Upside Plays
Stock Date Play Close +/- Pivot Tgt Vol TgtV Stop
AAPL 07/08 Rolling 167.41 -1.99 138.55 149.91 11M 23M 162.92
Current. Soft step lower with below average volume to slip down from the August high. Not wanting to sell here and holding the previous August levels and 10 day EMA (166.74) as support so it is ok to let it play as it is in good shape.

AAPL 04/15 Test 20 167.41 -1.99 119.69 132.77 11M 25M 162.92
Current.

AF 08/24 Pennant 10.92 -0.18 11.18 13.91 800K 1.6M 10.48
Buy Not Issued. Surged intraday but rolled over as it has done chronically throughout the month. Recovered off the low to close right at the 10 day EMA (10.94) so we are giving it time to set up better as it plays out in the pennant pattern.

AKS 07/23 Test 18 20.60 -0.45 19.65 23.55 7.3M 12M 19.21
Current. Short step down but recovered nicely off the intraday low at the 18 day EMA (20.35). Working lower in a very controlled manner so far and looks good though it may test a bit more.

AKS 07/13 Test 50 20.60 -0.45 17.24 20.58 7.3M 12M 19.21
Current.

ANR 08/05 Pennant 33.20 -0.98 34.64 42.31 4M 6.2M 33.38
Exited. Eased lower with below average volume but it broke the up trendline so we cut it loose. Going to see if it can set back up and resume so that we can reenter.

ANSS 08/22 Pennant 36.23 +0.18 36.20 41.95 469K 775K 34.58
Current. Lateral move to hold the 10 day EMA (35.80) as support with the pennant pattern still locked in. May be finishing up the pattern soon and is in very good shape right now to break higher.

ASF 08/24 DB hdl 24.72 +0.08 24.88 29.88 76K 300K 23.64
Buy Not Issued. Doji with light trade and we almost moved in after the test lower to the 10 day EMA (24.35) recovered. Held off but if it continues higher Thursday we will move in.

BABY 08/19 Pennant 14.68 -0.06 14.03 16.92 119K 335K 13.77
Low volume doji laterally after coming down from the intraday push higher to close flat. Not making the gains stick, but holding support at the early August levels so we may get a bounce here if it continues to hold.

BBBB 08/19 Flag 35.68 -0.50 36.04 41.75 89K 425K 34.89
Current. Low volume move down but reversed a bit to close with support at the 10 day EMA (35.63). Not able to work higher yet but holding support and the uptrend so we are letting it run.

BEN 06/25 Test 50 93.46 -1.73 71.80 79.95 1.6M 3.4M 90.42
Current. Stepped lower as BEN is finding resistance at 95 still. There is solid support at 90, but we don't want to see anything lower than the 18 day EMA (91.34) with a test back. Still waiting for the move to 100 but we may not get that over the next week.

BHP 08/10 Flag 62.65 -0.20 63.48 72.94 3M 7M 62.21
Current. Doji after reversing off the intraday low to close flat at the 18 day EMA (62.39). Held nice support with the moving average and June/July peaks with the doji and this would be a great place to turn up from to start forming the higher lows.

BIDU 07/29 Flag 343.72 -4.10 355.11 388.45 1.1M 2.5M 335.88
Current. Melted a lower to hold the 18 day EMA (340.17) as support. At the bottom of the late July and early August trading range now so it needs to hold here.

BIDU 07/08 Test 50 343.72 -4.10 281.68 307.85 1.1M 2.5M 346.88
Current.

BIG 08/03 Flag 26.37 +0.77 23.64 27.95 3.6M 3M 24.89
Current. Clicked higher with above average trade to post solid gain. Held the key level with the Tuesday gap higher as retailers had yet another good day. Looks good moving into Thursday.

BLKB 08/19 Flag 19.91 +0.06 19.60 22.94 202K 240K 18.49
Current. Not able to make any headway but recovered solidly off the low to hold the prior August highs as support. Would like to see it start posting more gains here but as support is holding and the trend higher is intact we are leaving it.

BUCY 08/04 DB hdl 30.92 -0.99 31.68 37.94 1.6M 3.4M 31.03
Current. Skipped down with below average volume and reversed just slightly into the close. Serious support at the 30 level so we are looking for that to hold and give BUCY the bounce.

BWA 08/14 Rolling 29.89 -0.44 31.03 35.88 1.5M 2.5M 31.55
Current. Found light resistance at the 10 day EMA (30.41) and turned back modestly. Holding the key levels at the August lows but not punching higher like it needs to do at this level.

BWLD 07/16 Trnd Rv 41.63 +2.70 34.19 41.95 1.1M 925K 39.77
Current. Jumped and got wings as it flew out of the gates with volume. Closed over the prior August highs after keeping all the gains at the close so now we see what it can do at the new level.

CEDC 08/12 Flag 31.40 +0.20 32.15 39.55 2M 1.2M 29.78
Current. Reached way down intraday but tapped the 30 mark and bounce firmly to close flat at the 18 day EMA (30.94) for support. Nice test lower that bounced so we are going to see if CEDC can make a higher low and continue higher.

CRZO 07/23 Test 50 20.93 -0.60 20.56 24.97 487K 1M 20.11
Current. Bumped lower with falling volume but held the 18 day EMA (20.88) as support. Kind of a quick move down over the past two days but that has been seen before this month followed by more gains. Looking for support to hold at the moving average Thursday.

DRIV 08/05 Rolling 34.98 -0.16 35.77 40.91 444K 640K 33.78
Current. Lateral move with below average trade to stay locked in right at the earlier August consolidation. In good shape but we are still waiting for it to break higher from this level.

EMS 08/18 Flag 46.00 +0.22 43.71 49.95 238K 335K 44.22
Current. Reversed the solid intraday gains to close for a side step. Slowing here at 46 and now we see if it works laterally or if it tests back a bit. The 10 day EMA (44.46) was all it took earlier in the month to get things going.

EQR 08/14 Flag 27.82 +0.46 27.39 34.87 3.5M 6.5M 25.64
Current. Held the 10 day EMA (27.27) as support as it eased just a bit higher. Fifth day of working laterally under the 28 dollar mark and now it is time to punch above this.

ESRX 08/06 Test 50 72.63 -0.28 67.39 74.95 2.8M 3.5M 69.91
Current. Lateral doji with average trade right over the previous high in July. Could just be a bit of a continuation doji as ESRX looks strong so we will wait to see if it picks back up Thursday.

FLIR 08/25 Asc Tri 22.97 +0.09 23.31 27.45 975K 2.6M 22.24
Buy Not Hit. Dipped lower to start the day but bounced nicely off the test of the 50 day EMA (22.42) to close just slightly positive. Very good action and we are going to see if it can make something of this test Thursday.

GIS 08/10 Test BO 59.62 +0.38 58.59 67.42 2.1M 4M 57.91
Current. Found resistance at 60 with the intraday high and came back from there a bit but closed for a lateral step. Not able to hang onto gains but not giving anything up yet so we are giving it time.

GTLS 08/12 Cup hdl 20.37 -0.27 22.08 25.95 144K 450K 20.54
Current. Edged lower with deflated volume but bounced quickly off the 50 day EMA (19.78) to hold it as support. In the up trendline still and time to get a reversal from here, or at least hold this level.

HNT 08/20 BullRev 15.55 +0.25 15.21 18.45 1.4M 3.5M 14.57
Current. Slipped higher with improved but under average volume. Still trending higher and looking good so we are letting it play.

IBM 07/08 Rolling 119.47 +0.64 102.98 111.91 4.5M 10M 116.21
Current. After a test way down intraday IBM reversed to hang around at the top of the August trading range. Good recovery off the low as it does not want to give anything up so we are giving it more time. The 120 mark would be a key one to break above.

IBOC 08/19 Test BO 15.21 0.00 15.29 19.65 337K 650K 14.22
Current. Slid laterally after bouncing off the 10 day EMA (14.99) at the low to close for a doji. Nice tight trading over the past two weeks as we wait for the next leg higher.

IDXX 06/08 Test BO 51.06 -0.10 45.64 51.95 246K 700K 49.11
Current. Looking a bit tired at the top of the August trading range after coming back from the intraday press higher. Not giving anything up however so we are going to leave it.

IDXX 05/16 Test 20 51.06 -0.10 41.65 47.55 246K 700K 49.11

INT 07/24 DB hdl 46.36 -0.89 42.20 47.95 437K 700K 45.08
Current. Skipped lower with average trade after nearing the prior August highs on Tuesday. Unless INT starts back up Thursday it will need to test back a bit more before resuming the upside.

JRJC 08/25 Rolling 9.98 -0.08 10.37 13.31 101K 225K 9.64
Buy Not Hit. Edged lower with falling trade as JRJC settles just over support at the 200 day SMA (9.88). If we see support hold here we can start looking for the stock to roll higher and give us the buy.

KLIC 08/14 Pennant 5.38 -0.02 5.58 6.92 509K 1.2M 5.16
Buy Not Hit. Lateral move to a doji that held the 18 day EMA (5.24) as support. Nice move along the pennant pattern but may turn a little lower from here to keep the pennant going. However, it was a nice test so we are going to watch in case it bounces higher from here.

LINE 08/22 ABCD Up 21.33 -0.29 21.88 25.95 1M 1.8M 20.55
Buy Not Issued. Stepped lower again to hold the prior August lows as support. Need to see signs of life here to keep us interested.

LNN 08/22 Asc Tri 43.95 -2.67 46.62 53.75 342K 450K 43.64
Current. Not exactly what we wanted as it dumped back to the 10 day EMA (43.96) after entering. However, if it holds here or the 18 day EMA (42.40) we can add more positions.

LPX 08/17 Flag 7.58 +0.30 5.80 7.88 3M 2.5M 6.98
Current. Gapped higher to a hanging man doji with just over average trade. If it does not break higher Thursday but holds around this level, seriously consider locking in some gain.

LTD 08/14 Flag 15.28 -0.02 14.56 17.55 3.2M 5.8M 14.08
Current. Reversed the intraday gains to close flat for a doji over the prior August highs. Holding this level over the prior highs and starting to flatten out some so we are letting it play.

MOS 07/22 Flag 51.68 -0.37 51.85 61.78 3.9M 10M 52.87
Current. Squeezed a bit lower as it tests some at the 50 day EMA (50.72) and prior August low that is just a bit higher. Looking for this level to hold and then for MOS to reverse higher.

MR 07/01 Test BO 31.54 -0.61 27.62 33.88 777K 1.2M 30.22
Current. Stepped down with average volume to hold the 10 day EMA (31.36) as support. Still not the strongest action but holding support with the pullback so we are giving it time. Has used the 18 day EMA (30.90) pretty consistently as support recently so it may need to test back a bit more.

MR 06/17 Test BO 31.54 -0.61 26.53 31.45 777K 1.5M 31.58
Current.

MRVL 05/26 Asc Bse 14.40 +0.31 11.85 14.00 11M 17M 13.11
Current. Bumped higher with improved trade to close for a new August high. Solidly trending higher here and just letting it work for us.

NFLX 06/22 DB hdl 43.97 -0.49 41.38 49.95 804K 2.9M 43.91
Current. Short move lower with falling volume to keep the pullback going. Holding the short trendline from July as support so this would be a great place to turn around and put in that higher low.

NKE 08/11 Cup hdl 55.45 +0.29 57.50 65.95 3.3M 4.5M 55.21
Current. Doji at the 50 day EMA (54.86) for support as well as the small July gap up. At a key level to hold so it needs to turn higher off this doji.

NOV 08/05 Rev HS 38.22 -0.28 37.14 42.88 4.9M 9M 37.89
Current. Gapped down but held the July and August peaks as support as it recovered off the low. This is a strong level to hold and would be a good sign of strength to turn higher from here.

NTGR 07/28 Test BO 16.75 -0.14 17.05 19.95 183K 350K 16.07
Current. Quick step lower to bounce off of the 18 day EMA (16.59) as support. Nice little test here but another day lower to keep it going would not hurt as long as it keep things tidy and holds this level.

NVTL 08/22 Cup hdl 10.03 -0.08 10.36 12.44 340K 900K 9.63
Buy Not Issued. Holding 10 and the 18 day EMA (10.04) as support with this side step on very low volume. Taking things slow here and we are waiting for things to pick up before moving in.

PH 08/07 DB hdl 49.78 -0.55 48.82 58.77 1.1M 2.6M 48.11
Current. Quiet step back down from new August high posted Tuesday. Hesitance there and needs to test back a little. The uptrend is in solid shape though so it is ok to let it test back a bit here with the 10 day EMA (49.13) the first place we will look to hold.

PMTI 07/25 Test 50 14.06 -0.15 14.63 17.88 221K 400K 14.55
Current. Came down from intraday gain to simply keep working laterally along the 50 day EMA (13.80) as support. Looking a bit tentative with the move higher but with solid support we can give it more time to try and make something stick.

PNC 08/13 BullRev 42.03 +0.01 42.87 51.95 3.7M 8M 39.87
Current. Doji for a lateral move to hold support at the 10 day EMA (41.43). Holding light support and in good shape to break higher from this level so we are being patient.

PNRA 08/24 DB hdl 53.75 +0.40 53.75 62.45 553K 875K 51.77
Entered today. Dipped lower and reversed so we picked it up as it was closing positive. Bought it below the buy point but it is looking great.

PRFT 07/27 Asc Tri 7.87 -0.10 7.24 8.94 113K 220K 7.54
Sluggish at the 8 dollar mark with the small step lower, but showing strength with the nice spring back up off the 10 day EMA (7.71). Now we see if it test back from here or flattens out and pauses before resuming the move higher.

RL 08/17 Flag 68.17 +0.64 66.04 74.95 1.2M 2.4M 62.88
Current. Holding the 10 day EMA (66.98) as light support as it trends higher. Moving slowly here as it prepares to take out the prior August high over the 70 mark.

SBUX 06/23 Test 50 19.35 -0.15 14.82 17.95 8.4M 18M 18.49
Current. Side step with low volume but holding the 10 day EMA (19.20) easily as support. Still a bit mushy over the past few days, but is not giving up any gains at all. Going to give it time to get moving again.

SHW 08/18 Rev HS 60.38 -0.32 60.98 69.95 1.8M 2M 58.68
Buy Not Issued. Gap lower to hold support at the 18 day EMA (60.18) after giving up the intraday attempt at a reversal. Not very strong action so we were not buying, but holding support so we are giving it time to get headed in the right direction again.

SLT 08/25 Pennant 13.87 +0.67 13.54 17.24 2.4M 3M 12.56
Buy Not Issued. Gapped today, as it has a tendency to do, and never came back to give us an entry. Need to wait for a test back from here so we can move in.

SMTC 08/11 Test 50 18.14 -0.27 17.68 20.95 420K 850K 17.44
Current. Very tidy move lower to hold over 18 and a bit of light support. Not a bad test at all so we are going to see where it settles, with somewhere like the 18 day EMA (17.78) in mind.

TEX 07/30 Trnd Rv 16.80 +0.17 15.17 18.48 3.9M 4.2M 15.14
Current. Squeezed higher to remain just under the prior August high. Had looked ready to test back on Tuesday, but is not giving anything up yet so it may just flatten out a bit as support from the moving averages rises to meet it.

THC 08/24 Flag 4.69 -0.01 4.73 5.95 4.1M 12M 4.32
Entered today. After coming back a bit from the intraday move higher THC held its level solidly so we moved in. Looking good coming out of the flag pattern.

TIBX 08/20 Pennant 8.99 -0.16 9.34 11.94 3.1M 3.2M 8.79
Buy Not Issued. Settled lower with average volume to hold the 18 day EMA (8.99) as support. Really want it to hold here to keep the post gap trading range intact or it may need to test back a bit further than we would like. If it turns around here though all is good.

TITN 08/22 Cup 13.04 -0.40 12.95 16.68 103K 450K 12.32
Entered today. Pulled back with low volume so we used that to enter as it was near support. Solidly in the uptrend and poised to continue higher.

TKC 08/07 Test BO 17.04 -0.22 16.10 19.64 483K 1M 16.38
Current. Short step lower to a doji but holding the support we want at the 17 dollar mark. It can move a bit lower and stay in the uptrend but this would still be a great level to hold.

TYC 07/10 Test 50 31.49 -0.47 26.75 31.95 3.7M 5.5M 30.78
Current. Be careful here. With the gap lower mid August, recovery just over the prior peak, and then the pullback it is not the strongest action. Bounced off support at the 18 day EMA (31.03) at the low but still need to watch it here.

UTHR 08/07 Flag 91.08 -0.21 92.66 103.94 241K 875K 88.82
Current. Came back from a nice intraday press higher to close flat with the 18 day EMA (91.11) as support. Low volume move and still waiting for UTHR to get moving again. As the moving average is holding though we are going to be patient.

WFT 08/13 Cup 20.52 +0.10 20.85 23.98 9.2M 15M 19.39
Current. A sizeable pullback Tuesday, but it bounced Wednesday at the July and August highs so if it continues up from here it is ok to add more positions or even initiate new ones.

XLNX 08/25 Flag 22.17 +0.02 22.44 26.95 5.1M 8.5M 21.54
Buy Not Hit. Showing a 1-2-3 pullback like the market, only better as it holds over the prior August peaks. Could break higher soon for us to present a good entry.

Downside Plays
Stock Date Play Close +/- Pivot Tgt Vol TgtV Stop
AAP 08/20 BearFla 42.72 -0.29 42.62 38.85 1.7M 2.2M 44.12
Current. Skipped higher intraday but got swatted back down from resistance at the 10 day EMA (43.37). Looking weak here but we are still waiting for it to break below the August lows to start the real gains coming in.

AMZN 08/19 BearFla 84.00 -0.19 84.18 75.58 3.6M 7.5M 85.77
Buy Not Issued. Interesting move with the doji over the 50 day EMA (83.38) as support. Key level to give up before we move into the downside play.

AVAV 08/01 BearFla 27.98 -0.57 28.04 25.11 77K 250K 28.88
Current. Reversed the gains of the week to close at the August lows for support. These levels at 28 are key as they continue to hold, but with resistance coming into play AVAV may be weakening a bit.

BKE 08/22 Put 27.02 +0.59 26.18 23.22 1.2M 1.8M 27.66
Current. Gapped to a doji with under average volume but got held down by resistance at the 200 day SMA (27.55). Looks good to turn down from here off this doji at resistance.

BRCM 08/24 Put 27.81 +0.11 27.48 24.45 6.7M 10M 28.46
Buy Not Issued. Struggling a bit at 28 still as it cannot hang onto the intraday gains at the close. Support at the 18 day EMA (27.44) is still holding though but if BRCM keeps struggling it looks good to give it up.

CUB 08/19 Dbl Top 37.67 -1.03 37.94 33.38 107K 250K 39.21
Buy Not Issued. Stumbled lower all day to break below the 50 day EMA (38.07). Maybe could have entered here but would now love a continuation move that tests the 50 day EMA (38.07) and fails. That would provide a very good entry.

FFIV 08/24 HdShldr 34.05 -0.19 33.97 30.88 1.3M 3M 35.77
Buy Not Issued. Looking weak as it tested higher but rolled back into the close. Still not entering as the market is being very quiet and pulling back slowly. Going to keep watching it closely though in case it breaks lower from here.

HCBK 08/14 Dbl Top 13.06 +0.24 13.44 11.42 12M 9M 13.26
Current. Reversed the Tuesday downside but got bumped down from the intraday high at resistance from the 200 day SMA (13.20). Testing the moving average now and looking likely to fail at this level.

ICE 07/16 Put 92.98 -0.39 89.65 81.45 1.4M 2.8M 89.44
Current. Important point for the play as it pulls back here. Broke over the July/August highs and gave it up, and is now at some support at 90. We see its stripes here.

IM 08/13 Put 16.91 +0.18 16.56 14.15 2.2M 2M 17.06
Buy Not Issued. Edged higher to close just over the 50 day EMA (16.85). Better volume on the day and looking like it may gap so we are not touching it yet.

IWM 08/25 Put 58.51 +0.13 58.18 55.05 34M 50M 59.15
Buy Not Issued. Side step with below average volume and refusing to give anything up. As the market will not sell right now we may not get the play here, but we will patient and see.

JNPR 08/19 Put 23.22 -0.41 23.90 23.32 10M 12M 24.41
Current. Slipped lower with rising trade to continue the downside for the third straight day after the gap and rollover Friday. Not looking like slowing down yet.

LMT 08/05 Put 74.58 +0.15 74.54 70.04 4.2M 3.6M 75.66
Current. Doji under resistance at the 18 day EMA (75.07) with above average volume. Trying to put in a lower high here so we are letting it play.

MS 08/17 Dbl Top 29.53 -0.66 29.55 25.35 15M 27M 30.64
Buy Not Issued. Ticked the buy point after the bounce test, but we are not moving into the downside with any vigor today considering the very modest market pullback.

OMG 08/19 HdShldr 28.54 +0.17 29.88 24.91 384K 400K 30.92
Buy Not Issued. Looking like it may bounce up off this doji to around the 30 dollar mark. It is fine if it does that and we will see if it stalls there and fails.

PFCB 08/24 BearFla 31.93 +0.40 31.11 27.86 421K 750K 32.21
Buy Not Hit. Crept higher with very light trade to close just over the 50 day EMA (31.84). Also at resistance from the early August lateral move and this would be a nice place to see if fail. If it keeps moving higher with the dangerously low volume though we will be patient and see where it runs out of gas.

PG 08/11 BearFla 53.36 -0.04 52.87 49.55 9.4M 12M 54.11
Buy Not Issued. Doji for a lateral move after getting shoved back down by resistance from the 200 day SMA (53.78). Stalling here but we are waiting for it to fail and sell off before moving in.

RHB 08/12 BearFla 21.54 +0.02 21.51 17.86 153K 285K 22.11
Current. Lateral move after coming back from the intraday press higher. Stalling here and not making any headway but the market still refuses to sell.

SMH 08/14 BearRev 25.17 +0.26 23.96 22.08 9.2M 15M 24.41
Current. Small step higher to keep bumping at the early August high. Now we see what the market has left in the tank.

SPY 08/18 Rollove 103.17 +0.01 98.94 95.03 194M 225M 100.41
Current. Stalling here as SPY keeps working laterally. Need to see what SPY and the market have left in the tank or if it can start to roll back.
