$SKIN is not an official setup due to earnings just around the corner on 11/9. However, $SKIN is in play over the two-day high with a stop beneath Wednesday’s low, looking for immediate follow-through. If the breakout works one may be able to hold through earnings with a decent profit buffer. Generally speaking, we feel comfortable holding a full position through earnings with a profit buffer of 7-10%. If less than 5%, then we may have to reduce position size or exit the trade ahead of the report (depends on the type of stock and market conditions).

The model portfolio sold $DOCN for a gain of 9.7% and 3.8% (still long a 4% position with a tight stop). Also sold $DDOG for a 7% and 4% gain on the first two buys and a -0.7% loss on the last buy.

$APP long triggered on the open but closed weak with the market. Note the new stops in $APP, $DOCN, $TSLA, and $CRWD in the open positions section above.

There are no new official buy setups for Thursday. Although the timing model is in buy mode, the action in growth has been disappointing as of late. We’ve seen far too many false breakouts, as well as a lack of follow-through in breakouts that have worked.

$TSLA is still holding above the close of the gap-up day, which is a key level to monitor. Let’s see if the 1k level holds.

There is one new official buy setup for Wednesday in $APP. This is a swing trade based on the first pullback to the 8-day EMA in a strong uptrend. 

$APP also bounced off support of the prior base high and closed above the 8-day EMA for the second day in a row.

We like $APP for a swing trade based on Tuesday’s inside day. The entry is over the two-day high on the daily chart. $APP reports earnings on 11/10.
