Aragorn: ...
$AGX – has been basically sideways now above the 8ema noce move Friday – watch it fro more
$LYB – the bottom is in
$ALGN – seems to be turning upwards above the 8ema and consolidated for a few weeks it looks ready t move high ... - Sluggo: @Aragorn $TDG $JOBS $NXST $VMW $LEA $PANW $AGX $LYB $ALGN I'm intrigued. You follow the 8MA even when it is below the other averages. I know you cant explain why you do this in a sentence or two, but can you tell me what to read to follow this line of thinking? I would really appreciate any input on this style of trading.
- Rjeletrik: @Sluggo $TDG $JOBS $NXST $VMW $LEA $PANW $AGX $LYB $ALGN 5EMA And 8EMA Forex Trading Strategy. This is one simple forex trading strategy that uses 5ema and 8ema indicators. Here's how this forex trading strategy works: if the faster exponential moving average(5ema) crosses the slow ema (8ema) to the upside then its an indication of an uptrend.
- Rjeletrik: The exponential moving average (EMA) differs from a simple moving average (SMA) in two primary ways: more weight is given to the most recent data and the EMA reacts faster to recent price changes than the SMA. The EMA is very popular in forex trading, so much that it is often the basis of a trading strategy.Apr 8, 2018@Sluggo $TDG $JOBS $NXST $VMW $LEA $PANW $AGX $LYB $ALGN
- Sluggo: @Rjeletrik $TDG $JOBS $NXST $VMW $LEA $PANW $AGX $LYB $ALGN Thank you so much! I puzzled on the concept but then figured out the most basic principal. The 8MA always moves faster than the slower averages, wherever they are positioned.

Aragorn: @Sluggo $TDG $JOBS $NXST $VMW $LEA $PANW $AGX $LYB $ALGN
This is not so complicated so I know I will over do the explanation. The 8ema has become a highly used MA by professional traders for intra-day trading, but the number 8 is a fib number and ... -

- bsafriet: $AGX. Stopped out. B/O on vol squeeze failed.
- bsafriet: @rah $AGX Txs @rah, I’ll look into the trial. At only $10 it sounds like a real deal! Txs again.
- bsafriet: @rah $AGX looks like you got stopped out Friday afternoon. I’m still in with a stop at 67.45. I’m willing to give it a little more time to resume the move upward. The money flow was into tech stocks Friday and probably will carry over to Monday. I don’t expect a significant move in $AGX until the tech feeding frenzy dies down. 3 day rule?
- jwstich: @rah $AGX EOD?? Unable to translate. Thanks
- rj7150: @jwstich $AGX I believe it stands for end of day.
- rah: @bsafriet $AGX - Sorry I took so long to answer. I see you can try V.V (essentially used as a Fundi DATA Base) for $10 (5-week trial). Certainly long enough to get a good taste of how it works. I started with the EOD (which I would suggest, as it is ...
- bsafriet: @rah $AGX If you don't mind my asking, what does a subscription to VV run a year? I've thought about a few others, but haven't gone beyond an eIBD subscription, Barrons and the WSJ (more a national newspaper than for stocks, better for bonds). I us ...
- bsafriet: @bwcarnation1 $AGX Forgot to thank you for this post this morning. I've had $AGX on my watchlist since @Dan discussed last weekend. Your post had me stop what I was doing and focus on $AGX. Hope you entered today as well. Best wishes!
- bsafriet: $AGX After a little move on the open $AGX has pulled back to my entry yesterday. Long initial position and holding. Waiting for follow through on yesterday's B/O before adding. I have an aggressive stop placed below yesterday's low ($69.50).
- rah: @bsafriet $AGX - with no follow throughout of the squeeze I am only giving it till $68.75 or look for another day. I am not expecting it to even go that low, so why not go with what I expect - or leave? rah
- bwcarnation1: $AGX breaking out of v.s.
- bsafriet: $AGX. Popped out of BB squeeze today. Weekly chart looks like a B/O from a cup w/handle. Currently trading at 69.05 +1.85 ( 2.75%). Avg vol is 130.96K (10 day avg) and currently 77.89K shares today. ER not till Dec. Was in 10/20 weekly review with an alert set at 70.00. Going long a starting position RHRN.
- bsafriet: @bsafriet $AGX Entry @69.15
- bsafriet: @Dan - can you take a look at $AGX and update your thoughts in tonight’s SS?
- issues: @bsafriet $AGX I guess it could look somewhat like a cup and shaky handle?? If it's a cup shape it looks like it's a mangled cup.
- bsafriet: $INTC $MSFT. Much of my time the last couple of days has been devoted to scrubbing my holdings, tightening stops and exiting some positions. Decided to protect profits on $INTC and $MSFT and closed positions prior to ER tonight. Having sellers remo ...
- rah: @bsafriet $AGX - I like it, just put in an order, filled at 69.10. Looks like a nice squeeze move, carrying both (+) volume and price trend. It is undervalued, forecasted growth looks good, Earnings growth (1-3 yr.) at 21%, sales growth of 60% over the past 12 months. Just paid the yearly dividend on 10/1/17. Listed as the current leader in Diversified Companies and I see it passes the debeers test (Blackrock holding 5% of the stock at the end of the 3rd quarter). Thanks, rah
- rah: @bsafriet $AGX - just read .... "Also, the company said it intends to declare a regular quarterly dividend of $0.25 per common share starting in the first quarter of fiscal year ending Jan. 31, 2019."
- bsafriet: @rah $AGX Txs for your comments. What reference source do you use for earnings and financials? I definitely need better info than what I've been using! Hope this trade works out for us! All the best!
- bsafriet: @issues $AGX I'm looking at the 1 yr wkly chart. Cup defined 5/8 - 10/2, admittedly it's choppy. BP 68.85; double bottom very evident on daily chart, 66.5 entry. Then there's today's vol squeeze B/O. Looks very strong technically. Hope you jumped in. See @ Rah's posts below for financials, excellent research!
- bsafriet: @rah $AGX Excellent research! Txs for sharing!
- rah: @bsafriet $AGX - Okay - don't laugh, I will tell you. I have maintained a subscription to Vector Vest since just before starting here with Dan about 8-9 years ago. Hopefully, it is acceptable to share that info here. At that time I needed more hand-h ...

rachel: ...
17. $AGX – very good behavior. Buyers are taking this stock out of the volatility squeeze. Printing higher highs and lows out of a multi-month base.
18. $MMM – This is IBM. Obvious blowoff.
19. $ICLR -- VS breakout after earnings. -
rachel: ...
8. $AGX – on EPS/Rev growth scan. Chart looks like it is basing. Q sales growth is 50-80% yoy. Alert at $70
Aerospace
9. $BA – earnings next week. Trending higher…but these have come up a lot. Risky to hold over earnings.
10. ... - audrina0904: $MTZ Had a really nice earnings pop. The Engineering services field is really hot including $WLDN & $AGX. All look good, chart wise, you are late to the MTZ party, but $WLDN & $AGX look like decent places...

- Bridget: Looking at $AGX for a short. Has been trading sideways since Dec. Shot across the bow on 2/14 on volume, then recovered to the 50MA but could not break through. Now pushing lower on the bottom BB.
- DrScience: @Bridget $AGX Agree. but this could be a slow-developing trade. Note past drops followed by multi-day recoveries, some to new highs. Huge beats on earnings make this a difficult one to call. It might try to make another last gasp attempt before succumbing to gravity. Protective option trade is really expensive, so I'd take a starter position, on intra-day failure at VWAP (if it happens), and a tight stop, and target at $65, then $60.
- Aragorn: $AGX look for a possible recovery today it bounced yesterday off the 100ema all the way back up to practically the HOD. This is a really thin issue 220K shares a day. So if someone wants out that can start the ball rolling and that may very well have been what has happened the last 2 days that said it is right below a trading box I have drawn if I extend it a bit lower as I should it is back inside the higher box. Long signal is above yesterdays hod. Just an idea not pounding the table, No buying until above yesterdays hod
- jwstich: $AGX droping5% this a.m. Down big last 2 days. Increased volume. Unable to find reason. Any ideas?
- michaelH: @jwstich $AGX Unable to find any. Canceled my stop, and sold mine at the market at the open. Had just purchased yesterday after hearing Dan's positive comments over the weekend, and took a small loss. That's trading!
- jwstich: @michaelH $AGX Seems as though someone knows something???

- Cheezit: $AGX Trading the top of the range for the bottom. "just like that"
- jwstich: @Cheezit $AGX unable to find a reason for the drop. Has dropped below 50 dma on slightly increase volume.
- michaelH: @Cheezit $AGX have a stop in at 69.20 which I'm expecting will be hit tomorrow. Saw no news today.
- Wolf: $AGX @Dan This seems to ride the 8 EMA. Is this a buying opportunity or would you wait for the 20DMA or lower?
- DAN: @Wolf $AGX sorry. just saw this. I think you should key off the 50 day moving average. $70 is support. that needs to hold. A green day would be your buy signal. hope this helps.
- Wolf: @tradeforfamily $AGX Good move.
- Wolf: $AGX pretty tight squeeze around the 8EMA. Up 2% today.
- tradeforfamily: @Wolf $AGX I am in today. Made money off it before. This is not as volatile as others today, but a steady as she goes one.
- mepcc1: $AGX - @DAN mentioned this one on 12/30 - starting move up today from 20dma - taking small position with stop under recent intraday low of 69.60 - will add if it pushes above recent high.
- bwcarnation1: $AGX I guess the pull back ended Friday up 4.74% today. Dan covered in weekend video.
- issues: @bwcarnation1 $AGX I checked my notes and couldn't find Dan's comments this weekend. What did he say?
- pookie: @issues $AGX 17. AGX – Accelerating EPS and Rev Growth. Wait for entry…at least below $65.00. ALERT $65.00
- champ: $AGX @ $73 - This is really just a great company....I have a Swing position. Institutions hold 78% of the stock....I wish I was holding more...but I will add if it breaks out..

- tradeforfamily: $AGX Anyone know this well, a construction/engineering with good fundamentals and at considating at 50D EMA. This would play into Trump's build America. Thoughts please.
- orpheusredux: @tradeforfamily $AGX And it's squeezing too. Looks intriguing.
- tradeforfamily: @tradeforfamily $AGX I am looking at $AGX $EME $DY as construction/engineering play. which is better reward?
