How to get my Trade Signals

Many Bloggers post their trades after the fact, but Collective2.com allow individuals (and bloggers) to generate their trades in real-time. This is an additional performance measure over and above the entry-stop-target monitoring and is a more manageable system for those not looking to get a stream of stocks on a daily basis, but want a more personally managed system. Collective2.com is a third party system and I have no affiliation with them other than they host my sample portfolio.

My Collective2 portfolio features stocks from the Trade Ideas scan and my newsletter, but never holds more than 8 stocks at any one time. In addition, individual stocks never have more than $15K allocated to the position irrespective of the total value of the portfolio, or the number of stocks held.

I base equity exposure on a $100K account which can be easily scaled to any account size (e.g. buying 800 shares for a $100K account would translate as 80 shares for a $10K account, or 1,600 shares for a $200K account). The recommended equity:cash exposure is based on the suggested money management strategy in my newsletter.

Signals are usually sent out end-of-day, although the system can be Autotraded using TradeStation

S&P "Bull Trap"?

Image
I thought there was sufficient evidence to argue against a "bull trap" in the S&P, but it would appear the market wasn't interested in such thoughts and sellers were quick to reverse the initial push above 4,200.  Adding to the pain were new 'sell' triggers in MACD and On-Balance-Volume, although the former occurred above the 'bullish' zero line, making it a weak signal. Selling volume ranked as distribution as selling momentum picked up speed.  The index is also underperforming relative to the Russell 2000.

"Black Candlesticks" are a concern for the S&P and Nasdaq

Image
A bright start for bulls on the back of positive $NVDA earnings wasn't enough to generate a day of meaningful gains.  However, it did help stall the losses of the last couple of days. The Nasdaq was the biggest beneficiary of today's action, but not enough to see an end-of-day finish that cleared last week's swing high, nor delivery of a large white candlestick, despite the morning breakout gap.  Technicals are net bullish and relative performance against the S&P has become consistently stronger since the start of May.  While today's candlestick I would view as typically 'bearish', today's volume ranked as confirmed accumulation (bullish). Overall, I would be looking for higher prices from here.

Round 2 for the bearish "black" candlestick in S&P and Nasdaq

Image
The Nasdaq started brightly but ended up closing below its open price, but above yesterday's close. The S&P did something similar, although the intraday range is narrower. These two setups are somewhat complicated by the new 'buy' triggers in On-Balance-Volume for both the Nasdaq and S&P. And the new MACD trigger 'buy' for the S&P. Price action is key, so I would expect the candlestick to trump the technical picture; watch for lower prices tomorrow.
