AADI - NASDAQ PENNY Biotech pre-earnings LONGAADI has earnings in two day. On the 30 minute chart, it is significantly below the highs of May
and June where it was in a wide ranged consolidation. After that in July price trended down
along the support of the second lower VWAP line into a reversal on August 1 shich also
ascended the VWAP lines. Upcoming earnings are in two days on the 9th. Prior two
earning reports lightly beat the top and bottom lines. This small biotechnology company
is making money unlike many of its cash-burning peers. The zero-lag MAC shows a line
cross under the histogram which flipped red to green as the lines rise. With this confirmation,
I will take a long trade into the earnings. There is no alternative in a call option in this case.
From the chart, targets are 6.9, 6.9, and 8.0 over a stop loss of 5.45. I expect this trade to be
finished in 4 days or less.
AMRX Post Earnings High Flyer - a hedge tradefor the next phase of the price action - the details are on the chart. Please comment
if you would like further details.
AMRX Biotech earnings Today LONGAMRX is a penny biotechnology stock with earnings out on the Friday the 4th.
As you can see on the 15 minute chart, it took off out of consolidation on
Wednesday afternoon in a burst of price volume and volatility into an
ascending parallel channel.
I will buy the stock in the pre-market attempting to exploit the momentum
going into earnings. If there is a miss, I will quickly liquidate and instead
buy put options expiring on 8/18 striking $ 5 and get as many as 100 of
them. This will be a highly risky trade albeit with a comparable reward.
I will position to 0.05% of my account cash balance and no more.
Wyckoff is SimpleThe wyckoff method is a very simple method. The purpose of this post is to show you price manipulation by the Composite Operator or CO.
Price NEVER moves the same way. In fact, you will almost never see the same wyckoff pattern in all of your trading years. HOWEVER, the terminology is the same because the reasoning behind these moves are scientific and are inevitably going to happen. For example, shorts have to cover eventually. Thus, the terminology for the automatic rally after a long downtrend is Sufficient evidence of short covering.
So, In almost every range there will be a stage. A stopping stage, trading stage, heavy absorption or distribution, trend phases, and an exit of the range. By far, this method of trading is the BEST way to avoid excessive risk, and if you are lucky, you can easily campaign a stock into 200-300% gains--EVEN IN PHASE B?!?!( big risk )
AMRX - Long Term Double BottomAMRX has hit a long term low point that has been seen to be a strong rejection point for the bulls
Price will likely double bottom and return upwards, as it did in the first situation where we see an inverse H&S
AMRX 1D RANGE TRADESRanges are repeatable trading chart patterns.
Ranges are consolidation chart patterns that can breakout either direction.
Each chart pattern will have defining trendlines of the support/resistance levels creating the pattern.
What ever time frame you are trading this chart pattern, wait for a candle close outside of the trendline in the direction of the breakout candle. (Our time frame preference is the Daily chart).
Add volume indicator - Volume is the amount of $ that went into a particular candle or in Forex the # of trades that took place.
Add ATR indicator - Volatility is the amount of price movement that occurred. Use the ATR to measure the price movement.
When you see descending Volume bars and descending ATR line (which indicates volatility) this shows
a dis-interest in traders to invest in this pair creating consolidation which creates the chart pattern.
Trade Management after there is a breakout candle close.
1 - Position size (compare volume bar to volume ma line).
a - Breakout candle must be 100% of average volume for a full position size.
b - If 75% of average volume then ½ position size. (To find 75% of Volume
look at the charts volume settings – divide smaller # into larger # = 75%+)
2 - Enter two trades.
3 - SL for both trades will be 1.5 x ATR.
4 - 1st trade TP will be 1 x ATR.
5 - No TP on 2nd trade – letting profit run and adjusting SL to follow price.
6 - When 1st TP hit – move 2nd trade SL to breakeven.
7 - Adjust the 2nd trade SL to follow price.
*8 – After Breakout candle – if price closes back into chart pattern close trade
*9 - When breakout candle is more than 1 ATR from breakout candle open.
a - Enter 1st trade at candle close with ½ position size.
b - Enter 2nd trade with a pending limit order that is 1 ATR of breakout candle open.
c – Price should pullback to that pending limit order for 2nd trade.
d – If Price returns back into chart pattern close trade before SL is hit.

AMRX - WEEK CHART Hi, today we are going to talk about Amneal Pharmaceuticals and its current landscape.
The opioid crisis has been plaguing the U.S at the most for nearly two years now. With scary numbers like the record of 47,600* overdose deaths caused by opioids in 2017 but the number seems to start slowdown since 2018 were the war against opioids gained some traction.
In the justice field, some companies have already faced some sort of rebuke for involvement and even a bit of responsibility for the opioid crisis. For example
*Jun 2019, Insys Therapeutics Inc. had to file for bankruptcy after being convicted for conspiring to bribe doctors to increase opioid sales, ending up in a deal with the federal government of $225 million.
* Aug 2019, Johnson & Johnson was obligated to pay $572 Million, as Oklahoma ruled that the company intentionally played down the dangers and oversold the benefits of opioids.
* Oct 2019, Johnson & Johnson was once more condemned by two counties of Ohio to pay $20.4 million, with the accusation of having helped the opioid crisis to spread.
Now, the drug maker Amneal Pharmaceuticals, is under investigation by the Federal Prosecutors in Brooklyn, into whether the company intentionally permitted that flood of opioids on the community. For now the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of New York it's just issuing subpoenas, but if they case sticks we might see what the murders of Julius Caesar saw, a pile of fire and anger from the people, so big that like Caesar butchers that were cast out of the city, the companies involved on this process can be drowned in liabilities and fines with the risk to be so badly damaged that may have the same fate of Insys Therapeutics Inc. The war against opioids it's just poised to grow up as every justice department across the country and every candidate that it's next to run on elections its eager to hang this trophy on the wall.
