TUE 3/3: AZN – CALLING A 3RD SELL SIGNAL @ $198.10 +4.8%

9:57 AM – The stock is getting turned back from its 10 DMA and breaking below round-$200 support. That combination signals weakening momentum. Calling a 3rd and FINAL SELL SIGNAL here this morning against a volatile market backdrop. Being nimble in a difficult market environment is prudent, especially while booking modest gains.

BUY SIGNALS:
1/13 (1/3) @ $188.94

SELL SIGNALS:
2/11 (1/3) @ $204.19 +8.1%
2/26 (1/3) @ $203.24 +7.6%
3/3 (1/3) @ $198.10 +4.8%

OVERALL P/L: +6.8%

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Respect Round-Number Breaks

  • Round-number levels often act as psychological support and resistance.

  • When price breaks a level like $200 while also failing at the 10 DMA, momentum is shifting.

  • Taking profits during rule violations keeps gains intact during volatile markets.

THU 2/26: AZN – CALLING A 2ND SELL SIGNAL @ $203.24 +7.6%

10:44 AM – Shares are breaking below the 10 DMA with a sharp increase in volume. That is a default SELL SIGNAL under our rules. Momentum is shifting, and volume confirms it. Next clear support sits near the round $200 level. A decisive break below that area would trigger the FINAL SELL SIGNAL — and still lock in a solid winner.

BUY SIGNALS:
1/13 (1/3) @ $188.94

SELL SIGNALS:
2/11 (1/3) @ $204.19 +8.1%
2/26 (1/3) @ $203.24 +7.6%

OVERALL P/L: +7.9%

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: The 10 DMA Rules

  • A break below the 10 DMA is a SELL SIGNAL — especially when volume expands.

  • Increased volume signals institutional distribution, not random movement.

  • Following this rule violation preserves gains and prevents a winner from turning into a problem.

WED 2/11: AZN – CALLING A 1ST SELL SIGNAL @ $204.19 +8.1%

3:42 PM – Shares gap up on strong earnings this afternoon. With the stock extended following the earnings-driven move, I’m calling a 1st SELL SIGNAL to bank partial profits. Earnings reactions are often volatile, and scaling out into strength reduces risk while preserving upside participation.

BUY SIGNALS:
1/13 (1/3) @ $188.94 (adjusted)

SELL SIGNALS:
2/11 (1/3) @ $204.19 +8.1%

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Take Partial Profits Into Earnings Strength

 • Earnings gaps can extend quickly but often retrace just as fast.

 • Scaling out by 1/3rds allows you to lock in gains while staying involved.

 • Selling strength is proactive risk management.

 • Consistency comes from executing rules — not predicting outcomes.

TUE 1/13: AZN – CALLING A BUY SIGNAL (1/3) @ $94.47

3:56 PM – Shares are advancing from their 10 DMA with a +53% increase in volume, showing steady accumulation into the close. Price is tracking toward session highs with little nearby resistance, leaving room for further upside. The stock carries very high ranks and is supported by solid fundamentals, confirming the entry.

BUY SIGNALS:
1/6 (1/3) @ $94.47

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Buy Strength That Closes Well

  • Advances from the 10 DMA signal short-term momentum returning.

  • Closing near the high of the session reflects demand that persists through the day.

  • High ranks, solid fundamentals, plus clean technicals create asymmetrical opportunities when risk is defined.
