Before I post the charts, please make yourself aware of my (and many others) earnings strategy. I am not Jim Cramer. I DO NOT buy these stocks before they report. I wait for the report to come, look at the numbers and the growth, and then look at the after-hours...

mac_rmm@chartswingtrader.com (ChartSwingTrader) — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 15:05:00 +0000

Hi traders - here's your outlook for next week. We finally saw some decent selling on Friday, with the Nasdaq down twenty-three points and the S&P down nine. I don't want to say that the selling wasn't a big deal, but...well...as of now, it was no big deal. Volume was...

mac_rmm@chartswingtrader.com (ChartSwingTrader) — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 23:21:00 +0000

The beat goes on for Wall Street, as today was another bullish session with stocks moving nicely across the board. It's been a long time since I have seen a market as smooth as this and with so many nice setups breaking out but also acting well after the breakout. This is one of...

Nice Consolidation - Now Almost Too Many Setups to Choose From

mac_rmm@chartswingtrader.com (ChartSwingTrader) — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 22:50:00 +0000

I entered the week wanting to see some calm action on the indices to allow the market to rest and work off some stretched conditions and really, that's exactly what we've seen so far. It would not be a bad thing for this consolidation to continue for a few more days, but I don't know if it...

mac_rmm@chartswingtrader.com (ChartSwingTrader) — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 14:53:00 +0000

Hi traders - here are the setups I will be watching early next week along with a look at the overall market. First the market. After the big run we have had (including Friday's big move), I am very hesitant to get aggressively long here. I was long the entire run so far except...

Here are the charts I posted throughout this past week. I am going to try and do this (good and bad) each weekend as my time allows. These percentages are calculated only based on last Friday's close versus this Friday's close. Big winners were VNET, VELT, and...

Some Thoughts and Charts For Friday - Getting a Little Frothy

mac_rmm@chartswingtrader.com (ChartSwingTrader) — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 23:12:00 +0000

Another pretty good day today on Wall Street but as I stated on Twitter several times today, this market is reaching extremes that make me a little cautious here. I am not bearish or anything but we are at levels breadth-wise where the market can throw a very quick shakeout at us. There...

Trade Was "Different" Today - Setups Included for Wednesday

mac_rmm@chartswingtrader.com (ChartSwingTrader) — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 23:33:00 +0000

Kind of a different day today on Wall Street - for the first time in a while, we saw a nice open that was met with selling and it seemed to me (from what I could tell checking in at lunchtime) that there was some distribution going on today. I know we had some selling off the highs last...

Down Day, But Stay Bullish Until Support Levels Are Broken

mac_rmm@chartswingtrader.com (ChartSwingTrader) — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 01:34:00 +0000

We did see some selling today on Wall Street along with some heavier volume, but considering the move up we've had, I don't think that's that big of a deal. Support via the nine day EMAs still did hold today and although I wouldn't mind the market putting in a very quiet session...

Preparing for What Should Be One Crazy Day

mac_rmm@chartswingtrader.com (ChartSwingTrader) — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 01:25:00 +0000

Tonight I'm sharing some potential long setups for tomorrow as this market continues to act very bullish. Today's dip was bought and every time my numbers get to levels that indicate a shakeout/pullback is close by, we have a slower day that allows those number to drift back to...

Hi traders - here's an overall look at the markets to get you ready for a very busy week ahead. We saw a little intraday selling on Friday but stocks finished strong and a boring, slow day is a good, good thing sometimes on Wall Street (like when you've been up nine out of the last ten...

Another very good day today on Wall Street - the markets shook off the late selloff yesterday and individual stocks acted super. I was slightly short going into the session but thanks to stops I was out of TVIX and TZA quickly and entered various long positions throughout the rest of...

Here's the video I mentioned earlier traders. I posted some charts earlier specifically for Tuesday, but the charts in this video are setups that need another day or so before I would consider them. They are however very much worth keeping on your watchlists. I also discuss the...

Slow and Steady So Far for Mr. Market - Setups for Friday

mac_rmm@chartswingtrader.com (ChartSwingTrader) — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 02:29:00 +0000

We saw another up session today, one in which individual stocks for the most part continued to act quite well. We've now been up six straight sessions on the Nasdaq and seven out of eight for the S&P, but what has been unique is that all six of those positive sessions on the Nasdaq...

Stock Market Review and Stock Setups for Thursday

mac_rmm@chartswingtrader.com (ChartSwingTrader) — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 00:10:00 +0000

Hi, traders. Here are some more setups for tomorrow. The ones I posted yesterday were good and bad. The two bigger caps (MELI and SOHU) acted like crap intraday and I got burned slightly on both, but CROX was super after trading around $16.80 yesterday after the close. ...

mac_rmm@chartswingtrader.com (ChartSwingTrader) — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 23:42:00 +0000

Hi, traders - market didn't do much of anything today except mess around and go basically nowhere. The flag that is continuing to form on the S&P looks very nice and hopefully will lead to an overall market breakout and rally here, but the bulls just don't seem to have the "oomph"...

Hi, traders - here's a shorter video to get you ready for the week ahead. The first week of 2012 was unfortunately not that much different from 2011 from where I sit. After gapping up Tuesday, the market basically went nowhere and we still haven't seen the type of trading...

Good evening traders. We have a big jobs number tomorrow morning, but today was a pretty bullish one based on my scans of individual stocks, as I saw a good number of heavier volume breakouts and still am seeing a lot of potentially attractive long setups heading into Friday. I made a...

mac_rmm@chartswingtrader.com (ChartSwingTrader) — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 23:02:00 +0000

Happy New Year! It was quite the year in the stock market. Yes, the market went nowhere overall as I'm sure you've read in many newspapers and heard about on many TV shows. It was a year when trends disappeared (if you consider a trend something longer than a week or...

Lots of Potentially Nice Charts, But Most are Thin

mac_rmm@chartswingtrader.com (ChartSwingTrader) — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 23:49:00 +0000

Hi traders - today was a choppy, low-volume day and I expect the rest of the week to be similar (choppy but with a positive bias). There were a couple of quick spike-downs intraday that stopped me out of some positions and I think I have to adjust for this thin environment over the next...
