MON 2/23: RBC – CALLING A 2ND BUY SIGNAL (1/3) @ $561.67

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

1:24 PM – Calling another BUY SIGNAL here for our Swing Traders who follow the rules. After the sharp earnings-driven advance, the stock consolidated, allowing the 10 DMA to catch up and “get in line.” This afternoon, shares are advancing from the 10 DMA on a +23% increase in daily volume. That combination — strength from defined support with expanding participation — is always a BUY SIGNAL for very highly ranked stocks with solid fundamentals.

BUY SIGNALS:
2/4 (2/3) @ $520.25
2/23 (1/3) @ $561.67

NEW COST BASIS: $540.96

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.

FRI 2/20: EZPW – CALLING A BUY SIGNAL (1/3) @ $25.30

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

3:35 PM – This is another one of our typical Swing Trade setups, as shares have consistently found support at the 10 DMA, showing that price is respecting that key line. The company carries solid fundamentals and strong overall ranks, although the group rank admittedly lags. Today’s advance from the 10 DMA, accompanied by a +48% increase in volume, qualifies as our standard BUY SIGNAL.

BUY SIGNALS:
2/20 (1/3) @ $25.30

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Respect Repeated 10 DMA Support

• Consistent support at the 10 DMA signals institutional sponsorship.

• Volume expansion confirms the bounce is not random.

• Defined support allows for structured risk management.

• Strong technical behavior can outweigh a merely average group ranking.

FRI 2/20: POR – CALLING A BUY SIGNAL (1/3) @ $52.30

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

3:35 PM – Shares are advancing from the 10 DMA this afternoon and are tracking toward a close near session highs. The chart shows a steady uptrend developing from the lows reached late last year. The company announced earnings earlier this week, and while volatility followed — as expected — price recovered quickly. That type of recovery is constructive and often signals underlying demand. Today’s action reflects continued bullish sentiment, and the advance from near the 10 DMA provides a proper entry point.

BUY SIGNALS:
2/20 (1/3) @ $52.30

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Watch How Stocks Recover from Volatility

• Post-earnings volatility is normal — quick recoveries are bullish.

• Advances from the 10 DMA offer defined risk levels.

• Closing near session highs signals buyer control.

• Proper entries come from structure, not emotion.

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

3:35 PM – This marks the second consecutive day of above-average volume as shares advance from the 50 DMA. This afternoon, price has reclaimed the 10 DMA and is now trading with limited overhead supply in the way of further potential gains. While the company may only carry decent overall ranks and fundamentals, the technical action is clearly flashing a BUY SIGNAL.

BUY SIGNALS:
2/20 (1/3) @ $685.87

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Let Technicals Lead When They Improve

• Consecutive above-average volume advances signal accumulation.

• Reclaiming the 10 DMA after defending the 50 DMA strengthens structure.

• Limited overhead supply increases upside probability.

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

3:35 PM – Shares are advancing from the 10 DMA to near all-time highs on a +42% increase in volume.

The company maintains solid fundamentals and carries very high overall ranks, although the group rank does lag somewhat.

BUY SIGNALS:
2/20 (1/3) @ $55.73

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Volume Expansion from the 10 DMA Signals Demand

• Advances from the 10 DMA confirm institutional support.

• Expanding volume validates breakout attempts.

• Strong overall ranks improve probability — even if the group lags slightly.

• Controlled starter positions allow flexibility as the trade develops.

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

10:15 AM – Decent breakout action this morning as shares advance from the 10 DMA, clear the ROUND-$25 level, and push into new multi-year highs. That type of price expansion from defined support qualifies as a BUY SIGNAL. The company carries decent overall ranks and fundamentals, and today’s technical action stands out.

NOTE: I personally attempted to buy this stock throughout the day, but my broker (E*TRADE) displayed a notice preventing me from opening a position. The signal, however, remains valid.

BUY SIGNALS:
2/20 (1/3) @ $25.43

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Breakouts Through Round Numbers Matter

• Advances from the 10 DMA provide structure and defined risk.

• Clearing round-number resistance often accelerates momentum.

• Technical confirmation takes priority over perfection.

3:50 PM – Shares are now clearly in a downtrend as the 10 DMA rolls over. There is no meaningful support until the 50 DMA, which sits roughly -8% below current levels. With momentum deteriorating and risk expanding, I’m capturing gains here and trimming another 1/3 at +24.5%.

3:50 PM – Shares continue to get turned back from the 10 DMA as that line rolls over, signaling weakening short-term momentum. Repeated rejections at the 10 DMA are bearish technical signals that warrant attention. Trimming another 1/3 here and locking in a +3.7% gain.

OVERALL P/L (ON SOLD SHARES): +4.2%

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Respect Repeated 10 DMA Rejections

• When price repeatedly fails at the 10 DMA, momentum is shifting.

• A rolling-over 10 DMA often precedes deeper pullbacks.

• Trimming early keeps small gains from evaporating.

• Manage weakness before it manages you.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: When Trend and Momentum Align Bearishly, Exit

• Downtrends develop from lower highs and failed rallies.

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

9:53 AM – Shares gapped down below the 10 DMA this morning on increased volume — a clear technical violation. A gap below short-term support combined with expanding volume signals institutional distribution. Calling a FINAL SELL SIGNAL here and booking a solid winner. This is Swing Trading.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Respect Gap-Down Violations

• Increased volume confirms real selling pressure.

• Scaling out systematically protects gains before momentum fully reverses.

TUE 2/17: CMC – CALLING A 1ST SELL SIGNAL @ $78.24 +4.6%

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

9:53 AM – After Friday’s sharp dip, shares remain below the 10 DMA, and that line is now starting to roll over. In addition, the stock is facing resistance at the ROUND-$80 level. That combination — weakening short-term momentum, nearby overhead resistance, and continued softness in the broader market — supports a prudent trim here of 1/3 at +4.6%.

SELL SIGNALS:
2/17 (1/3) @ $78.24 +4.6%

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Trim When Momentum Shifts

• When price remains below the 10 DMA and that line rolls over, short-term momentum has shifted.

• Nearby round-number resistance often limits upside follow-through.

• Partial profit-taking reduces exposure while allowing flexibility.

• Discipline is about reacting early — not late.

SELL SIGNALS:
2/12 (1/3) @ $23.28 –5.1%

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Intermediate Support Matters

• A break below the 50 DMA signals technical deterioration.

• Intermediate support failures often lead to additional downside pressure.

• Acting early keeps losses manageable and preserves capital.

• Discipline protects the account — hesitation increases damage.

3:42 PM – Shares gap up on strong earnings this afternoon. With the stock extended following the earnings-driven move, I’m calling a 1st SELL SIGNAL to bank partial profits. Earnings reactions are often volatile, and scaling out into strength reduces risk while preserving upside participation.

SELL SIGNALS:

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Take Partial Profits Into Earnings Strength

 • Earnings gaps can extend quickly but often retrace just as fast.

 • Scaling out by 1/3rds allows you to lock in gains while staying involved.

 • Selling strength is proactive risk management.

 • Consistency comes from executing rules — not predicting outcomes.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Scale Out After Extended Moves

 • Below-average volume on continued gains can signal waning momentum.

 • Selling in stages protects profits while allowing room for further upside.

 • Consistent scaling builds long-term performance stability.

With a sharp earnings-driven move extended at the open, I’m calling a 1st SELL SIGNAL to bank 1/3 of profits this morning. Earnings moves are often volatile, and locking in gains into strength is disciplined execution.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Sell Strength Into Earnings Gaps

 • You don’t have to sell everything — scale out methodically.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Exit Trades That Lose Their Character

• Swing trades must act like swing trades — higher highs, momentum, and support.

• Persistent failure at the 10 DMA signals a loss of momentum.

• Multiple sell signals confirm trend deterioration, not noise.

• Discipline means exiting when the trade no longer matches the setup — even near breakeven.

BUY SIGNALS:

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Breakouts With Volume Confirmation

• Breakouts to new highs are most reliable when confirmed by above-average volume.

• Strong volume signals institutional participation, not retail noise.

• Entering with a 1/3 position keeps risk controlled while allowing room to add if strength persists.

• Discipline means letting price and volume — not opinions — dictate action.

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.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Add When Strength Confirms Itself

  • Advances from the 10 DMA signal short-term control.

  • Rising volume confirms institutional participation, not random movement.

  • Adding near highs is acceptable when resistance is minimal and momentum is intact.

THU 1/29: BMO – CALLING A 2ND BUY SIGNAL (1/3) @ $140.62

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

3:46 PM – Calling a 2ND BUY SIGNAL as shares are advancing from their 10 DMA and breaking decisively above the ROUND-$140 level. Volume is running at roughly three times the normal rate, confirming strong institutional demand as the stock continues to trend to new all-time highs. This bullish technical action is reinforced by very high overall ranks and a leading industry group.

NEW COST BASIS: $135.88

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Strength Plus Volume Is the Combination That Matters

  • Moves up from the 10 DMA establish momentum.

  • Breakouts through round-number resistance attract fresh demand.

  • When price, volume, and rank align, adding exposure is justified — not forced.

WED 1/28: FSS – CALLING A FINAL SELL SIGNAL @ $108.98 -16.4%

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

3:52 PM – The stock never recovered from its earnings sell-off, and downside momentum has remained persistent. While earnings trades can offer outsized upside, they also carry elevated risk and sharp short-term volatility. With no meaningful technical repair taking place, I’m calling a FINAL SELL SIGNAL and closing out coverage.

SELL SIGNALS:
11/4 (1/3) @ $113.62 –12.9%

OVERALL P/L: –14.6%

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Earnings Risk Cuts Both Ways

  • Earnings events can accelerate gains or losses quickly.

  • When post-earnings damage isn’t repaired, patience turns into risk.

  • Exiting decisively on failed earnings trades prevents small losses from compounding into larger ones.

FRI 1/23: SHC – CALLING A FINAL SELL SIGNAL @ $18.55 +10.5%

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

3:48 PM – Shares are clearly running into resistance at the 10 DMA and are being turned back today. A turnback from the 10 DMA is a technical SELL SIGNAL, and that rule is applied here. Calling a FINAL SELL SIGNAL and closing out the trade.

SELL SIGNALS:

OVERALL P/L: +3.8%

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Respect the Turnback

  • The 10 DMA defines short-term control.

  • Rallies that fail at that line signal momentum exhaustion.

  • Finishing the trade on a clear rule keeps gains realized, not theoretical.

WED 1/21: UGI – CALLING A BUY SIGNAL (1/3) @ $37.91

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

3:24 PM – Shares are breaking out of a short-term downtrend that began after the late-November highs near $40.00. While volume today is tracking near normal levels, it has expanded meaningfully compared to the past several sessions, signaling improving participation. There is noted resistance near $39.00, which will be an important level to monitor as price approaches that next technical hurdle.

BUY SIGNALS:
1/21 (1/3) @ $37.91

The annotations on the chart below highlight a well-executed prior TrendLine BreakOuts trade that followed ULTRA rules precisely — both on the way up and on the way out.

  • The initial BUY SIGNAL was triggered as UGI emerged from its base and reclaimed key moving averages, positioning the trade early in the move.

  • As price advanced and became extended, partial SELL SIGNALS were executed methodically, locking in gains while momentum was still favorable.

  • The FINAL SELL SIGNAL occurred as price action began to deteriorate and upside momentum faded, closing out the position near strength rather than waiting for damage.

That sequence produced a clean, profitable swing trade, and — just as importantly — capital was not forced back into the stock once the move ended.

CLICK/TAP CHART TO ZOOM
Chart services courtesy of stockcharts.com. Annotations by James Taulman.

Following the final exit, UGI entered a period of technical repair:

  • Price moved into a downward consolidation, working below short-term trendlines.

  • The 10 DMA rolled over, and rallies failed to regain momentum.

  • These conditions did not justify re-entry, even though the prior trade was a winner.

This restraint is critical.

ULTRA does not recycle capital into former winners simply because they worked before. Re-entries are earned only when:

  • A downtrend is broken

  • Momentum begins to reassert itself

  • Risk can once again be clearly defined

The current 1/21 BUY SIGNAL reflects that shift. The stock has now broken its short-term downtrend, participation has improved, and price behavior is once again actionable. This is not a chase — it is a technically warranted re-engagement.

Key takeaway:
Strong performance is not just about catching winners — it’s about knowing when to step aside and when conditions truly justify coming back in.

WED 1/21: PGNY – CALLING A 2ND SELL SIGNAL @ 25.37 -3.4%

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

3:23 PM – The 50 DMA is now acting as firm resistance as the 10 DMA has clearly rolled over, confirming continued technical deterioration. Calling a 2ND SELL SIGNAL here. The next meaningful support sits near the ROUND-$25 level; a decisive break below that would trigger the FINAL SELL SIGNAL.

SELL SIGNALS:
1/15 (1/3) @ $25.28 –3.8%
1/21 (1/3) @ $25.37 –3.4%

OVERALL P/L: –3.6%

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: When Support Becomes Resistance, Risk Escalates

  • Former support acting as resistance signals a change in character.

  • A rolling over short-term average confirms momentum deterioration.

  • When structure weakens, scaling out protects capital before losses accelerate.

  • Let price structure, not hope, dictate position management.

10:34 AM – After a tough session yesterday along with the broader market, shares are advancing from their 10 DMA today with an increase in volume, signaling renewed short-term momentum. That action qualifies as a BUY SIGNAL. A break back below the 10 DMA at $96.30 would be a SELL SIGNAL.

BUY SIGNALS:
1/21 (1/3) @ $98.64

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Define Risk at Entry

  • The 10 DMA is both the entry trigger and the risk line.

  • Buying strength from support works best when the exit rule is clear in advance.

  • Well-defined risk allows you to act decisively without hesitation.

BUY SIGNALS:

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Relative Strength Leads

  • Stocks that rise when the market is weak often lead on the next advance.

  • Follow-through from the 10 DMA confirms momentum, not just a one-day move.

  • Volume-backed gains from support are where high-probability entries live.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Exit When the Thesis Breaks

  • When a stock breaks the 10 DMA after failing to gain traction, the setup is no longer valid.

  • There is no benefit in waiting for confirmation once the rule is broken.

  • Exiting quickly on small losses keeps capital available for higher-probability opportunities.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Finish Trades When Momentum Fades

  • When price turns lower after repeated resistance, the message is clear.

  • Strong swing trading is about closing winners cleanly, not squeezing the last tick.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Volume on Weakness Matters

  • Rising volume while price fails under the 10 DMA confirms distribution, not support.

  • When resistance keeps winning, it’s time to finish the trade, not negotiate with it.

  • Strong performance is built by locking in gains and reallocating capital, not overstaying.

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

10:01 AM – The stock never recovered from the sharp, single-session earnings sell-off.

As seen on the chart below, on 12/8 the 10 DMA came into play, while the 200 DMA coming into play more recently.

Over the past several sessions, gains stalled at the 10 DMA, confirming a loss of momentum. Today’s decisive break below the 200 DMA represents another technical violation and triggers the FINAL SELL SIGNAL.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Respect Technical Violations

  • Large earnings gaps often change a stock’s character for an extended period.

  • When the 10 DMA becomes firm resistance, gain into should be sold, not trusted.

  • A 200 DMA break after prolonged weakness is rarely the place to be patient — capital is better redeployed into cleaner technical setups.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Final Signals End the Risk

    • Final SELL SIGNALS remove emotional decision-making during periods of sustained weakness.

    • Protecting capital on failed trades is what allows you to stay aggressive when strength returns.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Respect ROUND-$ Support Breaks

    • A sharp break below a ROUND-$ level signals a shift in supply–demand dynamics.

    • Taking profits after a decisive support failure protects gains before momentum reverses.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Early Signals Matter

    • Lower highs followed by a break of the 10 DMA often mark the first shift in momentum.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Manage Risk as Momentum Shifts

    • Losing the 10 DMA on volume often signals a change in short-term character.

    • A series of lower highs is an early warning that sellers are gaining control.

    • Scaling out as momentum weakens protects gains and reduces downside exposure.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Final Exits Protect Capital

10:04 AM – Stock is clearly getting turned back from its 10 DMA with an increase in volume. As shown in the chart below, initial breaks of the 10 DMA are usually 1st SELL SIGNALS, followed by a move back up to the 10 DMA and a “turn back,” which becomes a 2nd SELL SIGNAL.

SELL SIGNALS:
12/10 (1/3) @ $57.95 –1.5%
12/12 (1/3) @ $56.33 –4.3%

OVERALL P/L: (–2.9%)

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Respect the Turnback at the 10 DMA

    • A stock failing at the 10 DMA after breaking below it confirms a momentum shift.

    • Turnbacks often precede deeper weakness as sellers maintain control.

    • Removing capital from weakening setups keeps the portfolio aligned with strength.

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

3:48 PM – Stock has been struggling to recover from a sharp earnings sell-off. After developing an uptrend from support at the 200 DMA, it pulled back sharply today from a price area of resistance with an increase in volume. Too much bearish technical action.

SELL SIGNALS:
10/10 (1/3) @ $19.57 –7.4%

12/11 (FINAL 1/3) @ $17.50 –17.2%

OVERALL P/L:  –10.2%

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Weak Stocks Cost You Twice

    • A stock that cannot recover from an earnings sell-off often signals fading institutional support.

    • Repeated failures at resistance confirm the absence of demand and increase risk.

    • Exiting laggards frees capital for stronger setups where momentum is truly building.

OVERALL P/L: -6.5%

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Respect Downtrends and Weak Relative Strength

    • When a stock underperforms during market strength, it reveals a lack of institutional demand.

    • Downtrends combined with moving-average violations signal technical deterioration that should not be ignored.

    • Freeing up capital from laggards keeps your portfolio focused on stronger, higher-probability opportunities.

SELL SIGNALS:
12/9 (1/3) @ $163.42 +8.4%

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Take Profits Into Strength

  • When a stock becomes extended from the 10 DMA, upside often slows while risk increases.

  • Taking profits into strength preserves gains while keeping you in control of your capital.

  • Profit-taking is not weakness — it’s disciplined risk management that compounds over time.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: The 50 DMA Is a Line of Defense

  • When a stock loses its 50 DMA, it signals a deeper break in character — institutions are no longer defending support.

  • A failure to hold this level often leads to accelerated selling as momentum shifts decisively lower.

  • Protecting capital at the 50 DMA keeps you out of weakening trends and frees you to rotate into stronger, higher-probability opportunities.

SELL SIGNAL:

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Heavy Volume Confirms the Message

  • When a stock loses major support on a volume surge, institutions are unloading.

  • Sharp breaks of the 50 DMA often signal a deeper change in character.

  • Exiting quickly keeps losses contained and capital ready for stronger opportunities.

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

3:53 PM – The stock got turned back from its 10 DMA today. Others in the group are acting well, but ECO continues to lose short-term momentum. The call may be a bit early, but the chart is signaling weakness.

  • When group peers act stronger, the laggard usually continues to fade.

  • Following the chart—rather than hoping—keeps your capital working efficiently.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Respect Momentum Shifts

  • Exiting early keeps you ahead of deeper tests like the 50 DMA.

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

FRI 11/21: ECO – CALLING A 1ST SELL SIGNAL @ $36.34 -3.1%

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

10:07 AM – Shares are breaking below the 10 DMA this morning with an increase in volume. That combination signals weakening short-term momentum, so I’m calling a 1st (1/3) SELL SIGNAL here.

SELL SIGNAL:
11/21 @ $36.34 –3.1%

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: The First Break Matters

  • The first break below the 10 DMA often marks a shift in short-term control.

  • When the break comes with rising volume, it signals institutional selling rather than noise.

  • Taking the initial 1/3 off reduces risk while keeping you in the trade if the stock stabilizes.

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

11/21 @ $287.63 –6.5%

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Volume Confirms the Move

  • Heavy volume on a decline signals strong institutional selling.

  • When support breaks on above-average volume, the trend change is rarely a false move.

  • Always take note when price and volume align — that’s the market speaking clearly.

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

3:51 PM – Shares were turned back from the 10 DMA today as the broader market continues to weaken. The stock continues to show technical deterioration, failing to regain short-term momentum and breaking character relative to stronger names. Reducing exposure and calling a FINAL SELL SIGNAL here.

10/29 @ $232.67 –1.5%
11/3 @ $228.13 –3.4%
11/20 @ $227.48 –3.7%

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Respect the 10 DMA

THU 11/20: GE – CALLING A 1ST SELL SIGNAL @ $292.23 -5.0%

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

3:51 PM – Shares have clearly lost their 50 DMA support and are now closing at a new short-term low. This break in character signals weakening momentum, so I’m calling a 1st SELL SIGNAL here.

SELL SIGNAL:
11/20 @ $292.23 –5.0%

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Respect the 50 DMA

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

  • A decisive break below it often confirms a shift in trend.

  • When a stock loses this line, momentum is usually fading faster than it appears.

SELL SIGNAL:
11/20 @ $189.13 –6.3%

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Two Breaks = Strong Warning

  • A rejection at the 10 DMA signals fading momentum.

  • A close below the 50 DMA confirms deeper technical deterioration.

  • When both happen together, reducing exposure is the disciplined move.

THU 11/20: MDB – CALLING A 2ND SELL SIGNAL @ $327.50 -1.5%

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

3:51 PM – MDB was turned back from its 10 DMA today and went on to close below its 50 DMA, signaling clear technical deterioration. Under ULTRA rules, that combination triggers a 2nd SELL SIGNAL here as momentum continues to weaken.

SELL SIGNALS:
10/13 @ $317.95 -4.4%
11/20 @ $327.50 -1.5%

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Respect the 10 DMA

  • When a stock gets rejected at its 10 DMA, it’s often a sign buyers are losing control.

  • Combine that with a close below the 50 DMA, and you have a meaningful break in character.

  • Selling into weakness protects capital and avoids deeper drawdowns.

THU 11/20: ETR – CALLING A FINAL SELL SIGNAL @ $93.87 +6.6%

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

3:51 PM – ETR closed below its 50 DMA support today while continuing to develop a downtrend, with the 10 DMA acting as steady resistance. That persistent weakness triggers a FINAL SELL SIGNAL here as the stock breaks character and confirms the shift in momentum.

SELL SIGNALS:
7/30 @ $89.99 +2.2%
8/18 @ $88.92 +1.0%
11/20 @ $93.87 +6.6%

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Respect the 50 DMA

  • The 50 DMA is a major institutional support line.

  • When a stock closes below the 50 DMA, it often signals a deeper change in trend.

  • Combine that with a declining 10 DMA acting as resistance, and the momentum picture turns decisively negative.

WED 11/19: OSIS – CALLING A FINAL SELL SIGNAL @ $237.61 -1.9%

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

3:54 PM – A sharp sell-off on twice the normal volume sent OSIS breaking below the key round-$250 level. That loss of major support, combined with clear technical deterioration, triggers a FINAL SELL SIGNAL here.

11/13 @ $273.08 +12.7%
11/19 @ $237.61 -1.9%

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Respect Round Numbers

  • Major round numbers like $100, $150, $200, $250 often act as natural support/resistance.

  • Institutions frequently cluster orders at these levels, making a break below them meaningful.

  • When a stock loses a round-number floor on heavy volume, it often signals a shift in control — and a trend that is turning.
