WED 3/11: RBC – CALLING A 3RD SELL SIGNAL @ $553.61 +2.3%

10:00 AM – Calling a 3rd and FINAL SELL SIGNAL here this morning as the stock is being turned back from its 10 DMA and that line is rolling over. When a stock repeatedly fails to reclaim the 10 DMA and the line begins sloping downward, it signals weakening momentum and a developing downtrend.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: When the 10 DMA Turns Into Resistance

  • The 10 DMA often shifts from support to resistance when momentum fades.

  • Repeated failures at that line signal institutional distribution.

  • Final exits during this transition protect gains before weakness accelerates.

3/6 FRI: RBC – CALLING A 2ND SELL SIGNAL @ $547.82 +1.3%

3:16 PM – Shares gapped down today to new recent lows, signaling increasing selling pressure. The stock is beginning to develop a clear downtrend as momentum fades. Calling a 2ND SELL SIGNAL here to continue scaling back exposure.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Downtrends Develop in Stages

  • Gap downs often signal urgency from sellers, not normal volatility.

  • When a stock begins making new lows, the trend is shifting.

  • Scaling out in stages protects gains while the chart deteriorates.

FRI 3/6: RBC – SELLING 1/3 @ $547.82 -3.4%

9:56 AM – Selling a 1/3 position today as the stock has clearly lost support at the 10 DMA. When a stock breaks this key short-term momentum line, it signals weakening technical character and warrants a SELL SIGNAL.

James’ Trader’s Tip: Respect the 10 DMA

  • The 10 DMA is the heartbeat of short-term momentum.

  • When price breaks below this level, leadership is often fading.

  • Acting quickly on this rule helps protect gains and limit downside risk.

THU 2/26: RBC – BUYING/ADDING TO (1/3) @ $570.83

1:35 PM – Shares of RBC made a morning dip to their 10 DMA, found support, and are now breaking out of a very short-term range on above-average volume. By now you know, I like those types of moves off the 10 DMA. That is constructive price action. I consider this a bullish signal and therefore a BUY/ADD. I am picking up my second 1/3 position here. The stock carries strong overall ranks, and the company has a solid fundamental history, with annual earnings growing steadily since 2021.

NEW BUYS: 
2/23 (1/3) @ $563.51
2/26 (1/3) @ $570.83

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

  • The 10 DMA is the heartbeat of our trading system.

  • When a stock dips to that line, holds, and then advances on expanding volume, institutions are likely stepping in.

  • Buying near the 10 DMA keeps risk tight and aligns you with short-term momentum before a breakout becomes extended.

MON 2/23: RBC – BUYING (1/3) @ $563.51

3:50 PM – Jumping back into RBC today. After the sharp earnings-driven advance, the stock consolidated, allowing the 10 DMA to catch up and “get in line,” as I like to say. This afternoon, shares are advancing from the 10 DMA on a +23% increase in daily volume. That is always my BUY SIGNAL for these very highly ranked stocks with solid fundamentals.

MY NEW BUYS:
2/23 (1/3) @ $563.51

MY PREVIOUS BUYS:
2/4 (2/3) @ $520.25

MY PREVIOUS SELLS:
2/9 (ALL) +$603.30 +5.8%

James’ Trader’s Tip: Let the 10 DMA Reset Before Re-Entry

• Strong stocks often pause to let the 10 DMA catch up.

• Advances from the 10 DMA on rising volume signal renewed demand.

• Consolidation after earnings is healthy — if support holds.

• Re-entering strength requires discipline, not attachment.

That combination — strength from defined support with expanding participation — is always a BUY SIGNAL for very highly ranked stocks with solid fundamentals.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: The 10 DMA Is the Trigger Line

• Strong stocks often pause to let the 10 DMA realign beneath price.

• Advances from the 10 DMA on rising volume confirm renewed institutional demand.

• Consolidation after earnings is healthy if support holds.

• Following rules consistently is what separates traders from guessers.

MON 2/9: RBC – SELLING (ALL) P/L: +$603.30 +5.8%

10:36 AM – Shares have rallied into what could become ROUND-$550 resistance following the post-earnings move. With a solid gain in hand and price now stalling at a clear technical level, I’m selling the entire position and locking in profits from this quick earnings trade.

MY BUYS:
2/4 (2/3) @ $520.25

MY SELLS:
2/9 (ALL) +$603.30 +5.8%

James Trader’s Tip: Take Profits Into Resistance

 • Earnings-driven rallies often move fast but can stall just as quickly.

 • Selling into clear resistance removes uncertainty and protects gains.

 • Locking in profits is part of disciplined execution — not a sign of weakness.

 • Capital freed from winners can be redeployed into stronger technical setups.

WED 2/4: RBC – BUYING (2/3) @ $520.25

3:52 PM – I’ve been watching this stock closely for some time and am taking a shot here ahead of earnings, which is inherently risky. That said, the stock carries near-top overall ranks and the company is supported by solid fundamentals, justifying a 2/3 position with heightened awareness around event risk. Of note – industry rival, Timken (TRK) just reported, and the stock broke out nicely.

BUY SIGNALS:
2/4 (2/3) @ $520.25

James’ Trader’s Tip: Buying Ahead of Earnings is Very Risky

  • Buying ahead of earnings raises volatility and uncertainty.

  • Strong ranks and fundamentals can justify participation.

  • When taking calculated risk, stay alert, flexible, and rule-driven.

WED 2/4: RBC – CALLING A BUY SIGNAL (2/3) @ $520.25

3:52 PM – This stock is flashing a technical BUY SIGNAL – by default – as shares are pushing higher from the 10 DMA and into new highs, where no meaningful resistance remains overhead.

The key caveat is that the company is scheduled to report Q3 earnings tomorrow morning, which introduces elevated event risk. That said, the stock carries near-top overall ranks and is supported by solid fundamentals, justifying a 2/3 tracking position with heightened awareness. Of note, industry peer Timken (TRK) just reported and broke out strongly, lending additional context to the group action.

BUY SIGNALS:
2/4 (2/3) @ $520.25

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Clean Breakouts Still Require Respect for Risk

  • Breakouts to new highs with no overhead resistance are technically sound.

  • Earnings introduce binary risk, regardless of chart quality.

  • Fundamentals and ranks must support the setup.
