NDX and RUT are not far from getting back into bullish mode. Very choppy conditions continue.

Stock positions:

ZS was closed at a 10% gain and NFLX handed us a 9% loss. Not the most favorable exit prices, but that's how it goes with sell on open. Both have been moved to the completed trades list.
No new opportunities worth taking, so we stick to a small number of positions. Just keeping our powder dry for better setups that will be coming sooner or later. Note that we went to a lower number of stock positions in May and the market has gone nowhere since. Trading is a game of patience.

RUT gives a Sell signal and follows NDX into bearish mode. SPX is still acting a bit stronger, but this kind of cross-currents have been going on for some time.

Stock positions:

In our special entries I am going to use the time stop on NFLX and ZS and close them at today's Open. We entered those trades a month ago and with indexes sputtering I wouldn't extend short term trades indefinitely. ZS can be kept if you are in for the longer term, because it has gone into bullish mode. That depends on your personal strategy.

NDX is giving a Sell signal, which means a failed rally. RUT is also not far away from a Sell signal. There has been some rotation into the lagging SPX names, which is holding up a bit better.

Stock positions:

The more defensive names in our stock list are benefiting from the weakness in high-flying tech stocks.
We will be adding TRMB, on a standard Buy signal, at today's Open. We last sold this stock at $67 in late Feb and now we can pick it back up around $53.
With the markets rather sideways/choppy it is better more emphasis on shorter term spBuy entries, but we can still add an occasional standard Buy.
