VWAP Buy for Trending days

DOW was trending higher, +50 points up after a brief deline.

MACD histogram (momentum) signals also went up suddenly, normally it signals a change in direction. This time, it is an UP move.

Thus it would call for going LONG in stocks. $INDU also gave LONG signal.

The stock with BUY signal was KLAC. As it was a trending day buy, VWAP BUY should be used.

Mean reversion

AMGN was so technically efficient today. Long Entry (green bars) in the early part, then broke down below SuperTrend and Short Entry ( red bars ).

Go Long when large volume picked up while prices remained below lower MPD band. Earlier penetrations didn't have large volume.

This is Ebay against $INDU on 17th August. Ebay was going higher and higher and closed up for more than 6%.

Ebay had been a strong stock prior to this. The breakout happened late 16th. It has to be an overnight trade.

Entry

Take the long trade whenever $INDU completed a downturn and up again.

Note the followings:

  • $INDU was never OS(oversold) in multi-MACCI settings
  • Ebay's rally was followed through with high volumes and Ebay was never OB(overbought) in the context of the MPD, in otherwords, Ebay never went outside the upper MPD band
