WED 8/26: OII – CALLING A 2ND SELL SIGNAL @ $49.31 +22.2%

3:35 PM – Calling a 2ND SELL SIGNAL here before the close as shares continue to deteriorate technically. After recently breaking below the 10 DMA, the stock is now falling below our previously noted support at the ROUND-$50 level. That represents another technical violation under our rules.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: One Violation Can Lead to the Next

  • Losing the 10 DMA is often the first indication that short-term momentum is weakening.

  • A subsequent break of another identified support level confirms that the weakness is continuing.

  • Scaling out as technical violations accumulate allows you to systematically protect a substantial winner like this +22.2% gain.

TUE 7/28: OII – CALLING A 1ST SELL SIGNAL @ $49.55 +22.8%

10:14 AM – Calling a 1ST SELL SIGNAL this morning as shares sell off sharply on a massive 185% increase in volume. The heavy-volume decline signals strong institutional selling pressure and represents a clear change in the stock’s recent technical character.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Heavy Selling Volume Demands Respect

  • A sharp decline on unusually high volume often signals institutional distribution.

  • The greater the volume increase, the more significant the technical warning becomes.

  • Protecting a strong gain begins with responding when a stock’s price-and-volume action changes materially.

James’ Trader’s Tip: Don’t Be Afraid to Take a Good Profit

  • You don’t have to capture every last dollar of a move to be a successful trader.

  • Consistently taking solid gains helps build long-term portfolio performance while reducing risk.

  • Good trades are measured by disciplined execution—not by selling at the exact top.

James’ Trader’s Tip: Add When the Stock Confirms Strength

  • An advance from the 10 DMA shows that short-term support is holding.

  • Increased volume adds confirmation that buyers are supporting the move.

  • Scaling in by thirds allows the stock to earn additional capital through continued bullish action.

MON 6/29: OII – BUYING (1/3) @ $40.42

10:01 PM – Starting a position in this oil-related stock as it breaks above ROUND-$40 and moves to new multi-year highs on above-average volume. That combination of price strength, volume support, and sector momentum qualifies as a technical BUY SIGNAL.

James’ Trader’s Tip: Long-Term Breakouts Matter

  • Multi-year highs often represent the completion of long-term bases.

  • The longer a stock consolidates, the more meaningful the eventual breakout can become.

  • Volume helps confirm that institutions are participating in the move.
