Stock Picks Recap for 10/28/11
With each stock's recap, we will include a (with market support) or (without market support) tag, designating whether the trade triggered with or without market directional support at the time. Anything in the first five minutes will be considered WITHOUT market support because market direction cannot be determined that early.
NTGR triggered long (with market support) and initially just worked enough for a partial, then would have probably stopped you out, but the trade sure worked great after that:
In the Messenger, Rich's NFLX call at the open triggered long (without market support due to opening five minutes) and worked great:

BIIB triggered long (with market support) and worked:
Rich's FFIV triggered long (with market support) and didn't work initially:

There's a nice session. Even though the GBPUSD stopped for a small loss, the EURUSD worked great and is still going, almost 300 pips in the money as I write this. See both sections below.
US Dollar Index intraday with market directional lines:
New calls and Chat this evening to wrap up the week.
EURUSD:
Triggered long at A, hit first target at B, which looks like a blip now, still holding with a stop under the black line, way in the money:
GBPUSD:
Triggered long at A and was looking good to start but stopped for 20+ pips just barely at B. Note that it then turned up and ran straight to R1 at C...to the pip:
Tradesight Market Preview for 10/27/11
The ES bounced back 13 handles to settle higher on the day but below the key 1250 level. As expected the market is “working” the 1250 area. Expect more of this in the days to come.
The NQ futures ended little changed with a small gain on the day. Price tested but held the 200dma. Keep a close eye on the MACD which is just beginning to look vulnerable. It takes time for the momentum indicators in the daily time frame to change character so let the chart develop and be open minded to both sides of the tape in the next few candles.
The multi sector daily chart shows relative strength developing in the XAU again.
The 10-day NYSE Trin is getting closer to the 1.35 oversold threshold again.
The OSX may be developing strength vs. the underlying oil futures which would be bullish for the sector. This is still a very immature divergence but one very worth monitoring.
The OSX was the top gun on the day, closing at a new high on the move and setting up for a move towards the 50% fib retracement.
The BKX posted an inside day, still below the key 40 level.
The SOX was little changed and remains below the September highs.
The BTK was the last laggard on the day. Price settled above both the 10 and 50 period moving averages and is still in the same range.
Gold broke bullishly broke back above the defining trend line. Keep a close eye on how price interacts with the 50dma just overhead.
Oil was lower on the day but held above the 90 near term support level.

Another very dull overnight session, but a great move in the US session got us a clean winner for about 45 pips. See GBPUSD below. New calls and Chat tonight, but first look at GDP for Q3 in the morning is a quarterly number that we trade half size ahead of.
Here's a look at the US Dollar Index intraday with market directional lines:
GBPUSD:
Under our order staggering, the GBPUSD went only 1 pip above the trigger level above A on the chart, which might have triggered 1 piece of your trade (or not); INSERT INTO `wp_posts` (`ID`, `post_author`, `post_date`, `post_date_gmt`, `post_content`, `post_title`, `post_category`, `post_excerpt`, `post_status`, `comment_status`, `ping_status`, `post_password`, `post_name`, `to_ping`, `pinged`, `post_modified`, `post_modified_gmt`, `post_content_filtered`, `post_parent`, `guid`, `menu_order`, `post_type`, `post_mime_type`, `comment_count`) VALUES and stopped. Triggered short at B, hit first target at C, closed second half on a lowered stop at D:
