Thanks.
What does BOT! mean?
What does BOT! mean?

The orange BOT signals mean Tech Trader sees it as potential V-shaped bottom. The red ones are longer term, meaning it may just flatten out but is essentially where Tech Trader thinks is a floor for the stock. Note that it doesn't mean it necessarily gets traded, just part of Tech Trader's thought process amongst many other things it draws on the charts.

Large 1M share buy on $MNST that just pushed the price a couple dollars. Similar trade on it last week as well.

Taking gains on many energy names into week end. Main one holding is $PBR, ironically most tied to Brazil impeachment situation. The timing is pretty amazing as this is basically Tech Trader reducing exposure before the vote on Sunday.

Here is the news on Brazil and $PBR for those who aren't following as closely. Again, pretty amazing that we're taking gains off the table right into the vote on Sunday while keeping the one name literally in the center of the impeachment scandal.

Adding to last month's long Brazil/Oil theme with $VALE to the existing $PBR, $MUR, $EEP, $EQT. Tech Trader is still overall very neutral in exposure (55% long, 40% short), but it'll be interesting to see if this starts to change and especially if it's via energy bets. You can see in the sector exposure chart at the bottom that Energy is now leading for both most exposure (still a modest 20%) and marginally the most P&L for the year (excluding ETFs).

$OMF, which had Apr 31x call buying, just sold 47% stake in SpringCastle. See if this is the news the buyer wanted.

Already out of $XLB at $45. Again, intraday swings so extreme this year that Tech Trader is daytrading these moves.

Activity in individual stocks picking up. $BSX, $EGRX, $MDVN all bought this week. $WUBA, $FNGN, $KBWB shorted. $OMF rebought this month after already trading it last month.
Overall positioning looks like a continuation of the long Brazil/oil theme but now also with healthcare while selectively buying and shorting financial names. It seems like there's a lot of anticipation on catalysts coming up on many of these names ranging from healthcare events to potential acquisitions on other names.

Market slightly down but $OMF up almost 4% today. Still holding due to April call buying.

Brazil trade working out especially well today after Fed again. Names like $PBR up above $6 now from Tech Trader's entry around $5.

Tech Trader coming alive again w/ an intraday bottom on $XLK at $43.35. Only one so far - like first shots fired to test the waters.
More interestingly, Tech Trader's 100% hitrate once-in-a-blue-moon SPY buy signal might trigger today as well. All of us here are watching excitingly to see if we'll get yet another signal this year only 3 months into the year, which is very unusual and points to just how different the current market is from the last few years.

Looks like that $XLK signal was enough for the market to rally back to the close. Little disappointing, but we'll see if the market gives us a second chance to buy next week.

Funny but not serious note is $VRX (Valeant) has a short-term buy on an older RSI strategy at $29.5 with a target price of $45; not traded but interesting to watch, as that strategy has a 80% hitrate on all its signals.

Ton of bullish trendline breaks this week. This just from today: $ASNA $DWA $FLT $FIVE $HR $L $NAVI $NGL $RDN $SFM $SMLP $SWFT $TGI $TSLA $UNP
These from past few days: $APD $BAM $BKE $CBI $CBL $CCJ $CPA $D $D $DKS $DOV $DYN $E $ENLC $EPE $EQM $EQM $EQT $FCE-A $FLEX $GGP $GPK $HES $HPP $IBN $KT $KYN $LBTYA $LPI $LPT $LSTR $MAC $NFG $NS $OPK $PH $RRD $SCCO $SHOO $SNE $SRE $SRE $STLD $SU $TSL $TU $UNF $UNFI $UNFI $UPS $WBC $WPC $WYN $XLE $XPO
Normally very bullish when you get huge clusters like this. Again, older strategy not traded but good to monitor.

And there goes $INSY, just jumped 6% to $18 and still going.

Tech Trader back into $OMF on the same April call buying, this time at $31 strike. Seems like someone is really betting on it going above $30 by next month. Funny stock to watch because it always has 10% up days after it pulls back.

Brazil theme finally playing out in size after Fed, with names like PBR, ITUB, and EWZ up 8-10% a piece today. AMD also up 5% on talks about Intel licensing their GPU patents. Last theme to watch would be the marijuana one with INSY, which is presenting at a conference tomorrow.

Been a rather uneventful couple of months, but it looks like Tech Trader is finally building a couple themes here, first with Brazil (note that it cut ITUB and RIO though), then marijuana (INSY), and now potentially virtual reality with AMD. These are longer medium term plays, so we'll see how these play out.

Much of the market flat today after all the whipsaw, but IHUB and PBR from a couple days ago are up about 5% a piece. Not really sure why, but interesting to watch.

Starting to finally see some shakiness in the market. The XLU long and SMH short call from last week is starting to play out pretty well now.
Some other interesting observations are that Brazillian names in particular are being picked up on the long side. Tech Trader overall is still net short though.

XLU up over a percent since the bottom call a couple days ago, which is just weird since it's the opposite of what you'd expect with how rates are moving on the stronger than expected job numbers, but we'll take what we can get.
Tech Trader still net short (50% cash, 20% long, 50% short) but pretty much holding flat in performance despite the market rally. It's basically choosing to sidestep the rally out of caution. Some older strategies that are not traded live but we still monitor are also flagging extremely bearish, namely our RSI2 stocks which very rarely is over 100% short is currently 130% short and continuing to add. Main takeaway is the market is coming off very overbought and risk is high to the downside.
Below is the current exposure of the older RSI2 stocks strategy; it's not traded live for the obvious volatility in performance, but the peak exposure periods have a hitrate of 90% with those periods only happening a couple times a year.

CS and OMF up about 2-3% each. Not sure why; we're watching closely just to see what happens, as often times these can be frontrunning some kind of news.
Tech Trader overall getting net short again though both by shorting more and getting out of existing long positions. It is also getting more defensive with what it has left over in long names. SMH just got shorted and XLU is being bought on intraday bottom, both of which are defensive signs.
