KGC Trading Idea
Nice up move in the market today. Too bad volume was subpar. We’ll have to see if the market confirms its direction in the days ahead. Until then the market proves otherwise, I’ll still be looking for longs. KGC is going to give us an opp...
NILE trading opportunity
Here’s a trading idea that is set to pop. While I was scanning through charts this evening, I came across NILE. NILE is forming a nice bullflag. Volume is in decline as the flag forms which is positive for this formation. Let’s take a lo...
Profiting from Double Bottoms
Tonight’s trade is brought to you by GT. This stock is forming a very nice double bottom. I don’t trade double bottoms as often as flags, triangles, or bases simply because they don’t form as often. But if you can find a nice one li...

An object in motion tends to stay in motion. Newton’s first law has application in the stock market. AGU is a great example. In late August the stock broke out and has been in motion since. At the end of last week, the move begin to slow, we ju...

Tonight’s trade is brought to you by FCX. FCX has run up after bouncing of its 200 SMA. The stock flirted with it’s 50 day SMA then retreated. FCX is now over it’s 50 SMA, forming a base and is poised to move higher. \nNow the negat...

Swing Trade - Long WNG Entry: 85.50 Stop: 80.50 Target: 100.00
Tonight’s trade comes courtesy of WNG: If I had to pick a problem with this formation it would be the timing. We’re in the end stages of a bull market. I am hesitant to establish new long trades, so I’m treating this as a short ter...
Swing Trade - Long LIFC Entry: 32.70 Stop 31.00 Target: 37.00
Nice ascending triangle forming in LIFC. I like the fact that this is the third touch of the top trendline. If it doesn’t break out in the next couple of sessions, I’d look else where. Also BA is working out very nicely. ...
Swing Trade - Long BA Entry: 101.40 Stop: 99.50 Target: 110.00
Today’s trade is a bit of a slow mover, but the cup with handle BA is carving out is impeccable. My target is based on the move from the bottom of the cup to the top of the handle. Honestly, I will wait and see what the price action dictates. ...
Swing Trade - Long CBD Entry: 40.60 Stop: 38.00 Target: 46.00
I haven’t put a chart up, but if you look at the DOW it would appear that the bull market is on hold, at least temporarily. You want to approach any swing trade with caution untill the market picks a direction. Because we’re technically s...
Swing Trade - Long EUR/USD Entry 1.36385 Stop 1.35679 Target: N/A
Interesting opportunity in the Euro. I would suspect if resistance breaks here that it will be a long climb. However, this is only the second test of major resistance. Ideally, I would like to see this attempt fail, price would fall back down and in...

Hi All I’m back from some much needed time off. During my vacation, I thought long and hard about what this blog was going to be about. The answer is a source for trading ideas like the tag line states. For a short time, I started to drift from...
