i was contacted today about the lack of trades for the ETFs with the basic settings on the 5min chart...folks, these liquid stocks that i post 'usually' can have some decent intraday trades on the 5min chart using the basic settings....dont feel like you are stuck with no trades if the F's are flat for the day!
this weekends scan as follows:
CX: it closed near the upper bollie at $9.72 but i like the volume and the trend from what looks to be a recent double bottom-ish area (7.60). it just crossed through the 200MA for the second time here, so look for resistance at that $9.80-9.90 area where there is the upper bollie and a trendline coming across from July through November. the 30m, 15m, and even the 5m charts show nice runs!
CZZ at $13.64 its a bit light on the volume....however....its on one HECK of a nice uptrend and the MACD gives me tingles. def worth a god hard look, or i wouldnt have posted it at all. resistance at or near the upper bollie $14.15 area, where its topped out in the recent past. again the 30m, 15m, and 5m charts all have superb runs.
UMC im going against the grain a bit here too....normally wouldnt post a chart so close to the upper bollie, but its started to push it north some, and looks like it might be a clean break of the 200MA this time. a $3.28 stock that might have some nice intraday or swing trades in it....especially if the fundamentals are there to send it north even more. for this one, 30m and 60m charts look the best to me, and they might be a bit top heavy here....FOLLOW THE RULES! dont try and chase, let the trades come to you!
AES just has a MACD cross here, but last time id had a selloff and a rebound, it did very nice for a run with the rules for swing traders.(check the eom June chart, and the entry mid July)
AMAT i dont know why this didnt show up on yesterdays scan, by the parameters i have it SHOULD HAVE and would have netted some nice healthy gains. closed at $13.06 outside the bollie now, so be safe. 30/15/5min charts can offer some nice entries/trades as well.
BX at $13.85 had a doji today, but...the MACD looks good, the trend is still in our favor, and it could have been just some consolidation after the nice big hollow green candle from thursday. also was pretty decent volume, so watch for reversal, or continuation here.
FR $8.01 with lighter than ideal volume, but another very nice uptrend is established and it has a history of riding that upper bollinger. i like the looks of the 15min or 5min charts here folks. 15min for you swing traders entries/exits, 5min for those who want a day trade
AMD is very liquid at $7.65 and the trends are easy to see. its a bit flat here, so be confident if you enter! MACD just crossed slightly and MAs arent too far apart. its coming off a bottom though and making attempts to cross the 200MA.
lastly, PWAV $2.21 for those that are looking for a little less expensive stock....MACD turned up here, vol is pretty steady, and a few nice green candles could start moving those MAs to conformation. resistance around 2.30 where it topped out before, and the upper bollinger is there as well.
