Your 8 Trade Ideas For Monday 8-6-12

Some trade setups for you consideration.  Unless otherwise noted they are good-looking setups on the daily chart for taking day trades, i.e. ”Set up for home runs, but hit singles and doubles.”

A few things going for $YELP here.  Breaking out of a descending channel, a green hammer, and MACD about to cross.  You could use Friday’s bar for a swing entry and stop.

Probably not quite ready yet.  Would like to see a day or two more consolidation at gap resistance after strong green bar.  A NR7 at that level would set up a beautiful long for $SNCR.

If $MCP isn’t going bankrupt it should bounce hard at some point.  Ideal set up is a gap down in the morning, volume spike on a 5-min bar, then reverse.

Numerous taps at $19.50 means $$EPAY should move out fast if it can break and hold that level.

One of those “I have no idea what they do” stocks, $AKRX formed an inverted red hammer after a weak bounce attempt and is making it look like a short.

A very squirrely Chinese stock that is tough to play, but $ADY is definitely forming an ascending triangle with an NR7 bar.

I like the action in $ACW.  A break above $5.40 should be good for a pop.

Everybody’s favorite stock $AAPL has made a nice comeback from its earnings drop. Friday was an NR7 bar just below resistance, setting up for a potential long.
