ACE failed as a buy candidate

As I expected ACE failed as a bullish trade candidate. It didn’t hold and fell below 50 day MA along with other potential trades I mentioned in my last post. Partially it is due to a sharp sell off in the market. Thus I considered those trades as potential candidates and not a buy candidate. Continue reading →

My thinking that since the market would open already 2.5% lower would not provide too much space for further downtrend showed up as correct. Continue reading →

Actually $80 after commissions. Continue reading →
