TUE 9/30: GILD – CALLING A 2ND SELL SIGNAL @ $112.00 -3.2%

3:27 PM – This trade showed strength on the initial entry but has since rolled over and is struggling to regain momentum. Calling a 2nd SELL SIGNAL here and lightening up another 1/3 into today’s close.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Cut Weakness Early

  • Don’t let laggards drain capital.

  • Freeing up cash gives you flexibility to add to stronger positions.

  • A quick exit can protect both confidence and performance.

MON 9/15: SELLING: GILD (ALL) P/L: -$321.88 -3.2%

10:42 AM – I’m getting all out of GILD here on the 1st SELL SIGNAL. While support was found at the upward trendline, shares have broken below the 50 DMA, which is a standard SELL SIGNAL in our system.

Part of my decision is also portfolio management — I generally see better overall gains when holding fewer positions.

If GILD breaks below this trendline support, that would trigger a 2nd and possibly a FINAL SELL SIGNAL.

For now, I’m rotating this capital into possibly stronger opportunities.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Fewer, Stronger Positions

  • Holding too many stocks can dilute performance.

  • Fewer, higher-conviction trades usually lead to stronger portfolio gains.

  • Don’t be afraid to free up capital and rotate into setups with better technicals.
