Weekly  Stock Market and Trading Strategies Report Week of October 21st

Results and Notes:  Booking gains during the week!

We closed out DOCU for small gains before it dropped harder on Friday, also booked 7-12% gains in INMD earlier in the week as it spiked higher. We also booked 10-17% gains in OPRT.  Late in the week looks to me like some portfolio managers are doing some tax related selling in some winning names ahead of end of Fiscal Year (October 31).  Only 2 open positions coming into Monday trading as we look for more opportunities.

Short Term and Long Term Elliott Wave Views for the SP 500 Index

Short Term: Short term potential for a bit more pullback towards end of October (Fiscal year end for Mutual Funds) and then a surge in a 5th wave of this current pattern off the recent lows. See the chart.

Long Term:   (Wave  3 of Intermediate 3 of Major 3).  The long term Primary Wave 5 up from Feb 2016 lows continues, we are in Major Wave 3 up from the 2345 lows of Major 2 in Dec 2018.  Consolidation continues, a series of 1’s and 2’s and now a possible Bullish Triangle forming. See chart.

Long Term View:  Int 3 of Major 3 underway to over 3000 made up of 5 waves

Recently decline pretty steep from 3022 area, if that was a Wave 2 of 5… then we are in early stages of 3 up here of Int 3 of Major 3.  Weekly chart still appears bullish and forming a possible triangle as well as a series of 1’s and 2’s.

Short Term View: Wave 4 correction (Minor) then likely surge to all time highs?

Market Notes and Indicator Charts:

• IWM ETF Chart still showing potential breakout ahead of ABC-x-ABC pattern
• GOLD Chart also in 8 week corrective pattern, if it holds 1450 it can surge again
• Fear and Greed index is at neutral 50 reading (100 super high greed, 0 extreme of fear)
• If we are supposedly at risk of recession, why are home builder and construction stocks on fire?

IWM Chart: Wave 7 of a sideways base completed this past week, could be 9 or 11 waves before done, but typically 7 waves once completed does give an index or sector a change to then break to the upside. Updated chart

GOLD Chart:  Possible 8 week correction ending with a surge higher possible if 1450 area holds.

Weekly ideas and tips on Swing Trading Success:  Selling 1/2 on the way up

Always sell 1/2 of a swing trade position when you are up 8% or more.  That is our rule at SRP, and some traders have similar rules or percentages they use. This  rule has saved us multiple times from stocks that later turn south and had you not forced yourself to take some off the table, you may have  given up all gains or ended up with tiny gains.  The best time to take profits is when you are feeling giddy, and using the 8% sell rule forces the issue so you are not a danger to yourself with your emotions. Make sure to  follow this rule on all SRP swing trades with or without an actual alert being sent.

Swing Trade Candidates: 

Each week we try to provide 5-15 Swing Trade ideas to consider as part of our SRP service. We often pick a few from the list during the week as actual alerts and or names from our other research that are not on this list. Some weeks we pick none from the list, but gives us some stock to watch as action unfolds.
