It was another frustrating day of RVLT sucking wind only today it was accompanied by APP. I’m a huge fan of the APP brand, so their ticker is a permanent fixture on my Always Stalking watch list. When it fell out of the tight/multi-month consolidation I took it to be the head fake, the shakeout, before the actual move. Well wouldn’t you know it, I was -10% on the name in a flash reminding me how important entries are on these low priced stocks. I simply don’t have a ton of conviction here, so I cut my loss and moved on.
You know my thoughts on RVLT.
YGE was interesting today, being one of my largest positions and all. I want better prices before parting ways with any of my shares. They’re Chinese and solar, I mean, what’s better?
Yelp had a decent day and some clown ‘angel investor’ put on his big boy pants and bet five stacks Yelp will be out of business by 2015. Oh, you bad. He made his bet via FB, BTW. Have you heard of the stock market, you coward?
Nothing else really materialized in my swing portfolio.
Meanwhile, you hear traders calling days like today a day trader’s dreams or a day trader’s environment and I’m pleased to report #BOSSRAM concurs. On the session, Bossram Alpha took 12 trades covering three different cycles and went 12-for-12 to earn a staggering 13.75 handles.
Based on a one contract position size Bossram yielded $687.50 before commissions. Considering the position size can increase by one contract for every $1800 earned, you can see the scalability. All trades taken must have seen price to go through the entry and exit by a tick in order to validate the walk forward and provide conservative numbers. I think it’s safe to say BOSSRAM does well in choppy environments. Aka, this is the perfect fix for a momentum trader stuck with summertime sadness.
I’ve been overly excited for algorithms I’ve built in the past, so believe me, I’m still a skeptic. But today’s performance was dead on with what I’ve seen occurring in my seven month back test. ROBUSTO!
I look forward to taking the cycle live alongside my current /ES trading repertoire.
Be on the lookout for odd moves overnight, it seems like that kind of night…especially with the rare moon.

Are you still bullish YELP? Or take profit and run?
What’s your timeframe?
Are you treating Yelp like a cheap trick? Or are you settling into a concept stock, fully prepared to ride through a 10-30% correction if the broad market goes risk off?
Not for YELP. For other holdings, yes. Are you ?
no Fred, I am not
