I’m putting out a caution on Shorts. If you just went short over the last few days’ caution is needed as I think we bounce from here. Now I do also think the bounce will be sold and this may present further opportunities. Having run scan I see more stocks poised to bounce then drop. I’m keying in off S&P and I’m even thinking today was a reversal day.

Originally posted by RunnerHere are a few I’ll be looking at next week and why (short term)
IVAC- stock is currently in first pullback (P/B) after dropping out of base. Stock did trigger on 5/24 and come back in. I think stock may offer 2nd entry below Fridays low. If pop above 5/23 highs I’d continue to stalk to see how it acts at the bottom of the prior base. Were looking for about 2.70 points on the trade.
MBT- has recently been running sideways since april. It tried to pop out of its base but was quickly rejected. Stock gaps lower on 5/15 and few days later falls out of the base. This stock is currently in a first P/B with possible trigger under Fridays lows. We are looking for 2.41 points.
FCS- this stock has a nice trend that has formed off the highs in may. It is currently in P/B mode and we are looking for 1.30 points off Friday’s lows.
NSS- has a nice trend starting to forum and for now this trend is down off the May highs. It also is in a first P/B mode. We are looking for 4.17 points under Friday’s low.
CMC- had a gap against prior trend. I view this as a change in character and is currently in first P/B mode. We are looking for 2.89 points under Friday lows
GLG- is a gold stock and currently had a gap down off new highs. Gold stocks will often gap around and it is currently testing this gap. A break down from Friday’s lows may signal more downside. We are looking for 4.43 points.
Other stocks we will be looking at is PEIX HERO UNT TX OS DRQ SWN SU
Now these set-ups will change if no trigger. I may follow then higher and or cancel if bullish action forms and I think trend is changing. Most of these are first pullbacks and this does not guarantee the stocks will continue to slide. Many have some tough resistance to work through and so we shall see how things transpire. I also do not rule out the possibility of some returning to prior highs. We will just need to see which direction the wind is blowing…..
I should also mention we will scale out ½ position on target and trail with stop based off close in attempt to capture larger gains. Should any of these trigger…….

Here is a list for possible short term trades. Scanning S&P500 stocks with BB5,18. Bands tight normally have a nice pop. I’ve found those in up trends normally pop in direction of trend, same for down trending stocks. I’ll also overlay the 5-15 day simple moving average.
HUM KO AFL BUD AMZN EC RF MS KIM ASN MHP WPI CI ADCT LEH LNC LTR ASH JNS WLP SYK AXP BLS SEE TXU BAC CTB ALL
Back out your charts and look at how tight TRB’s bands were.

My game plan in this current market has been to stay away from the small caps and focus on scalping larger sized stocks. Those little guys can burn you in a heartbeat. Sure you don’t get those huge moves but I feel the risk is not bad for the reward. I will most likely make one more trade this week and cool out until next week. Thus far all scalps have worked to my benefit. I close them out normally by EOD no questions asked..
