Your Trade Ideas For 7-19-12

A few setups to consider….

Everybody’s favorite stock $AAPL may start a pre-earnings run if it can break this small downtrend line.

$FRO which recently looked more like a long setup is now below 20/50/200ma’s and looks like a short if it breaks the bottom of this range.

Red reversal hammer closing below the 200ma after a strong gap up out of a range tells me that $FTEK might be ripe for a day trade short below yesterday’s candle.

Break of an intermediate trendline in $FXCM and an NR7 bar compressed between the 200 and 50ma may set up a short below yesterday’s candle.


Red reversal hammer at a double top area may set up a short below yesterday’s candle with a target of the 20ma in $LPX.

Rare earths like $MCP looked like they might have been perking up recently, but a break below this support level would be a short.

$MHR is another company that I have no idea what they do, but a break below this support level (after numerous tests) would be a short.  May need a day or two more.

    Hi – I’ve been enjoying your blog and links. Most of the materials I’ve been reading are in the vein of _Trading in the Zone_ by Mark Douglas. I’m looking for your favorite books (Bullowski?) or some links on setups and pattern recognition. (Ha – just to illustrate: “and an NR7 bar compressed between the 200 and 50ma may set up a short below yesterday’s candle.” How would you know?
