Thread for Daily Swing Trade Newsletter subscribers

Recommended Posts

This thread is to discuss entries and exits for Alan Farleys 'Daily Swing Trade' newsletter stocks. I am a long-time subscriber and find this service to be quite profitable. That said, it is not for the beginner.

 

His set-ups are logical and he does a great job finding names where price has pulled back while the stock still carries underlying momentum soon to either re-establish itself. If you are new, you will learn a lot. If you are experienced, you will make a lot.

 

If anyone wants to discuss some entries and exits for some of the names in his newsletter, let's give it a shot here.

Here is how I traded ILMN. Essentially, I waited to buy until some intraday momentum off of the opening price developed -- sacrificing a bit in intraday location in order to try to catch a 'direct' move.

 

Waiting for momentum off of the opening price means you are 'joining in' on strong buying. I believe that this is the way electronic markets behave. You aren't always going to get a super-pretty intraday bull flag that is going to let you in.

 

The intraday momentum will more often than not lead to a green bar. The green bar starts a potential upswing. You can take partial profits into the initial burst and get a free-ride on the balance.

 

As an independent trader, you have a large advantage here -- you don't have to buy 500,000 shares and incur 3 points of slippage building a position. You can buy 500 or 1000 on a buy-stop with maybe 3 cents of slippage. Others will recognize the pretty chart pattern and the developing momentum and join-in. Even more important, you can exit without slippage whereas an institution can get buried trying to unload the stock. I know this because I used to work for one of those institutions getting buried on abandoned high-beta names.

Another good example. At some point, this comes down to feel too -- but here is an example of a choppy stock where you have a big advantage being small and nimble. You enter, if you don't like the follow-thru you can just get out and look to re-enter.

This is a free newsletter I get from Redoptions.com . He's very methodical about the plays he talks about and doesn't always have tons of plays, but the ones he does have have been on fire lately.

Here is the site: https://www.redoption.com/create_a_login.php It makes a big difference in leaving out the 's' ;) otherwise you would get a chess site. I wanted to say leave the last 's' out for savings, but that is not quite true as each advisory seems to cost $20
RED Option is $20 per month (30 day period), per advisory. Daily commentary, education, and expert support are all free

It makes sense to use a free newsletter, but you often get a piling on effect a la Jim Cramer, but perhaps it is what you are looking for in a momentum play. As usual, I assume the subscribers get the first dibs in the stock picks so I would be careful as well about these newsletters, do your own due diligence.

    • In Italy, I saw many of our brothers from different parts of Africa, sleeping and living in the park, the weather was very cold and its obvious that they were looked down upon. It made me want to cry and several questions overwhelmed my heart.   Is it not better to remain in Africa than to be homeless in this freezing cold weather?   I wish I have all the money in the world to rescue them...   Is this the reason why our skin color is looked down upon?   Do our government officials see this sight when they also travel outside of the country...does it hurt them or pain them like it pained me?

    • Date: 28th March 2025.   Market Selloff Deepens as Tariff Concerns Weigh on Investors     Global stock markets extended their losing streak for a third day as concerns over looming US tariffs and an escalating trade war dampened investor sentiment. The flight to safety saw gold prices surge to a record high, underscoring growing risk aversion. Stock Selloff Intensifies The MSCI World Index recorded its longest losing streak in a month, while Asian equities saw their sharpest decline since late February. US and European stock futures also signalled potential weakness, while cryptocurrency markets retreated and bond yields edged lower. Investors are scaling back their exposure ahead of President Donald Trump’s expected announcement of ‘reciprocal tariffs’ on April 2. His latest move to impose a 25% levy on all foreign-made automobiles has sparked fresh concerns over inflation and economic growth, prompting traders to reassess their strategies. Investor Strategies Shift Market experts are adjusting their portfolios in anticipation of heightened volatility. ‘It’s impossible to predict Trump’s next move,’ said Xin-Yao Ng of Aberdeen Investments. ‘Our focus is on companies that are less vulnerable to tariff policies while taking advantage of market dips to find value opportunities.’ Yield Curve Signals Economic Concerns In the bond market, the spread between 30-year and 5-year US Treasury yields widened to its highest level since early 2022. Investors are bracing for potential Federal Reserve rate cuts if economic growth slows further. Long-term Treasury yields hit a one-month peak as inflation risks tied to tariffs spurred demand for higher-yielding assets. Boston Fed President Susan Collins noted that while tariffs may contribute to short-term price increases, their long-term effects remain uncertain. Gold Hits Record High as Safe-Haven Demand Rises Amid market turbulence, gold prices soared 0.7% on Friday, reaching an all-time high of $3,077.60 per ounce. Major banks have raised their price targets for the precious metal, with Goldman Sachs now forecasting gold to hit $3,300 per ounce by year-end. Looking Ahead As investors digest economic data showing US growth acceleration in Q4, attention will turn to Friday’s release of the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index—the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation measure. This data will be critical in shaping expectations for future Fed policy moves. With markets on edge and trade tensions escalating, investors will closely monitor upcoming developments, particularly Trump’s tariff announcement next week, which could further dictate market direction.   Always trade with strict risk management.
