short term stock trading (US markets)

WinningStockTrader · Apr 5, 2011

Hi. I will be posting here my trades and a few charts.

All of my orders are placed before market opening. I don't follow the market intraday.

I will try to post 20-30 minutes before market opening. Cheers
See you tomorrow.

new trades:
NCR long: buy stop 19.16, stop loss 18.93
AKAM short: sell limit 37.77, stop loss 38.48

LONG NCR:

underperforming lately, but
it's a just a consolidation after
the big january and february
high volume moves.

it's trying to break out from
a tight resitence area,
buying above yesterdays high.

SHORT AKAM

shorting limit on a pullback,
expecting techs to open up today.

relative weakness for AKAM,
unable to close at the high of the day
after the gap down,
lots of downside space in stochastics

strenght for PDS
vs the other oil stocks.
(oil price going higher and
technically good).
Buying above yesterday's high.
Yesterday's tight range

MOS: shorting on a pullback, weakish
action and volume for this stock.
stochastic crossover and it just
broke the upside channel

ONNN SHORT

relative weakness for this
semiconductors stock, unable
to bounce from march lows.
not a green candle in 13 days...

We had an inside day yesterday
which give us a good a risk-reward
trade. Shorting below April 7 low

SHORT JKS

very narrow range in tha last
3 days on support,
shoring on a break of this range

BRCM SHORT

medium term relative weakness
vs other semiconductors
stock, right on the 200 days moving
average and long term support.
it bounced back a little lately and it's
on a key level.
shorting below yesterdays low.

SHORT LDK

a tight range for the last few days
gives us a good risk-reward
entry point.
upside channel broken, stochastic is bearish
heading to 10.50$ major support
(which is also around the 200 days
moving average)

shorting market, STOP above
yestedays high

limit entry was kind of conservative, but you never know with those jumpy fertilizer stocks...

-----------------------------------
new trades:
EJ short: sell stop 12.56, stop loss 12.80

good rebound for EJ following
most of chinese stocks...
it failed at gap resistence and
it's likely to resume the main trend
which is down.

shorting below yesterdays low with
stop above yesderdays close

Jackn8 · Apr 14, 2011

Those solars had a good rally yesterday, Im surprised LDK gave it all back so quickly

WinningStockTrader · Apr 15, 2011

previous day:
EJ short: not triggered, canceled

open positions:
BRCM short: buy market

--------------------------
new trades:
MTW long, buy stop 21.40, stop loss 20.93

MTW: relative strenght in the strong construction machinery sector. Buying above yesterdays high. Looks a good play if the markets hold up. Stochastics about to crossover, and very healthy volume for all year long. It already broke intraday gap resistence.

WinningStockTrader · Apr 18, 2011

previous day:
MTW long: bought 21.41, no change
----------------------------------------
closed trades:
BRCM short (38.83), 38.16 (market), +1.75%
-----------------------------------------
new trades:
CLF short: sell stop 93.97, stop loss 95.25
Double inside day for CLF on a tight rage. Triple top in the last 2 months with negative volume action after February pop up. Very good risk-reward ratio

WinningStockTrader · Apr 19, 2011

previous day:
CLF short: not triggered (high of the day was 1.53% away from our entry price, see the rule on orders page at http://www.winningstocktrader.com)

------------------------
new trades:
WTW long: buy stop 75.28, stop loss 73.71
PDC long: buy stop 15.22, stop loss 14.94

long WTW

very strong action
recent market correction
didn't damage WTW chart
buying on a new 52w high

long PDC

new 52 weeks high, very strong
action on this oil drilling stock,
untouched by S&P outlook on the US
and buy oil correction.
buying on a new high

WinningStockTrader · Apr 20, 2011

previous day:
WTW long: bought, no change
PDC long: bought, no change
----------------------------------------
new trades:
AG long: buy market, 75 cents trailing stop
PCLN long: buy market, 15 dollars trailling stop
TDC long: buy stop 51.44, stop loss 50.84

AG LONG

doji (and inside day) on the 20
day moving average aftera an ABC
correction, AG is ready to resume
the uptrend, it's probably
gapping up, buying with trailing stop

despite the red volume, AG
showed again relative strenght
vs t he other silver stocks in the last
3 days

hold well support on the intraday chart,
which means strenght is not over

LONG PCLN

chinese internet stocks are flying
PCLN is not chinese..., but it's
still a leading internet stock, with
a nice tight consolidaton that
just broke out yesterday

LONG TDC

a tight bollinger squeeze after
a long consolidation, which
gives us a lot of potential upside,
buying on a new 52 weeks high

gktk · Apr 20, 2011

interesting calls, why would AG today be a market buy order when the majority are buy stops?
