Watchers for the 9-12-13 trading session

NHLI

First red day Supernovae. Finished down almost 7% last time, so more down side might be in the cards. If it had fallen much more than 10% then less could be expected as plausible. Always watch day 2 of a busted one. The plan is to play for more reddening on day 2. Conditional entry. A flat, nominally green or red open that immediately sells off on heavy volume or sports traditional confirmed weakness cues is a fade entry. Keep flat on high volume greening or strength, especially early. This is moderately likely given the decent red result of Wednesday. Avoid entries as a short on big gaps up or down, but down is probably worse. Keep flat on consistently strong price action, like trading above the opening price level after the noise candle. Avoid spike up long scalps, too. Selling volume was low, range moderate. At best, mixed tepid short signals.


PGRX

New Supernovae scan return. A 4 day move up which closed below the highs and below the open. Volume varied most days, including Wednesday. Eventually this can be shorted since it is up so absurdly. I suspect like many such plays it can go further than anyone expects, though. Conditional entry. On a higher open, it might yield a rapid green to red on Thursday and spike down for a short scalp. This might even be a gap and crap. A fade on confirmed weakness cues anytime or heavy dumping on volume from or near the bell. Ideal is a flat or barely green or red open, followed by a big move down on volume to short into. Avoid big gaps, especially downward ones. Do not short into initial strength or greening. Box and drop to wait for the distribution print, if desired and avoid top fish timing fades. Keep flat on positive price action, no scalps.


DFZ

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 19.48) and holds. Avoid shorts, keep flat on true weakness. Nice move above 18. Needs to keep above the Wednesday close, or at least above 18 on pull backs to remain viable as a long, aside from any early noise. Early sustained prices over 19 are ideal for aggressive entry.


ADEP

Red floater scan return. Idea is to play for more down side on day 2. Closed down about 0.50% on Wednesday off a gap up that ended below the debut. Stop just above the Wednesday session high (5.98) 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. Low sell volume on Wednesday means it may have decent chances to work. A 6 fail may be ideal. Avoid big gaps/longs. Panic dump?


RAS

B/O scan. I like it long back over 7 and holds. Ideal to stay over that on tests aside from early noise if it triggers. Stops also possible just under the close on Wednesday or the 1st 30 minute low of Thursday. Avoid all shorts and all big gaps. The low on Wednesday is too far away to use for risk managing stops. Also a long on spiking up at or near the gun as a scalp. Big volume on the rise, a poor sign for new buys. Exiting below 6.80 on fails after trigger entry is possibly advisable. Early r/g?



MM

Bullish Engulfing. I like this long over 6.90/holds. Low volume on the rise, which is a fair 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 on Thursday. More conservatively a stop placed under Wednesday's close, too. The low on that day is too far away to use for stops. Ideally stays above 6.70 on pull backs to remain viable as a long if it triggers. No big gaps or shorts.


GTXI

In play both ways. As a long on continuation of momentum above 1.96/holds. Or as a scalp up at or near the gun for a scalp buy. Or, as a short on a fall fail of 1.90 and holds. Or as a scalp sell on a pop down at or near the bell. Avoid all big gaps. Be careful maintaining a short on a reversal back over 1.90. The fade is more likely given the price action on Wednesday, but keep an open mind. Moderate float. Down A/H 1%.
