Swing Trade Screen Picks – Swinging and Missing

Lee Adler

List performance was poor again last week. I’ve been in a slump lately. I’m not seeing pitches well, and my swing timing is a little off.  Non-subscribers click here for access.

Trading is a tough game. The pitches that we see are hard and often deceptive. The game has sped up. The season is long. As we age, our vision and reflexes aren’t what they were when we were younger players. I have confidence that by sticking with proven swing mechanics, we’ll eventually start making good contact and hitting home runs again. Non-subscribers click here for access.

Meanwhile, in this week’s games… Non-subscribers click here for access.

Including picks still open at the end of the week plus those stopped out during the week, the list had an average loss of 1% with an average holding period of 13 calendar days. That compares with a loss of 0.6 % with an average holding period of 12 calendar days, for the prior week. Non-subscribers click here for access.

Screens of Friday’s closing price charts resulted in 21 stocks meeting preliminary buy side criteria versus 136 on the sell side. That compares with 20 buys and 82 sells the week before. Do I detect a trend? Non-subscribers click here for access.

Next, I counted the signals that were triggered on Friday alone. After applying these trigger filters, just 3 of the preliminary buys qualified on Friday, while 8 of the sells did. Not many, either way. After reviewing the charts, I took the pitches and didn’t swing. Non-subscribers click here for access.

For picks closed in May, it was a losing month. Picks closed out during the month had an average loss of 0.1% and an average holding period of 22 calendar days.  Non-subscribers click here for access.

Swing Trade Screen Picks – Had the Plot, But Not the Right Actors

Lee Adler

List performance was poor last week despite being overwhelmingly long, consistent with the market. It might just be a matter of requiring a little patience, or it might be just that time when the market takes back some of what we took from it. Or it might be the precursor to a market reversal. Or pure chance. It happens. I can’t draw any conclusions from this action yet. Non-subscribers click here for access.

Including picks still open at the end of the week plus those stopped out during the week, the list had an average loss of 0.6 % with an average holding period of 12 calendar days. That compares with a gain of 1.3% with an average holding period of 11 calendar days, for the prior week. In other words, treading water. Non-subscribers click here for access.

Screens of Friday’s closing price charts resulted in 20 stocks meeting preliminary buy side criteria versus 82 on the sell side. That compares with 87 buys and 24 sells the week before. That’s a reversal of the recent trend but the numbers are too small to represent a broad market reversal. Non-subscribers click here for access.

Next, I counted the signals that were triggered on Friday alone. After applying these trigger filters, just 5 of the preliminary buys qualified on Friday, while 9 of the sells did. I liked 2 of the buys enough to add to the list. I added one of the sells as a short. Non-subscribers click here for access.

Two picks hit their stop prices last week. Another loser was dropped as of last Monday’s opening price. Dropping those and adding the 3 new ones will leave 12 buys and 1 short on the list for this week. Non-subscribers click here for access.

May Tax Collections Were Super Bullish

Lee Adler

Withholding tax collections boomed in May. Consequently, the US Treasury is flush with cash. This means that T-bill paydowns are likely to hit my previous estimate of $80-100 billion for June. It could be more than that, but the difference shouldn’t be enough to materially impact the market. The current estimates are bullish enough.  Non-subscribers, click here for access.

This report gives the details of the May tax windfall, what it means for the market, and how you can use that information in your trading and investment strategy.  Non-subscribers, click here for access.

Here’s a snip from last month’s summary of the review of April tax collections.   Non-subscribers, click here for access.

5/3/24 This is the second straight month of strong tax revenue. That means less supply. The usual April-May tax bulge cash cow could hang around through June, when the government sees a mini tax collection bulge from June estimated taxes. That could extend the T-bill paydown period into late June or early July before the well runs dry.  Non-subscribers, click here for access.

And that, my friends, will be a bullish influence between now and the end of the second quarter.  Non-subscribers, click here for access.

After Growth in the Spring Comes the Harvest

Lee Adler

The Treasury supply issue is still favorable for most of June. The Treasury has already resumed paying down T-bills thanks to a huge cash balance and the prospect of a big wave of estimated tax collections on June 15. Non-subscribers, click here for access. 

Subscribers, click here to download the report.

I now estimate that paydowns should rebuild the Fed’s RRP facility to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. That should be enough to last until xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. It doesn’t guarantee bullish markets until then, but it’s potential cash flow that will offset ongoing QT until it doesn’t. That should be xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx at the latest. So enjoy the party while it lasts. Non-subscribers, click here for access. 

Meanwhile the stock market had looked historically overbought versus the level of bank deposits in recent weeks. But it has now blown through that record extreme into a supernova of bullishness. When that finally turns, it should mark the end of this bull run. But we’re not there yet, and there’s no reason to try and anticipate the turn by selling too early. The market will tell us. Meanwhile, I would let xxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx. Non-subscribers, click here for access. 

However, the buildup of divergences between liquidity indicators and the direction of asset prices means that when the market finally does give it up, we should believe it. It will be time to sell and sell short, not just wait out the next correction. Non-subscribers, click here for access.

Swing Trade Screen Picks – Still Tilted Buy

Lee Adler

The latest screens resulted in 87 stocks meeting preliminary buy side criteria versus just 24 on the sell side. That compares with 79 buys and 18 sells the week before. Sells have all but disappeared, and buys are holding steady at a modest level.  Non-subscribers click here for access.

Technical Trader subscribers click here to download the complete report.

Next, I counted the signals that were triggered on Friday alone. After applying these trigger filters, just one of the preliminary sells qualified on Friday, while 11 of the buys did. That still does not signify broad thrust. I only liked 2 of the buys enough to add to the list. I did not add any sells.  Non-subscribers click here for access.

One pick hit its stop price last week. Another loser will be dropped based on today’s opening price. Dropping those and adding the 2 new ones, will leave 10 buys and 2 shorts on the list for this week.  Non-subscribers click here for access.

I have added or adjusted stops for several existing picks. New picks are added without stops. Risk management is assumed via multiple small positions that won’t break the bank if they go wrong.  Non-subscribers click here for access.

Subscribers, see table of picks and charts in report. Non-subscribers click here for access.

List performance was minimally positive last week. Including picks still open at the end of the week plus those stopped out during the week, the list had an average gain of 1.3 % with an average holding period of 11 calendar days. That compares with 2.3% with an average holding period of 18 calendar days, for the prior week. The change was mostly due to adding 8 new picks that started last week.  Non-subscribers click here for access.

For picks closed in May, it was a losing month. Picks closed out during the month had an average loss of 0.1% and an average holding period of 22 calendar days.  Non-subscribers click here for access.

For all picks closed out in April the average gain was 15.2% on an average holding period of 34 calendar days. Of those 7 were buys and 4 were shorts.   Non-subscribers click here for access.
