46.80 and would likely change as the trade progresses.

$EXP Building Materials
May 19 – Trading 100.88 post earnings. We missed the add after the small tester long at 95.90. Watching MACD for turn down to complete tester swing.
$EXP Holding from 95.90 trading 100.88 MACD could cross up and boom time. We’ll see. #swingtrading
May 10 – Trading 99.76. Same status. Earnings in eight days.
May 4 – Trading 98.42. $EXP SQZMOM green, MACD turned up good vol, 50 MA support test. #watchlist #swingtrading #premarket
When the MACD turned up recently that was reason enough for an add to our long trade. We did not take the entry and now that we haven’t we are waiting for the price to be above the MA’s (still has to clear 100 MA – blue) and for he 20 MA (light blue) to cross up through the 50 MA (purple – with price above) and then likely a long position.
$EXP live chart link : https://www.tradingview.com/chart/EXP/6SW59pgo-EXP-SQZMOM-green-MACD-turned-up-good-vol-50-MA-support-test/
April 25 – Trading 97.63. $EXP Small test long at MACD turn up 95.90 April 21. Above 200 MA, SQZMOM may turn green 50 and 20 above price. #swingtrading
April 20 – Trading 94.45. Failed 20 MA test. Near 200 MA now. Waiting on indicators to turn up.
April 11 – Trading 96.37. Waiting on MACD and SQZMOM to turn up. Testing 20 MA now.
March 27 – 100 MA failed. Watching.
March 19 – Same status but on high watch for MACD because 100 MA held.
March 12, 2017 – $EXP Eagle Building Materials MACD still on sell, but expanding volume in play with 100 MA test. On watch for bounce.
Mar 7, 2017 – $EXP Building Materials watching close for a bounce.
Feb 27, 2017 – “Eagles Materials Posted Record Revenues, Record Net Earnings and Record Net Earnings per Diluted Share. Its stock grew 60% in 2016 and still looks cheap.”
Eagle Materials is a riskier play than most we will add to our swing portfolio, but our DD on this one has us excited and we likely will take a long position early this week with a target of minimum 10% upside in next 90 days. We will however keep our stop tight.

Mar 7, 2017 – It hasn’t got its bounce yet – still watching. Trading at 6.00.
Feb 27, 2017 – We find the $FIT trade interesting. Although we would never otherwise consider it and if we do enter today a long position it will be looked at as short term, we think there may be opportunity to swing trade it because it should be much lower considering its recent quarter… lower in that we expected a panic that did not occur. This seems bullish, or at minimum a likely “bargain” in our opinion.
$FIT Swing Trade Target 6.99. Trading at 6.15.
$VFC
May 19 – $VFC not near ready.
May 10 – $VFC On high watch now. Waiting for price to breach 200 MA and 20 MA to breach 200 MA for long.

Mar 12, 2017 – $NE Trade has turned against us with a sell signal on MACD. Holding on conviction. We believe it is near over-sold and this sector of the industry is near a turn in profit divergence.

April 25 – $GOOGL 879.00. Long 859.01 when MACD turn up SQZMOM turn green 20 MA punch thru 50 MA w price above? Wow what a champ move. #swingtrading. April 21 200 shares.
April 20 – Trading 857.20. MACD turned up, Stoch RSI turned up. SQZMOM just turned green. Waiting on 20 MA to cross up 50 MA for long.
April 11 – Watching MACD and SQZMOM to turn up for long.
Mar 27 – 863.99 Closed position 200 shares Mar 21 when previous high was lost. On watch for MACD turn.
Mar 19 – Trading at 872.37 holding – looking for dips to possibly add. MACD flat so this is a concern.
Mar 12, 2017 – $GOOGL Swing trade going well. In at 848.91 – holding and adding on dips (will advise). MACD on buy.
Mar 12, 2017 – $GOOGL Quarterly Swing Trading Performance Review. Long Feb 22 848.91 200 Shares. Unrealized gain 2570.00. Hold.
Mar 7, 2017 – Holding long per Feb 22, 2017. Trading at 847.27.
Feb 22, 2017 – We entered a long position starter at 848.91 200 shares. Stops will be managed manually and will be held tight until trade is to upside of current range. Pensive about short term market range.
Feb 21, 2017 – Price is to the topside of the break-out and I will likely enter a long position over the next day or two. Bullish on this stock.
Feb 12, 2017 – We still like the $GOOGL stock / chart. Price recently broke to the upside of the triangle and didn’t hold but is threatening to trade above again at Friday close. We’re watching for an upside break that holds for an entry or a visit to the 200 MA (pink line) for an entry.
Feb 7, 2017 Member Update: We expect a signal from the Trump camp soon (late this week), and if positive, this will be a very strong play – watch close! This needs to be high on your radar going forward!
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.

Amazon $AMZN
May 19 – Trading 962.50 may add when Stoch RSI on daily turns back up.
May 10 – $AMZN Swing trade going well. Trading 952.45 in 822.74. May add at next pull back. #swingtrading
April 26 – $AMZN Premarket trading 907.04. Swing trade going well. In at 822.74. Stoch RSI revved, MACD mid flat, SQZMOM green. #swingtrading
April 20 – Trading 900.29. Hold per below.
April 11 – Trading 909.40 holding 100 shares from 822.72. When MACD and SQZMOM return to bottom and turn up I will likely add 100 long. Missed an execution on last dip.
Mar 27 – Hold trading at 845.39. Mar 21 lost 20 MA and almost sold but did not. Loss of 20 MA is a concern. Watching for 50 MA failure.
Mar 19 – Trading 852.31 holding. MACD pinching to downside so this is a concern.
Mar 12, 2017 – $AMZN Amazon Swing Trade going well. In at 822.72 trading 852.46. MACD on sell will add when MACD bottoms and turns (will advise).
Mar 12, 2017 – $AMZN Quarterly Swing Trading Performance Review. Long Feb 10 822.72 100 Shares. Unrealized gain 2930.00. Hold.
Mar 7, 2017 – Holding long and may add on dips now. Trading at 846.46.
Feb 21, 2017 – Trading at 839.48 in premarket we’re on the right side of this swing so far. Depending on price action I will look to add at pull backs. Very bullish this stock.
Feb 12, 2017 – Trade Alert! We entered a trade long at a cost average 822.72 for 100 shares as soon as price was upside the 20 MA. This is an aggressive trade (being that we didn’t wait for a pull-back to 50, 100 or 200). We have a tight stop on the trade at 804.00 (just below its recent low (this would be a broken trade in our opinion at that point). So we are hoping this week is a strong week for Amazon. If not our aggressive move will cost us.
Amazon Swing Trading Live Chart: https://www.tradingview.com/chart/AMZN/ZQt7CJMs-AMZN-Amazon-Swing-Trading-Member-Chart/
Feb 7, 2017 Member Alert! We haven’t got a pull back to the 200 day and depending on how tech does with Trump we may or may not, however, in overnight trade (premarket) price is close to the 100 day and I may take a test long position. This is one of our favorite picks so we will be quite aggressive with our attempts to get in at an inflection – so we are thinking sometime in the next few days looks decent.
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.

Mar 12 – $JUNO Quarterly Swing Trading Performance Review. Long Dec 22 18.32. Closed Feb 15 23.88. 1000 Shares. + 5,560.00 P/L 31% gain.
Feb 21, 2017 – On Feb 16 we closed our position at 23.88.
Feb 12, 2017 – We have been long since late December at 18.32 (1000 shares) and it trades at 21.95 now – will be ratcheting up stops soon, the trade has done well but in the short term we don’t see a lot of upside for entries now, unless trade returns to the 50 day MA.
$JUNO Another Swing Trade Winner. Swing Trade Member Stock Pick is up 20%.
Feb 7, 2017 Member Update: $JUNO since my first entry mid December 2016 has consistently moved in an upward trend, and from that perspective has been a good stock pick. But it hasn’t been excellent like many of my other picks. It does have a gap fill coming soon so if you are long I would ratchet up your stops as you near 22.70 area.

May 11 – $CBMX Swing trade going well. Trading 6.05. Long 5.20 3000 May 5 when MACD crossed up. Will add after Stoch RSI comes down and curls back up as long as MA’s stay on rights side. Will close if MACD crosses down. New live alert service this weekend will be soon enough for members to catch this add.
April 26 – Watching. Trading 5.05. Since 20 MA crossed up 200 MA on $CBMX it has almost doubled! Perfect this trade set-up say bye to day job. #freedomtraders #chart #setups

April 20 – Trading 4.90. Waiting on SQZMOM to turn green and MACD to turn up.
April 11 – Trading 5.30. There was a trade there when MACD and SQZMOM recently turned up. We didn’t take it. Watching.
Mar 27 – No Change

Mar 12 – Member Alert! We will look at a re-entry on this when MACD turns back up!
Mar 12, 2017 – $CBMX Quarterly Swing Trading Performance Review. Long Dec 6 2.59. Closed Feb 22 5.01. 10000 Shares. + 24,200.00 P/L 93% gain.
Feb 22, 2017 – We closed our long positions in late trade and extended hours at 5.01 average.
Feb 21, 2017 – It is trading at 3.90 in premarket and recently as high as 4.23. Holding.
Feb 12, 2017 – This stock hasn’t slowed down since our entry at 2.59 (10000 shares) and doesn’t seem to want to return to the trendline support so our swing trade members can get in. It is trading perfectly in our prescribed range (albeit at the top) and closed at 3.90 on Friday – we have a 5.57 PT on it so I don’t if it is best to enter now – I wouldn’t unless it returns to the support line but some of the more aggressive swing trading members may want to consider it. Also, we will be ratcheting stops before earnings and even though earnings are expected to be strong we likely will not hold through earnings (or if we do it will be with tight stops).

$CBMX Swing Trade Stock Pick Doing Well up 50% Now.
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.

Feb 21, 2017 – We closed our position last week at 46.04 because sentiment in this sector started to turn. We may look at a re-entry, however, we are waiting for the crude oil resistance test to play out and would like to monitor sentiment.
Feb 12, 2017 – This has been a fantastic swing trade and many of our members have profited from it. We are holding and have moved up stops to a 5% drop.
It is currently trading at 45.70 and is up considerably for our members – our 2017 price target was 49.58 and our short term price targets were easily met.
It is also currently trading just above its 200 MA so we are watching close – if it loses the 200 MA we will exit likely. So if you are thinking of adding or a long trade here you want to watch the 200 MA.
$OAK OakTree Capital Group Swing Trading Alert for Members has done well with 25% gains in 2017

42.71 – 43.50 is our short term swing target (less than 3 months).
Feb 7, 2017 Member Alert! $OAK has met this swing trade target for our members – caution forward please!

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.

Feb 7, 2017 Member Alert! We never did get that pull back, and I appreciate the notes from members that have done well with this swing nonetheless! However, caution is warranted entering this play with-out a pull-back.
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.

March 19 – Trading 1.41 holding.
Mar 12, 2017 – Holding position. MACD turned down and will add when MACD turns up. Holding 2000 at 1.50 trading at 1.36. Near the stop loss area but for myself this is a conviction trade based on Trump and this specific company. It is also a relatively small position.

Weekly Swing Trading Stocks Tues May 23 $MXIM, $BABA, $LIT, $EXK, $ATHM, $BWA, $NFLX, $WYNN…
Welcome to the Compound Trading Weekly Swing Trading Stocks for the Week of May 22, 2017. $MXIM, $BABA, $LIT, $EXK, $ATHM, $BWA, $NFLX, $WYNN and more.
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:
Important Service Upgrade Notice: To receive alerts be sure we have your email and you have followed our Twitter alert service at @SwingAlerts_CT. I know many have expressed interest in the email only, but the Twitter option is available going forward for those that prefer that. Please bear with us for a few days as we integrate and orientate ourselves to this new function in our daily routines.
This report is 2 of 3 reports weekly.
You can expect the third report within in 48 hours of this report.
We will categorize our coverage soon because we are following more than we expected when we first started the service..
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 or email with specific questions regarding trades you are considering for assistance. But it is critical 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.

March 27 – We’re long 104.64 500 shares March 22 at test of 20 MA. Stop is at our entry and we are looking for a fresh break-out. However, the market sentiment is not great right now so we are unsure. There is an upside pivot at 111.38 we are watching for resistance should price continue up. Also watching MACD close.
March 20 – Wait for MACD to turn up and confirm and stay long until MACD turns down. The Stoch RSI seems to be frontrunning the MACD fyi. $BABA is one of my favorites right now and I see a long entry early in the week.

$NFLX
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 148.80 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 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.

$GSIT
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.

$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
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
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.

$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
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
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
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
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
May 23 – Trading 29.23. Watching.
May 17 – Trading 29.32 MACD on weekly is down and price on Daily is under MA’s. Waiting on 20 MA to cross up and price to be above.
May 9 – Trading 28.73. See below.
May 3 – Trading 29.71. Watching for MACD to turn up. Currently pinched.
April 24 – Trading 29.79. Watching.
April 19 – Trading 29.48. Close flat 30.59 on the 12th. Testing 200 MA now. Watching for Stoch RSI to turn up, MACD to turn up and SQZMOM to turn green for long.
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.

Apr 10 – No change.
April 5 – $URRE isn’t as close to a buy as $XME above, HOWEVER, the SQZMOM did signal green today and the MACD is slightly turning up! So it is on HIGH WATCH now!
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.
$URRE Daily MACD pinching at bottom, Stoch RSI turn up, SQZMOM needs green, price needs 20 MA.
Others on watch but not ready to report charting:

April 24 – Trading 11.24. Watching.
April 19 – Watching.
Apr 10 – No Change. Trading 12.50.
April 5, 2017 – $RIG Sooo close. MACD up, SQZMOM about to turn GR, wedged, needs increasing volume and break-out confirmation for a long.
March 27 – It is holding its 200 MA like a trooper, but I want to see it at least be over 20 MA and other indicators to line up.
March 20 – MACD pinching, watching for it to turn up, Above 200 day but needs to trade above 20 MA for long.

April 10 – No change.
April 5 – $XLE chart is very similar to $RIG and others in this space, HOWEVER, it is still under 200 MA. On watch for break of 200 MA.
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 pinching, watching for it to turn up, Needs 200 day and to trade above 20 MA for long or it becomes a short.

April 10 – No change. Trading 39.90.
April 5 – $SLX On watch for SQZMOM to turn green and MACD to turn up. Close.
March 27 – As with $XLE above this also qualifies as a short (pending short term indicators lining up when you take the position). Price lost the 100 MA and the indicators are negative – very bearish. Watching.
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.
$X – United States Steel Corp.
May 23 – Same
May 17 – Watching as with above.
May 9 – Trading 21.32. As below watching. Indicators are not flashing long at all.

$AKS Live Chart – https://www.tradingview.com/chart/AKS/BbzvqPhJ-AKS-Swing-trade-position-long-April-7-swingtrading-stock-pic/
April 5 – Sitting right on 200 MA now. Watching for 200 MA to hold, MACD to turn up, SQZMOM to green.
March 27 – AKS is coming in on the 200 MA test. Watching.
March 20 – MACD is turning up now, watching for price to trade above 20, 50, 100 that are clustered together. It is well over 200 MA.
