I think according to my rules, all 3 would have stopped out. If you held long, yes they would have worked out, but I would have re-entered if they triggered when the market started its next up-leg. The only things I hold long are INDEX funds like TQQQ, SQQQ or FFTY

Adding 1 to my watchlist for short term swing trades CIEN Crossed 20 day MA. Buy on Gap higher tomorrow. STOP 37.10, First target 40.00 (52 week high)

Entered KDP Today at open as the higher Gap open triggered an entry and it broke above the downtrending line (yellow) on volume. Entry was at 26.71 with an initial stop at 26.30. It closed at 27.22 and moved the stop now to 26.55, looking for it to break the breakdown candle high from Nov 20th over the next few days. First target is 27.75 and than 28.50 EQT has not triggered an entry... @Brian Pez

The EQT Trade did not trigger as it opened lower than yesterday's close. The market is going to need to digest the Huwei news and any new trades now should be done with caution. I am looking to take a small position on KDP Entry: Open higher than close on Gap and Volume (1/4 position) Add: Break of 26.60 and lower trend line Stop: 25.84 First Target: 27 Ultimate: 28.49 fyi @Brian Pez

Haven't been very active in Swing trading, took some good trades on TWLO and , CTRE and STOR in the past, worked out., Here is what I am watching for next week, Stock: EQT Corporation Symbol: EQT Summary: Stock crossed 20 MA on Daily Chart, it has been making consistent higher Lows since Nov 19th, 2018. Poised to go higher. Entry: Open on Gap up Monday on volume Stop: $18.75 First Target: $20.85 (Based on Down Trend Line and Gap Down Candle from 25 Oct 2018 More Targets: $21.95 (Gap Fill and ultimately $26.00) FYI - Could be a good all Day hold or Day Trade Candidate as well. @Brian Pez

Update. YETI is still working for me. It managed up almost 4.5% to $18.25 even in a weak market. I will continue to hold today but may cut as earnings are Oct 29 and I don’t want to hold through them. Ideally 5% on half position than move the balance to 1% but I will cut full position on strength today.

Okay so the only stock that worked for me was YETI, I bought at 17.46, it went all the way up to 18.12 for a profit of 3.72% (I am looking to cut 1/2 at 5%). It closed 17.57, I know there are earnings on the 29th, but I think it will give us a little play as it builds up towards earnings. The market is keeping it down... IMHO These are the ones I am following now: Propetro Holdings: short term target 20.50 US Sililca Holdings : Gap filled looking for short term rise And I am still looking at CROX - Nice Pull Back

I also like SQ, held the bottom after filling Gap from Oct 31st.., series of higher lows..., could go higher, at least we can leverage this info for Day Trading perhaps...

I really like AAPL which could make the whole market bounce... Looks long, first target is gap fill with initial rejection at 200 than target 2 202... Hope this is a buy week, lets see.

Thanks @Brian Pez!

My watchlist for next week, not posting entry or exits, but I think these should perform well if the market recovers. I would look at pull backs to build positions gradually. ANAT: holding up well here \ Croc: Strong earnings, pull back from 52 week high ADP: holding up well BLL: Strong earnings, trending up, wait for pull back to 10 Day MA or technical pattern NTGR: Tight Flag (triangle - look for breakouts....) One more higher risk. YETI: fresh IPO, forming first base, could break out. .

Posting a monthly of the SPY, as you can see last month and this month it lowered to touch the trend line as well as the 20 MA. This would be normally bullish for long-term. However, one could also interpret a Head and shoulders pattern forming, this wont be confirmed until a break below 254.60. As traders, our job is not to call the market, but react to what it gives us. I will post some setups later, but we need to follow tight spots, also I would only build outlay 24-50% capital right now till we get confirmation. Beauty of swing trading is it follows market direction mostly, less setups and more stop outs mean weakness, more setups and more break-outs mean bullish and invest more. Caution is the operative word right now. fyi @Brian Pez

Lots of stuff setting up, will post later, market is very indecisive, all we can do is not call the market but react to it.

Nothing triggered today, and I stayed out of opening long Swing positions, did some day trades though... worked well. Some interesting setups forming, will post over weekend.

Good cll on BABA, China stocks a little volatile these days but this is a solid company for the slightly longer short-term
