Week In Review: February 3-7, 2020

Week in Review: February 3-7, 2020

This past week seemed to be somewhat of a return to normalcy after the last 4 weeks of absolute chaos. TSLA ate up a lot of mental capital this week on its run but there were still plenty of opportunity in other names. Trends seemed slower this week but longer...

Free Scan Sunday: Stocks to Watch for Monday February 3, 2020

Very good timing last Sunday to discuss what sector trades actually were, the importance of understanding that everything else related to the company takes a back seat -- until the momentum fizzles off. They build off one another and I missed a few prime examples of...

Week in Review: January 27-31, 2020

Another great week to close out the first month of 2020. This week had clean trends and multi-day runs. The Virus-related names gave great opportunities along with the all the normal setups we trade. Like last week there was more short plays then what has been the...

Really amazing week last week - putting what I talked about on Sunday scan to use A+ set ups, being patient and really didn't run into any hiccups. Caught a bunch of intraday offerings just by what we always talk about #KnowWhatYouOwn -- Surprisingly many held well...

Week in Review: January 21-24, 2020

It was a short week this week but definitely not short on trading setups. It seems like every week since I started doing this I always say how crazy the last week was and then when I write a new one it makes the last week seem tame in comparison. From news to...

Market continues to impress - trades are NOT going away. Been amazing. Tonight's focus on the video is: 1. When there is NOT an A+ set up - what do you do? Do you trade the open? Pre Market? etc. Does it take your focus from what MAY become an A+ set up shortly after...

Week in Review: January 13-17, 2020

I am not sure how to describe the market conditions. Incredible or insane are the only two words that come to mind. There are opportunities across the board for day and swing traders. We have a lot of members that are only able to trade for an hour or so each day and...

Great way to start the year! Amazing opportunities - the cheap names really kicked it into high gear early in the week but it's a good reminder to know when to push the gas and when to take your foot off it. Had about 5-7 big gappers in a row in the sub .50 range that...

Week in Review: January 6-10, 2020

This week was pretty straight forward with clean trends and stocks reacting to key levels. If you took time over the weekend to find those levels you should have had a great week. Shoot me an email with some of the tickers you traded and I will send over chat logs on...

Nice way to kick off the New Year everyone! I did NOT expect INPX do go that amazingly from .11x's but hey can't complain about that. Most importantly I checked off the box of not over staying - which I did on half of LMPX. I felt like I got a good piece of this INPX...

Week in Review: December 23-27, 2019

I hope everyone had a great Christmas. This week was a bit funky with a half day Tuesday and no trading Wednesday. There were still ample opportunities to round out the year on a strong note. A lot of members and moderators had their best year ever in 2019. If you are...

As I always remind folks -- my plan is to never trade 15 names. My plan is to stay familiar with names so that when the moves happen I'm that much quicker. Had I not had LAIX on scan Wednesday/Thursday I wouldn't have given it the time of day that I did right off the...
