MTG Market Timing Model –  BUY  

Our timing model was designed to keep our trades in line with the prevailing market trend, not to call tops or catch bottoms in S&P 500 or Nasdaq Composite.

today’s watchlist (potential trade entries):

open positions:

closed positions:

position notes:

• $ENPH and $LNTH buy stops triggered.

Commentary:

The Nasdaq Composite gained another +1.6% on Wednesday and is up +5.8% from the close of the bullish reversal candle on 7/14.

While market conditions have improved, most leading growth stocks have underperformed this week, which is disappointing.

The graph below shows the percentage gain of several stocks and broad-based ETFs since the close of 7/14. Although $LNTH has kept pace with $QQQ, growth has struggled while junk off the bottom ripped higher.

Buy stops entries in $LNTH and $ENPH triggered. $LNTH closed above range highs on a pick up in volume but does have earnings next week on 7/27.  Note that we raised the stops above breakeven to guard against a 10% winner turning into a loss.

We raised the stop in $ENPH to guard against a false breakout ahead of earnings next week on 7/27.

$SWIR was in pretty good shape prior to the Nasdaq reclaiming the 50-day MA, breaking out above the base high on 7/12 while $QQQ was selling off. One would have expected $SWIR to move higher with $QQQ this week but has stalled for several days in a row with the relative strength line breaking down.

There are no new setups for Thursday’s session. The $MCK buy stop has been canceled. Also, note the new stops in the watchlist section.

Unofficial Setups – For experienced traders only, no guidance is given for these setups.

• Longs – none
• Shorts –  none
