FRI 5/15: LGND – CALLING A 2ND SELL SIGNAL @ $214.23 +0.6%

3:19 PM – After recently being turned back from the 10 DMA — a bearish sign — shares are now breaking below the 50 DMA and appear likely to close near the session lows. That combination represents a clear technical violation and triggers a 2ND SELL SIGNAL.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Weak Closes Matter

  • Turnbacks from the 10 DMA often signal fading momentum.

  • Breaks below the 50 DMA confirm increasing technical weakness.

  • Stocks closing near session lows suggest sellers remained in control into the close.

WED 4/29: LGND – CALLING A 1ST SELL SIGNAL @ $226.65 +6.4%

3:32 PM – The stock is closing below the 10 DMA, and that is a standard SELL SIGNAL under our rules. This break signals a loss of short-term momentum and warrants reducing exposure.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Closing Below the 10 DMA Matters

  • A close below the 10 DMA confirms the breakdown, not just an intraday move.

  • This is often the first sign that momentum is shifting.

  • Acting early helps protect gains before weakness develops further.

TUE 3/10: LGND – BUYING (1/3) @ $213.85

10:55 AM – No matter the market environment, I continue running my routine screens looking for high-ranked stocks with solid fundamentals showing technical strength. I’m always looking to buy into strength — and when I see it, I act. This is a rule-based approach. Non-emotional. Follow the rules: sell weakness, buy strength.

James’ Trader’s Tip: Buy Strength, Not Hope

  • The best trades often come from stocks already showing relative strength.

  • High-ranked stocks with strong fundamentals attract institutional demand.

  • The system is simple: sell weakness, buy strength, and follow the rules.

WED 12/3: LGND – SELLING (ALL) P/L: -$299.64 -1.5%

10:34 AM – Shares remain under the 10 DMA as that line is now clearly rolling over. Moving capital into new buys showing technical strength.

SELL SIGNALS:
11/5 @ $190.78 –3.4%
12/3 @ $194.63 –1.5%

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Rotate Into Strength

  • When a stock loses its 10 DMA, momentum is shifting against you.

  • Freeing up capital lets you redeploy into names showing proper technical behavior.

  • Staying aligned with strength keeps your portfolio moving forward.

FRI 10/31: LGND – BUYING (2/3) @ $189.92

11:26 AM – Spotted LGND advancing from its 10 DMA during my morning screens. I’m continuously scanning for high-ranked, fundamentally sound stocks setting up in bullish technical phases, and this one fit the criteria perfectly.

Shares moved higher from the 10 DMA with a strong increase in volume, confirming fresh institutional interest. By the close Friday, volume had surged to more than twice the normal daily rate as the stock finished at a new all-time high — a powerful sign of strength and technical control.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Buying From the 10 DMA with Volume

  • The 10-day moving average is the heartbeat of short-term momentum.

  • When a stock advances from this line with conviction and strong volume, it often signals fresh institutional demand.

  • Buying near the 10 DMA keeps risk tight and rewards disciplined entries.
