Stocks, ETN’s, ETF’s I am Holding:
I am holding (in order of sizing – all moderately small to micro sizing) $BSTG, $ONTX, $DUST, $VRX, $TRCH, $LGCY, $SSH, $ASM, $USRM (this is the daytrading portfolio and does not represent swing trading service portfolio):
Trading and The Markets Looking Forward:
Recent notes in post market reports that still apply,
“The small and micro momentum stocks continue to pop, however, traders need to be cautious because often its the low floats and thin trade can be difficult to chip out of positions – caution warranted in many ways.”
“These low float micros have in past signaled the end of a cycle in the market – keep that in mind.”
“Our standard plays that reflect the six algorithm charting we do are all at decisions at either support or resistance so this should get really interesting soon.”
Per yesterday, “Our swing trading side continues to outperform all my expectations for 2017 (you can find the most recent unlocked swing trading newsletter on our blog) – I had a feeling it was going to do well, just didn’t quite expect a grandslam. We’re in the middle of compiling our next set of stock picks for the swing trading members and will have them out over next few days – hopefully that batch will bring the same type of returns as the new year batch did and continue to in most instances.
US Dollar $DXY $USDJPY $UUP:
Per recent; $DXY US Dollar is threatening to the trend reversal side, but not confirmed, awaiting market direction.
Gold $GLD $XAUUSD / Gold Miner’s $GDX:
Per recent; Gold and Miner’s are both at what we consider key resistance.
Silver $SLV:
Per recent; Silver is at what consider key resistance.
Crude Oil $USOIL $WTI:
Per recent; Crude oil continues to threaten a key support and resistance area that we have used as an area of accumulation long (we’re long as long as the trend is in place – the trend is your friend and we’re trading the range until it isn’t).
Volatility $VIX:
Per recent; Volatility continues its flat line.
$SPY S&P 500:
Per recent, “$SPY continues the break-out. Trade the Fibs and buy the dip until you can’t. Respect stops.”
Natural Gas:
Watch 2.44 – 2.57
$NG_F $NATGAS $UGAZ $DGAZ $UNG range to watch. https://t.co/xDTcrUqyiG

Momentum Trades:
Per recent; As noted above, the low float micros and small cap issues continue in momo.
Swing Trading:
Per recent; As noted above, our Swing Trading service has sent one out of the park after another. Continues to look good forward.
