Another Shot at Playing with Fire; Chess Moves
I went long JNUG, the triple-long ETF for junior gold miners, at $33.40 earlier on Stocktwits/Twitter with a stop-loss below $32, playing for junior gold miners to lead a rally higher. I may day-trade part or all of this position, depending on the action into the final hour of trading. HL is one of the top components in the GDXJ ETF, and it...

Now You'll Have to Be Extra Gritty
After a multi-day short squeeze rally in crude oil, which was inevitable in terms of "when, not if" (although timing it is always extremely difficult), we are seeing some sharp giveback today as latecomer longs feel the heat for what seemed to be an easy money trade. In reality, though, bottom-fishing broken charts (meaning price below...

Waiting in the Weeds
I am have held off on new trades today, thus far, as the action still smacks of choppy behavior. However, I am entertaining a whole host of fresh trade ideas, including potential longs in JNUG and JO. In addition, looking to go short the indices and long volatility is on my radar if we see weakness this afternoon, potentially trapping longs who...

Tough Crossing the Highest Bridge
It is not just the GILD gap down this morning which is pressuring biotechnology stocks at-large again. In addition, AMGN continues to break lower from a highlighted descending channel pattern, seen on the daily chart, below. BIIB still looks to be the strongest of the major biotechs hanging in there, for now. But clearly the momentum is...

Watch the Components for Explosive Moves
In determining whether the precious metals miners are on the cusp of another leg higher after a stellar open to 2015, I am keying off some individual components in the GDXJ, ETF for the junior gold miners. In particular, you can see individual components AG HL, which have a heavy weighing in that GDXJ ETF, both coiled up on their respective...

Update Into the End of the Workday
I decided to sell off the rest of my DWTI long at $107.32 from my $98.88 entry earlier today. I will not swing crude oil with inventory report tomorrow morning. CMG looks to be one of the big earnings tonight after the bell. Overall, despite my TZA loss and gold miners reversing lower, the airline shorts and an opportunistic trade in oil...

Debating a Justifiable Swing
Earlier this afternoon I initiated what I planned to be a day-trade on Stocktwits and Twitter in DWTI, the triple-short ETF for crude oil. Here is my original note. I sold off profits up to $104.86. Currently, I have half of the position on and am debating swinging it overnight. Crude oil has seen a nice multi-day short squeeze back from...

Cutting a Loser and Locking in Airline Winners; Chess Moves
The market continues to be extremely volatile not just on a day-to-day basis, but also intraday as well. As such, there is still a premium being placed on agility and discipline as a trader. We simply need to keep cutting losers quickly, while managing winners effectively. With this in mind, I made the following sales: I sold my TZA long for...

Signs of the Bread Basket Storm Passing
While crude oil is getting much play for its snapback rally from badly beaten-down conditions, soft commodities are also staging relief rallies today. Just like oil, the softs have been pummeled in recent months, which I am sure has been just one consequence of the U.S. Dollar runaway freight train higher. Nonetheless, the greenback is coming...
