ERTS

Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006

Catch this:

The chart is bullish. 10% risk from current levels with a stop under the fuzzy C. Lindsay from Wallstrip made ERTS the topic of discussion on Tuesday, and what a nicely bullish stock worthy of discussion. $75.00 is my target. Risk 10% to make 25%?? Yeah, well, not the […]

SWHC

Saturday, November 18th, 2006

Having reviewed price action in SWHC this week I see that it took the 5% risk for the last setup I posted, failing at the Fuzzy C support. So it’s off the TechncialTrades.net port now and I’m contemplating price action and the technicals.
I see that the technical pattern on the daily is clearly a […]

BMD short

Saturday, November 18th, 2006

Thanks for Websman for the heads up on this one. He might be taking BMD long in the Portfolio of the Week contest at MrMarketisHuge forum, looking for a 1-day gain, and he might just get a 20% pop to Fuzzy C resistance. The daily count calls for an impulse up 4 before […]

ENT short

Thursday, November 16th, 2006

Thanks to Tom for the heads up on this one in chat today. Looks like this strength is worth shorting into. EDIT: Shorting on Monday at 10.00 with a .20 stop to target a gap fill; price has risen nicely to the Fuzzy C resistance.

ERF short

Thursday, November 16th, 2006

Shorting this puppy at the open tomorrow with a $24.00 target and $42.80 stop.

PARL a quick stop out

Wednesday, November 15th, 2006

EDIT: Less than an hour after this post, a bullish pop stops the position out for -10%.
Yet another short entry point here, as the Fuzzy C fails for PARL.
Adding another position short in the technicaltrades.net portfolio. Stop on this position at 6.81. Target is 3.00. 10% to […]

HOG

Wednesday, November 15th, 2006

It’s in the 3 up. Long bias while the recent 2 support holds.

STEM taking profits

Wednesday, November 15th, 2006

STEM has been a long in the technicaltrades.net portfolio since the correctives in October. It’s nicely green now; +29%.
Based on the action on the daily, the fact this may be a ‘b’ up before a ‘c’ corrective, I’m taking the +29% profit off the table and will buy the ‘c’ dip at $2.85 if […]

ACOR short

Wednesday, November 15th, 2006

ACOR just popped intraday to daily C resistance at 16.20 and my alert went off for the entry, so it is now a short in the technicaltrades.net portfolio as a short. Stop on bias at 18.15, above the 5 resistance. EDIT: After +7% move, stop moved to -2% risk. EDIT: […]

IMCL

Wednesday, November 15th, 2006

IMCL has been a short in the technicaltrades.net portfolio for a couple of months and the position only enjoyed a few days in the green before getting squeezed nicely. In fact, the port has 2 positions for it. Technicals have now changed for it, and the bias is clearly long. The shorts […]

Futures today; +$1365 net!

Tuesday, November 14th, 2006

The bull rewarded nicely today for the patient.
As per chat today:
Nov 14, 16:03 Spike* Net +$1365 today. Results: +88 -12 +80 +30 -16 +80 +28 +20 = + 298 points from 8 setups. 6 winners, 2 losers. Probability 75%. Average winner 54.3. Average loser 14. W/L = 3.88. Sweet equity curve with those numbers. $1490 less […]

ACOR short

Friday, November 10th, 2006

Sets up for a short while price is under the ‘c’. Logical stop is above the ‘c’, currently at 9% risk. Intraday pivot at 14.94 a good place to short into strength. That’s 7% risk.
