These ideas are for SWING trades, not day trades, although the "buy high and sell higher" mindset is also successfully used in daytrading.
YELP: Nice bottoming patterns APPEARS to be in order. Only bullish trade for me on this is if it pushes above $25.55. I will not buy unless that price hits. Learned the hard way that the best way to avoid false breakouts is to take a buy high and sell higher approach.....meaning...if a stock is trading at $8 after a large up day, I wont buy unless $8.30 hits. With this mindset, I've been able to avoid fake breakouts, and prevent myself from getting squeezed when short.
PBMD a while back, this approach saved me from shorting...although I never bought either. Mindset was "If price hits this, its going to go higher and squeeze shorts."
RJET: Another nice bottoming pattern. Not a buyer until it breaks over $7.30s which will lead to a potential run back to $8.50s....if this price fills my Stop-Limit order, I will place another stop loss of $6.90 as that will negate the plan altogether.


Did you know YELP has earnings on Wednesday? Just a heads up!
@FoxTechnicals Sure didnt....but good or bad earnings dont impact my entries....if it hits my entry target then it'll likely be due to good earnings. If its bad earnings, my entry will not trigger.
RJET does as well, hopefully it doesn't hit your target in the next trading day and you're holding through earnings though since most traders (Timothy Sykes included) believe you should never hold through earnings as it obviously tends to be volatile
