About Alex - Chart Freak

I’ve been a full time trader for well over a decade and began trading in the late 1990s while working in management and sales at a well-known aerospace company. As my style evolved, so did my success, and it allowed me to leave corporate America to pursue my passion and trade full time.

Ready To Run

January 5, 2017 /120 Comments/in Premium /by Alex - Chart Freak

Todays report is simply to discuss stocks that look ready to run. Tuesday, while looking at the S&P 500, we saw a reversal. We also saw a reversal in many of the stocks that I had been eyeing, so let's take a look at the the markets and some of those stocks.

This was from yesterdays report. It was bullish overall, because we were locking in a right translated daily cycle, but I was also expecting a dip into the daily cycle low. In the weekend report, I pointed out the 50sma as a possible target for that drop.

SPX - On Wednesday we saw follow through on the reversal. I do not know for sure if that was the dcl, but these markets look set to go higher.

Looks Inviting

There are areas of the markets that are looking quite inviting, so lets review the first day of trading in 2017 and see what we can find.

SPX - From the weekend report, I expected a bit more of a drop.

SPX - Good volume on the reversal, this could continue higher.

Weekend Report- January 1st

In my opinion, the year 2016 ushered in a traders paradise. Let's take a look at where 2016 left off , and where 2017 begins.

.

SPX - As expected, the S&P 500 is selling down at this time, possible target shown.

Dec 29th: High Five -Things Are lining Up

December 29, 2016 /199 Comments/in Premium /by Alex - Chart Freak

What is lining up? Let's take a look.

.

DJIA - I do believe that DOW 20,000 will have to wait for 2017. This is dipping into a daily cycle low.

Wednesday December 28th – 20,000

December 28, 2016 /100 Comments/in Premium /by Alex - Chart Freak

.

All eyes on Dow 20,000. It was close, but we didn't quite get there yet.

.

DJIA - I'm expecting a drop into a dcl, but the question remains, "Will we see Dow 20,000 before 2017?" It is possible, but then I think the markets experience that pull back.. Dow 19980.24 was the high Tuesday.

We do have a right translated daily cycle, so I would expect Dow 20,000 sooner or later.

DEC 25 WEEKEND REPORT

December 26, 2016 /109 Comments/in Premium /by Alex - Chart Freak

We have one shortened week left in the trading year, and it could be a light volume week at that. Lets review what happened last week and see where we could be heading from here.

.

SPX - Though this looks like a bull flag, it also now looks ready to dip down into a dcl. The red line is the 50sma, near 2188, and would be a normal downside target. The Vix dropped very low last week, and a pull back is due.

SPX WKLY - The blue line is the 10ma on a weekly basis, at 2188. Again, a possible target for a normal healthy pull back.

Dec 23 – Stock Picking

December 23, 2016 /55 Comments/in Premium /by Alex - Chart Freak

No doubt you've seen someone in the produce section or even out in a field picking apples, strawberries, or some other food product. They usually wont just grab the first one that they see, but instead they will compare one piece of the fruit side by side with another piece of fruit. They are looking to see which one looks healthier, or possibly which one might be flawed, so that they can choose the one that is best for them or their family.

Thursday – Dec 22 – Day After Day

December 22, 2016 /98 Comments/in Premium /by Alex - Chart Freak

Yesterdays reports called 'Baby Steps' discussed how the markets have been moving slowly along, and how that can eventually lead to a particular outcome. Well, most areas of the markets continued that slow crawl yesterday. If you read yesterdays report, nothing has really changed in many areas, except for Natgas. Today we will briefly review and discuss a few of these areas again.

.

Did the Dow hit 20,000 yet? It was only 13 points away when I pointed out this chart

WED Dec 21- Baby Steps

December 21, 2016 /86 Comments/in Premium /by Alex - Chart Freak

On Tuesday, the markets continued to take some baby steps. Not only did we see The DJIA take more baby steps toward Dow 20,000, but the VIX took baby steps toward the lows of the year. Add to that Oil, Gold, and the Miners taking baby steps of their own. Lets take a look and see what direction things seem to be heading in.

DJIA - The Dow was only 13 points away from tagging the big round number 20,000. Since the VIX is below 12, we would usually expect a top to be forming, so the big party may be short lived once the Dow achieves that goal.
