ELF , LONG Well today was stopped out of partially de-risked ELF , but then told to re enter . So I did . But one thing that I am also watching is ULTA , which is struggling and looks vulnerable. Longby NAK1987Updated 0
ELF, LONGMaybe not the best signal but we did close a wedge pop , just . This is the best performer of 2023 for me . Trends can continue , that's what I am hoping happens for ELF Longby NAK1987Updated 0
ELF , LONGThis is one of the strongest stocks in the market right now with three open 2/2 gaps , more than qualifies as a TT's name too . Personal note on my recent behavior , know thyself.... After getting bearish and shorting the 50sma loss on TQQQ, The market proved me wrong . Instead , providing wedge pops on TQQQ / QQQ . That puts the market back into GTM and requires me to 1) buy tqqq in a specialized account ( not posted but you can bet I do so whenever there is a signal rain or shine ) 2) I am required to buy stocks , at least one ( assuming I have a valid signal ) . I certainly don't like the news about the banks and essentially what was a bailout and one side of me wants to expect a bit of a black swan news event here , but that doesnt matter , all that matters is that I follow my strategy , and it says BUY. At least a little .... So I added one full position of ELF today and concentrated on TQQQ in separate account . I also decided not to short in the future because even though I know it can work to make money , I didn't like being negative on the market and I especially didn't like getting stopped on my TQQQ short in the morning and having to buy TQQQ in dedicated account on the close of the same day , in between that time or really right after the stop out on my TQQQ short I was very tempted ( unexpectedly might I say ) , to buy TQQQ with a stop under the low of day near the open , but my strategy is to take my positions at the close . So that would have been impulsive and wrong and would have skewed my trading results of the swing trade Strat . I believe those emotions were primarily caused by the short I took , although it was a valid signal taken at end of the day , the after-effect made me want to take impulsive actions , which I have done before but have gotten much better at controlling the emotions and usually I don't feel that way now in year three three of my journey . So , that made the decision simple , no more shorts in my swing trade account allowed ( I post every one of my swing trades on TV for me to use as a journal of sorts ) . Longby NAK1987Updated 0
e.l.f. Beauty - Nice steady runnere.l.f. Beauty, also known as e.l.f. Cosmetics, is a cosmetics company that offers a wide range of affordable and high-quality beauty products. The company's name stands for "eyes, lips, face," which reflects its focus on makeup products designed for these facial features. e.l.f. Beauty's product lineup includes cosmetics, skincare items, makeup brushes, and various beauty tools. The brand is known for its cruelty-free products, meaning they do not test on animals or use animal-derived ingredients. e.l.f. Beauty's mission is to provide accessible and affordable beauty products that allow everyone to enhance their natural beauty without breaking the bank. The company has gained popularity for offering quality products at lower price points compared to other cosmetic brands in the market. From a technical point of view, an entry might be expensive at this stage. I'd wait for an RSI pull back to the mid 50's and wait for it to head back up again - or get much closer to its 50 day MA or the SuperTrend line and head back up. Might be worth a watch. by zAngusUpdated 1111
April 17 2023 - Nak Accounts update I am doing something new , I am going to do a monthly update on some live account trading results , these are real accounts with real money and this is about year 3.5/4 for me as a person that decided they wanted to jump down the rabbit hole that is trading . I am nowhere near being a master , probably never will be but one thing is for sure , I love this game , winning, losing, all of it . So, I'm doing something that makes me actually a little uncomfortable, lol , I am opening up a private part of my journey to you guys and I have decided to actually post a monthly update of 2 of my accounts . I have two I am going to start sharing because they are slightly different versions of trading . The fast account is all the trades I post on TV, if I post a trade , I am buying it with that account . The risk is consistent for each trade and the signals are very consistent too . I risk 1.43% per entry and go through several stages to de risk , a good trade can have up to 4 transactions and the system is constantly updating . I post the entries but not he management of trades , with the exception of marking them as closed when I am finished ( but sometimes this is late ) . The slow account uses a similar entry tactic but those trades I do not post and it has different risk management , it also trades way way less and focuses on only one name . I keep this strategy off of TV at this time , but I will say how it works (or doesn't work sometimes lol) Uses Wedge pop entry, sell 1/3 at 2R , stop same , sell balance on DWD. This account also risks 3% a trade and only averages around 18 trades in a whole year , hence the description ( SLOW ) As you can see the slow account is slightly outpreforming the fast one , I look forward to sharing future updates . I think that more traders should share their real accounts, (especially ones without several years of positive expectancy performance to back them up , AKA me ). It's an honest way to prove your system either works or does not and it also it helps other to see just how many losers there are in a winning formula and that most winners have losing months . This period btw is the worst my batting average has been since I started to track it in early 2022 . I am at 25% BA right now , but proper risk management has helped to protect me . That being said I would love to have more trades work out to build a larger profit cushion , lots of the current profit is unrealized and a market pullback to put me back in the red for sure . In the future I may also start a day trading version but for now I plan on doing a monthly update on results , and I hope to keep it up for 2023 and follow up with year end trading stats based on the year of data . This will probably not be something I do forever but I would like to stick with it for 2023 at least and go from there . And yea ,I should add , I really don't know what I am doing , I am definitely not a pro , but I am determined and I have become a pretty good loser these last few years ;) I lost a lot of money in 2020 and 2021 , and only a tiny bit in 2022 ( but generated a positive expectancy) . Maybe might be on to my first green year , time will tell :) Could be red too though ! Either way i'll still be at it probably just like many others that have the trading bug and so with that being said time to press that blue button ~ Next month when I update this it will be more point form , just pictures , some notes , less chatter . by NAK19870

ELF: Potential rebound between 63 & 67.5ELF stock's price has been trending upward since May 2022 which makes it attractive in the current environment. A zone between 63 and 67.5 would create an opportunity to buy dip. As long as ELF trades above 59, upward trend is likely to remain intact.Longby Quantific-Solutions1
ELF D1 - BO failure with volume“Discipline is only difficult when you look at it as something unenjoyable. When you re-frame cutting losses and celebrate avoiding a large loss and freeing up capital for a better trade, suddenly having discipline becomes second nature and being undisciplined becomes painful.” ~Mark Minervini~by Uncertain_Outcome223

Cosmetic company shortI see a short opportunity here because the p/e is too high for a product that doesn't need to be purchased. Beauty products are not something that will be selling with millions of Americans getting priced out of life. Sorry to say, I need the money and if I have to short luxury consumables to pay rent I will. I have a put that expires in May, should be plenty of time for the interest rates to press down the non essential markets. The reason they have been doing so well lately is because they sell cheaper products of similar quality to more spendy products, but they have done so well I don't know if they can justify the valuation for long in this inflationary depression/recession.

REVIEW $ELF STOPPED OUTHere is a review of my stopped out trade review on $ELF with a 1:3 risk to reward thesis. Bearish Fundamental - High PE - Negative PEG - Negative P/ FCF - One must note beauty and cosmetic related products are always top of the chart in the online business / Lazada / Shopee Technical - Price broke down 2 years upward trend line with a long wick rejected - Momentum theory indicator was seen under the water - Price further broke down forming a M top / channel Entry idea - Entry idea was based on few confluences - Rejection / retest of the trend line - Rejection on 0.5 fibo - Price below 200 MA Stop loss set on 0.786 fibo level which within 1% of my trading capital and got stopped out. Trading performance should always be based on how well you trade on the outcome of a single trade. Cheers and happy weekend to all traders! Shortby nexxtrade112

Eyes, Lips, Face!Not a cruelty-free, vegan beauty company ELF, which makes the best primers on the market, beating its Q1 earnings estimate by 7 cents a share! Yes, indeed. In fact, they've beat earnings estimates four out of the last five quarters. This low-cost drug store brand is eating up market share with its consumer-friendly price points and awesome products. As women emerge from their homes, they are putting on make-up again, and this brand is taking off, returning over 78% in the last year, beating out well-established brands like Estee Lauder. Got dark under-eye circles? May I suggest their camo concealer? And a few shares to go with that as the company rides its 50-day EMA like the bull it is? This is not trading advice. I use their make-up and own shares in the company - I like them that much. But, you do you!Longby tfweinstein0
