Monday thoughts

433
lloking at daily charts from april 3rd, looks like resist was tested friday and today, and that a pb away from resist has started, and looks like it needs to go lower more, on ES and TF IWM

406
i see gap down 76%, and lower overall coming hours days

354
from a swing perspect not intraday

354
[15:54:00] in general, when this "dull day" behavior exhibits itself over and over again, like we are starting to see,,,a break lower or higher usually occurs in the (support or resist) direction furthest from current price
[15:54:13] if support is farther than resist, the break usually goes lower
[15:54:23] in order to get participation and movement

248
IBM looks good rite now, shortted it

239
[14:39:32] FITB putting in a bearish daily candle, still shortable at this price swing imo
[14:39:46] may get the 2% trgt today

225
watching sco for entry, as vehicle to swing short oil, no entry yet,,oil still moving higher

1234
tookk 4% gain on aapl short, quick swing, ,,,,multimonth hold aapl short still red, will look to reshort again later aapl,,,see lower but taking it off here since i'm a bit busy today

1229
out of slv, small port scalp, will look later again

1224
slv will sell 3017, adjusted order, and actively trade it, perhaps buying back later if sell order triggers
i have other related positions in swing, so actively trading the slv for now


1113
i have order to sell SLV 30.47 if it gets there

1054
60min chart on aapl quick swing short suggests holding another 1--4 hours, so may take profits on that if it moves lower, will re-eval later.  AAPL long term short i'm holding regardless,,, aapl long term hold (wekks months) is red atm,, aapl quick swing at 3% gain

1030
aapl is down 2% today

1022
previously mentioned stop on AU was hit, out for now, tho still have the related GDX

1014
FITB looks vulnerable here, shortable imo, profit targets are 2%, 4.5%, 7% and 9% lower from here, 2% poss today

945
[09:44:52] still holding swing shorts in de ftib intc pcln spxu, longs in au gdx dba slv spxu[09:45:09] all short swings still shortable at curr prices imo, swing

938
went long SLV 29.90

Friday thoughts

401
ES hit the 1396.50, near 1396, b4 4:15pm

354
1396 es trgt by 415pm if setup works,not trading it

351
[15:51:02] GAP analysis evaluates to gap down on monday, using method i use
  15:51:21] only 1 indicator, i dont base trades on the gap analysis

340
1398 and 1394 es mini supports

331
some stocks are up on really low volume, ex intc appears lower ratio than spy

330
this resis break higher imo has converted ES from a daily downtrend to neutral sideways, not to an uptrend, if u look back at candels to march 13

329
"technically" ES has broken OVER RESISTANCE but imo this kind of breakout isnt buyable long, the pb may be buyable if its not too intense and then gets smaller candles,,,maybe know more next week

324
intc is moving lower now a bit,weaker than es spy on 3min charts

247
AAPL keeps testing this support area, at the 1.3% gain level (quick swing not multimonth swing, 2 diff trades),,,, it looks breakable. one could lock profits here, tighten stop, or let it ride. on the remaining shares (25% large port, 100% small port) i am letting it ride for now, with no set stop atm.

1115
its taking awhile, but still think DBA swing long is buyable here, poss 10% move higher

1111
first 15min red candle intc, bounced, trying to short this second 15min red candle, also part of the strat

1109
will see,,,intc at gap resist now, gap down from earning,,lookiung for retest of those earning lows, tho this is a bit early and retest sometimes comes days weeks later

1104
shorted intc here, added to existing positino

1040
new long gdx, will exit today if it moves higher, else may swing

1030
as of yest, out of CHRW short,,,looking to re-enter again sometime, not yet,,,traded short several times swing, for transport sector

1013
[10:12:18] i reset stops back to same as yest: AU 33.88, AGQ 49.93... same price, but i often cancel the stop orders at the open and then re-eval, so as not to be prematurely stopped, tho today they didnt come close to stops, one never knows
[10:12:57] those are hard stops, for now, i might exit sooner, at a diff price, hard stops in place in case of sudden move, both the miners and the metals phys can make v fast moves

1005
other day, someone asked what dark cloud cover was: if daily DE closes today around 82 or lower, would be dc cover...gap up, red candle, close halfwayish prior day

957
[09:57:20] larger positions in quick swing aapl, could take half off here again, after doing so yest then re-shorting yest to full position, same place, 1.25% small gain
 [09:57:36] small port---i'm holding the aapl quick swing thru this, for lower

PCLN, my ill timed short there is stinging now, but i'm holding it for now, and will look at exiting later

932
 aapl has actualy gapped down, despite ES and NQ up

921 am
 it could be choppy from 930--1000-1030am, and we may have a livlier friday than usualy today. ES SPY may see a move lower and then quickly higher again as it chops around

Thurs thoughts

541
if SI futures can stay over 3050--3100 overnite, may pop higher and give a gap up on SLV  AGQ in the morning, think higher atm for silver swings

448
i still have the agq silver swing long, only exited scalp slv

448
exited the SLV scalp afterhours 30.24, breakeven (2 cents profit LOL), in the vse port i had to exit at 3:56pmish since it does not allow afterhours

330
3040 and 3060 slv trgts, trying for 3060,, agq has higher trgt since its swing not scalp

329
long slv for scalp 30.22

1258
the wild VHC gapped over the 26.47 lim order to sell remaining half today, out for now with 17% gain on second half, large port

1230
AU may not make a higher high today, but i would not be surprised if it gets a higher hi today, given the 60min chart,, again, it could go lower instead of course

1229
[12:28:39] AU can work now imo, scalp or swing,would only scalp if willing to hold swing if it doesnt move,,,lower au would not wreck the swing long setup imo
[12:28:50] stops remain the same for now, on existing position

last 3420 au

1219
oops, correction it would be a loss in small port if stopped out,,,still keeping that stop nonetheless,,,looked at price in wrong port, sorry

1219
AGQ silver i am placing a stop at 49.93,,if stopped out will be near breakeven,,,stop is at 2nd level of support lower, looking for it to hold first level support else may exit silver b4 stopped out to get a better profit on it,,,,silver can move v fast, so i want to have the stop in place lower, in case of sudden move

1214
if stopped out of AU with mini profit, i intend to reenter again, poss today, at lower level,, new entries makes sense to wait and not buy here yet, AU, imo

1209
PCLN putting in a nice bear daily candle, shoot star, unless it rallies b4 close

1200
slv 60min still on "hold swing another 4 - 8 hours",,,so giving it some room, with stops in place of course

I have a diff chart setup for "60min is tired but dont exit yet, but exit on the next move higher on the 15min chart",,, however that setup is NOT yet showing weakness and "warning" for slv, atm anyways

1144
large port ung had 1640 trgt, it hit 1643, its happy,,,,smaller port didnt get this advantage as it took profit yest

1114
[11:13:40] larger ports could take some profit on aapl quick swing about 1%, smaller port i'm holding it in the simulator for now
 [11:13:57] aapl may backtest 606 area, then lower, unsure

1058
so "mental stops" 3400 and 3417, hard 33.88, small port

1058
[10:58:13] small port: i have raised my stop in AU to 33.88, last is 3460,,,it really should stay over 3420 or 3400,,,if stopped out will take only a small profit, but want to protect from loss. large port, titer stop or taking some off here makes sense
[10:58:32] AU is at 2.6% gain atm, but trying to hold it for higher trgts

1046
AAPL 3min chart bearish compared to SPY:  v diff intraday,

1028
imo, short term,,lower aapl, then higher for reverse quick long after short cover, then sideways,,,,long term aapl 444

1019
shorted DE, swing

954
interesting: CVX up 1.6% yet XOM down 1.4%,,the disparity is not usually THAT big, something may be going on, may be worth investigating

947
AU is doing ok this morn, nice gap up
[09:45:57] its still on a "hold 4-8 more hours long" even for quick swing, so i'm letting it settle to see what it does
[09:46:54] also its NOT yet on my "is getting weaker, dont sell the long yet, but sell it on next bounce"

Wedn thoughts

322
i am NOT adding to that multimonth hold, keeping it at 2 entries for now

322
shorted aapl here in small portfolio, diff trade than multimonth hold from b4a

315
60min bear harami on FITB, still shortable swing imo

313
[15:13:06] today looks impressive, but where is ES still after all of this? below resist 1390 on daily
[15:13:18] imo, looking at daily chart ,,,ES is still bearish here

309
i've been waiting for a few days for intc to rally ,,,,shorted intc here

300
exited UNG before getting stopped out here, 9.5% gain,,,may go higher but ung may get tired after 6% in 1 day

250
raised stop again, 1556 ung, 9% now

238
closed long in mind, 1.3% gain,,,just getting to iffy here now in the mkt to hold these, can always buy bak

233
raised ung stop to 15.47 to protect 8.5% gain

229
1579 interim UNG trgt ,,,last 1555

227
UNG is now up 5% in one day, its getting to the point where it might make senes to take it off today and look to buy again later, not taking off now but may at next resist level, below trgt

215
out of UTIW for now, breakeven after having been profitable earlier today, oh well,,, i will look to rebuy it later

201
72% sell signal ES

159
ung overshot its first trgt 1527 at 1533, but holding for higher trgts stillto 16.47 or another 8% higher

131
LOL the price of PCLN is so high, it causes intraday gaps on the 3min charts, even with 1.3million avg daily volume

131
675 and 655 trgts on PCLN short, last 709

122
shorted PCLN here, swing

110
UNG can pop higher in coming days, there are a LOT of shorts in that sector, at 5.5% gain atm but letting it ride,

105
[13:03:45] i think i made a mistake on my gain on vhc, checking record,,sorry,,i know it was a profit cuz the broker screen was green, but i exited per the chart not per what the gain screen says
[13:03:57] its less i think

101
my gain on vhc was less, only 2% gain, but it was red 5% at one point, so took the gift to exit it here

1258
i'm out of VHC for now and will look to re-enter later, i think it has higher but its at resist and made a big move already 6%, so stepping aside from this volatile stock for now

1249
if one looks beyond spy qqq ,,,,there is always something to trade in the market, some stocks up 6% today, others down 5%

1248
CAT now down to103, huge red candle and decline from 109 AH yest

1223
70% ES sell signal for short scalp, but i'm not trading it, since already have other shorts

1216
VHC on the move up 5% now 2375 last, but still see 2650 vhc later, with stops along the way,,,holding for now, may exit later on stall and reenter

1209
silver slv aqg is forming a nice bull diverg on 60min chart, might add to silver long swing, currently agq 2x is red 9% but it moves fast,,,not adding for now

1208
if FITB moves lower today, will exit the short, else will hold swing

1135
shorted FITB

1058
still keeping UTIW and MIND longs for awhile, they are partly based on earnings UTIW march 23rd candle, MIND april 4 candle

1042
new stocks added to focus list for swing shorts: CRM LULU PCLN FL TDC VMW CF NKE CNC CHS HUN CTXS RAI CFN BIG DLPH FRAN FO WFM

They need more analysis, and may or may not be ready now or later for shorts, but looking at them now.

959
CHRW transports down 6%, CAT down 2.6%, not good for industirals

953
took 6.2% profits on IMGN, still think it goes higher later, and will look for re-entry later

940
close enough, took profits on CAT 105.75 from 109.20--109.80 entries yest

936
CAT approaching the 105.55 trgt now

932
VHC is up 5% this morn

825
will take advantage of the gap up to sell the longs, even if they go higher, for some positions at least

824
I have long positions in IMGN,  MIND,  UTIW,  VHC,  that i may take profits on at the open, unsure, and also longs in AGQ,  AU,  DBA, UNG

817
ES now at the 1380 short area posted yest, so took some spxu 3x spx bear here at 9.43

812
Caterpillar profit jumps 29%, firm ups FY outlook
but stock is trading lower premarket

8:02 AM
Will cover CAT short from yest 109.10--109.80 for 105.55 if able, pre-market, may decide to cover at 106 or 107 instead. Trading at 106.80 right now

Tuesday thoughts

511
i shorted some CAT here afterhours, may add more tomorrow, instead of DOW or SPY short

400

small port sim: last 3 days (since inception): closed trades profit $994, account value increase (including unrealized gains losses) = $746 on 30,000 investment,,,,the experiment continues for now

http://www.marketwatch.com/game/christopherstockguy-public-1/portfolio/Holdings
http://www.marketwatch.com/game/christopherstockguy-public-1



out small port tna, took small profit

251
 70% buy es signal

238
small ports in ANN puts, taking it all off here, did not get target but will take the 60% gain,,,target was more but sideways can decay the puts, will look to re-enter later,,,short the underlying makes sense to hold longer halfa

235
trying TNA here

229
ANN remains on "stay short in options puts"

228
60% buy long scalp signal on es just rang, not actionable imo but suggests tighter stops if short

226
went long MIND, swing, has nothing to do with expecting spx to go higher

215
took half qid off on large port, and took all shares off in small port, will look to re-enter later maybe, 1.47% gain on QID in a few hours hold time, may also look for CHRW short or something else

159
intraday ES approaching 1364 trgt from noontime, reaction here could be impt, if it holds or breaks, "should hold" first test but looking breakable esp under the 1368 and the harsh reject on 1358 first test

158
QQQ testing the daily lows, and looks breakable for lower lows

119
ann stopped out, 1.5%ish gain scalp

113
2858 new ann stop
102
bbl, set stop 2869 v v tuite on ANN to protext 1.2%ish profits, letting qid ride

1254
large port i'll tighten qid stops on half of position, to protect 1%ish profit from trade earlier today,,,small port looser stop,,,same for ANN

1252
under 1368 intraday is now v bearish imo,,,bulls MUST get over that, its not that far away but needs to get over imo

1241
QQQ just broke the 3min chart support
nice for QID

1239
74% on es,,,,,may see its prev posted intraday trgts soon

1232
KFT and INTC are still on my focus list of dow stocks to short but they dont look ready yet, may need another 1-3 days, and may not setup at all

1226
3min chart bear desc triangles qqq es spya

1223
QQQ now breaking 3min chart support ever so slightly,,,,

1214
qqq 15min chart support looks breakable lower

1159
es 1366 and 1364ish initial trgts lower, more later poss

1157
72% sell on ES short scalp sig intraday, could bounce but getting weaker, remaining short in ann and qid for now

1144
exited TMV 2x short of tlt at 2% gain, will look to reenter lower

1134
chose QID because QQQ weaker than spy iwm dia, shorter the weaker indice instead of runup in iwm

1133
went long QID which is 2x short qqq

1128
ANN has a stoch bear dbl top on 15min, with a bear price diverg ,,macd hist still over 0 but starting to tick lower

1127
agressive short setup scalp here at 1371
[11:26:38] would need to have a loose stop,wide...OR be willing to hold overnite,, OR be willing to set a tite stop and not fearful of re-entering again
[11:26:51] could work, i'm not taking it,

1124
es 60% sell signal now, 

1121
took profits on all of BIIB in small port, 128.70,,,into strength,,,i'm getting warning bells for poss move lower, can always buy back, about 2.5% gain

1113
 still waiting for more market maker reports thru the day, but they may be pushing aapl higher b4 earnings, for a move lower in days weeks after earnings on aapl, needs more detail

1108
reshorted ANN 29.01 using the underlying not options, still have half options, if ANN moves today will take some of it off, else hold swing short, may see 2950 b4 lower but this looks good imo 2901

why short ANN when ES is not yet on an intraday sell signal? because i don't mind holding the ANN overnite swing if it does not move lower.

1058
ES is only on a 40% scalp sell short signal, not even close to the min 70% actionable and 74--85% "it moves" (intraday signal for scalps, not relev to swings)

1048
part of reason for UTIW (in addition to tech charts daily and 60min) is earnings green candle on March 22, again these earnings trades sometimes come weeks later, tho this is the third entry in UTIW long (3 roundtrip buy-sells, not scaling)

1047
i am back in UTIW long here, near 16.75ish, it may see 1650 or lower but looks good for swing imo,,,i've traded this one a few times b4

1034
BIIB hit trgt1 , up 2.1% vs es up 0.5%
small port strategy would hold longer, larger port would take some profit here at 2.4% gain

1026
 BIIB on fire now, up 2% vs ES up 0.4%

1019
imo for swings, ES still in the resist zone. this looks impressive but i'm bearish for swings while under resist

1012
BIIB outperforming mkt: BIIB is up 1.7% vs es up 0.5%

1011
many individ stocks rite now are on "hold long swing 4-8 more trading hours at least" setups

1010
1370 is bottom of the 1370--1390 ES resist zone, may stall here and pb, or continue higher into zone,,,short swing opps may present later but early now imo

1009
AU is still buyable here imo, similar to gdx or nem

1005
needs more time to be of value, but rite now AAPL is being accumulated not sold, at this price

958
CHRW up here at near 66 from 6530 short cover earlier, still waiting to re-short CHRW, too soon atm imo, for transport sect trade

952
DBA has gapped up but is still buyabvle for new entries swing here, imo, is only at beginning stage of its rally if one comes

951
TLT moving lower nicnely, good for TMV now at 1.5% gain,
still holding ANN puts

946
an excellent way to play earnings is AFTER not before, sometimes WEEKS after,,,
ex: my WMT short 2 days ago was based on WMT earnings reactino all the way back to Feb 22,, stocks tend to retest those reactions whether it was a high or low for long short

942
BIIB trgts: 128.50, 130.00, 134.00, 138.00 approx, last 127.20

939
wish i had kept a full position of BIIB yest instead of selling half, up over yesterdays high now, hindsight is 20:20 vision

933
DBA and SLV have both gapped up nicely, BIIB surgin 1% higher candle off to a great start also, i remain long in them all.
924
This may be a volatile choppy open imo, 930--1000--1030am

8:47 AM
I am cancelling the order to sell UNG placed yesterday. The order was not filled, and UNG looks like it will gap higher this morning. WIll watch action of UNG at the open and then decide if i want to exit or not.

Link to trading portfolio of posted trades

Trades can be viewed at the links below. The sample portfolio is designed for smaller starting accounts of $30 instead of the typical starting size of 100,000.

http://www.marketwatch.com/game/christopherstockguy-public-1/portfolio/Holdings

OR

http://www.marketwatch.com/game/christopherstockguy-public-1


The link above is designed for trading games.  The purpose of my game is to test the feasibility of having about 10 open positions in a trading account of 30k. The game is set up for 100k cash but only 30k is used at any given time. I chose to use 100k because the game does not always properly assign margin, especially on intraday trades. So the game says it's 100k of cash but only 30k plus margin is actually used. If you look at the position sizes and orders, you will notice that most swing positions are $2,000-- $5,000 each while intraday scalps have a wider range, sometimes between $10--20k using margin.

The portfolio does not necessarily represent the same number of shares that I purchase in my own personal real money account(s). I may purchase additional stocks in my personal account, or may elect to not personally purchase some of the simulated trades.

Monday thoughts

414
[16:13:52] techincially imo the 60min spx chart is on a sideways / lower bias , with limited upside if it comes,,but too risky for new spy short,

spx is close to setting up a quick swing trade long, but 60min chart suggests waiting 1-4 more trading hours (or until tomorrow)

357
out of half of BIIB in small port, small profit/breakeven after comm

340
strat change: took profits in small port in ABMD, may or may not hold BIIB half overnite, reduced exposure by exiting ABMD,,, 4% gain from entry this morn is a big move in 1 day,,,will look to buy ABMD back lower may be tomorrow

332
Huge green daily candle in ABMD

332
ES hit the 1363 intraday trigger, watching to see how close to 1370 it can get by 415pm, tho its late in day now


[15:22:30] UNG at 5.25% gain atm,,,larger ports would take some off here, i'm leaving it for now in small port,no action unless trgt hit today, UNG may gap higher tomorro

318
small port will exit half of BIIB long today and keep other half, since balanced with other positinos want to reduce exposure, no action yet in BIIBa

307
large port ABMD long from this morn, titening stops at 3.65% gain atm,,,smaller port letting it ride longer for now

301
ung nearing its trgt 1520 or 6%, may sell today at 358pm if its close to trgt


257
bears must push under 1358 intraday imo


254
if ES sees 1363,,will prob go over 65 toward 70

[14:53:48] thus far just a bull backtest on 3min charts ES imo, still over intradaya support

247
looking for opp to reshort CHRW transports, having take profit this morn, not ready yet, prob wont short until tomorrow or later

[14:40:16] over 1359 is bullish intraday es, imo
[14:40:32] scalp only not swing,,,1--12 week swing still on "stay short spx"
[14:40:51] not good spot to add shorts , or new ones here tho, imo

229
large port BIIB is at trgt for 25% shares, smaller port not at ttrgt and holding longer biib

219
 i'm still watchinhg 1362 reaction,,,impt intraday # imo,,,looks breakable higher
[14:19:49] 1370 ES might be shortable if it gets there

218
still see silver slv filling gap, and later 31,,32,,,33a

216
BIIB was bought at support today since its in uptrend from March 1,, es is at support too but its sideways from March 1 and downtrend from march 28...why imo BIIB better buy

211
I'll take off half BIIB longs if it gets to 126.70 ,,small port and larger port both

203
small port, took 1% daytrade gain on stx, being conservative, holding the other swings for now long and short

153
stx 15m and 60m charts have bull adams eve ,also bull asc triangle

137
it looks like ES still wants to try to dribble higher intraday here tho, last 3min pb was bouvht, still see 1362 impt # intradaya

1252
ES trying for inv HS on 15min charts

1240
ES starting to get sell short signals here,,,too weak to take actino imo,,,but i'm considering the 1362 trgt as hit, made 1361,, es still looks breakable higher

1227
es 1362 is new intraday resist, but not shortable imo, looks like wants higher, scalp

1223
1362 es key # imo,,,esp if it gets over it

1209
ABMD has managed to break over friday's high, should continue higher now

1205
the ES rose prematurely b4 the 10 candles, suggests poss test of the 1362 scalp trgt

1159
small port adding more stx here to give ebough shares to scalp it

 1148
ES next pb may present opp for long scalp too,,,but needs more time..maybe 5--10 or more candles on 3min charts

 1139
slv looks like it wants to break higher to fill gap, scalps swings there could work too tho i'm not scalping it, swing only

1362 still es mini trgt, failure to get that by 2pm would poss be v bearish for swings imo
[11:38:07] would suggest poss lower low intraday
[11:38:20] but atm, looks like it will try for 1362 higher

1133
If UNG can get to 15.20 i'll take 6-7% gains there, 100% all for small port, 25-50% for large port, and will look for poss reentry

1121
ANN is NOT participating in the ES rally here, ann she may be in troublea

1113
stx broke 2930, watchin for 2950 test, larger positions would take off some at 2950, smaller port would hold longer for 3100

1111
1362 es mini trgt, 1358 last

1109
IMGN up 1.5% from this morn entry, small port would hold it longer, larger positions would take 25-50% off

1107
stx trying to wake up but needs over 2930 to get 2950 and 3100 trgts, 2930 resist , last 2920a

1055
2950, 3100, and 3150 stx trgts, trying for 3100 if possible today

1048
agressive could scalp long here spy tna qqq etc but im not taking it, using individ stocks

1046
long STX 2908, to scalp if it moves today, or swing if not...
buying strength not weakness, diff strat on STX

1036
 aapl multiweek months short is at a 7%ish loss atm, still see 444 aapl later, not adding to the position here, this may take awhile to reach target, with stops along the way

1026
From Jan 1 charts to present, i'd rather be long BIIB than SPY, much diff charts

1026
 traded this one b4, exited awhile ago, now back in, long swing
