- champ: $SSO...HOD...and I'm going to hold this into $NVDA earnings report...because could get a real nice bounce. ....And for Now, everything is in play off of $NVDA ER-report. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ However I expect a lot of zig-zags.

champ: ...
...$SSO $TNA $IBIT $NUGT.......so I kinda when out on a limb, with these 4-ETF test swings, into Monday morning, for a look see.....and I will or I would like to add-on, to these ETF's.....plus I would also like to be able to swing these ETF's...may ... - champ: $SPY and $SSO has now drop down to $86.25....and it looks like the Markets are looking for direction, at these high market-levels....... .....and ETF's have mostly all fell back..... .....and I'm Watching for Entries and Add-ons, on a few of my Trades........ $SSO $TNA $IBIT $NUGT...my ETF-targets are dancing around...and I'm holding small swing-positions on these ETF's....... ....and I'm looking to Build, at some-point. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- champ: @bigbartabs $SPXL $SPX $DJI $SPY $UDOW #Thanks...OK...got it on $UDOW, however I mostly always Trade off of positive News, like that #Powell-news, so I will watch $UDOW, along with my $TNA and $SSO positions and I'm also still holding $IBIT and $NUGT, for Now. ....and all are Bounce-Candidates, with the MarketsIMO, could be both for shot and long term now, because of that New...positive-Powell-news.. .....and $TNA, this small-cap ETF, is a #huge-lagger... and now appears to be spring-loaded and is only Waiting for the Markets, before it mades its next move and I'm looking at 2021, when it was at $114 and all the others are back at around their highs...$SSO, $UDOW and others. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ However I expect all kinds of zig-zags, as I wait, to add-onto my ETF positions.
- champ: $TNA.. at $43.44....$SSO..at $85.22 $SSO.... $NUGT..at $48.32...I'm currently holding these 3-ETF's...because Fed-chair Powell said this morning, at that Jackson Hole Economic Symposium... Quote....rate-cuts are imminent, so it is a done deal now...because he can't go back now and change his mind. ....The market believers.. now believe, that the Markets should have a #Pre-Market-move, a short-term-move, into the next FOMC Rate Cut Decision, on September 18th, around 16 Trading-days from now........... ....Thats the current market Set-up and always have to expect zig-zags along the way............. ..........Swing Risk-on, Game-on, will see how it goes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- champ: $SSO $TNA $NUGT $IBIT....I looked at next week, up-coming #Economic-reports and it is very usual.... because there are #No-economic-reports, coming up next week, that would Rock-the-boat on this new Market move..... ... only very minor Reports next week and #None will have a high trading impact on the Markets...could take a look and Check-it-Out........ ...so it looks like this nice Market move will/should continue..... is Why I'm swinging new-Risk, that is higher than normal, into Monday morning. >>> #Swing-Risk-on, for sure and I expect that the Markets could close on their HOD's. ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- bigbartabs: @champ $SSO $TNA $NUGT $IBIT #Economic-reports #No-economic-reports #None #Swing-Risk-on ... the main risk is still the middle east flaring up over night. But so far it seems a stale mate.
- champ: @bigbartabs $SSO $TNA $NUGT $IBIT #Economic-reports #No-economic-reports #None #Swing-Risk-on...that risk is still Out-there but with negotiations still going on.... .....and also last night, the Vice-President warned Iran and all the other countries, #Quote....that the U.S. will be protecting Israel, 100%, against any new attacks, from any countries, against Israel, thats what she said, so she can't back-off that warning now... or at anytime before the Elections...because she is #Now-on-record...period...and that was a surprise...and if she doesn't follow though, she will lose the Election. Thats my take for FWIW. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Onthemark: @champ $SSO $TNA $NUGT $IBIT #Economic-reports #No-economic-reports #None #Swing-Risk-on I believe the biggest risk next week is $NVDA earnings after market close on Wednesday.
- billyzeke: @Onthemark $SSO $TNA $NUGT $IBIT $NVDA #Economic-reports #No-economic-reports #None #Swing-Risk-on Definitely, and I dread the how much should I hold decision I'm going to have to make.
- champ: $SSO $TNA...the Markets have been waiting a long-time for #Confirmation of the first Interest Rate cut......so Now we have to believe what we were waiting for, from Fed-chair Powell, because he said, the Time-is-Now....and now the Next guess only is, will it be a 1/4% cut or a 1/2% cut...and he left that up in the air. .....So forum members should know, that all the Retail Investors and Traders will be active on Monday, meaning the guess is, they should chase.....because the #News-flow over the weekend will be positive, for a rate cut, on all the News-networks over the weekend. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- champ: @Onthemark $SSO $TNA $NUGT $IBIT $NVDA #Economic-reports #No-economic-reports #None #Swing-Risk-on.......Sure but thats after Monday....and common sense will be in play, some will hold into earnings and others will take profits before and wait and see how it plays out on Wednesday...and in Market time, thats 3-full trading days from now...and in the next 3- treading days, Investors could make a hell of a lot of New-profits....before they report, thats the play, the play is now, before, IMO, then on Wednesday afternoon, that will be a concern...but Not now. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- champ: $DJI ...Nas-$COMPX $TQQQ $QLD $QQQ $SPY $SSO....the Markets had a strong close, right around their HOD's....and the Set-up is..... this should continue again tomorrow, if we don't get any negative News tonight....and all the Markets in Europe should follow our Markets. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- champ: $SSO and $TQQQ are both looking like they could go even higher.
- bigreek42: does this seem like a logical place to take profits if you bought near the recent low? Seems like it, no? $SSO $QLD
- marklesparkle: @bigreek42 $SSO $QLD Well I took a third on my $SSO 5% FWIW today
- champ: $SSO and $SVXY are both HOD..and these #U-turns might continue...?
- champ: this Day-trade.....$SSO...is also HOD....
- champ: $SSO $TQQQ $NUGT $IBIT....#new-ETF-positions this morning around the LOD's....Trailing, with safety stops...my plan was, just going to see how they play out. Day-trades, would maybe like to swing partials, if I get that far. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- champ: $SVXY $SSO $TQQQ $NUGT $IBIT....all are working and $SVXY is out performing.
- champ: $SSO....I'm still holding this swing position.
- champ: $QQQ $TNA $SSO.....New Day-trades this morning....Trailing.
- champ: @PhilHarmonic $UVXY $SPY $VIX $uvxy $vix $AMZN....Yes sir..exactly, thats the #plan on $SSO, however for me, I need to get my foot in, for a position that might hold and so-far....if it holds... I will swing all or part for sure, if I can hold going into the close....... ...and if Not, then I will #keep trying until I get the swing-key that works....... and for Now, it sure looks like I'm going to be able to swing, at least 1/2, however will see, how it goes.....because I need to be able to wear that swing-Hat, if I can find it, maybe you have an extra one, that I could use..? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- champ: $SSO $QLD....Nice zig-zags....for those who don't watch all of those moves.
-
StockMarketMentor: ...
If you want to trade the indexes, consider ultra ETFs. $QLD for the $QQQ, and $SSO for the S&P.
Stock Suggestions?
Make a shopping list. In this type of environment, even the best stocks get sold because money managers need to raise liqu ... - Wolf: @StockMarketMentor $VIX $QLD $QQQ $SSO $NVDA Bought a little PM at 94 . Have a sell limit at 105.
- champ: $SSO and $IBIT...these are my only New positions this morning.

champ: ...
....Need these ETF's to work......$SSO $FAS $LABU $USO $XLE $XOP and if these were all up nicely, then the $TNA...would really be working....
.............however only need a few of these to be working.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
....Watch ... - champ: $SSO $TQQQ $TNA....for now I'm still holding these ETF's and I'm looking at others.
- champ: $TQQQ $SSO $TNA $BOIL.....and it looks like #Options-Friday was holding the Markets back and Now we might be getting Day-1 of a Market turn.....is how I'm playing this turn, so far and if it continues into the close, I will be swinging part or all of these ETF's. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- joelsg1: @champ $TQQQ $SSO $TNA $BOIL #Options-Friday Not so much options Friday but can't make a trade Friday due to the outage.
- champ: @joelsg1 $TQQQ $SSO $TNA $BOIL ......For me, the way I #played-it was, I started moving out on Monday and finished taking profits on the stocks that I wanted to sell on Wednesday...because of that upcoming #Options-Friday day.....and the outage sure helped my New entries on Friday near the close and also today on the open......and I was posting all last week about #Options-Friday......however obviously know-one knew that those outage were going to Pop-up...however I never wait until the last last day, I never wait for Friday...and I did hold 12 positions into Friday....but none were in the tech sector. FWIW
-
champ: ...
.....however today on Day-1, I'm swinging 400 shares in $SSO $TNA and $TQQQ and I will be trading all these Core-positions, if the Markets lets me.....and I hope I will still be holding these 30 days from now, however the Markets will be showing me ... - DAN: Good pullback buy entry on $SSO -- stop below today's intraday low. Double $SPY

scottrades: ...
Watch for new highs from market basket ETFs like $SSO and $QLD if we do get a bounce. I find it’s good to trade those 2 when the market isn’t really giving us a lot of clarity and you still want to try and participate.
Feels like we&rs ... - scottrades: My notes: $SPY Lower Low $QQQ Lower Low $IWM High Open, low close $DXY Down on the day $TNX Down on the day $GLD Still above the MAs $USO Down $TLT Up $SMH Failed at the 50 Day $IBIT Undercut the 50 Day $SSO Would like a lower open $QLD Would like a lower open $NVDA On the 50 Day $MSFT Watch for an upside reversal $SMCI on the 21 EMA $NVO Just under the 50 Day $OWL At the 50 Day $HEI Watch 200 $WING on an Earnings Launch Pad? $MJ Pot Stocks near the 50 Day
- champ: With 35 minutes left, the Markets had a nice turn, now we will see if this nice-turn holds....$TQQQ $SSO $LABU.
- scottrades: $SPY back above the 21 EMA. Active traders will want to use Yesterday's low as a hard stop. $SSO
- champ: @bigbartabs...$UPRO might be one to look at or $SSO...??
-
scottrades: ...
$SSO Support at the 8EMA
$QLD Support at the 8EMA
$META Basing Watch 495 for a new high
$BOOT Watch 91.30
$DDOG Watch 132.90
$CYBR Good Earnings. Watch 264
$AMD along the 8 EMA. Looks actionable as long as it holds the 21 EMA
$IWM Watch for breakout ... - champ: $SPY $SSO $UPRO....all are HOD.....
- champ: $SSO $UPRO $TNA $TQQQ...all are HOD...Giddy-up with 70 minutes left before the close, might continue.
- Motorman:
- champ: $TQQQ $SSO $UPRO $TNA $GDX $NUGT.....nothing really wrong, just Traders at work.
- champ: $TQQQ $SSO $UPRO $TNA....looks like a Buy program kicked-in on that 5-minute chart......
- champ: Day-trades.....$TNA $UPRO $SSO $NAIL...and all are HOD.
- champ: #Day-trades......$UPRO $SSO $TQQQ $TNA $MDY $NAIL....its been over 3 hours now and the Markets should settle down, with less zig-zags....after the first wave of Traders, they took some of their profits off........and now it might be Giddy-up, for the next Slow move....... ....I'm only Watching, only EyeBalling my stops, more or less Trailing these ETF's, I'm just Watching the zig-zags......with No-Stops in place, for Now...... $DJI.. $COMPX and the $SPX....... .....I'm also watching my stock swings.......
- champ: $TQQQ $UPRO $SSO $MDY......starting to zig-zag.

champ: ...
....however I took full profits on these bounce-Day-trades....$TQQQ $URPO $SSO $SOXL $INTC $EXPE $MSFT $HLF $TSLA $HSY $ULTA....and I hope I can add back on Monday.....
....and I'm sorry to say, that I missed all the others, I thought that I was too ... - champ: $TQQQ $SSO....for now the futures are looking positive and all of my swings are up nicely in the PM.....and they just might continue.
- champ: $TQQQ $SSO $SPY $UPRO $XOP $MDY ...these ETF's are HOD.
- champ: $SSO is HOD.
- champ: $SSO $TQQQ...I took full profits in both...because of the PayRoll report in the morning.
- Docoof: @champ $SSO $TQQQ I forgot about that. Thanks for the reminder.
- champ: $SSO $SPY....I added this morning.
- champ: $SSO $TQQQ $XOP ...I'm holding these ETF's and I have been Building tis morning.
- Matt0311: @champ $SSO $TQQQ $XOP sometimes I see you put a trailing stop at positions, any rule of thumb how much the trailing amount is, percentage or absolute?
- champ: @Matt0311 $SSO $TQQQ $XOP....For now, this is how I'm working...because this is #FOMC-day ...I don't have any stops on these ETF's, because they are dancing around, zig-zagging....... ....I'm just watching...is all I'm doing, watching the Sectors and the Markets....... ....and I had nice entry-timings, so I should be OK....until 14:00 ET, and that is the FOMC timing and then Powell will start his News Briefing at 14:30....... My eyes are in play today....I'm #eyeballing.......and I will harvest some profits at some point.....and I might even take down positions. Good Luck!
- champ: $SSO $TQQQ $XOP ...as of Now....it looks like I will be swinging positions in these ETF's.
- champ: Because the Markets had a decent #FOMC-day, I guess, we would have to expect a bounce in the morning, however the Markets never does what is expected....but maybe this time it will. ~~~ And I'm swinging risk again, with these Hope-trades, after taking some profits off, so I have swing-insurance on these trades ...$SSO $TQQQ $XOP $CZR $INTC $STNG.
- champ: $SPY $SSO....November just might work-out to be a good month for the $SPY to turn up a little, because of the FOMC..... #No rate Hike on Wednesday, is Billy Bob's guess.
- champ: $SSO is HOD...I have a Day-trade....and I might swing partial.
- champ: $SSO $XOP $BOIL $INTC $WING $FND $PENN $DRI $WW......these are my current positions that I'm holding.
- champ: $SPY is HOD, and this is Day-2 on this move off of the most recent low/bottom, looks like we can clearly see a change in direction, going into November and the FOMC....and I'm holding $SSO and I'm guessing that I'm going to swing, might take down partial in the morning, maybe right before or sooner..??....before the FOMC rate decision.
- champ: $SPY is HOD...$SSO.
- bigbartabs: @champ $SPY $SSO ... we need the indexes to get back above their 8dema lines
- champ: @bigbartabs $SPY $SSO....Yes thats what many watch for.....however if the Markets were to get a slow turn, that might take more than a few Days.... ....and if it were to get back up to 8dma, traders might take profits at around that level, just never know what is going to happen.....and I sure don't know........ $SSO and $XOP......I will be swing both of these ETF's, 1/3 position size, for now.
- champ: Another Nice day, Day-2...with a nice close, the tech $COMPX close on HOD and the $DJI also had a nice close, almost on HOD....... ....I'm not getting carried away....however I'm still swinging a few positions.....$SSO $XOP $PENN $FND $INTC $WW and a huge position in $SWVXX...... ....$AMD beat on earnings and thats positive for my $INTC position. ....$CZR had a real nice beat on their earnings, record setting and thats positive for my $PENN position.
- champ: $DJI $COMPX $TQQQ $SPY. $SSO.....on #Market-turns like this....it is possible that we could see the Markets #close on or very near HOD...... ...and as we all know, just never know for sure, how strong the close is going to be, however it should be strong.
- maracom: Good morning all! Nice to see the $SPY $SPX bouce at the Feb/April highs support line. I might consider going long $SSO but with big tech earnings this week I think I'll just stick to playing the $TLT for a reversion to the mean. #Gold and #Oil are having reversions to the 20day. #Natgas looking interesting opening right around friday's open, two opens at the same level, I think I'll buy some more. #Trading: Long: $UNG $WPM $COIN Long calls: $TLT Nov $86 -$UNG added another 1/5 position, now at of 3/5 a full position -$WPM raising my stop to $42.8 to protect profits #LTA: $DVN $FTI $FCX $NEM $GLD $SLV $BIL

maracom: ...
Took the last few days off since I did all my selling last week. I'm in the camp that recession is still on the way, and that the summer bear market rally was just to suck retail back in before a big draw down, which I think is beginning to play out ... - scottrades: Good morning Team! Markets are up following some good Econ News about PCE inflation data. This is a key metric that The Fed looks at and when the news came out we saw little change in interest rates and traders are still betting they will not raise ...
- scottrades: Any trades in $SSO or $QLD could use yesterdays low as stop levels.
- joelsg1: @scottrades $SSO $QLD $TQQQ Boom.
- Docoof: @joelsg1 $SSO $QLD $TQQQ Same. LW playbook.
- scottrades: @Docoof $SSO $QLD $TQQQ That's how it's done!
- joelsg1: @Docoof $SSO $QLD $TQQQ Yessir! Now above Dan's min. 358.50 on $QQQs.

Docoof: @joelsg1 $SSO $QLD $TQQQ
I didn’t see this post. Sorry I did not respond earlier. Of course I subscribed! I mean, it’s free till October 1. And I’ve watched all his videos and read all his notes and received his emails. SMM is, lit ... - joelsg1: @Docoof $SSO $QLD $TQQQ I did. As LW says, he's putting his 'legend' reputation on the line through year end, and I'm auditing.
- Bert953: #Mr Market.First time Ive done any trading in a few weeks. stops are taking me out today. $AAPL $ADBE $SSO $UWM $DDS only $DDS was a loss, thankfully small.
- scottrades: @Docoof I think the market is looking great here, though we're a few minutes from the close. Yesterday was a nice high volume Follow Through Day. Today is a bit of a quiet rally but if you look at the 1-hour chart on $SPY, it looks like a high handle. We do have Jobless claims tomorrow along with Core PCE and then Non-Farm Payrolls and ISM on Friday which could make or break this move. I still think you can be long the indexes, or leveraged versions of them, like $SSO or $QLD with a partial stop at breakeven and another one under yesterday's low.
- Docoof: @scottrades $SPY $SSO $QLD You’re invaluable. Thanks very much for the response!
- scottrades: Watch for $SSO to take out HOD.

Keep an eye on $SSO and $QLD for an opportunity to grab on to the market if it does come back above the 8/21EMAs.
$GOOGL has held the gap which is good to see. Watch for it to hold the 8EMA
$ANET Holding up
$ONON Is working but has earnings coming ... - Docoof: @scottrades Your notes are always helpful, but I especially find valuable your regular comments on the broader indexes, i.e.: We’ll want to continue to focus on the $SPY $QQQ trends which are trying to find support above the 50 Day MA. Keep an eye on $SSO and $QLD for an opportunity to grab on to the market if it does come back above the 8/21EMAs.
- scottrades: @Docoof $SPY $QQQ $SSO $QLD Thank you my friend, I appreciate the feedback.
- scottrades: Trying some $SSO here, stop under yesterday's low.
- scottrades: @scottrades $SSO Also looking at $QLD here
- champ: $SPY at $448....this level might work...and $SSO at $59.
- champ: @bigbartabs $UPRO......I guess $SPXL might move faster and the #stronger the Market the better it would be, however as of RHRN... their % moves are about the same but $SPXL is obviously the higher $$$ mover because the ETF is priced higher...... .....I like it.....OK..Thanks, I parked them next to each other, along with $SSO and $SPY.
