Trade Ideas: DPZ, KOF, NCV, BNS, EWC, IWP, ABC, AIR

Markets (so far) have done a decent job atoning for some of Friday's losses. Whether they can regain their breakouts in the last hour of trading remains to be seen. The Trade Ideas scan showed modest buying; the 8 picks covered 5 minutes of time.

There was no one dominant stock; AAR Corp (AIR) made the most appearances over the course of the day at 24. Within the time span of the scan (the 5 minutes), Coca Cola Femsa (KOF) made 4 appearances (20 for the day).

Canada iShares (EWC) and Scotia Bank (BNS) are working through prior bearish crosses in their 20-day and 50-day MAs. AAR Corp (AIR) and Coca Cola Femsa (KOF) were the only picks to make bullish crosses over this period. Cup-and-handle buyers can look to Canada iShares (EWC: Buy @ $25.25; Stop loss on $24; Projected target: $30), Coca Cola Femsa (KOF: Buy: Trigger hit if current level holds into close; Stop loss on $32; Projected target: $42) and to a lesser degree, AAR Corp (AIR: Buy @ 20-day MA or break of $26.30; Stop loss on $25; Projected target of $36).

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.

Friday's gap downs bring indices close to support. Semiconductor Index at 200-day MA.

Image
Friday's big gaps lower have the potential to become breakdown gaps, but for now, the near term oversell has for a possible move into the gap price vacuum. The index most likely to achieve this in the coming days is the Russell 2000 ($IWM). The Russell 2000 ($IWM) finished with a neutral doji, just above its 50-day MA and in a thick band of support between $207.50 and $210 marked by the summer swing highs. Technicals have followed price action with new 'sell' triggers in On-Balance-Volume and ADX, but intermediate term stochastics haven't reached the mid-line that is typical support in bull markets. Aggressive bulls can look for a move to test the underside of the 20-day MA. The S&P was unable to hold its 50-day MA on Friday's open, and instead found itself toying with the May swing high. More significant support is likely to be found around 5,265, so if there is an undercut of Friday's low then this will be the next port of call. More concer

Being "Right" but still losing...

Image
I'm trying the Topstep Trader Combine as a sampler to day trading and it's an interesting setup with minimal outlay costs to get started. I'm not a huge fan of their platform UI but everything else has been pretty good so far. Today was one of those days where I waiting (and waiting) for the profit taking to kick in, but by the time sellers made their appearance I had reached my loss limit for the day and so that, was that. You can see all of my whipsaw trades here. For the record, I only work off price action, looking at support/resistance and tells like rapid stop take outs, usually a good sign for a reversal.
