Nas' Swing Trades and Results

Recommended Posts

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...

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

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.

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.

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

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

Just saw this post. I checked the prices on the three stocks you mentioned Nov 13, and it would have been a nice win if even shares were applied to all three.  BBBY+1.31, NTLA-4.82, BECN+6.63. (according to finviz this morning) 312 bucks on a 5963 investment given 100 shares on each stock. Better than 5% as of today! (I think my math is correct). I really liked your strategy on these. Do you think you would have held the swing that long? I've held a lot longer on trades and done a lot worse. lol!

Great post!

Regards,

Stuart

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

Been out of Swinging recently, as we had lots of good day trade opportunities, but here are 3 I like. Market has pulled back, so may be a good time to go long on some strong stocks. All 3 finished up strong.

 

TickerL Zuo

Strong close on Daily and hourly basis, crossed over 20 MA

Buy on Gap up in the morning,  Stop Low of today. First Target 24.55

TickerL AYX

Strong close up, closed above home base..

Buy on gap up, Stop, low of today, targets, 1st scale 74, ultimate 79 - Near 52 week High.

Ticker:KL

Closed above 20 MA, filled Gap from Breakdown candle, moved lower, but close above 20 MA in green candle

Haven't posted in a while, with summer months, going to be swing trading more as we lack volatility at the opens..

Took a small position on HRB at 28.09 stop 27.75

- Bounce off 50 MA and Green candle and Gap up. First target 28.75, hopefully market will co-operate - looking for a buck with 0.35 risk 1:3.

Okay out of the position, 50% at 28.74, balance at $29.0 don't want to hold going into weekend and G20.

made $0.78 with $0.35 risk 2.2:1 Factor not bad. Only did a 100 shares though 😞

@Brian Pez, anything I could have done better here ?

Took up a small position in CRM today - Bought 75 @ $150.33 Stop $148.33 - Seems to be in a downtrending channel short term, but bounced off 100 MA as well as medium term trending support line. It had 50/50 chance of breaking down further or as it can, it may run up. Will move Stop to 149.33 - Initial Target is 153.50 - will scale another piece around 155 - will keep last to run past 157.. Depends on market conditions. Institutions seem to be stepping back in to this strong performer.

Exited CRM for 154.64 - for a $4.31 profit risking $2.00 - this can run over the next few days but don't want to hold in short week - Lack of volume and catalysts made the Gap up in the market the only good thing, volume and volatility dried up quickly - take profits and rest....
