XENE
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 9.35) and holds. Avoid shorts, keep flat on true weakness. Nice move above 8.50. Needs to keep above the Wednesday close, or at least above 8.75 on pull backs to remain viable as a long, aside from any early noise. Early sustained prices over 9.35 are ideal for aggressive entry.
AYA
Red floater scan return. Idea is to play for more down side on day 2. Closed up over 2.5% on Wednesday off a gap up open that ended below the debut. Stop just above the Wednesday session high (15.90) 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 sell volume on Wednesday means it may have mediocre chances to work. A 15.75 fail may be ideal. Avoid big gaps/longs. Panic dump?
EPE
B/O scan. I like it long back over 4.44 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. Medium volume on the rise, a tepid sign for new buys. Exiting below 4.20 on fails after trigger entry is possibly advisable. Early r/g buy?
SDRL
Bullish Engulfing. I like this long over 1.43/holds. Modest volume on the rise, which is a decent 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 arguably not too far away to use for stops. Ideally stays above 1.38 on pull backs to remain viable as a long if it triggers. No big gaps or shorts.
VNCE
In play both ways. As a long on continuation of momentum above 2.10/holds. Or as a scalp up at or near the gun for a scalp buy. Or, as a short on a fall fail of 2/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 2.10. The fade is more likely given the price action on Wednesday, but keep an open mind.
THC
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 open alternatively instead. Trigger is above the high of last time, here above 16.42/holds. Avoid all big gaps, especially down ones. If it gaps over the trigger or 16.36 let it test/hold/perk 1st before entering. No shorts, keep flat on redness. Modest buy volume, which may mean overt buy interest is still arriving, suggesting reversal upwards is not yet on tap.
BOLD
Parabolic Sar scan. I like it long over 15.63 and holds. Small volume on the rise Wednesday, a good sign for new longs. Place a stop under the close Wednesday or the 1st 30 minute low Thursday. Keep flat on all big gaps and avoid shorts. Long too on spiking up at or near the gun as a scalp. If it gaps over the trigger a bit, wait for a test/hold/perk to enter.
