Trade Setups

The Chart of the Day…   Quick Glance at the Market Heat Map and Industries Notables: Not a good day for the Conglomerates Basic Materials and Tech also weighed down the market today.  Services, Goods and Utilities showed a little bit of buying action today. 

This is my first trade after being back from a short vacation since last Wednesday afternoon. Thank goodness for those 5-hour energy drinks or I’d be lagging quite a bit today.  The trade in Crocs (CROX) comes off of my watch-list, and a stock that I’ve been following for weeks now waiting for an ideal

As you know by now, I don’t buy a lot of stocks under $5.00. That doesn’t mean that I won’t, but it really has to catch my eye! Well Northern Dynasty Minerals (NAK) has done just that! It has been on a downtrend since January of 2011, and since June of this year has spent

Great trade setup this morning, compliments of @thetradingwife via the SharePlanner Pro Trading Platform this morning.  There’s a clear resistance area that the stock has managed to break through this morning and you can simply put a stop-loss below the previous higher-low on the daily chart at $33.59.
