Stalking NGA Day Three

Day three of the NGA pullback. Price move closer to the breakout point made last April 24. The ideal situation would be to see the NGA print a hammer candle or a narrow bar on low volume. I will continue to monitor and see how it goes. Below is today's chart.

Sold LVS

As widely expected the market opens in the positive territory giving me the opportunity to close my swing trade on LVS. I've sold 300 shares at $8.37 for a net gain of $355.00

LVS and YZC Trade Updates

Still holding my swing position on these two stocks. I'm about break even on YZC and has paper gains on LVS. Planning to exit them as soon as I spot a good selling opportunity.

Today's overall market action is leaning towards a higher opening tomorrow unless there is a major bad news.

Stalking NGA Day Two

Day two of NGA pullback if this action continues tomorrow which is very likely price will be testing the support around the 4.25-4.50 area. I'd like to see the stock to bounce from that area thereby respecting support. Let's see what Thursday brings.

Change, Hope, Believe...

NGA Due for Pullback

One stock from the LP Momo watchlist, NGA has been a day traders stock from a low of $4.80 towards $5.77 in quite a short time of course no need to grab the entire day's range just a portion of it would be good enough.

I was watching it early morning trying to enter but can't seem to find my spot. Well, the good thing is I learn a lot just by watching it. The stock ends in positive territory but the bulls are bit tired. Entering here would be highly risky, see A and B these indicators are way overbought. I'm waiting for the price to test support around the $4.50 area.

Swing Trading LVS

I'm staying home today ;-0 and have been reviewing my watchlist from last night. One stock has caught my attention, the Las Vegas Sands Corp. (LVS). This stock have been showing accumulation since early this month. Interesting to note that LVS have more than doubled in price from a mere $3.00 late March.

Yesterday the stock broke out above $6.00 on volume of more than 89 million shares. I'm not sure what's going on internally, just looking at price and volume action as usual. Purely technical analysis in nature. Tho, I'm concerned about the RSI (shown in the chart) but nonetheless price action is king and position management is second.

I've entered at $7.14 and bought 300 shares and paid $7.00 for commission. My target is around the $8.00 area. Below is the LVS chart.
