Current. Excellent volume as AAPL breaks higher ahead of its Wednesday earnings.

ACOR 04/17 Cup hdl 23.92 +0.22 24.32 30.65 342K 600K 22.62
Buy Not Issued. Volume moved up to average as ACOR started the break higher but could not hold it.

ADM 04/06 Test 20 38.96 +0.41 37.68 44.89 7M 12M 37.78
Current. After that pullback last week ADM is running higher once more, continuing the strong Friday move. One of those leaders that paused and is now moving back up.

AKAM 04/16 Dbl btm 54.72 +1.82 54.39 62.50 3.1M 6M 52.68
Buy Not Issued. Good price break though volume lagged. If it can continue, looking at a partial position ahead of earnings that are out on Wednesday.

ALJ 04/04 DB hdl 37.99 +1.05 38.60 45.78 400K 510K 37.94
Current. Nice bounce off the 18 day EMA test from last week as this oil refining stocks rebounds after a full test of the last breakout.

BABY 04/21 Test BO 18.02 -0.08 18.32 21.95 94K 200K 17.12
Buy Not Hit. Baby step and baby volume. Faded after that not so baby jump Friday. Still looks solid.

BRCD 04/16 Test 18 10.12 +0.09 10.38 12.45 7.8M 20M 9.84
Buy Not Hit. Holding at the 18 day EMA as it continues its three week lateral move. Brocade doesn't look broken here, but we are getting a bit weary of the wait. That typically means something is about to happen.

BTU 04/11 DB hdl 49.10 +2.55 46.32 53.32 11M 7M 46.54
Current. Upgraded and BTU was burning higher on strong volume. Never gave back much of the move. Excellent action.

CAT 04/18 DB hdl 71.85 +0.03 69.72 79.95 11M 7.5M 67.22
Buy Not Issued. Held most of the gain again. Will drop for now and see how it tests and gives us another entry point.

CELG 04/12 Cup hdl 61.92 +1.65 58.98 67.95 6M 5M 59.48
Current. Gapped higher and hit 63.18 on the high. Thought about taking some option gain and then it slipped. Still excellent upside volume and relative strength is breaking out so we like the continuing upside potential.

CMC 03/19 Asc Bse 34.51 +0.14 29.54 34.95 1.3M 1.8M 33.31
Current. Modest gain as CMC gapped higher once more, continuing its trend up the 10 day EMA.

COGO 04/19 Cup hdl 18.29 -0.90 19.38 23.38 939K 700K 18.22
Buy Not Hit. Turned back down on strong volume. Dropping for now.

CROX 04/06 Cup 53.86 +0.18 52.71 59.95 1.8M 2M 52.21
Trailing Stop. This one hit a trailing stop Friday intraday and was erroneously reported as continuing. If you are still in, it is still in good shape. We are looking to move back in as it resumes the break higher.

CXW 03/27 DB hdl 55.25 +0.57 53.44 60.48 641K 450K 53.98
Current. Excellent break higher on the strongest volume in over a month as CXW posts a 7 year high. Jail break in progress.

DRIV 04/14 Asc Bse 56.93 +1.16 57.04 67.95 601K 1.6M 55.58
Current. Nice price break off the 50 day EMA but on continued low volume. Nice if it can get some volume.

EDU 04/10 Asc Bse 46.91 +0.66 45.32 53.68 430K 600K 44.69
Current. Gapped higher on stronger, above average volume though it did give back $1.50 of the move. Volatile but trending higher and thus letting it work for us.

FALC 04/03 Cup hdl 11.46 -0.06 11.38 13.74 298K 690K 11.35
Current. Still a very tight range and very low volume as FALC tests the 10 day EMA after that strong move two weeks back.

FCX 03/24 Cup hdl 70.36 +0.35 63.51 72.95 9M 14M 69.32
Current. Held steady Monday on continued low volume as FCX continues to shake off the Thursday gap lower and then the Friday gap back up.

GLD 04/04 DB hdl 68.26 -0.44 67.81 76.78 2.5M 6M 67.52
Current. Modest fade as volume dropped. Still working higher up the 10 day EMA.

HITT 04/18 DB hdl 44.79 -0.38 45.05 53.95 181K 450K 42.68
Buy Not Issued. Low volume persists as HITT holds steady, still trying to put together the breakout.

HOC 03/13 Asc Bse 62.84 +0.54 57.73 64.95 599K 750K 61.11
Current. Continuing higher off the 18 day EMA on rising but still below average volume. Just letting it move up for us.

ICE 04/14 CCall 132.35 -1.48 134.31 150.95 2.7M 5M 129.97
Current. Faded on lower volume after that strong upside break on Friday.

IIG 04/21 Cup hdl 26.00 +1.00 25.45 30.45 788K 6.5M 23.95
Buy Not Issued. Strong volume as IIG continues a break higher. Still a buy on this move.

ITRI 03/27 DB hdl 70.76 -0.07 67.95 77.45 294K 709K 69.31
Current. Still a steady rise up the 10 day EMA though it took Monday off on low volume.

IVN 03/13 Test BO 12.60 -0.01 12.22 14.95 553K 1.2M 12.29
Current. Doji at the 10 day EMA as IVN continues laterally on low volume, still trying to make a breakaway move. Needs to show us something.

JCOM 04/10 DB hdl 29.46 -0.38 28.88 34.95 343K 1M 28.88
Fading back after that Friday rebound. JCOM is trying to make the breakaway, and after this test we will see if it can generate some upside volume.

KYPH 04/17 Test BO 49.74 -0.22 49.95 57.95 696K 900K 47.77
Buy Not Issued. Tried the move with some better, average volume, but it gave it all back and a bit more. Still in position to move so we will be patient.

LTBG 04/19 Test 50 17.12 +0.04 17.41 20.48 174K 375K 16.44
Buy Not Issued. Tried to make the move but the great volume from last week was just a memory. Still a nice set up.

MA 03/22 Cup 110.04 -0.06 110.78 121.00 1.3M 4.5M 106.74
Buy Not Issued. Talk about having to be patient. MA continues to look solid with its tight lateral move over the 10 day EMA. Wake me when it breaks higher and charges ahead, mastering the pattern.

MCHP 04/19 PreAnn 37.57 +0.12 37.95 43.75 1.6M 3.1M 36.45
Buy Not Hit. Tapped the 10 day EMA on the low and rebounded positive. Still solid pattern and we will see if MCHP can make the break on the TXN news.

MON 03/26 DB hdl 59.00 -0.22 58.14 65.45 1.8M 4M 57.48
Current. Doji on lower trade. MON is having a hard time germinating the next break higher. It is still working up the 10 day EMA, but want to see the next breakaway move really stick and breed one of those MON runs.

MS 03/24 DB hdl 83.56 +0.65 81.73 94.95 4.6M 8.9M 81.22
Current. Nice intraday surge but could only hold a third of the move as volume was so low. Still trending higher but it hit the January and February highs and faded back. Will need more trade to get through.

NTGR 04/09 Dbl btm 29.66 -0.40 30.68 36.75 562K 1M 29.41
Current. Holding over the 18 day EMA on rising though below average volume. Faded back last week from a strong move higher. Holding up fine and giving it the benefit of the doubt as it forms this new handle.

NTY 04/06 Cup hdl 51.18 -0.40 54.11 64.95 643K 1.9M 51.44
Buy Not Hit. Doji over the 50 day EMA. Waiting, waiting, waiting.

NUAN 03/17 Dbl btm 16.36 -0.08 15.54 19.85 1.8M 5.5M 15.94
Current. Working laterally on continued low volume, showing another tight doji on the 10 day EMA. Nice solid test; now we want a nice, solid breakaway move.

NUE 03/26 Rev HS 68.54 +0.85 67.96 76.75 2.8M 5.7M 66.31
Current. Moving higher again though volume backed off from the late last week move. Just letting it move up.

NUVA 04/12 DB hdl 25.13 -0.52 25.33 28.95 129K 364K 24.69
Current. Sold back on very low trade but still in the trend higher.

OIH 04/21 Test BO 151.90 +0.36 153.42 162.95 11M 12M 149.69
Entered today. Good volume as it surged early, but it could not hold the move to the close and finished flat. Okay. We will look at more positions as it rebounds from here.

OMCL 04/18 Rev HS 21.73 -0.31 21.95 26.38 533K 471K 20.95
Current. Gapped higher and looked solid but then turned over to close slightly lower. Not the response we wanted to the Friday move but still holding a good chunk of that gain.

PKI 04/14 Cup hdl 24.83 -0.10 25.35 30.45 604K 1M 24.18
Buy Not Issued. Quieted down Monday, but got too wild for us. Will watch but dropping for now.

PRFT 03/11 Test 50 21.95 -0.15 21.39 24.97 357K 600K 22.05
Current. Holding the 18 day EMA as it slid a bit lower. Holding a key level and now it needs to show a strong break higher to take out that twin peak at 23.

PTNR 04/18 Test BO 16.03 +0.25 16.42 19.75 460K 606K 15.57
Buy Not Hit. Excellent volume as PTNR bounced off the 18 day EMA. Getting closer to new the breakout and looking quite nice.

RIO 03/06 Test 50 41.99 +0.23 35.17 39.95 7.3M 10M 39.98
Current. Doji at the prior high at 41. Needs to break on through this level.

ROCM 03/17 Test BO 26.30 +0.72 19.54 23.45 961K 425K 24.55
Current. Another nice break higher on strong volume once more as ROCM continues moving up the 10 day EMA. Only issue is that is gave back over half the move. Nonetheless, letting it continue higher for us.

ROLL 03/31 Dbl btm 36.35 -0.65 35.11 40.88 152K 185K 35.95
Gapped higher but then closed lower. Struggling the past week, so this is an important test.

ROST 04/16 Cup hdl 34.49 -0.16 34.95 40.45 782K 1.6M 33.24
Buy Not Issued. Going to sleep on this one as it cannot make the break.

RS 03/20 Cup hdl 61.52 +2.49 47.78 54.78 3.8M 1M 59.38
Current. Stupendous move as RS puts together a third straight surge on tremendous volume. After a long, steady move this stock is hurtling higher. This smacks of a blow off move so if we see a gap higher and reversal on strong volume we want to bank some reliable gain.

SPWR 04/04 DB hdl 56.80 +1.34 49.69 56.65 1.8M 1M 54.94
Current. Gapped higher once more on strong volume. Just letting it continue higher for us.

SUN 04/20 Test 18 73.09 +0.70 73.11 84.95 2.5M 4.9M 71.15
Buy Not Issued. Gapped higher but volume was lower and the move lacked any punch, settling back to the 10 day EMA on the close.

TESO 03/01 Cup hdl 30.76 +0.60 22.43 26.48 221K 165K 29.05
Current. Still rallying higher as TESO gains strength on this move. Strong trend higher and letting it run.

TRW 03/01 Test BO 36.84 +0.07 30.55 35.95 331K 530K 35.55
Current. Could not hold the day's move but it is still working up the 10 day EMA, so we are going to let it continue to work for us.

VCLK 04/19 Test BO 29.71 +0.11 29.88 35.45 870K 2.6M 28.95
Buy Not Issued. No volume as VCLK drifted higher. Still a strong pattern and just need another show of volume as it breaks higher.

VLCM 04/12 Cup hdl 38.05 +0.44 37.72 43.45 189K 400K 36.08
Buy Not Issued. Broke higher over the three week lateral range but it could not attract any volume. Still need to see more volume to show there is sufficient interest to keep it moving higher.

VMSI 04/20 DB hdl 47.86 +1.06 47.79 55.65 536K 570K 45.21
Entered today. Continued the break higher on strong volume along with a relative strength breakout. Very nice and would like it to put together another 2 upside sessions before it tests.

VTIV 03/28 DB hdl 38.51 +0.18 38.95 44.65 84K 458K 38.55
Current. Working laterally continues at near support on mostly lower volume. Trying to hold up at near support and put in a new all time high.

WFR 04/03 Test 18 64.47 +2.25 61.72 69.95 5.5M 6M 61.74
Current. Excellent above average volume as WFR breaks to a new all-time high. Hard to complain about that move.

WFR 03/06 Test 50 64.47 +2.25 54.48 61.95 5.5M 5.4M 61.74
Current.

Current. Doji at the 50 day EMA, fading back some. This is where it needs to break lower as it did in late May.
