Thank you for taking the time to read this. Hopefully this will be as helpful for you as I hope it will be for me. I have been trading since April 2017. There have been as many ups as there have been downs but I have settled into a groove.
Please be aware that I'm learning and have no significant experience. I will use this site to share any stocks I am watching.
I currently work an 8-5 job and live in the southwest. The market currently opens at 6:30 am and it's a struggle to get ready for the day, get the kids ready for school and get to work during the opening activity to the trading day.
My current strategy is simple. I'm looking for stock that have a healthy average trading volume, have had a bullish engulfing candle and open the day with good volume. Once the stock moves higher than the previous day's close I will look into buying and holding for a day or two.
I will post a photo of the stock(s) that qualify and give my basic thoughts. I'm doing this mainly for my own purposes as a quick reference but hopefully you find them informational. If you read something I've written and see a pattern or a flaw in my analysis please don't hesitate to let me know.
Before I get into Monday's list there's a quick, shameless plug. I use Robinhood on my phone to trade. If you don't use it but would like to try it, please use my link below. Once you sign up we will both receive a free stock worth up to $250 ROBINHOOD
Without further ado, here is what I'm eyeing for Monday, August 8:
#HUSA had an engulfing candle on Friday, with good volume on Monday I will look to get in at $.57-.58.
#AEZS is one that I was fortunate to get into the spike in mid-July. It's back on my radar with Thursday's engulfing candle and the confirmation on Friday. I may have missed the boat on this one but if it hits $2.00 on Monday it may be worth looking into.
#AVEO is another strong watch if it gets to $2.55 early in the morning.
#NQ#GFI#CDR#NIOPThese are slightly out of my price range at the moment but CD-R and ZIOP would be strong watches.
