AAPL 07/08 Rolling 165.31 +2.48 138.55 149.91 16M 23M 159.21
Current. Solid gains with rising volume but closed off the intraday high to follow the signature move of the day. AAPL still looks strong at this level by holding the 10 day EMA (163.38) easily and can continue trending nicely along.

AAPL 04/15 Test 20 165.31 +2.48 119.69 132.77 16M 25M 159.21
Current.

AGU 07/23 Rev HS 48.57 +1.03 43.84 50.94 2.1M 5M 46.44
Current. Opened to hold the 10 day EMA (47.55) as support and then posted solid gains from there. Holding where it needs to in this pretty decent lateral consolidation.

AKS 07/23 Test 18 20.59 +0.75 19.65 23.55 7.8M 12M 19.21
Current. Moved up nicely after holding a key level at the low with the trendline from July. Benefited from BHP's earnings and guidance to post solid gains but needs to keep this action going.

AKS 07/13 Test 50 20.59 +0.75 17.24 20.58 7.8M 12M 19.21
Current.

ANR 08/05 Pennant 33.76 +1.29 32.88 39.92 4.4M 6.2M 30.89
Buy Not Issued. Solid move up with rising volume but we were waiting until after the FOMC worked through to do any buying. A test Thursday that holds and then starts back up is a buy.

BEN 06/25 Test 50 94.20 +1.59 71.80 79.95 1.6M 3.4M 89.94
Current. Solid step higher with just under average volume. Holding nicely in the lateral August consolidation as the 10 day EMA (90.62) rises to meet it. May get a bump from the moving average, but we'll see.

BHP 08/10 Flag 63.20 +1.29 63.48 72.94 5.9M 7M 60.44
Entered today. Clicked higher on volume with improved earnings and guidance. Held the gains into the close so we moved in. In good shape to run higher.

BIDU 07/29 Flag 348.63 +2.80 355.11 388.45 1.1M 2.5M 335.88
Current. Slid laterally on the below average volume to continue holding the 10 day EMA (346.62) in this very tidy consolidation. Looking good and just waiting for a boost from trade to get it going.

BIDU 07/08 Test 50 348.63 +2.80 281.68 307.85 1.1M 2.5M 346.88
Current.

BIG 08/03 Flag 23.95 -0.35 23.64 27.95 1.6M 3M 21.99
Current. Short test back on below average volume to hold the 10 day EMA (23.74) as support. At good support now and this would be a good place to start the move up out of the flag pattern.

BTU 07/23 Flag 34.98 -0.08 34.18 39.77 6.5M 8M 32.31
Current. Stepped laterally to hold the August levels but dipped lower intraday for a nice test of the 18 day EMA (34.07) that bounced sharply. Still holding where it needs to and looking for a move higher from this level.

BUCY 08/04 DB hdl 33.24 +2.59 31.68 37.94 3.7M 3.4M 30.81
Current. Shot higher with volume with analyst news of improved oil and coal orders. Looking strong here and now time to see what it can do after punching above the June and July (32.75) peaks.

BWLD 07/16 Trnd Rv 39.46 +0.20 34.19 41.95 360K 925K 38.28
Current. Lateral move to stay right on top of the 10 day EMA (39.14) as support. Nice test here and in good shape to move up from here if it tries to.

CBEY 08/01 Rolling 16.05 -0.10 14.28 16.94 299K 575K 15.38
Current. Volatile movement intraday but closed for a short side step. Has yet to make any headway here, but doing what it needs to by holding the gap so we still like the action.

CME 07/28 Test TL 282.02 +6.02 269.77 299.74 1M 1.5M 269.91
Current. Pressed higher as trade picked up, but still finding the 50 day EMA (282.54) tough resistance to overcome. This is where we need it to break through.

CMG 06/23 Asc Tri 91.11 -1.26 80.67 90.95 450K 950K 92.64
Current. Gapped down to a doji that tested widely intraday. Could not hold the Tuesday level at the 18 day EMA (91.68) but did hold the June peak with the intraday low. We would really like to see CMG hold here.

CRZO 07/23 Test 50 21.30 -0.15 20.56 24.97 417K 1M 19.44
Current. Tried for gains intraday but fell back with no trade to sustain it. Looks a little weak at the previous August peak just under 22 but is solidly in the uptrend so we are giving it a chance here.

CTRP 06/24 Dbl btm 51.65 +0.33 43.38 49.85 427K 2M 49.78
Current. Slow day with very low volume but trending slowly higher along the up trendline. Not much going on here and right now and just waiting for things to get rolling again.

DRIV 08/05 Rolling 34.89 +0.48 35.77 40.91 412K 640K 33.78
Current. Reversed the Tuesday action by posting a bit of upside. Did close off the intraday high as the market came back late in the day but still starting the move in the right direction. Want to see DRIV start to add to the upside.

ESRX 08/06 Test 50 67.55 -0.11 67.39 74.95 1.9M 3.5M 65.77
Current. Side step to a doji on below average trade. Holding the 50 day EMA (66.33) on the low still to remain in good shape. At the support it needs to hold and so we are just waiting for ESRX to get the ball rolling.

FCS 07/06 Test 50 8.77 +0.46 7.38 9.91 3M 3.4M 8.14
Current. Trade picked up as FCS raced higher out of the gates. Held the gains into the close to make for a very strong move. Right back in the mix from the late July consolidation and nearing resistance as the 9 dollar mark so its time for the good gains to keep coming.

FCX 08/10 Flag 62.98 +1.10 63.22 75.95 13M 21M 59.21
Buy Not Issued. Solid step up on the below average trade. Looks good and if it can continue higher from here it is a buy.

FSLR 07/29 Test 50 144.99 -1.54 170.11 198.89 2M 4M 160.77
Buy Not Issued. Very small step back on low volume to stay out of the charge higher. Holding in a very tight range at the July low so we are going to see if it can bounce.

FSLR 07/15 Test 20 144.99 -1.54 151.25 170.95 2M 4M 162.94
Current.

GIS 08/10 Test BO 57.84 -0.35 58.44 67.42 2.2M 4M 56.48
Buy Not Issued. Working laterally still under resistance at the 18 day EMA (58.26) and mid July lows. Not giving up anything from this level but the resistance is in the crosshairs and needs to be eliminated.

GOOG 07/21 Test BO 458.58 +4.64 439.68 459.88 2.3M 4M 444.94
Current. Short move higher as trade picked up but closed off the intraday high like many stocks. Looking solid and in good position to keep trending higher.

GOOG 07/08 Rolling 458.58 +4.64 408.88 444.94 2.3M 4M 444.94
Current.

HLTH 07/03 Asc Bse 14.02 +0.05 13.29 15.88 198K 1.9M 14.11
Trailing Stop. Did not participate in the rally to reverse the Tuesday action so we closed it.

IBM 07/08 Rolling 119.29 +1.50 102.98 111.91 6.3M 10M 116.21
Current. Worked higher as trade increased for a solid day of gains. Just working nicely at this post gap level and taking things easy for now.

IDXX 06/08 Test BO 50.44 +0.06 45.64 51.95 369K 700K 48.32
Current. Lateral step to a doji that held the 10 day EMA (50.18) as support. Closed off the high as did many stocks and holding this trend higher so just leaving it alone for now.

IDXX 05/16 Test 20 50.44 +0.06 41.65 47.55 369K 700K 48.32

ILMN 08/06 Test 50 36.37 +0.65 36.56 42.95 926K 2.2M 34.57
Buy Not Issued. Nice move up off the 50 day EMA (35.60) but did so on low volume and could not hold the gains into the close so we did not pick it up. Needs to keep the solid action going and we will look at a buy if it can hold onto the gains.

INT 07/24 DB hdl 45.37 -0.37 42.20 47.95 302K 700K 43.97
Current. Soft step back on below average volume to tap the 10 day EMA (44.85) as support on the low. Nice little flag pattern here and looking ripe for a new buy.

ISRG 06/10 Rev HS 229.68 +3.71 166.54 194.95 566K 2M 220.38
Current. Low volume move up off the 10 day EMA (225.82) for a small step higher. Working nicely along this level and looks strong heading into Thursday.

JOYG 07/28 ABCD Up 42.09 +1.75 38.11 45.95 3M 5M 39.97
Very solid step higher after testing the 10 day EMA ( 40.50) on the low and bouncing sharply. Still need more of a test back before we will pick up some positions.

MON 07/29 Flag 82.46 -1.25 84.52 93.65 7.8M 8M 81.32
Current. Small gap down but then reached much lower to the 50 day EMA (81.05) and reversed so we left it. Need to see what it can manage from here.

MOS 07/22 Flag 53.04 +1.12 51.85 61.78 5.3M 10M 50.94
Current. Solid gains on rising trade for an interesting move. Looks good so we are going to see where it can go from here.

MR 07/01 Test BO 31.21 -2.71 27.62 33.88 2M 1.2M 30.22
Current. Reversed the strong Tuesday move with the downside out of the gates. High volume move and we need to be careful here. Mind your stops.

MR 06/17 Test BO 31.21 -2.71 26.53 31.45 2M 1.5M 31.58
Current.

MRVL 05/26 Asc Bse 13.78 +0.47 11.85 14.00 8.2M 17M 12.94
Current. Solid step up to follow the doji on Tuesday. Held onto the intraday gains and looks good to continue if it can get volume to pick up. If volume stays out of the move then we may need to watch it a little more carefully.

NFLX 06/22 DB hdl 46.28 +0.19 41.38 49.95 880K 2.9M 43.91
Current. Lateral move to a doji on below average volume. Really slowing down here at the July peak (46.46). May be time to test back a bit before resuming the upside.

NKE 08/11 Cup hdl 57.52 +0.73 57.50 65.95 3M 4.5M 55.21
Entered today. Opened at the 10 day EMA (56.62) and moved higher from there with improved trade. Held onto the gains solidly at the close so we picked it up.

NKTR 08/01 Flag 7.77 +0.32 7.19 8.97 962K 1M 7.11
Current. Shot higher from the start and closed only slightly off the intraday high. Volume picked up to make for a solid day of trading and NKTR is in good shape as it follows the uptrend higher.

NOV 08/05 Rev HS 37.01 +0.81 37.14 42.88 4.4M 9M 34.49
Current. Modest step higher after holding support with the 18 day EMA (36.04) on the low. Closed a bit off the high as did many stocks but a good first step higher here.

NTGR 07/28 Test BO 16.81 +0.13 17.05 19.95 220K 350K 16.07
Current. Baby step higher with just under average volume. Not much going on with the Wednesday action here but holding support at the 18 day EMA (16.47) and uptrend nicely. Going to let it continue working.

PH 08/07 DB hdl 49.46 +1.85 48.82 58.77 1.9M 2.6M 46.66
Current. Trotted up on rising trade to post very nice gains on the day. Liking the action with the decisive move over the May, June and July peaks and going to see what PH can do from here.

PMTI 07/25 Test 50 14.66 +0.36 14.63 17.88 190K 400K 14.55
Current. Held nicely here at the July trendline and ticked slightly higher. Now it's time to show the bounce.

PNK 08/01 ABCD Up 10.46 -0.11 10.76 12.95 376K 1.1M 10.02
Current. Short step back after being unable to hold the intraday gains. Still in the uptrend so going to give it a chance to continue working higher.

PNRA 08/11 Cup hdl 53.76 +0.62 54.21 60.95 563K 875K 52.31
Buy Not Issued. Held the 50 day EMA (53.16) at the open and then move up solidly from there. Did not get in as it could not hold the gains into the close and trade backed off slightly. A good first move but just want to see something hold before we jump in.

POT 08/06 Rev HS 95.02 +1.05 99.10 114.88 6M 10M 94.32
Current. Gapped lower but saved itself after recovering into the close. Holding the July trendline still and we need to see it continue to do so Thursday.

PRFT 07/27 Asc Tri 7.53 +0.06 7.24 8.94 181K 220K 6.73
Buy Not Issued. Stepping laterally along the 10 day EMA (7.45) after failing to hold the intraday gains. Need to see it hold the action into the close before we pick it up and it is just not doing it yet.

QCOM 07/27 Test 18 46.37 +0.97 47.04 52.65 16M 20M 45.55
Current. Surged higher after holding the 50 day EMA (45.24) as support. Better volume and good gains despite closing off the intraday high. Has held where it needed to and looks ready to start the upside again.

QCOM 06/24 Asc Tri 46.37 +0.97 45.17 52.65 16M 22M 45.55
Current.

RIMM 07/22 Flag 71.73 -0.38 76.78 85.92 12M 20M 75.11
Exited. Tried to recover from the Tuesday gap down but bounced off the 50 day EMA (73.27) as resistance so we cut the cord.

RTI 07/30 Trnd Rv 18.27 +0.53 17.71 22.48 326K 800K 16.48
Current. Dipped slightly down to the 18 day EMA (17.43) after opening but trampolined up from there to post decent gains. Trade is still below average but rising and holding support where it needs to (18 day EMA). Setting up nicely to the upside.

SBUX 06/23 Test 50 19.23 +0.37 14.82 17.95 12M 18M 17.88
Current. Ticked higher on just below average volume. Pushed higher after only one day of rest and looking strong. Going to let it continue to work.

SMA 07/28 Pennant 10.06 +0.25 8.72 11.74 425K 345K 8.11
Buy Not Issued. Added to the gains without ever testing back so we are dropping it.

Buy Not Hit. Eased higher on slightly improving volume to follow the Tuesday doji. Held support at the June peak and 50 day EMA (16.77) nicely and looks good. Just needs better volume with continued action like this and we can look at moving in.

SOHU 08/06 ABCD Up 62.57 -0.32 64.18 74.91 571K 1.3M 60.12
Current. Slid laterally on light volume after testing the 50 day EMA (61.44) on the low and bouncing softly. Holding where it needs to and at a good place to move up from.

SOLF 08/06 Pennant 7.67 +0.03 7.94 9.77 529K 2.2M 7.38
Buy Not Issued. Held the July highs and 10 day EMA (7.55) easily as support with the very slight gap lower. Did move back up but with no volume we were not interested in a buy. If this upside can continue from here with a bit more volume we will look at a buy.

SWHC 08/10 Cup hdl 5.81 0.00 6.13 7.48 1.1M 2M 5.71
Buy Not Hit. Side step to a doji that tapped support at the 50 day SMA (5.70) for a light test. Very tidy pullback starting mid July and at a great place to bounce up from. This is the level we want to see hold.

TEX 07/30 Trnd Rv 16.10 +0.63 15.17 18.48 3.5M 4.2M 15.14
Current. Solid step higher with average volume to reverse the Tuesday losses. Looking good and still trending higher so we are going to give it a bit of room to play.

TKC 08/07 Test BO 16.06 -0.06 16.10 19.64 1.4M 1M 15.41
Current. Stepped laterally after testing much lower intraday (15.62) where buyers moved in to pick it back up. Nice show of strength here and we are being patient as we wait for the upside to resume.

TYC 07/10 Test 50 31.63 +0.83 26.75 31.95 3.2M 5.5M 29.92
Target Hit. Banked part of our 142% option gain with the solid move higher on improving trade. Looks good here and going to let the rest of it run.

UTHR 08/07 Flag 91.07 +0.13 92.38 103.94 388K 875K 88.82
Buy Not Issued. Side stepped to a doji that tested very nicely at the 18 day EMA (89.95). Flag pattern is finishing up and in great position to bounce so we are ready to move in.

Buy Not Issued. Lateral move to a doji at the 10 day EMA (68.21) for support. Taking it easy at this level and just waiting for the move higher from here before we pick up some positions.

Good first step up after the doji at the 18 day EMA (30.01) Tuesday. Rising trade now and looking good to continue higher out of this very tidy August pullback.

VWO 07/13 Pennant 35.43 +0.39 31.14 35.95 6M 7M 34.48
Current. Short skip higher on rising trade after the Tuesday test of the 18 day EMA (34.94). Held onto all the gains at the close and looking for the gains to continue Thursday.

Buy Not Hit. Moved up to test the 10 day EMA (15.05) as resistance. Volume fading on the move up and we are ready to pick AMMD up as it moves down from here.

AVAV 08/01 BearFla 29.51 -0.22 28.04 25.11 113K 250K 29.78
Current. Lateral step as AVAV continues to struggle at the 200 day SMA (30.13) and early July lows. Not breaking lower as we would like, but we will keep this one as long as it continues to struggle here.

BIIB 07/30 Rolling 49.00 +1.19 47.22 44.00 3.7M 3.2M 47.32

Current. Bounced up on tech news but was not much of a bounce and it continues to look weak. June peaks and 18 day EMA (27.43) still acting as resistance and we are waiting to see if it will break below the 50 day EMA (26.22) to decide whether we will take gain.

DGX 08/11 BearFla 53.62 +0.26 53.13 50.05 772K 2.1M 54.28

Current. Lateral step to a doji under resistance at the 18 day EMA (93.31). Volume is drying up and ICE looks tired here. Just waiting for it to slip back now.

IOC 08/10 Rollove 28.03 +0.85 28.04 25.00 217K 650K 28.11
Bounced up on lower volume for a weak move. Looking to get in with a turn back down from here.

Buy Not Hit. Sliding laterally with a doji to hold well under resistance from the 50 day EMA (53.19). Looking for a little test of the moving average as resistance to provide the bounce lower and give us the buy.

RS 08/06 Put 35.44 +0.92 34.11 30.08 1.1M 1.4M 35.99
Buy Not Hit. Still working along the August levels with resistance from the 18 day EMA (35.63) holding. Waiting for RS to stall out and break lower before we move in.

Current. Slipped lower with the rally of the SP500. Waiting for the test back still to get us closer to an exit.

SVNT 08/07 Put 12.84 +0.43 11.87 10.00 2.2M 5M 12.55
Buy Not Hit. Clicked higher with below average volume but closed off the high after finding the 10 day EMA (13.07) as resistance. Could reverse from here but we are still waiting for the break below the 50 day EMA (12.15) before we move in. Time to see what SVNT does with this test higher.
