Watchers for the 1-7-16 trading session

LEI

First red day Supernovae. Finished red over 23% last time, so more down side might not be in the cards. If it had fallen much less than 10% then more 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 likely given the huge 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 greater. Mixed short signals at best on those counts, but watch it.



GSI

Another initial red session Supernovae. See my comments above, similar for this one. Ended red by nearly 32% today.


SSN

New Supernovae scan return. A 1 day move up which closed under the highs and above the open. Volume at highs 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.



EARS

In play both ways. As a long on continuation of momentum above 7.96/holds. Or as a scalp up at or near the gun for a scalp buy. Or, as a short on a fall fail of 7.50/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 7.79. The fade is more likely given the price action on Wednesday, but keep an open mind.



CBNJ

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 14.15) and holds. Avoid shorts, keep flat on true weakness. Nice move above 13.50. Needs to keep above the Wednesday close, or at least above 13.75 on pull backs to remain viable as a long, aside from any early noise. Early sustained prices over 14.06 are ideal for aggressive entry.



HLTH

B/O scan. I like it long back over 3.25 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. Low volume on the rise, a good sign for new buys. Exiting below 3.10 on fails after trigger entry is possibly advisable. Early r/g buy?



EDE

Bullish Engulfing. I like this long over 28.42/holds. Low volume on the rise, which is a good 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 not too far away to use for stops. Ideally stays above 268on pull backs to remain viable as a long if it triggers. No big gaps or shorts.
