I'm not an expert and have no system, but I feel like this is going to be a good year for oil stocks.

In fact, it's already been a good year for oil stocks. Most of the big ones are up 5+ percent already in 2022.

Agreed, oil is a solid play right now and probably the rest of the year.

I picked up some Oneok (OKE) about the middle of last October. It's been rising fairly steadily since then. It also pays a decent dividend.

You'd have wanted to get in LCID using a buy stop market order at the high of 1-7 or 1-10 as it moved upwards today. If you bought in right now, your technical stop would be around 10%, which is too much risk given current market conditions.

Here’s some setups I’m adding to my watchlist. I’m only trading if the market continues to look green and these confirm. That may happen any time this week but if it doesn’t happen, I don’t force any trades. Currently I will only enter positions with 5% stops or less given how tough the market has been to open the year. Many times after initiating a position, I set my stop to the low of the current day or the day prior, so I'm not using technical stops per say as I'd like to be more conservative currently and have smaller losses if I'm losing and positions move against me.

COOP 42.77 41.61 2.7
DGX 160 154.85 3.2
EXTR 14.67 14.26 2.7
LLY 262.50 255.63 2.6

Super performance is achieved by keeping losses small and preserving capital. I was reading about a professional trader who had 90% gains last year, in what was a tough trading year. He achieved most of those gains in about 6 total weeks, mostly all at the start of the year.

He probably had some GME or AMC to achieve those gains I would wager and bought and sold at key times.

I guarantee he did not trade those.

Hard reversal from the open just hot in the last 30 min. Could be filling the gap from the open but not liking the price action. Especially in the QQQs.

Goddamn rain man. I looked at XOM which I had earlier. Guess I should have hung onto it. That’s a hell of a run since the first of the year.

It seems to me that there are a few factors that are helping oil this year.

1. They've been beaten down for about three years. (Ask me how I know that.) So they're cheap compared to other sectors. As money moves out of growth stocks, it's got to go somewhere.
2. The economic recovery is continuing, which is good for oil.
3. Apparently dividend stocks are seen as good hedges on inflation.

The only headwind is the move toward renewable energy, but that's a known thing and is built into pricing, I bet.

For those using TC2000 for screening & analysis, just curious which plan you are on? Is their gold plan pretty much required to get any value out of it?

I think the lowest package you can have is the gold plan for $29.99 a month?

Market appears to have rolled over this morning which I was afraid of. The last 3 days were too obvious. We could be in for another run to the downside.

FTR I am looking at the following levels for immediate-term support

QQQ - $379ish

SPY - $467ish

We go below those and bad things man, bad things

You’re pretty spot on. Definitely rolled over towards close. You just using support on the charts for predictions?
