I'm a swing trader of momentum stocks with a holding period of anywhere from a few hours to a few months. I run a number of screens to locate the strongest/weakest stocks out there, using technical analysis to determine my entries and exits. Trying to calculate the intrinsic value of stocks in ...more

Wednesday, August 13, 2014 7:53 AM EDT
OptionScientist, do you have a chart of option performance going back several years? I would like to compare the current action to past stock-market corrections.

Weak Retracement
Tuesday, August 12, 2014 5:41 AM EDT
This low volume Monday appeared to end on a whimper, as the major indices ended at their lows of the day. Combined with the large fade in the afternoon, that’s a clue to me that the equities may be going down as early as Tuesday, so I wanted to put up a quick post to quickly warn Zentraders.

Investor Cycle Sell-Off In Crude
Tuesday, August 12, 2014 2:55 AM EDT
Crude is clearly locked into an Investor Cycle sell-off and traders know it. The massive speculative Long positions that accumulated during the preceding months are now working against the traders that took them.

Stock Market - Don't Fool Me Twice!
Monday, August 11, 2014 5:14 AM EDT
“Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me”. It is remarkable how much insight that one simple phrase can provide for the stock market.

Price Stabilizes Friday
Monday, August 11, 2014 4:13 AM EDT
About 9 days ago, the markets experienced a 300+ point shock event down. However, that shock event’s price appears to be stabilizing after Friday’s large PPT reversal bounce (which began 4 hours after the Japan market open, when the Nikkei was down over 400 points).

A Stock To Watch - Gentherm Incorporated (THRM)
Sunday, August 10, 2014 9:23 AM EDT
I like the strength of THRM on the weekly for a decent swing trade setup after it has a further sell off. It could just keep going up, but if I was going to take a position in this stock I'd need to see it pullback to the $33-36 range.

Buy The Dip Is Now Sell The Rip
Monday, August 4, 2014 9:51 AM EDT
A buy-the-dip type of stock market is a classic example of a market in which the age-old advice, Buy low – Sell high, actually works.

Healthcare Sector In Focus
Friday, August 1, 2014 11:35 AM EDT
Keep your eyes on the healthcare sector in the coming 3-6 weeks as this could provide some decent swing trading opportunities. Nearly all of these charts have had follow through since their breakout, but I want to see additional strength on these daily charts before I attempt to buy a pullback.

S&P Has Topped For This Daily Cycle
Friday, August 1, 2014 10:24 AM EDT
The S&P has been invincible of late, but I believe its days are now numbered. Of course, I’m talking strictly about this current Daily Cycle only, as we all know too well that the longer term trend is in a runaway or parabolic like state.

Strength In Aluminum Stocks Good For Markets
Thursday, July 24, 2014 9:40 AM EDT
AA and CENX showed up on my momentum scans today not because they had big moves, but because the overall strength of their trend is so strong. It's generally a good thing for the general markets when this sector is doing well and we can often expect the markets to continue to rise.

Look At This Stock - CBSO
Tuesday, July 22, 2014 3:00 AM EDT
I really meant to post this update over the weekend so obviously it's not going to have the impact as this stock spiked over 4% today, but I think there's more upside in this one to be had. Technically it has a very clear channel forming and it should have no problem getting back to the upper trend

Market Timing Signal: Clear Skies Ahead
Tuesday, July 15, 2014 10:24 AM EDT
The general markets have been on shaky grounds per my timing signal in March - June and while the markets have rallied since then it just as easily could have gone the other way.

Proof S&P Won't Top 2050 Through August
Monday, July 7, 2014 4:04 AM EDT
To summarize last week’s market analysis (available HERE) buying Calls* (Long Calls) becomes more profitable than selling Puts* (Naked Puts) only in the strongest of strong Bull markets, identified here as Bull Market Stage 1 – the “lottery fever” stage.

Props To The Fed For It's Prop Job
Wednesday, July 2, 2014 10:47 AM EDT
Ya gotta give the Feds their due credit with this melt up job they've created. We all hear the "don't fight the fed" adage time and time again but do we always listen? My long term timing indicator for the Nasdaq has flipped bullish, so the bulls look like they are having their day in the sun.

Selling Puts Vs. Buying Calls In Bull Markets
Tuesday, July 1, 2014 10:52 AM EDT
Who gets the bigger profit; Put sellers or Call buyers? It turns out the answer is as important for stock traders as it is for option traders.Put options are really nothing more than insurance policies that pay a stock owner in case the stock price falls below a pre-determined level.
