Trade Management

NTAP showing relative strength above important levelNetApp holds well above broken resistance level at $38. This is very important level as it is in play since March. We had some clues before break up as buyers managed to build series of higher lows with recent bottom at $36. Below this, idea will loose its luster. As broad market entered into corrective phase, i like how this specifique stock showing us relative strength and wedging above important level. Sector of Data Storage devices also keeps its buying momentum ($WDC, $STX, $VMW). Use your trade and risk management rules to keep odds on your side and control risk the same time. I am tier 1 here, add tier 2 if market will find its footing, add tier 3 on break og wedge. If it will go through $39, it will open doors to $41.

TDC found strong support and looks ready to goTeraData has been hot stock during 2010-2012, then it lost its luster after soften in margins. But in terms of net profit and total revenues it is showing us solid numbers. Stock found strong support at $39-$40. Looks like funds accumulate this stock during last three quarters. Yesterday, it gave us Day #1 (broke of flag and trend line). If the next days it will hold 1/3-1/2 of its range and will go through pivot high $43.65 then it will open doors to upper resistance at $49. With stop below $41.70 (bottom of flag) and more strategical $40 makes this trade acceptable from R/R point of view. Company will release its earnings on 7th of August before market opens.

FOE major supportFerro Corp is sitting on its major support showing us relative strength, while SPY broke down its intermidiate trend with big, ignited candle. I will be watching for stocks that show us resilience during this corrective phase, as we remain in macro trend. If indexes will find its footing, then we can see an upward move in this stock with resonable risk/reward and high probability of winning. Trade management is the key. Tier 1 here, close to support. Add when market conditions will be favorable and stock will go through $12.80ish with potential to $13.90ish resistance, then we have $15.

USDCHF Bear Bat Follow UpFollowing up on an idea that I posted last week. The USDCHF is now at a point where traders who are aggressive with their risk management can look to roll and trails tops with structure (on the 4hr TF) One of the most important lessons that I've learned over the years from my personal trading and from my time as a money manger, is that how you manage a trade once you're in it, is almost as important as finding the right entry. The key to success is CONSERVATION OF CAPITAL. We are going to be wrong in this industry and wrong alot. The key is to learn to tell when we are wrong and cut our losses before they get us in trouble.

PM tight pattern gives calculated entry After V-shape move off the bottom on February, stock formed double top at $91.62 and sold off from there with two gap downs (means strength of sellers). I will us gap pivot point as stop/ Until it stays below $87, I am bearish. Price is below key moving averages. You can manage this trade in different ways I use active trade management. Enter with tier1 in this tight pattern, add tier2 and tier3 if it breaks down and close below $83.83. My road map is move to $79.
