Bearish Trade Setups That You Probably Shouldn’t Take At Market All-Time Highs (Huh?)
I’m not even sure I understand the title of the article, but hey, I provide you with a bearish watch-list you can trade from every week, but just because I provide you with one, doesn’t mean you should be making use of it. Right now is one of those times. Heck, I don’t even know

Here’s Some Solid Long Setups To Carry You Through The Week
The bulls are barely holding on to a small edge in the indices today and overall the breadth is solid and the market looks like it could add more to its gains as the day progresses. The all-time highs remains in reach, but not likely an objective for today.

Some Swing-Trading Setups for the Short Sellers Amongst Us
The bounce is happening today, as I had a sneaky suspicion of yesterday, when I closed out my SPXU trade for a quick 1.8% profit. It doesn’t sound like much, but hey, I don’t write the checks – the market does, and if that is the most it wants to give us for the moment,

Bullish Swing-Trading Setups in a Faltering Market
Oh I know, we are right below those new all-time highs on SPX – how could this market be faltering? Take out Apple (AAPL), Netflix (NFLX), Alphabet Google (GOOGL) and Amazon (AMZN) and where do you think this market stands? Much lower.

Short Setups-Not That They Matter At The Moment
Yes, the Boy Scout in me, still has me compiling a list of them. Actually though, the list has been on fire, and I've even removed a number of them, simply because they have sold off so much since being on there, the idea of getting short them at this point, makes absolutely no sense.

The Just in Case Short Watch-List
Look, I’m not going to ‘poo-poo’ on this market rally today, but let’s face it: Apple (AAPL) reports after the bell today, and we know that earnings in the technology sector haven’t been the best. Sure Amazon (AMZN) had a momentary pop and Alphabet Google (GOOGL) soared, but then you have the unexpected floggings

Bullish Watch-List: Setups Are There, Will The Market Cooperate?
I didn’t place any trades on Friday, and I have yet to make any trades today. In fact, the way the market is trending today, I don’t expect there to be any trades today either.

Bearish Watch-List for All Those Concerned About the Market
If you are a bull today, then today frankly sucks. The trading sucks too. I came into today, wanting to add some more long exposure, and even do so aggressively. I ended up only adding one new position to the portfolio, and even that one I regret. Not because I didn't follow my trading plan,

Bullish Watch As Stocks Try to Stay Out Of The Friends Zone
All systems are a “GO” for swing-trading this week. That is, as long as 2801 holds on SPX, because that is a key level of support that, if breached and closed below, will send the market back into a non-committed area on the charts, where price tends to languish, or as the dating world
