James F. Taulman AUPH, BB - SIDEBAR, JTPP

11:06 AM – Shares are trading to new highs this morning with an increase in volume. That is a bullish technical signal and a point to add more to the current position. Tracking price will be adjusted.

James’ Trader’s Tip: Add on Breakouts

  • New highs on increasing volume signal strong demand.

  • Adding to positions during strength builds exposure to leaders.

  • Let the stock prove itself before committing full capital.

FRI 4/10: FHI – CALLING A 2ND SELL SIGNAL @ $55.27 -2.2%

James F. Taulman BB - SIDEBAR, FHI, PERFORMANCE, ST - CHART UPDATES, ST PERFORMANCE

3:58 PM – Shares are now clearly breaking below the 50 DMA. That is a technical violation and a clear SELL SIGNAL under our rules.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Respect the 50 DMA Break

  • The 50 DMA is a key level for intermediate-term trend support.

  • A decisive break below this line signals increasing downside risk.

  • Scaling out early helps manage risk before weakness accelerates.

THU 4/9: BCAL – BUYING (1/3) @ $18.59

James F. Taulman BB - SIDEBAR, BCAL, JTPP

3:33 PM – Adding another bank name here as shares of BCAL are trading higher from the 50 DMA this afternoon with a strong +87% increase in volume. That type of move signals institutional demand. The stock is also beginning to break out of a downtrend, which adds to the bullish case.

James’ Trader’s Tip: Volume + Trend Change = Opportunity

  • Moves off the 50 DMA often signal institutional support.

  • Heavy volume confirms the move is driven by real demand.

  • Early entries during a trend change can offer strong upside potential.

THU 4/9: OOMA – CALLING A 3RD SELL SIGNAL @ $13.86 -0.72%

James F. Taulman BB - SIDEBAR, OOMA, PERFORMANCE, ST - CHART UPDATES, ST PERFORMANCE

12:40 PM – After closing just slightly below its 10 DMA yesterday, shares continue to slide today and are now breaking below ROUND-$14 support. That combination confirms ongoing weakness and triggers a clear FINAL SELL SIGNAL.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Follow Through Confirms the Signal

  • A close below the 10 DMA followed by continued downside confirms momentum loss.

  • Breaks of round-number support levels add to selling pressure.

  • Final exits protect capital when weakness continues without recovery.

MON 4/6: BY – BUYING (1/3) @ $32.21

James F. Taulman BB - SIDEBAR, BY, JTPP

3:37 PM – Picking up a 1/3 position in one of the two stocks that triggered a BUY SIGNAL this afternoon. The other was UVSP, which I’m essentially calling its twin as both are setting up nearly identically.

The market was a bit calmer today, but remains very news-sensitive.

I’m treading lighter here for the time being and staying selective.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Stay Selective in Volatile Markets

  • When markets are news-driven, position sizing becomes critical.

  • Focus only on the best setups with strong technical alignment.

  • Trading lighter helps manage risk while still participating in opportunity.

MON 4/6: BY – CALLING A BUY SIGNAL (1/3) @ $32.18

James F. Taulman BB - SIDEBAR, BY, ST - CHART UPDATES

3:32 PM – This stock is making solid gains from its 50 DMA support and is now moving above ROUND-$32 resistance, closing near session highs as volume runs slightly above normal. That combination signals a technical BUY SIGNAL.

On a slightly longer-term basis, shares have been trending higher since mid-March, maintaining solid ranks with steady-to-improving fundamentals. The group also appears to be emerging.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Build Positions in Emerging Leaders

  • Moves off the 50 DMA often signal institutional support.

  • Breakouts above resistance with strong closes show conviction.

  • Stocks in emerging industry groups can provide sustained upside as leadership rotates.

MON 4/6: UVSP – CALLING A BUY SIGNAL (1/3) @ $35.28

James F. Taulman BB - SIDEBAR, ST - CHART UPDATES, UVSP

3:32 PM – Calling a BUY SIGNAL based on multiple bullish technical signals. Shares posted a solid up day from the 10 DMA, broke above ROUND-$35 resistance, and closed at session highs with volume running +21% above normal.

This is backed by a company with a solid fundamental history and is highly ranked by professional institutions. The group also appears to be emerging.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Stack the Signals

  • The best setups combine price, volume, and support levels all aligning.

  • Breakouts above resistance with strong closes show conviction.

  • When fundamentals and technicals align, probabilities improve significantly.

WED 4/1: AUPH – BUYING (1/3) @ $15.24

James F. Taulman AUPH, BB - SIDEBAR, JTPP

9:57 AM – Starting a 1/3 position here as the stock is breaking out of a downtrend on more than twice normal volume. That type of volume surge signals strong demand and a potential shift in trend. This is now my only holding.

James’ Trader’s Tip: Volume Drives Trend Changes

  • Breakouts from downtrends require strong volume to be valid.

  • Heavy volume signals institutional buying, not just short covering.

  • Concentrating capital into strength can improve focus and performance.

MON 3/30: NVT – CALLING A 3RD SELL SIGNAL @ $112.92 -1.7%

James F. Taulman BB - SIDEBAR, NVT, PERFORMANCE, TDBO, TDBO PERFORMANCE

10:48 AM – Shares are being turned back from the 10 DMA and are now breaking below the 50 DMA. That combination signals clear technical deterioration, especially as the broader market environment continues to weaken. Calling a 3RD and FINAL SELL SIGNAL here.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Multiple Violations = Exit

  • A turnback from the 10 DMA signals failed momentum.

  • A break below the 50 DMA confirms a shift in the intermediate trend.

  • When both occur together, it’s a high-probability signal to exit and protect capital.

MON 3/30: LGND – SELLING (ALL) P/L: -$987.47 -9.8%

James F. Taulman BB - SIDEBAR, JTPP, JTPP PERFORMANCE, LGDN, PERFORMANCE

9:38 AM – Selling the entire LGND position here this morning as the stock has clearly broken below its 50 DMA. That violation signals a breakdown in the intermediate trend and warrants a full exit to protect capital.

James’ Trader’s Tip: Respect the 50 DMA Breakdown

  • The 50 DMA is a key line for institutional support.

  • Breaks below this level often lead to further downside pressure.

  • Exiting decisively helps prevent losses from compounding.
