Tuesday: more consolidation

We're still digesting the V-shape move up from March 16 lows. But this seems much healthier than a pullback, many stocks are setting up for a move higher. Gold and silver are helping, big gains today for both, gold breaking out.

Swingtrades
Because of the many good setups I found, I started a whole lot of small positions, meaning to add when time is right. Some of them immediately went the wrong way or formed a candlestick on daily that wasn't to my liking. For those and other reasons, some positions are closed already, most of them near end of day or when the stop was hit.

Closed trades:
WY: long from 04/04 @25.20, out 24.75 (-1.82%)
BBY: long from 04/04 @28.46, out 28.80 (-1.22%)
MTZ: long from 04/04 @21.50, out 21.81 (+1.42%)
LEN: short 17.82, out 18.41 (-3.34%)
ARBA: long 34.61, out 33.92 (-2.02%) I entered a limit instead of a stop-limit order when price moved over 35 in pre-market. Should have kept my stop-limit order!
MOBI: long 13.39, out 13.40 (0,00%)
JAZZ: long 32.42, out 32.54 (+0.33%) This was a winner later on, 33.54 EOD.
LNG: more of a daytrade actually, long on break 9.50 (entry 9.58), out 3/4 @9.94 and 1/4 SL @9.60 (+2.71%)
MELA: long 3.58, out 3.67 and 3.59 (raised SL) (+0.77%)
ECA: long 35.13, out 34.50 (-1,82%)
ARMH: long 28.50, out 28.67 (+0.56%)
MCHP: long 38.42, out 38.18 (-0.65%)

Daytrades
Two daytrades, TYC and YOKU. Somehow, I managed to take the wrong stocks, mediocre setups maybe and let the good ones slip by.

TYC: in on bounce from 9EMA (actually I entered this one from a 15m-chart instead of the 5m-chart).
Price reversed shortly after entering and then bounced on the 20EMA but I was already stopped out.

YOKU was an entry after NRIB7, which worked well eventually. Price stalled on R3 and fell back towards R2 to stop me out. Luckily I took a partial profit near HOD. End result was a breakeven trade. Later on, price went back up to reach my first target of 51.95 (only just).

Consolidating under resistance...

...is what markets did all day. A choppy and rather boring day. Nothing really interesting, silver was the only big mover (+2%). Semi's went further down, which was to be expected after Friday's move.

Swingtrades
I opened a bunch of swingtrades, including some shorts as well as positions in TLT and SDS as a hedge.
All are small positions. Some I closed because they started to get extended from their base or because of a nice gain.
RIMM: short @55.75. Took profits 55.29 - 54.92 - 54.41, sold everything, +1.33% on average.
OCZ: long from Friday @8. Took partials 8.44 - 8.57 - 8.73. Keeping a few on to swing in case of a gap up or trend day.
WY: long 25.20, SL24.75
BX: long 18.30, SL17.80 (SL moved to breakeven), took off 2/3 near HOD
MTZ: long 21.50, SL20.50 (SL moved to 21.35), took off 1/5 @21.90
BBY: short 28.46, SL29.00 (SL moved to 28.80)
BGCP: long 9.53, SL9.22
TLT: long 92.28, SL91.40
SDS: long 20.81, SL20.51

Daytrades
2 daytrades: BRCM and SOHU.

BRCM was mentioned in the HCPG-newsletter, as a support-buy in the 38-area. And that was exactly where the stock bounced at the open. In @38.42 and took some off at the pivot-point (38.74). Then the stock reversed and I sold the remaining part at breakeven.

SOHU: In near 94 after the stock bounced on the 5EMA. The stock went down again until the 9EMA catched up, then SOHU took off like a rocket, straight ahaid to R3. I took profit near 95 (whole number) and  some more near 96. I left some on but my stop was a little too high and I was stopped out. SOHU rallied some more towards the close.
