Watchers for the 6-25-13 trading session

ITKG

New 52's. Short term, these yearly high stocks often go higher. Consistently strong price action, like trading above the opening price level after the first 5 minutes, is a long. Or, if it gaps down a bit to debut or opens flat and falls briefly, a red to green and hold with strong volume. Also long on spiking up at or near the gun as a scalp. This might be an EOD exit, depending on how it holds up. Also long on a break above to new yearly highs (over 0.75) and holds. Avoid shorts, keep flat on true weakness. Nice move above 0.70. Needs to keep above the Monday close, or at least above 0.70 on pull backs to remain viable as a long, aside from any early noise.


FXCM

Red floater scan return. Idea is to play for more, real down side on day 2. Closed up almost 1% on Monday off a gap down open that ended below the debut. Stop just above the Monday session high (16.18) to cap losses on head fake fade entries. I'm only into the shorting possibility if it surfaces, keeping flat on strength. Also a short on heavy volume dumps/confirmed weakness cues. Moderate buy volume on Monday means it might have unclear chances to work. A 16 fail may be ideal. Avoid big gaps/longs. Panic dump?


GNK

B/O scan. I like it long back over 1.78 and holds. Ideal to stay over that on tests aside from early noise if it triggers. Stops also possible just under the close on Monday or the 1st 30 minute low of Tuesday. Avoid all shorts and all big gaps. The low on Monday is arguably not too far away to use for risk managing stops. Also a long on spiking up at or near the gun as a scalp. Modest volume on the rise, a decent sign for new buys. No A/H quote. Exiting below 1.63 on fails after trigger entry is possibly advisable. Early r/g?


GSM

Bullish Engulfing. I like this long over 11.18/holds. Moderate volume on the rise, which is a neutral sign for new buyers. Keep flat on real weakness aside from a typical red to green move, etc. Stops just under the low last time or the initial 30 minute one Tuesday. More conservatively a stop placed under Monday's close, too. The low on that day is arguably not too far away to use for stops. Ideally stays above 10.79 on pull backs to remain viable as a long if it triggers. No big gaps or shorts. No A/H quote.


LCC

Hammer scan long. The tail is not too long to use the low as a stop level unless the position is very large. Use the previous session close alternatively instead. Trigger is above the high of last time, here above 16.14/holds. Avoid all big gaps, especially up ones. If it gaps over the trigger or 16 let it test/hold/perk 1st before entering. No shorts, keep flat on redness. Modest sell volume, which could mean overt sell interest has not fully waned, suggesting reversal may not be yet at hand. Up A/H a tad.


MLNK

3 White soldiers. Long above 3.33/holds. Or on spike ups at or near the bell as a scalp. Short on a fall back under 3.25/holds. Or on spike downs as a scalp fade. Be careful on a reversal back over that if shorting. No A/H quote. Avoid all big gaps.


AMRN

Bottom fishing. Looking for a reversal back over 6/holds to buy. 10 sessions in a row of decreasing closes. Don't buy without the trigger confirmation. No shorts, keep out on weakness. Up A/H +1%. No big gaps.
