AAPL 07/08 Rolling 192.40 -4.97 138.55 149.91 29M 23M 196.88
Current. Good to sell the calls with this step back. Already filling the gap down to the key 190 level though may have some more downside. If it holds 190 and bounces you buy back the calls.

AAPL 04/15 Test 20 192.40 -4.97 119.69 132.77 29M 25M 196.88
Current.

ANV 10/24 ABCD Up 9.46 -0.34 10.24 11.95 484K 550K 9.52
Buy Not Hit. Rough day for gold and ANV stepped lower here to close at the 50 day SMA (9.48). Continuing to pull back here and will see if it can hold up here instead of testing back to the support at the 9 dollar mark.

ANV 09/12 Flag 9.46 -0.34 9.45 11.61 484K 475K 10.11
Current.

APA 10/13 Test BO 93.85 -4.31 99.71 109.95 3.7M 4M 98.11
Current. It tanked down to the 50 day EMA (93.52); that was actually good compared to many. As this is where it has held many times on the run we will see if it can do so here and then start back up.

APA 09/29 Pennant 93.85 -4.31 92.37 105.95 3.7M 4M 98.11
Current.

APOL 09/24 Flag 60.06 -12.91 72.46 81.95 24M 3.4M 71.98
Exited. Not much to work with here. Went ahead and moved out as it started to sell further after surging up some intraday.

ASIA 10/01 Asc Bse 19.86 -1.34 20.74 23.85 1.6M 900K 21.97
Current. A gap lower and then sold some more, but rebounded off the lows so leaving it for now. One of the least atrocious on the day and will see if it can begin to bounce a bit from this level.

BCSI 09/14 Pennant 23.08 -1.44 19.05 24.88 1M 825K 23.91
Trailing Stop. Putting a stop to this one as it hit our trailing stop with a move below the 24 support. Not able to bounce after last week's nice test back.

BEN 06/25 Test 50 104.47 -4.53 71.80 79.95 2.5M 3.4M 106.88
Trailing Stop. lower, tried to recover, and then slipped back to hit our trailing stop and take us out of the play. Had been cruising along solidly for months, but two strong days lower and it was time to move out.

BHI 10/27 ABCD Up 42.12 -1.96 44.42 50.95 5.7M 7.5M 43.31
Buy Not Hit. A pull back from over 48 over the past week and a half, but not holding the 44 support here to keep the ABCD pattern in play. Going to drop it until it can set back up.

BIDU 10/19 ABCD Up 396.83 +13.17 408.68 464.94 4.8M 2M 416.88
Current. Opened at the 50 day EMA (383.81) and continued to bounce higher to we left it. Solid volume on the move and like how it is running up when not many were. Some resistance around 400 to deal with so we will see if BIDU can continue up on Thursday to keep things looking good here.

BLKB 09/30 Flag 21.18 -1.03 22.46 27.95 210K 345K 21.48
Buy Not Issued.

BLKB 08/19 Flag 21.18 -1.03 19.60 22.94 210K 240K 22.54
Trailing Stop. Slipped below the support at the 50 day EMA (21.84) here to take us out of the play as it hit our stop. Next support is clear down to 20 and we will see how BLKB can work there, but from a safe distance.

BTU 10/27 Test 18 39.64 -2.54 42.68 49.95 6.4M 7M 41.22
Buy Not Hit. Dropping this one as it fell through the support at the 18 day EMA (41.35). Will need to see if it can set back up over the 38 mark now.

BX 10/24 Test BO 12.90 -1.49 14.77 17.88 9.2M 5M 14.12
Buy Not Issued. Giving up the 50 day EMA (14.30) in a big way here to turn the test lower into something more than that. Dropping it.

CAST 09/18 Cup hdl 6.40 -0.51 7.32 8.38 413K 300K 7.78
Exited. Nice reach lower and bounce Tuesday, but not able to rebound off the lows here so we moved out. Some support levels here at 6-6.50ish, but not looking like it will do much with them.

CAT 10/24 Test BO 54.43 -2.26 57.11 63.95 12M 12M 55.04
Buy Not Issued. Very nice doji at support Tuesday, but more of a step lower from that here. Will give it more time though as CAT is holding nicely over the September highs (54.34) and can bounce from here. Will see if it can stick here and plow higher to give us a buy.

CGA 10/16 ABCD Up 10.40 -1.23 12.98 16.65 1.2M 850K 12.07
Exited. Cut this one off quickly as it was unable to move back over the 50 day EMA (11.98) but sank through support at 11 instead.

CLF 10/24 Flag 33.17 -2.35 38.12 43.95 6M 5M 35.88
Buy Not Hit. Not looking to add any more positions at this level so dropping it.

CLF 09/28 ABCD Up 33.17 -2.35 31.12 39.95 6M 5.2M 35.87
Current. Stepped lower again as trade picked up slightly. Leaving it on as it did hold the 50 day EMA (32.96), but still not crazy about the action. Will see if it can dig in here and then start back higher.

CME 10/10 ABCD Up 308.02 -8.48 296.21 338.88 739K 1.2M 308.77
Slipping lower here to close just under the 18 day EMA (309.38) with below average trade. Second day lower here as it pulls back from the 325 mark and now a good range to hold with the lower September high here (309.08). Will see if it can start to rebound from this area.

CME 09/26 Flag 308.02 -8.48 300.77 338.88 739K 1.2M 308.77
Current.

COP 10/02 Pennant 49.49 -1.41 46.72 55.95 26M 17M 50.68
Trailing Stop. Hit our stop here with the step lower to take us out of the play. Need to give it some time to cool off and will see if it can hold up at the 50 day EMA (48.21) with a further pullback to give us another buy.

CVO 10/27 ABCD Up 7.03 -0.32 7.48 8.71 289K 650K 6.86
Buy Not Hit. A move lower to follow the Tuesday doji, but holding nicely over the support at 7. September highs coming into play nicely here so will see if CVO starts higher from here as it bounced at this level nicely during the previous session. A move to the 7.50 mark that looks solid is what we want to move in with.

DO 09/26 ABCD Up 100.63 -3.58 93.23 106.95 3.2M 2.4M 101.89
Trailing Stop. Hit our trailing stop with a higher volume step back so we closed it out. Support is back at the 95ish level so it will need to do a bit of testing here before it is ready again.

DWSN 10/15 Asc Bse 25.34 -1.85 29.10 34.95 122K 155K 27.06
Exited. Gently testing lower to start the week, but cut beneath the support at the 50 day SMA (26.93) so it was time to let this one go. Next strong support is at 24 so DWSN looks ready to pull back further.

ELOS 10/22 Pennant 11.13 -0.02 11.48 13.35 435K 385K 10.89
Buy Not Issued. Holding up nicely here over the 11 dollar mark and looking great compared to what we saw everywhere else Wednesday. Letting it play out further in this pennant pattern and looks ready to turn a bit higher here. Just waiting for it to take a couple solid steps higher to get us an entry.

EV 10/20 Asc Tri 28.87 -0.70 30.65 34.95 1.4M 1.2M 28.48
Buy Not Issued. Second day lower here to close at support from the 50 day EMA (28.83) so we are giving it more time. Will see if it holds this support and starts up to keep things looking good. A bounce here would show considerable strength if this type of overall action continues Thursday.

FEIC 10/22 ABCD Up 23.97 -0.93 24.31 27.45 202K 250K 23.31
Buy Not Issued. Not ready to move in here with this step lower beneath the 50 day EMA (24.30). Would have liked to see the moving average hold, but at some support around the 24 mark so will give it some time to bounce at this level to give us a buy.

FFIV 09/30 FlyPlat 45.34 -0.64 40.51 44.95 1.5M 2M 45.48
Current. Light trade with just a very small move lower to the 10 day EMA (44.99). Setting up nicely here and will see if it fills back further to the prior October peak (43.94) or if it can manage a bounce off this moving average.

FLIR 09/28 ABCD Up 28.07 -1.15 28.50 33.88 2.6M 3M 28.38
Exited. Not holding up in the lateral move over the 29 mark with this step lower so we closed it out. Higher volume move back and looks ready to move back further.

FLOW 09/12 Flag 2.57 -0.04 2.60 3.65 325K 335K 2.65
Current. Intraday reach down but a nice recovery so we left it on. Over the 50 day EMA (2.54) at the close and looks good. More support at the 2.50 mark as well so giving FLOW more time to get a bounce higher from here.

GD 09/17 Flag 64.30 -1.48 64.68 74.95 3.7M 2.8M 66.36
Gap lower, filled, and then reversed to close lower on volume. Gave up some support at the 65 mark, but over the 50 day EMA (63.39) so will look at it a bit longer. Want to see a bit of a bounce from here.

GIS 08/07 Test BO 64.89 -0.57 58.59 67.42 2.5M 4M 64.44
Current. Just barely moving lower here to close at support from the 18 day EMA (64.85). Not bad action; a defensive stock so faring well. Will let it continue running laterally from here.

GLD 10/02 ABCD Up 100.73 -1.12 98.89 105.45 19M 14M 101.88
Current. A step lower here off the Tuesday doji. Looks like it will continue the move back so strong support at the 100 mark and bounce there. Still looking to see if this one can run, but need to see where it holds first.

HCN 10/24 Pennant 44.04 -1.16 44.72 49.95 2.7M 2.8M 43.69
Buy Not Issued. Higher intraday but fell back to close lower so we were not buying. Holding the support at the 44 mark though with the September highs so giving it a chance to bounce from here to get us looking at an entry.

HMSY 10/27 Cup hdl 40.35 -0.65 41.74 46.45 412K 445K 40.11
Buy Not Hit. Short move back and not bad at all as it held up nicely at the 18 day EMA (40.44). Letting it make this short test here to see where it will bounce. Want that to be somewhere over 40 and then we can look for an entry if it continues higher

HWD 10/26 ABCD Up 8.33 -1.01 8.51 11.45 316K 450K 7.98
Buy Not Hit. Slammed lower here but on average trade and holding at the 50 day EMA (8.30). A big move but holding so there is no harm in seeing if it can bounce here and get back to a decent level.

ICE 10/27 Test BO 100.61 -2.17 102.88 119.95 1.1M 1.8M 98.78
Buy Not Hit. Testing nicely here still with this move back on just under average trade. Nice support at the 100 mark now directly underneath after four days of testing lower. Will look for a hold and bounce here to give us what we want.

ICE 09/16 Flat 100.61 -2.17 97.35 114.94 1.1M 2.2M 102.91
Current.

ILMN 09/24 Flag 33.37 -8.29 40.75 48.45 16M 2.5M 41.88
Exited. Gave this one the axe as it gapped lower and started to sell some more. Not much we could do with it.

INFY 10/24 Asc Tri 46.39 -0.80 49.26 54.91 2.1M 2.5M 46.77
Current. Stepping below the October trading lows here, but did come to a halt at the 50 day EMA (46.37). There is more support down at 45, but really want INFY to hold up here and bounce. If it keeps heading lower like this we will have to move out.

ITRI 10/26 ABCD Up 57.61 -2.04 58.11 67.65 1M 900K 56.77
Buy Not Issued. A move lower here to support at the 57.50ish level. Like the move back here and could set up the buy for us. Better entry at this level and now see if it will bounce.

LRCX 10/17 Flag 33.47 -1.18 36.82 42.89 2.9M 4M 35.18
Exited. Just under average trade as LRCX moved lower again to give up the 50 day EMA (33.90). Also a good support level around 34 so had to close it out as it slipped beneath that.

MPET 10/14 ABCD Up 1.44 -0.11 1.52 2.11 429K 387K 1.51
Current. Not the prettiest action as MPET falls below the 1.50 mark with this step lower. Still holding the support at the 1.40 mark though, so will give it a bit more time to see if it can reverse from here.

NVTL 10/07 Test 50 11.97 -0.15 12.30 14.98 1.7M 900K 11.44
Current. Big reach down intraday to tap the 50 day EMA (11.31) and recovery solidly. A short step lower, but holding right at 12 and a good bounce off the low so will see if it can step up a bit from here Thursday.

ORN 10/21 Test BO 20.00 -1.73 22.93 26.95 260K 550K 21.38
Exited. Cut this one off quickly as it tanked below the 50 day EMA (21.46) after holding this level nicely with a doji on Tuesday. At some more support around the 20ish level now, but not looking too hot.

PAET 10/22 Flag 3.30 -0.33 3.77 5.75 891K 1M 3.56
Buy Not Issued. Below support now at the 3.50 mark so dropping it.

PAET 09/17 Asc Tri 3.30 -0.33 3.20 4.21 891K 700K 3.98
Trailing Stop. Not hanging around here as PAET broke below support at the 50 day EMA (3.59) and then the 3.50 mark.

POT 10/26 Flag 93.94 -2.99 98.38 114.88 8M 9M 96.22
Buy Not Hit. No longer setting up a nice flag pattern with this move below the 18 day EMA (96.21). Will need some time to set up a buy again so dropping it until then.

QSII 09/29 Flag 57.66 -2.42 62.14 71.95 328K 400K 61.88
Exited. Gave up the key support at the 60 dollar mark with this move so we were forced to close it out. Down at the 58 mark with more support levels, but not much of a bounce there and could continue lower from here.

QTWW 10/21 ABCD Up 1.23 -0.07 1.19 1.60 4.4M 4M 1.16
Current. Popped lower Wednesday, but did bounce decently off the low so we left it. Now able to make a move past the prior October high (1.36, opening) but bouncing rebounding decently off the 1.20 support. Will see if it can maintain this level and start higher from here.

RDY 10/02 Flag 20.42 -0.34 19.36 22.95 308K 545K 19.93
Current. Short step lower here but on light trade and holding up at the 10 day EMA (20.40). Third day of testing lower, but is doing so very gently so far. Nice range to hold here and will leave it as long as it can hold up in this area as it is doing so far.

RIG 10/13 Flag 83.76 -3.62 90.30 99.94 5.6M 6M 87.77
Exited. Above average volume as RIG drilled lower below this layer of support. Still in the uptrend at this point, but no telling if it will bounce here so best to move out.

RTI 10/21 ABCD Up 20.63 -0.29 22.32 29.95 963K 925K 21.78
Buy Not Issued. Closed just slightly lower, but like the intraday move lower and bounce. Will see if RTI has hit its bottom here and can start back up to keep this play in shape. Next step from here is to start bouncing back over the 22 dollar mark.

RTI 10/14 Pennant 20.63 -0.29 25.36 29.95 963K 875K 23.77
Current.

SLAB 10/10 ABCD Up 41.05 -0.33 46.88 52.95 2.6M 1M 44.28
Current. Held its ground decently but did come back from the intraday high. Trying to bounce some as it sold ahead of the market and now will give it a chance to start back as it looks like it wants to. Would be nice to get back over 42, and from there, a bounce back to the 44 mark.

SOHU 09/21 Test BO 55.81 -1.49 69.31 79.95 1.5M 1.1M 67.31
Current. Not much we can do with this one so we are leaving it as the 200 day SMA (56.17) is holding. That gap lower did not leave us much to work with so at this point might as well see if it can rebound some.

SPN 09/26 ABCD Up 21.72 -1.41 21.98 25.36 1.4M 1M 23.96
Trailing Stop. Closed this one out after this fourth day strongly lower. AT some support now with the 50 day SMA (21.61), but looks to picking up momentum so we will move out and then see where it bounces.

STE 08/29 Asc Tri 30.10 -1.09 28.67 33.91 490K 625K 31.88
Current. Heading lower away from the support at the 31 mark, but we left it as it held 30 at the close. Good support here with the July and September highs in this range as well as the 50 day SMA (30.06). Want it to show us some sign of life from here though to keep us in the play.

SVA 10/12 Test BO 7.70 -0.49 8.01 11.95 2.1M 5M 7.28
Current. Stepped lower here but tapped the 50 day EMA (7.45) at the low and bounced a bit. Letting it play here as it is holding up where it needs to, and will see if it can do something with this bounce on Thursday.

SY 08/26 Test 50 39.80 -0.88 35.15 40.45 1.5M 2M 40.55
Trailing Stop. Moving out of this one as it headed beneath the 18 day EMA (40.46) that held as support Tuesday. Going to take some time off from this one and will see where it can bounce.

THC 08/24 Flag 5.11 -0.35 4.73 5.95 11M 12M 5.68
Exited. Fell beneath the support at the 50 day EMA (5.36) here so it was time to move out. Held here nicely Tuesday with a doji, but could not keep that up Wednesday.

THS 10/14 Pennant 36.70 0.00 35.73 41.45 291K 480K 35.66
Current. Lateral move but did work a bit higher and lower intraday before closing flat. A food stock so doing well with this market Wednesday, and now will see if it can keep bouncing now that it is over the good level at the 36 dollar mark.

TRLG 10/19 Flag 24.91 -1.82 27.47 31.65 506K 700K 26.22
Exited. Tested a little lower Tuesday, but had to nip it in the bud here as it started lower again. Will continue watching it to see where it can bounce and if we are interested in picking it back up.

TRLG 09/05 Asc Tri 24.91 -1.82 22.57 26.94 506K 700K 26.22
Trailing Stop.

TYC 07/10 Test 50 33.61 -0.41 26.75 31.95 5.3M 5.5M 34.11
Current. Not bad. Slightly lower but a doji at support from the 50 day EMA (33.48) and holding up splendidly compared to others. Also at the prior October low (33.32) and will see if TYC can turn up off this doji.

UTSI 10/05 Cup hdl 1.93 -0.17 2.19 3.48 794K 950K 1.87
Buy Not Issued. Have to drop this one as it tanked lower Wednesday out of the nice lateral move under the 2.20 mark. Not setting up how we want it any more.

ZEUS 10/15 Asc Tri 26.50 -1.78 30.78 39.88 269K 250K 28.77
Exited. Not a fall from the heavens, but still a big move down so we closed it out. Below support at 28ish now and will need to see how far it falls before it bounces.

AIPC 09/26 BearFla 27.03 -1.57 27.60 24.04 316K 500K 27.69
Current. Intraday surge but rolled back down to close lower at the solid support from the 27 mark. Has bounced here before, but a weak food stock so we will see if it can give up this key level on Thursday.

AMSC 10/20 HdShldr 28.84 -2.16 31.33 28.06 1.3M 1M 30.88
Current. Gap lower and then sold further from there to fall nicely from the 50 day EMA (31.50). Moving like we want it to here and below key support at 30 with the May/June peaks and August/September/October lows. Looks like it will continue down here, but if it does test up some, 30 is where it should stall.

BHP 10/22 HdShldr 66.69 -3.82 73.82 70.84 8.5M 4.8M 67.44
Current. Knifed lower with volume to take the third step lower as BHP picks up momentum. At some support from the 50 day SMA (66.53) but not bouncing so let it continue lower from here to the next support at 65ish.

CAB 09/23 BearFla 13.20 -0.82 13.21 11.38 1.8M 1M 13.78
Current. Big gap and rollover Tuesday, and now continuing lower Wednesday with a big move on volume back to support at 13. Just stuck there, not really bouncing, and we will see if it can break below that key level with a move lower Thursday.

DIOD 10/05 BearFla 16.61 -1.19 18.32 15.22 437K 400K 17.11
Nice. Bounced down from the 50 day EMA (18.82) Tuesday, and really got going here with this step back. Higher volume on the move down, and now we see if it can continue past the prior October low (16.39).

DIOD 09/18 Put 16.61 -1.19 19.56 17.02 437K 375K 17.11

Heading gently lower early in the week, but now a larger step back Wednesday. At the early October low (41.83) where DST rebounded previously, but looks set to continue lower so we will let it run Thursday to see how it reacts.

FUQI 10/26 Des Tri 19.26 -2.56 24.98 22.09 4.1M 2.3M 20.11
Tanking nicely here for the second big move lower as trade picks up yet again. Tearing along nicely and not showing any signs of slowing at this point, so for now just seeing how far it falls.

GS 10/17 Put 172.16 -6.45 183.63 175.05 14M 15M 173.22
Target Hit. GS tanked here to fall below the 50 day EMA (176.93) after holding it Tuesday. Took some gain, but left some as it can go farther down from here to 170.

IWM 09/30 Rollove 56.83 -1.96 61.48 57.55 85M 48M 57.54
Target Hit. Another one that tanked so we took part of the gain here. Letting the rest run as IWM looks set to continue on to 56 or even the 55 mark. Will see what it can manage Thursday.

MCHP 10/06 HdShldr 24.36 -0.41 25.61 23.48 2.8M 3.5M 24.89
Gave up the 25 support Tuesday, and just picking up steam with this move. Going to let it run a bit more as it is set to do, and then will watch it at the next support from the May peak (23.86).

NTES 10/14 BearFla 36.00 +0.29 39.77 35.04 1.9M 3M 36.88
Has already sold off quite a bit here, and now a side step with this doji at support. Will see what it can manage Thursday, but looks like it will try to bounce here.

RIMM 10/27 Put 60.78 -2.97 63.47 55.45 22M 17M 66.52
Buy Not Issued. Gapped lower and did not chase it, but could have IF you were banking on a break lower that would fill the gap lower from April (59.29 post gap). If it does rebound and stalls out in the gap zone from today then we will look at playing it to the downside.

ROST 10/20 Put 43.79 -1.26 45.58 41.75 2.1M 2M 44.65
Current. Failed at the 50 day EMA (45.82) on Tuesday and still heading lower here. Showing no sign of slowing up so we are letting it run for now. Some support at 42 with the August low (42.14), but looks solid to fall until there.

SHAW 10/24 BearFla 26.49 -1.45 28.40 26.08 1.6M 1.4M 27.08
Current. Loving this move back to follow up on the move lower from Tuesday. Fell through a bit of support at 28 here and now letting it continue to the next level at the 26 mark. Will see if it bounces there or if it can really crack open the downside.

SMTC 10/21 BearFla 15.34 -0.43 16.54 15.18 1.4M 600K 15.66
Current. Trying to hold the 200 day SMA (15.28) with this step lower. If doesn't break below it after this, or if it bounces back, we will take the gain. If it does fall through we will watch it down to the next layer of support at the 15 mark.

STLD 10/17 ABCD Dw 13.64 -0.71 15.16 13.11 9.7M 8.5M 14.88
Target Hit. Took all of the gain on this one as it hit support from the 200 day SMA (13.50) and held.
