Watch-list for week of 3/13/17


The timing of a pullback, paired with a 20 SMA bounce and jobs report was perfectly orchestrated.  We'll see if we get any follow action starting on Monday.  I noticed many individual stocks seemed to be acting weak in comparison to the overall market.  IWM continues to lag which could be an indicator of things to come.  I have many more break down watches than the SPY would suggest.

Like all my lessons before, this stock showed momentum, and built on top of levels.  each pullback gave a defined place to risk against.

Here are my entries.  Each line represents where my risk was to


Hope to have a video to follow about this trade.
