Trade of the Day - Arch Coal, Inc. (Public, NYSE:ACI)

Talked about this ACI setup in the comments last night. Yesterday's failed B&B BO could result in a breakdown.

Here's my trade on the 5 min.

I was watching ESRX for a C&H pattern yesterday afternoon but it didn't pan out. This morning my alert went off. But I didn't react quickly enough.

Just managed a scalp.


My gapper trade started off nicely. Thought it might form a C&H when it stalled, but it retraced too deeply.



Interesting little video on GOOG

Tough day. I thought AMAT was ready to go mid-day. Then it dipped with the market, but closed strong. The daily looks better than yesterday.

Guesses for tomorrow:
AMAT, SIGM, AKAM, OTEX, BDX, GRMN

Jim,

Agree. Fed Speak puts the markets on edge - no follow thru.

Agree with your picks. I also like ARTC - strong EOD - I see a triangle BO potential.

HANS - earnings tomorrow AH

ACOR - H&S top may be ready to break down.

XLNX

PCLN - flag pole - could take a few days.

I think only a scalper with a quick finger can like this type of market--looks like you had the right idea!

NASDAQ is trading in a very tight range. Hopefully we will get some expansion soon. That will create more trading opps.
