  • snowbound: $TSCO Is mounting its pivot above the 50SMA DAILY . I was warned that this stock has a mind of its own so I'm thinking the 50 might be safe ( ? ) earnings 04.21 . This seemed to follow $GWW and $FAST into the hole . $GWW did a nice rebound .
  • wanda1616: $GWW affected by $FAST
  • wanda1616: @wanda1616 $GWW $FAST i think...earnings yesterday
  • snowbound: @wanda1616 $GWW $FAST $GWW is only a 5% break although it looks worse to me on the chart . I don't own it but I know Scott was watching it at the top of the V . I can't help but wonder if there is potential in it being taken down to the 50SMAd on the back of another earnings report , also the VWAP .

  • lostsheep: $IR trying to break resistance $FAST add this
  • mogo: It's almost embarrassing how many times I've been faked out by $FAST but I think this might finally be a real breakout. It broke above resistance (~$50), hit an ATH and closed near the high today.
  • rvansomeren: Looking at $FAST to break this area for a run up to ER on Jan 20. Pattern is tightening here with low volume.
  • mogo: $BG breakout is working $FAST failed to break 50 again. I'll wait to see if it tries again.
  • mogo: $FAST breaking out
  • Bwhitty: $FAST 59er
  • Bwhitty: $FAST was a little dicey but working
  • Mizu: @Bwhitty $FAST Thanks for the heads up! That was more like a 3 minute trade for me but I made some dough. Left a little on.
  • Bwhitty: @Mizu $FAST yea not a great one.
  • beachndog: $FAST showing signs of life today
  • gwenzee: @beachndog $FAST Earnings tomorrow BMO.
  • beachndog: @gwenzee $FAST Thank you for the update. Selling RHRN
  • gwenzee: @beachndog $FAST If you are positive, don't sell all. Consensus says stock could move up or down by about 5%.
  • beachndog: @DAN $DDOG I did exactly that on $FAST. Thank you for the advice.
  • beachndog: @gwenzee $FAST trading with a very small account, so my position was also very small. Sold and took the profit.
  • Bwhitty: $FAST on the move this AM
  • Bwhitty: $FAST testing 50 day
  • gwenzee: $AAPL $AMD $ARCT $AYX $CARR $CHGG $CYRX $DT $FAST $INCY $LVGO $MSFT $NBIX $NUAN $PFSI $RVNC $SHOP $SILK $TNDM $TDOC These are the stocks I am holding right now. Took partial profits on several yesterday. And.....today everyone of them is up. But....I rang the register. Amazing what one day can and does do to one's portfolio.
  • scottrades: My notes: $SPY Today is why you come to the market every day with an open mind. $QQQ Basing but the down volume outweighs the up volume. $FSLY Bought off of VWAP and swinging. $DKNG Bought off of VWAP and not swinging (and here’s why). $QCOM Poking above resistance. $BABA Close to the highs but with some headline risk. $PG Coming out of a squeeze. $TAN Another Day Another high. Moving stops up. $IIPR Mentioned this on Monday. Working well today. $TSCO Mentioned this on Monday working well today. $FAST Hovering under the 50 Day. $AAPL Tight along the 50 Day but, you guessed it...headline risk. $MTCH Watch 115.90 $BIDU Someone asked about this today, here’s where my alert is. $MA Alert at 346.50 $TSLA Getting tight. $NIO Looks ready, see that slope? $FUTU Just below the 50 Day. $APPS Support at the 8EMA.
  • JosephM: Sold my three positions at 645am this morning. Took losses on one Oct call each in $A, $FAST and $DHI. Good sell but I should have been out yesterday. The $A sell was eye opening as my stop limit order was jumped and I was left like a deer in the headlights. Wondering how to avoid in the future? I didn't think it was too tight but apparently it was.
  • mogo: $FND $FAST both setting up for breakouts
  • Bliss: $FAST suggestions for trading today?
  • scottrades: @Bliss $FAST You'd want to have a stop at the Low of The Day
  • Bliss: @scottrades $FAST Thanks Scott. Is a buy today if I don't have a prior position?
  • scottrades: @Bliss $FAST i think you can wait.
  • JosephM: $QCOM...I debated buying this one yesterday but decided to go with something tighter, $A and $FAST....that would make me the masterdebater.
  • CraigReynolds: @gwenzee $DT $FAST These are on my watch list. Like $FAST best. My reasons, Stochastics and CCI indicators which I feel are excellent and served me well look good. The feel CCI is an advance indicator, seems to tell when stock will go up or down. Since 8/25 indicator turned up and I started small position. Waiting to add at $49.80 which may be today. Just me. $DT have been in since CCI turned up on 8/10. Full position.
  • CraigReynolds: $FAST Like the way this is setting up. BO $48.90 with stochastics and CCI indicator looking good. Started small position 8/25, looking to add on the BO.
  • Kharrison67: @CraigReynolds $FAST which Stochastics? fast, slow, full?
  • sierramp: @CraigReynolds $DT $FAST Interesting re: the CCI. It seems to confirm the histogram. I like the nearly month long consolidation and the current tight squuze. I started a small position this morning but waiting for vol.
  • gwenzee: $ETSY $DT $FAST $NBIX These are currently on my Watch List. SMM members....I would appreciate any comments you might have on these. Thanks in advance. Took ETSY off of the list. Yucky chart if you're looking to go long.
  • gwenzee: @CraigReynolds $DT $FAST Thanks for the reply. Have orders in for DT, FAST and NBIX. Bye, bye to ETSY.
  • jschibal: @gwenzee $ETSY $DT $FAST $NBIX I like $FAST, I actually bought some today, the others I would pass on for now IMO
  • gwenzee: @jschibal $ETSY $DT $FAST $NBIX Thank you for the input. Best of luck.
  • CraigReynolds: @gwenzee $DT $FAST Added a little more $FAST this morning.
  • JosephM: $FAST...looks good ...lots of choices today
  • CraigReynolds: @gwenzee $AMD Missed this one, was gone awhile today when Dan posted. Been watching, not sure it will retrace back. Had on my watch list BO at 81.75 but TOS alert did not fire. Actually got the alert bell about an hour ago. Can't buy everything but was watching. My luck will need to change. This weekend the water pressure tank busted and 2" of water in finished basement. Hope all is better for you. Did add some $FAST today. Believe that may help my mood. Maybe, maybe not, time will tell.
  • gwenzee: @CraigReynolds $AMD $FAST Bought FAST today @ $48.93...we'll see. Did you read my posts to Dan regarding his buy of AMD? I'm sure he isn't happy with me but this one was obvious....chasing.
  • JosephM: $WKHS/$A/$FAST...took a position in all three today. $WKHS...stop at $17.01 as i figure everyone rushes to the exit under $16.88
  • CraigReynolds: @gwenzee $AMD $FAST Yes and his answer. I've seen this before on a few. They even worked out well. There has been a lot of press today about $AMD. Options and all. I try to buy on pullbacks, seem to have better trades. I watch BO and buy small on breakouts then add on pullbacks. Miss a number of trades. I can only watch a few stocks during the day. I chase rabbits and buy at times that don't fit my process. I try to stay with 5 or so, I can watch. Thanks for you posts. They help.
  • indigo1948: @gwenzee $ETSY $DT $FAST $NBIX -entered $DT at $42.77 and have a buy order for $FAST. Owned $NBIX in the past and watching.
  • gwenzee: @CraigReynolds $AMD $FAST Thanks for making my day, again.
  • gwenzee: @indigo1948 $ETSY $DT $FAST $NBIX Congrats on getting a better price on DT. I am really behind the times and am one of the few who doesn't have an online account. Still have to pick up the phone and call my broker. He was in conferences this AM and I didn't get the best prices. But, close enough for tunnel work. Thinking of Lilly. How is she doing? Hopefully this 2nd round is easier on her. Prayers sent.
  • vatradergreg: Starting $FAST with a stop at $47.13
  • sierramp: @vatradergreg $FAST That's a nice squeeze. I'm going to wait for break abv 48.89 on vol. Thanks for pointing it out.
  • vatradergreg: @sierramp $FAST -no problem. I'm jumping the gun since I like to buy closer to support, but what the hell?
  • Orange-Green: @bRobert $AGQ $SLV $GLD Hey buddy - I could use some trading ideas for next week. My setups are flat, not much happening.. Ive got $NDAQ $FAST $ILMN $A in starter positions but not much happening yet.. What do you like for next week? We are all dying to know lol
  • bRobert: @Orange-Green $AGQ $SLV $GLD $NDAQ $FAST $ILMN $A don't I have enough out there to review ? Look at the buffet of trades I've posted on with parameters Most with high upside Look for the pullback/bounce entry as usual
  • Orange-Green: @bRobert $AGQ $SLV $GLD $NDAQ $FAST $ILMN $A Were always looking for more from ya lol - cheers
