Scan for 05/20/20 From Nate

by | May 19, 2020

I’ll be back good to go Thursday guys I’ll be on/off tomorrow as well and heading home.

Thanks for patience but as you saw – chat is running really well. Thank you for everyone stepping up and also those keeping it in check. Truly appreciate it.

PDD monster trade from scan last night – if I was there full steam that would have been my go to along with SRNE and MRNA

Got a good piece of the MRNA fade from the trade idea posted, some AMD PENN etc — decent day despite trading light. Everything worked.

AMD was straight up my go to trade of choice to short the market – great heads up by Stapes.

Added some GSX short into the squeeze but covered that into the close – not looking to build a short unless it starts unwinding. Will continue to trade with that thesis in mind.

Here’s the newest and youngest member to #TeamIU

Main Watches:

MRNA big snap AHs I’d like to stay shorting big moves for the unwind. Great fades today – covered a bit too early if you look at AHs but hey, that’s okay. Great call by stapes re: market when MRNA started to get hit.

NNDM algo is back – huge volume. Up big AHs – expected the unexpected. I believe this is dual listed so anything can happen over night.

PENN higher better but looking for the post squeeze unwind soon. Faded it a bit today into the close w/ the failed follow through set up.

Failed Follow Through:

ACB nice short idea from scan last night – traded the thesis I wrote based off RAD. Didn’t need the top. Perhaps I was too safe but again, I’m not full strength until Thursday.

FSCT higher better again and unwind.

NVAX watch with MRNA INO etc.

JD good trades today – higher better for back side unwind.

SRNE home run trade today – I had a lot of PMs of traders who felt they were chasing and missed because of that. The simple solution on a trade like this when you know it’s gonna unwind but don’t want to chase candles — is to use chase size. Example: I want to short 10k shares to use an easy number — I may CHASE 500 starter, 500 add if right … then have 1k just to be there fails again double to 2k … fails a key level go to 5k etc… all starts with 500 shares vs. the 10k goal. If you have emotion chasing 5k down yes, you should could snap back .50 that may be too much for you. So think in terms of scaling. Anyway. Higher better cautious being aggressive given the move down but higher better for fades.

GSX looking to short all ramps sub VWAP — prefer not to be fighting trend.

Retail Names:

M higher better and unwinds

KSS fader today – looking to trade with BBBY etc again. Will start to watch retail as opportunity.

Continuation:

MITO trading swing around core – really nice opportunities. $1.8x’s was the idea said not to chase high $1.9x’s just wait for dips got another chance in the $1.8x’s. $2.4x’s + hit today locked some around core.

ACY light vol – hit scanner today accumulation. Nothing I’m excited about unless gets out of hand.

NAVB big picture idea.

Staying Familiar:

Follow I want to set price alerts on! Should produce some GREAT trades soon. Just like PDD today and JD etc. LVGO DDOG all came from STAYING FAMILIAR

  1. Great scan. Thank you ! One more to be familiar with SLRX. It has run up the last few days quietly on earnings.
    AH today pushed up 37%.

    Look left, it’s got room. Resistance at $2 but then clean up to $3-4+. Last July ran to $23 & Aug to $13. Closed AH at $1.24

  5. Thanks Nate. I really took the time tonight to look left and set price alerts on most of these and have a strong game plan for the first 30 minutes of trading when I usually get lost in the weeds trying to keep up with the chatter in the room. I’ve got my own short list to focus on right out of the gate and price alerts for the rest so I can, to paraphrase, En Vogue “free my mind and the rest will follow”.
