Swing Trading Signals and Setups FCX, INTC, XOM

Free swing trade set-ups for the week. For more information, see the rubber band swing trading strategy.

Copper often follows the broad stock market. If FCX can break out from here along with stocks in general, it should really move nicely northward for us in this rubber band swing trade.

The chart shows a nice short sale a few months ago under this strategy.

INTC looks as if it might have found a top in the medium term.

If the stock market and/or INTC tanks, we can jump aboard and try to make a few bucks.

Rubber Band Swing Trade Short Set-ups on the 60-Minute chart

The stock market is overbought and short entries are loaded up. All we need is for things to break so we can maybe make some money swing trading short. In the 60-minute term, I am looking to apply the >>Rubber Band Swing Trading Strategy<< to JPM, MMM, and MON. JPM might be a great way to play a strong pullback in the bank sector. MMM is a DOW 30 behemoth that is showing weakness already ahead of the broader market. The 60-min chart of MON shows a particularly weak pattern.

Rubber Band Swing Trade Short Set-ups on the Daily Chart

For a short sale position trade I like the Rubber Band Swing Trade Strategy as applied to the daily charts of WM and AXP. The daily chart of WM looks especially weak. AXP behaves well for swing traders once it gets moving and offers smaller whipsaws that other stocks in its sector.

Swing Trading | AAPL, JPM, DIS, CSCO

There are two new rubber band swing trade signals along with two old ones that are still valid. Please learn the risks of stock trading prior to investing and do your own research. Swing trading signals are for entertainment purposes only. The authors of this site may be trading these trades and may be long or short these stocks at any time.

AAPL | 60-Minute Chart Long

swing trading AAPLWhen will AAPL pop again? Who knows, but when it does launch use the 60-minute chart along with the >>> rubber band swing trading strategy <<<< (opens in a new window) as it might be a great way to profit from the move. As always with shorter-term charts and trades, do not get caught in morning gap situations – simply pass on the trade if entry does not come at the desired location.

JPM | Weekly Chart Long

This swing trading signal is still valid, we think. Any of the big bank/financial stocks will do, GS, etc. At some point the banks could recover in this time frame and this is the way to be there if it happens. See the previous swing trade signal post.

DIS | Weekly Long

The same goes for DIS, which seems to follow the broad stock market fairly close. Take advantage of this swing opportunity through DIS. See the previous swing trading post -we think the trade is still quite valid.

CSCO swing trading longCSCO | Monthly Chart “Right Now”

This could have been spotted earlier, as price is sitting right on its entry. The rubber band swing trading strategy could end up capturing a large chunk of what might be a major rally in CSCO. The swing trading signal calls for going long right here at its current price. Don’t chase.

Long-Term Swing Trades – EUO, NXG

Posted on by

Stock Market Update

Very short-term traders should align their trades to the short side and seek out short sale set-ups. Intermediate-term traders should hang back a bit as the market is still trading in a range. Long-term traders/investors should be wary of stocks, which are in a major down trend.

Swing Trading – EUOEUO swing trade stock market update

Has anyone else been waiting to see the Euro lose value from all of these crisis events? I have, but the Euro has been moving sideways. Well not anymore. Price has ejected out of it’s base and has begun what might be a powerful trend. The EUO is the ultra-short Euro. (Go long EUO to be short the Euro, it’s an ETF that moves opposite to the direction of the Euro).

Swing Trading – NXGNXG swing trade gold update

Another long-term “position” swing trade I like is NXG. It’s small cap gold mining stock that has ejected out of it’s base on strong volume. It’s a classic “CANSLIM cup-with handle” or “3rd watch” pattern. Whatever you call it, this could be a home-run trade.

Stock Market Update – Where is the Market Going?

Posted on by

After the heavy selling that we saw from European Debt Crisis News along with the infamous US S&P downgrade, stocks have really not been going anywhere.

It seems like the stock market is moving quite a bit, as we keep seeing one-day moves of 2, 3, and even 4%, but price all the while has remained in the range as formed by the three heaviest days of selling last month.

Very short term traders can see that the most recent whipsaw shows a bullish trend right now. Align your short term day and swing trades to the long side.

Longer-term swing trading (also sometimes called position trading) is difficult in these environments because the market is not trending in this time frame. If someone held a gun to my head and told me to take a 4-week position in stocks, however, I would have to refer to the next time frame higher take a short trade. The long-term trend is certainly still down.

Stock Market Update | Short-Term Trend Change?

Posted on by

It appears as though the stock market’s short-term (and maybe even intermediate-term) up-trend is rolling over. Swing traders should trail stops aggressively for well-performing long trades and consider closing the weaker stragglers. It may be time to seek out short trade set-ups.

Of course, use common sense. If the stock market rallies tomorrow on the non-farm payroll report then continue with your long trades and long swing trade set-ups.

The 60-min chart shows price rolling over – or offering a very good place to stay long if the stock market reacts well to Firday Moring’s Coming News.

The daily chart shows another potential rollover.

Stock Market Update – Swing and Day Traders Should Be Long

Posted on by

If you are trading the stock market for the short-term, increase trading success by trading with the trend. Clearly stocks have been moving up and your day and swing trading should be aligned with this. Be nimble and defensive, however, as we are in a long-term market condition in where strong and deep selling can erupt with little warning.
