We all see the screens differently. However we all must see the screens as patterns of risk/reward opportunities that we can make our own. Below are 7 trades I might make in CCJ. Do you see your screens this way?
1) Premarket Breakdown Trade
Play the downside momentum until the stocks slows.
2) The Bounce
Let CCJ stop going down, hold higher, and then buy.
3) The Breakout or the Flag Pattern
Buy with the break above 31 for a breakout trade. Buy into the consolidation for a Flag Pattern.
4) The Reversal Trade
Short when the pattern turns negative and hold till the breakout level of 31.
5) The Support Play
CCJ broke out from 31 so buy into the pullback.
6) Resistance Play
CCJ broke down from 31.80 so short into this level.
7) Support/Resistance Trade
Buy CCJ as it holds above resistance.
These are a lot of trades for you to consider as you trading this one stock. For the intraday trader these are some of the patterns that I recognized. You do not have to be in every trade. Which patterns make the most sense to you? But search for these patterns and see each trade as just a risk/reward opportunity.

Got the first 3 pretty well, I was a little late on 4, but recovered well with 5. This was a good stock to be in this morning.
Hi Bella,
I wonder where would you place your stops? Esp. in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd plays…
Thanks!
How did you determine that #1 wasn’t a support play and and that #3 wasn’t a resistance play? #3 looks like it could be a short on a retrace
