Stock indexes stay in bearish mode. Oil USO and Bitcoin are bullish.

Stock positions:

DOW was closed at a 13% profit and has been moved to the completed trades list.
We still have a sizeable paper loss in AA to deal with. Waiting for a bit of a rebound to exit. spBuy signals come with more risk than the standard Buy signals, because there is no clear exit point on spBuy. This one went against us very rapidly. Some traders tend to double down on such trades by buying 'another tranche'. That lowers the cost basis, but also doubles the position size. It is not a recommended strategy to do that, but it will work sometimes.

SPX follows NDX and RUT into bearish mode. Continuing flip-flop markets.

Stock positions:

DOW keeps sputtering just below its RevL. We will take the profit and sell at today's Open. If the stock goes into bullish mode by closing above $31.02, then we can always get back in on a standard Buy. It is common for a stock to hesitate just below the RevL, that's why with spBuy trades it never hurts to take you rpofit quickly.
We will be adding NFLX as a new special entry. It is on a spBuy++ signal. We will add at the Open.

Sell signal for NDX. We keep seeing this constant hesitation and cross-currents, as I have been pointing out for weeks. This is a tricky environment. Some kind of catalyst may be needed to get us out of this.

Stock positions:

Only a few remaining positions. XYL is up 12% and may turn double green soon. PFE is off to a good start too.
DOW is up about 10% since our latest spBuy entry. It is not far from its RevL and if it turns to bullish mode, then the risk would be gone from this trade.
AA is not doing so well, but MoM still points up and we decided to hold on after the stock took a dip on acquisition news.
