See 22 July, 2013 post
Last Friday (19.07.2013) I bought BIIB @ 228.10 and LNKD @ 203 ;
always open KKD , bought on April 9 (after my report of April 7 on StockTwits) that I had not closed by mistake (this stock had gone in stop loss but I had not placed in the Broker's platform (!!!), which proves that in trading, as in life, we also need a lot of luck considering that it gains + 30%...)

Due to illness, I have not posted last Friday but, Thursday, insanity involved FEIC; it open to + 1.5% and in a matter of seconds falls down to - 4.5%; given that I don't like stocks with these movements (among my selection factors there is also a volatility not excessive), I put a sell order @ 63 and I closed the position with a gain of + 11%. A bit of luck does not hurt me!

Today I realized that for an input error in the broker platform , January 16th I have not sold the entire position (180) of CYBX but only 100 so I left open a position of 80 stocks, and by removing the order line on the platform and not checking the broker daily activity statement , I saw today only!
From 16 January the stock is collapsed and I closed the rest of position today with a loss of - 14% !!!

Yesterday I have closed some positions:
CTRX: 51.71 = - 1.15%
CYBX: 53.36 = - 0.35%
PDFS: 15.44 = + 4.7%
RNF: 46.16 = + 11.90%
I am ready to close other positions; too many are weak and if the market goes down, they should suffered a loss.
I may be wrong but since the market is close to a top-of-cycle I think that in this and the next quarter there will be a lot of volatility and a lot of false signals

Even if indexes are in slight decline, several leading stocks continue to outperform.
SSYS
(reported November 23th and traded without success from November 26th to December 4th, now + 23% from my exit point !) are one of the best stocks of the last two weeks.
AMZN
(that I posted Saturday in my Italian blog Chartpatternstrader.blogspot.it/) has breakout the CwH pattern with high volume (+ 45% compared to MA50) reaching the new all time high.
CTRX
ELLI
CYBX
PCLN (IBD 85, with EPS rating 99 and RS only 55)
PDFS (thinny stock!)
Yesterday I bought 2 stocks in good rally :
OCN
(@ 35.07 on pocket pivot with wolume + 140%, IBD rating 99)
stop loss below MA 50
RNF
(@ 41.25 on flat base pattern breakout to all time high with volume + 100%; IBD rating 92)
stop loss 40.30
Short term positions.
Stop loss: slightly below the most "reliable" support close to - 5% or - 6%.

December 27th - Update
Yesterday, in opening session, I have closed my long positions:
CRM @ 169.15 (+ 5% gain)
UPRO @ 88.51 (-1,50% loss)
In this "yo-yo market", the breakout approach is not effective, and trades in loss increase.
In the best case scenario (new bullish wave), that is not the most likely scenario, my Hot List is:
> for intermediate trading (1-2 months, - 5% stop loss): ASGN, BOFI, CHS, CTRX, CYBX, DE, FAF, FEIC, ELLI, EQIX, RAX
> for swing trading (max 5 days, - 3% stop loss): EEFT, SIRO, MHO, TRMB, VVI, VMED, AIR, VMC, FCN
For now, I wait and see.

October 23th - Premarket
Yesterday, on the mid-session bounce, I've closed all my long positions; the decline was in an impulsive pattern and I feared a collapse; ASR + 7%; MA + 1%; SXL 0; DXPE = - 5%.
Others leaders have fallen, such as ELLI and GNC
Better to see from outside the market developments even if I could lose a good buy opportunity.
ElwaveSurfer 10/23/2012
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
October 22th
Friday October 20, in the mid session, I was sorely tempted to close all my long positions because the down move shoved an impulsive structure and my 3 main scenarios have shown themselves unable to interpret the market movement.
In the end, I just closed only GPS because, for the second time, has dropped below the buy point (I only lost commissions).
My stock portfolio has a poor performance: DXPE and SXL in small loss, MA and ASR in small gain.
But this week I must not complain; luckily last Monday I sold GOOG, I avoided the collapse on Thursday.
However, there is something in the market that fails to convince me, too many leaders have collapsed this week or Friday also with strong volume; AAPL, ALXN, ALGN, MLNX, SWI, CELG, PNRA, LOPE, LULU, PCYC, XXIA, .....
This is a bad sign...
ElwaveSurfer 10/22/2012

October 19th - Pre-market
Yesterday Chris Kacher MDM model turn to SELL after GOOG selloff.
I am ready to close all my long position.
ElwaveSurfer 10/19/2012
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
October 16th - Update on close.
Yesterday stop loss on GOOG (-4%); bad trade from the beginning, created as swing and taking too long, in this case the rule of five days is essential;
today stop-loss on GWW (-5%); big mistake, I had noted the third-quarter earnings for October 18 instead of today!!!)
Today buy signal on DXPE and SXL.
ElwaveSurfer 10/16/2012
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
October 14th - Update
My stock list for this week:
> intermediate: CTRX, ELLI , GNC, DXPE, CRM

> swing: VASC

My Us stock portfolio (about 15% of my assets) is down on average of -4%.
It 's my worst week of this year.
Only GWW is up; MA, GPS, ASR, GOOG, all down.
I'm waiting for pullback to close some position; this "hope" is dangerous in this market...
technically, all these positions must already be closed!
ElwaveSurfer 10/12/2012

October 09th- Update on close
Bad day.
I consider this a "yellow light" environment and that means being much more defensive in my trades.

Stock List update September 08th
Yesterday I close ULTA (+7%); the recent experience of TFM (see below) made me think quickly, and then I bought another stock in gap up (PETM), which is nailed by 3 weeks (I had already to sell it).
I keep everything else.
Elwave Surfer 09/08/2012
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stock List update September 07th in real time
ULTA, bought yesterday, had a gap up in today's open.
E.S
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stock List update September 06th
The market has made a good breakout, and so many stocks: ACAT, AZZ, EW, ULTA, FLT, HD.
Today: new long on EW, ULTA, FLT, HD; exit on GRA (stop loss).
My "intermediate" stock portfolio: OSIS, CHS, PETM, REGN, RGLD, DVA, DISCA, WAC, MKC, EW, ULTA, GWW (bought it for wrong order); I'm waiting for HCII and/or PNRA and/or ACAT (lost today) , with simultaneous sell on GWW and other two or three weak stocks.
My "swing" stock portfolio (average duration 3-5 days): CAB, JAH, FLT, HD; I'm waiting for a last position amoung: CBM or PAA... or AAPL!
I've not respected one of my money management rules: "diversify but not overdo it", and this will cause some problems.
These are too many positions (whereas I have also 5 positions in Italian Stock Market) thus increases difficulty to follow them well...also because I'm a part time trader.
A lot of stress, but at least no research and analysis, management orders only .
I hope I don't go crazy.

Stock List update September 05th
WAC rises further , DVA breaks, GWW falls, PCYC falls very hard (sold)
......... and FRAN collapses !!! (I sold in loss...from + 9% to - 2%!).
ElwaveSurfer 09/05/2012
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stock List update September 04th
Today, the indexes end mixed (Nasdaq rose 0.3% and S&P500 fell 0.1%) while almost all stocks in my weekly Hot List reported yesterday outperform;
WAC makes an excellent breakout (+ 12% from my first buy signal; + 10% from the second) with very good volume (+ 300% on MA50d);
also CAB in a swing trade (+ 2,90% from my buy signal)
Other stocks in breakout: DISCA, GRA, MKC, JAH; ready AWH, EW, GWW.
Still surprising the strengh proven by SWI and MLNX (no long positions on these leader stocks...)
I am almost fully invested (too much long positions), the risk is very high, perhaps too high, so I'm considering a possible coverage of my portfolio with a put index option and rotation between stocks (if I'm lucky that the market goes up , I close the weak positions and open new long on breakouts)
ElwaveSurfer 09/04/2012
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stock List update for this week September 03th -7th
Exit on AAPL, FLXS, KORS.
OSIS, FRAN, PETM keep the prices.
Good CHS, PCYC, REGN, RGLD.
For the medium-term trading:
> Close to a possible breakout: DISCA, ULTA, DKS, DVA, EW, ARSD, ACAT, AWH or better HCII (same Industry Group);
> Stocks that are still forming a base: CTRX, GNC

The importance of the stop.
Tuesday, in the end of the session, I open a long swing trade on TFM on a pocket pivot;
the day after the earnings report would come out; and even though we should never are in trading at this this (as he says Dan Zanger), looking at the increasing volumes on the hourly chart I choose to take the risk.Tuesday, in the end of the session, I open a long swing trade on TFM on a pocket pivot;
TFM opens with a gap breakout + 6% and begins to descend immediately; I close in a few minutes to + 3%; the risult ad the end of the day: - 6%, with volumes of 500% above the MM 50 d!
These things are not often seen, and stop always helps.

DO HOMEWORK IS ALWAYS VERY IMPORTANT!
One
of the most interesting stocks of recent months, with highly rated and very
solid core, is
Mellanox Technologies (MLNX), the Israel-based company leader in Ethernet and Infiniband
networking technology; in assessments, according to the O'Neil CANSLIM method, it constantly
record the maximum values (overall
ratings from 97 to
99, where 100 is the top of the
tops);
high profitability, high relative strength, rate of acceleration in earnings growth, leadership, institutional sponsorship.
Some months ago I tried to open a long position on this stock but it never formed a sound base pattern, which when broken to the upside, is my classic buy signal.

Some months ago I tried to open a long position on this stock but it never formed a sound base pattern, which when broken to the upside, is my classic buy signal.
However, if we look the chart (do own homework is always very important!) a secondary buy signal occurred
on April 19, when the stock showed a pocket pivot
buy point in
gap up * (around
$ 43).
Then the stock peaked at $ 77.69 on July 5 and corrected until Monday 17 to $ 62.24;

yesterday was earning
date and insiders
have bought the stocks that
has rebounded + 6.65%
Why? Probably because "someone" knew that the earnings and sales
report would have been better
than expected
....in fact in after-hours trade MLNX shot up more than 40%
because posted triple-digit profit and sales
for Q2 Increases!
It's the same old story:
It's the same old story:
IN UPTREND BUY ON STRENGHT THE HIGH-QUALITY STOCKS WITH
HIGHEST OVERALL RATING AND KEEP
THEM AS LONG AS
POSSIBLE,
DON'T BUY ON WEAKNESS ANY STOCKS; AT BEST, NOT GOING ANYWHERE!
AND A BIT OF LUCK NOT FAULTY...

Stock List Update for this week July 09th - 13th 2012
Good WNR, SAM, SPSC, suffering ALXN, stop loss on TCBI and SXCI
GNC had a good buy signal on June 29 but I could not open a long position and now I'm waiting for a new opportunity;
Some stocks with very good fundamentals and next to a bullish breakout flat base pattern:
Also interesting:
VAL, AAPL, SWI, MA, BWLD (or PZZA), ISRG, CAB, CHS, PCLN, SWKS, EQIX
Stop loss from -5% to -8%.
NOTE: the market is in upward correction that's ending, so the risk is very high;
only small positions, and the highest portion of my portfolio in CASH
Have a great trading day and week...with great caution !!!
