Stock Date Play Close +/- Pivot Tgt Vol TgtV Stop
AAPL 11/01 DB hdl 89.91 +1.77 108.74 124.75 43M 65M 107.44
Current. Second consecutive doji on the candlestick as AAPL continues testing the early October lows intraday and bouncing. In position to make the break higher as the market bounces off this test.

AAPL 10/14 Trnd Rv 89.91 +1.77 95.12 119.95 43M 60M 107.44
Current.

ADM 11/11 Trnd Rv 25.79 +0.29 24.78 29.95 9.5M 1.2M 24.11
Current. Second day taking a breather on below average volume after the higher volume upside run. In solid shape.

AFAM 11/13 Test 50 46.89 -0.70 47.65 59.95 281K 400K 44.88
Buy Not Issued. Gapped higher but then closed modestly lower on low trade. Still over the 18 day EMA (46.01) and still in excellent position to continue the move higher.

ALK 10/18 Rev HS 25.35 +0.30 25.49 30.45 1.1M 1.6M 24.48
Current. Riding nicely over near support at the 18 day EMA (24.19) as ALK holds nicely a t support after this test. Holding the breakout and looking to make the renewed breakout run after this test.

APC 11/05 DB hdl 38.16 +0.48 35.87 41.95 7.2M 13M 38.58
Current. Bounced back from tapping the 50 day EMA from below last week, holding the 18 day EMA (36.31) on the lows and bouncing back. Nice orderly rest stop here, sizing up a move toward the 50 day EMA (40.62) and on through.

CASY 11/14 Rev HS 30.47 +0.26 30.49 36.75 976K 855K 28.25
Current. Volatile day, but bounced off the 10 day EMA and posted a modest gain on rising above average volume. Very solid but looking for a breakaway move.

CBST 11/13 Test BO 22.86 -0.60 24.12 30.95 1.8M 1M 22.43
Buy Not Hit. Falling back more than we wanted but managed to hold just over the 50 day EMA on the close. Will see if it can give us a sharp bounce. Lowered the buy point but want to see volume on the break higher again.

CEPH 11/14 DB hdl 75.58 +1.96 75.57 86.95 3.1M 1.6M 72.54
Entered today. Solid return to above average volume as CEPH broke out from the handle to its base. Nice move.

CF 11/13 Rev HS 50.39 -0.05 52.57 63.95 3.7M 6M 48.89
Buy Not Hit. Looking to make a move off the 50 support level and roll back up to the 62ish level, one of the closes near the top of the November range. Now looking to play this as a roll back up in its range. Plenty of gain there, but if it gives us more, i.e. a breakout, that is just fine.

CHK 11/08 DB hdl 21.11 +0.05 22.38 29.95 20M 40M 20.81
Buy Not Issued.

CHK 11/01 DB hdl 21.11 +0.05 24.87 29.95 20M 40M 22.92
Current. Flat move laterally over 20 support, tapping that on the lows and bouncing to close. Low, below average volume as it works laterally below the 10 and 18 day EMA. Holding the gains and setting up for the next break higher.

CMC 10/29 Dbl btm 8.82 -0.46 11.87 16.95 2.4M 3.5M 11.12
Current. Managed to close right at last Thursdays low. It is time for CMC to make a strong move as it is at the bottom of its range.

DIA 11/18 Rolling 84.34 +1.39 83.78 89.92 42M 500M 81.78
Entered today. Bonus play. DIA tested lower and reversed. We took the rest of the prior position off the table, then when the market bottomed in the afternoon and started back up we issued an alert on a new play.

DIA 11/12 Trnd Rv 84.34 +1.39 83.19 89.92 42M 500M 86.89
Exited.

DLTR 11/06 DB hdl 37.58 +0.03 40.08 47.95 2.7M 3M 37.27
Buy Not Issued. Hanging in the handle, unable to provide the breakout that looked promising and near at the end of last week. Holding over the 50 day EMA (37) and still in the pattern.

EMS 11/08 Test BO 36.01 -0.74 35.20 41.38 325K 450K 35.88
Current. Surged but then could not hold the move. Still held over the 10 day EMA (35.32) as EMS holds its breakout uptrend.

EPIQ 11/17 DB hdl 15.19 +0.53 14.98 17.95 353K 450K 13.93
Buy Not Issued. A bit too conservative on this one likely. If it continues this move it is a buy.

EWBC 10/29 Trnd Rv 14.76 -0.24 16.25 19.89 1.3M 2M 16.28
Current. Reached down to the 90 day SMA on the low (13.80) and recovered to close just over the 50 day EMA and 200 day SMA. After this test and shakeout it should be ready to move as it is in excellent overall position. Will be looking at adding some positions as it breaks higher if there is volume there.

FDO 11/11 Cup hdl 27.34 +0.36 28.30 33.95 3.4M 5M 26.32
Current. Still walking laterally over the 18 day EMA (26.66) on below average volume as FDO along with the other discount retailers regroups while holding its pattern. Still in position to renew the breakout move and rally for us.

GOOG 10/29 Dbl btm 297.42 -2.70 370.57 399.75 8.3M 9M 354.88
Current. Reached lower again but then reversed for a modest loss on rising volume. Trying to set up a bounce here and the 10 day EMA (314.50) is the first key test on any bounce.

GXDX 11/17 Test BO 35.40 -0.46 36.21 41.95 482K 345K 34.89
Buy Not Issued. Rallied to 37.39 on the high but then faded to flat, still holding over the 18 day EMA on the close. Strong, above average volume once more. Still in great position to make the next move higher.

HAL 10/20 Dbl btm 17.66 +0.14 18.71 25.95 19M 26M 18.48
Current. Nice tight doji with tail, recovering off the lows as HAL continues in its tightening and orderly 6 week lateral range.

HMSY 11/12 DB hdl 25.53 +0.07 25.84 29.95 242K 375K 24.62
Buy Not Issued. Still working laterally below 26, still looking good for the breakout, still not there yet.

IWM 11/17 Dbl btm 45.03 -0.22 45.72 54.65 98M 145M 43.88
Buy Not Issued. Great test and reversal to show a doji. Twin tails a the reversals the past week. Ready to move in Wednesday as IWM continues higher.

LHCG 11/11 Test BO 34.15 +1.40 32.98 39.75 356K 400K 31.91
Current. Nice continued break higher after moving off the 18 day EMA Monday on solid trade. Nice test, nice bounce.

LMNX 11/12 Test BO 22.43 -0.15 23.45 27.21 428K 500K 21.12
Current. Reached down to the 50 day SMA on the low (21) and then reversed to flat. Rising, average volume. Looks ready to resume higher.

MITI 11/10 Test 50 4.35 -0.38 4.94 5.95 77K 350K 4.59
Buy Not Issued. Looked great Monday and started higher Tuesday. Then the bottom dropped and MITI is right back in the lateral range.

MON 10/28 Dbl btm 74.81 +0.40 85.88 98.00 7.8M 12M 89.91
Current. Second doji as MON holds just over the late October low. Time to mount a bounce.

MYGN 11/14 Test BO 66.10 -1.04 68.15 79.95 1.1M 1.4M 67.11
Buy Not Hit. Still in the test, still holding above the 18 day EMA (65.49) on the close. Very nice set up. Just waiting for the myriad of days of consolidation to play out.

PCLN 11/17 Trnd Rv 56.81 +2.08 56.51 64.00 1.5M 3M 53.11
Entered today. Not a ton of volume but PCLN has a nice base under it and is moving higher toward the 50 day EMA (64.44).

PETS 09/18 Test 18 17.77 +0.03 16.08 19.68 667K 450K 17.78
Current. Sold back Friday, holding near support at the 18 day EMA (17.30) now. PETS is taking a cat nap or something similar, resting a bit on its continued move higher. The best volume has been on the upside, and that shows continued buying.

QCOR 10/16 Cup hdl 8.63 +0.03 7.59 9.21 1.1M 1.2M 8.31
Current. Holding the Monday move off of the test of near support at the 18 day EMA (8.20). Very solid thus far with volume moving back up Monday on the gain, backing off today on some indecision.

RRC 11/14 Trnd Rv 41.77 +0.93 40.81 49.88 3.7M 5.5M 38.42
Entered today. Gapped higher, tested, then started back up. Picked it up on the rebound.

SF 11/05 Dbl btm 36.80 -1.22 46.11 54.95 392K 575K 43.21
Buy Not Hit. Dropping.

SLB 11/13 Dbl btm 50.23 +2.28 52.08 62.95 13M 18M 49.77
Buy Not Issued. Continues its lateral work this week, forming a short 3-day handle to its 5 week base forming at the bottom of its selloff.

SMG 11/17 Cup hdl 28.27 +0.33 28.31 33.95 952K 1.2M 26.33
Buy Not Issued. Tried to extend the move but closed well off its high. Frankly SMG could use a few days moving laterally here. If it continues higher, however, we will look at going ahead and taking some positions and then see how it tests.

SPN 11/04 DB hdl 16.93 +0.39 16.01 24.95 1.2M 2.5M 16.21
Current. Got a bit dicey as it tested lower early, but it held above the Thursday low and rebounded on some rising though still below average volume. Held the range, looking for a renewed bounce here.

SPY 11/12 Trnd Rv 87.08 +1.61 85.55 93.95 520M 450M 89.31
Exited. May have to move right back into this one if the market puts in another bounce her.

SRCL 11/14 DB hdl 61.13 +2.26 59.03 67.95 17M 1M 58.87
Current. Gapped higher on massive volume as SRCL joins the SP500. Great pattern to go along with the news so not inclined to take any off the table just yet.

STE 11/01 DB hdl 30.94 -0.34 34.92 41.95 887K 1.2M 33.55
Exited. Of course Steris managed to make it back to the 200 day SMA on the close after weakening again. Will see if impatience does not come back to bite us.

STLD 10/29 Trnd Rv 7.28 -0.39 12.05 15.95 5.9M 9M 11.11
Current. Closed lower but also above the mid-October lows. Needs to set up a double bottom here for us.

STLD 10/20 Dbl btm 7.28 -0.39 10.76 15.65 5.9M 10M 11.11
Current.

TFSL 10/30 Test BO 13.25 +0.21 13.51 16.31 1.2M 1M 12.56
Current. Strong, above average volume as TFSL starts higher after an intraday test of the 50 day EMA (12.78). Looks very nice to make the break higher.

TS 11/15 Trnd Rv 22.36 -0.29 22.88 29.45 5.9M 6M 21.38
Buy Not Issued. Gapped higher then closed right on the 18 day EMA. Still in the pattern. Just waiting to see if it can show the move.

WCN 11/06 DB hdl 34.64 +0.24 34.92 39.95 1.1M 1.4M 34.12
Current. Fell to the 50 day EMA on the low and then rebounded on rising close to average volume. Nice recovery.

WFC 09/23 Test BO 27.20 -0.63 36.94 41.85 81M 70M 32.11
Exited. Sold off below 27.50. Reversed in the afternoon but still making a new closing low on this leg so got rid of the last positions.

WFC 09/06 Rev HS 27.20 -0.63 33.44 37.95 81M 55M 32.11
Exited.

WFT 11/10 Rolling 12.47 +0.02 13.25 19.95 13M 20M 12.91
Reached lower, recovered to flat, holding the bottom of the pattern and ready to make a bounce.

XTO 10/29 DB hdl 33.62 +0.35 34.70 40.95 10M 20M 35.45
Current. A second doji below the 10 and 18 day EMA (34.28, 34.59) as XTO tries to make a higher low.

IDXX 11/10 Put 31.85 +0.24 33.51 28.55 799K 855K 32.54
Current. Still sliding lower below the 10 day EMA (33.52), but may try to make a bounce as it is showing a doji after a 2-day slide.
