WED 9/9: CNO – Breaking Below $55 – Triggering a SELL SIGNAL
10:12 AM – As reported last night, “a break below $55.00 would be a SELL SIGNAL.” This morning shares are trading below that level while volume is running above average. That drop below the ROUND-$55 support level, accompanied by increased volume, is enough to trigger our 2ND SELL SIGNAL.
ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Define the Sell Level Before It Breaks
• Identifying important support in advance gives us an objective level to act on.
• A break below ROUND-$55 shows that the previously identified support is no longer holding.
• Increased volume adds significance to the violation and reinforces the SELL SIGNAL.

TUE 9/1: BY — Called a FINAL SELL SIGNAL at +17% as Bearish Action Mounts
10:05 PM – Calling a FINAL SELL SIGNAL on Byline Bancorp as bearish technical action continues to mount. The 10 DMA has repeatedly weighed on the stock and acted as resistance, while a clear downtrend has developed from the early-August highs near $40.00. Today’s move to a new recent closing low adds another bearish sign and confirms the continued deterioration.
ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Repeated Resistance Can Define the Trend
• When a stock repeatedly fails at the 10 DMA, that line can shift from support to resistance.
• A pattern of lower prices developing from prior highs is evidence that a downtrend is taking shape.
• New recent lows add confirmation that weakness is continuing and support taking the final SELL SIGNAL.

MON 8/31: MYE – Stock is Clearly Breaking Below its 50 DMA Support
1:05 PM – Calling a 3RD and FINAL SELL SIGNAL this afternoon as shares clearly break below their 50 DMA support while volume is on pace to finish above the daily average. That is a significant technical violation and completes all three SELL SIGNALS on this selection.
With each SELL SIGNAL locking in more than a +30% gain, MYE finishes as a clear winning ULTRA swing trade.
ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Scale Out and Protect a Big Winner
• The 50 DMA is an important support level, and a decisive break below it is a major technical warning.
• Scaling out through multiple SELL SIGNALS allows us to systematically protect gains as a stock weakens.
• Completing all three SELL SIGNALS with gains above +30% shows the value of letting strength work while still respecting technical violations.

3:14 PM – Calling a 3RD and FINAL SELL SIGNAL here before the close as shares dip into their 50 DMA support after already showing several bearish technical signs. With weakness continuing to build and major support now being tested, I’m closing out this selection under our rules.
ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Multiple Weakness Signals Add Up
• One bearish sign may be manageable, but several technical violations together deserve more attention.
• A test of the 50 DMA becomes more significant when the stock has already been showing ongoing weakness.
• When bearish evidence continues to stack up, follow the rules and reduce exposure.

FRI 8/21: FTS – CALLING A 2ND/FINAL SELL SIGNAL @ $54.90 -6.8%
3:59 PM – Calling a 2ND and FINAL SELL SIGNAL just before the close as shares sell off this afternoon and break below the ROUND-$55 support level while volume runs 28% above average. The combination of continued price weakness, a loss of support, and increased selling volume confirms further technical deterioration and closes out coverage on this selection.
ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Increased Volume Confirms the Weakness
• Breaking a previously identified support level is an important technical violation.
• When that break occurs on above-average volume, it adds conviction to the bearish action.
• When price and volume confirm continued weakness, follow the signal and move on.

WED 8/19: AIT – CALLING A 2ND SELL SIGNAL @ $348.87 +4.2%
3:36 PM – Calling a 2ND SELL SIGNAL as shares break below our noted 1st SUPPORT at the ROUND-$350 level and appear set to close near the session lows. The next significant support is the 50 DMA, currently at $338.46, approximately 2.3% below the current price. A break of that level would represent another significant technical violation.
ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Support Levels Give Us a Roadmap
• Identifying support levels in advance removes guesswork when a stock begins weakening.
• When one level fails, immediately know where the next important technical support lies.
• If weakness continues and the next major support level also breaks, that provides additional evidence to reduce exposure.

WED 8/19: AFL – CALLING A FINAL SELL SIGNAL @ $119.84 -2.6%

The combination of a gap lower, loss of support, and expanding selling volume represents multiple bearish technical violations. Calling a 2ND yet FINAL SELL SIGNAL here and to close out coverage on this selection.
ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Multiple Violations Strengthen the Signal
• A gap lower immediately shows increased selling pressure.
• Breaking a previously identified support level adds another bearish technical violation.
• When weakness is accompanied by increased volume, the evidence becomes even stronger—respect the signal and move on.

9:37 AM – Calling a 1ST SELL SIGNAL this morning as shares sell off on increased volume and clearly lose support at the 10 DMA. That combination of declining price, expanding volume, and a break of our primary technical support level represents a standard SELL SIGNAL under our rules.
ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Price and Volume Should Confirm Each Other
• A break below the 10 DMA is an important technical warning.
• When that break occurs with increased selling volume, the violation carries greater significance.
• Responding to weakness early helps keep a manageable loss from developing into something larger.

TUE 8/11: MYE – CALLING A 2ND SELL SIGNAL @ $32.56 +36.3%
3:44 PM – Calling a 2ND SELL SIGNAL as we head into today’s close. The stock has clearly lost its 10 DMA (blue line) and has continued to exhibit bearish technical action with a string of down days from its recent high. With a substantial +36.3% gain still intact, the continued deterioration is another signal to take additional profits and reduce exposure.
ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Protect Big Winners as Weakness Develops
• A strong previous gain does not override current bearish technical action.
• A string of declining sessions followed by a clear 10 DMA violation signals that momentum has changed.
• Scaling out allows you to systematically protect profits as technical weakness develops rather than waiting for the entire gain to disappear.

7/30 THU: GLAD – CALLING A 2ND SELL SIGNAL @ $18.64 -7.3%
11:14 AM – Calling a 2ND SELL SIGNAL as shares continue to trade lower on above-average volume and exhibit persistent technical weakness. The continued decline, combined with elevated selling volume, indicates that downside pressure remains in control and warrants further reducing the position.
ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Respect Weakness When Selling Persists
• Continued price deterioration after an initial sell signal confirms that the stock has not stabilized.
• Above-average volume during a decline can indicate sustained institutional distribution.
• Reducing exposure as weakness progresses helps contain losses and preserve capital for stronger opportunities.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Follow Your Rules Consistently
• A break below the 10 DMA is an early warning that a stock’s momentum may be weakening.
• Consistently following predefined sell rules helps remove emotion from the decision-making process.
• Small, disciplined sells early can help protect capital if additional technical weakness develops.

3:32 PM – Shares first broke below the 10 DMA and are now violating the 50 DMA, creating too much technical deterioration to ignore. With multiple technical violations continuing to stack up, I’m calling a 1ST SELL SIGNAL here.
ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Technical Weakness Often Comes in Stages
• Technical deterioration is usually a process rather than a single event.
• Each additional technical sign of deterioration increases the probability that the stock’s trend is changing.
• Respect ongoing technical weakness. It is a SELL SIGNAL.

9:56 AM – Shares are gapping down this morning and clearly breaking below the 10 DMA. This follows a sharp Negative Reversal just a few sessions earlier and confirms further technical deterioration. Calling a 2ND SELL SIGNAL here.
ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Warning Signs Often Arrive in Sequence
• A Negative Reversal can be the first sign that momentum is changing.
• A subsequent break below the 10 DMA confirms that weakness is developing.
• Recognizing the sequence early helps protect gains before the chart deteriorates further.

THU 7/2: MGA – CALLING A FINAL SELL SIGNAL @ $62.44 -3.5%

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Respect the 50 DMA
• The 50 DMA often serves as a key dividing line between healthy uptrends and weakening charts.
• Stocks that lose this level frequently require time to repair their technical damage.
• Final SELL SIGNALS help preserve capital and prepare you for stronger opportunities ahead.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Multiple Technical Violations Increase Risk
• A break of the 10 DMA is often the first warning sign of weakening momentum.
• Losing the 50 DMA shortly afterward shows that sellers are gaining control.
• When technical support levels fail in succession, reducing exposure becomes increasingly prudent.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Heavy Volume Deserves Respect
• Sharp declines on expanding volume often reflect institutional selling.
• Heavy-volume breakdowns typically carry more significance than low-volume pullbacks.
• When price and volume confirm the same bearish message, it usually pays to follow the chart.

10:05 AM – Calling a 1ST SELL SIGNAL here to lock in some solid profits as shares begin to get extended from the 10 DMA. Taking partial profits after a strong advance is consistent with our disciplined trading approach.
ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Selling Into Strength Is a Strategy
• Taking partial profits after a strong run helps reduce risk without abandoning the trade.
• Stocks that become extended from the 10 DMA often pull back to reset.
• Scaling out allows you to protect gains while still participating if the uptrend continues.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Lower Lows Confirm Weakness

• New low closes suggest downside momentum is still building.
• Final SELL SIGNALS are designed to remove capital from stocks that are no longer acting right.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Trends Deserve Respect
• Strong stocks typically hold above their 10 DMA during sustained advances.
• Repeated breaks of support often signal a shift from accumulation to distribution.
• The goal is to capture the bulk of a move, not hold through the entire reversal.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Price Levels Matter
• Round-number levels often act as important support and resistance zones.
• When a stock decisively breaks a widely watched support level, additional selling can follow.
• The goal is not to be right on every trade, but to keep losses controlled when the chart changes character.

MON 5/11: FIVE – CALLING A 2ND SELL SIGNAL @ $209.04 -12.8%
2:44 PM – The stock is triggering a 2ND SELL SIGNAL here as it is:
(1) selling off,
(2) on an increase in volume,
(3) breaking down from a 7-month uptrend,
(4) trading below recent lows, and
(5) appears likely to close near the session lows.
These are all clear signs of technical weakness and important technical violations — especially when stacked together — which fully warrant this SELL SIGNAL call.
ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Stacked Violations Increase Risk
• One technical violation can be manageable — multiple violations are different.
• Breaks of trendlines, support, and recent lows together confirm deterioration.
• When weakness compounds, reducing exposure quickly is the disciplined move.

3:47 PM – The stock is now clearly trading below the 10 DMA and has broken ROUND-$14 support on above-average volume. These types of price/volume moves are pivotal and signal a shift in short-term momentum.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Align With the Market Environment
• Breaks below the 10 DMA on volume signal immediate weakness.
• Loss of key support levels like ROUND-$14 confirms sellers are in control.
• When the broader market weakens, individual stocks become more vulnerable — act accordingly.

TUE 3/10: POR – CALLING A 3RD SELL SIGNAL @ $52.13 -0.3%
10:15 AM – Calling a FINAL SELL SIGNAL this morning as the stock continues to lag even with the recent bump in the market.
We don’t call SELL SIGNALS arbitrarily. POR has exhibited several distinctive signs of technical weakness which are right out of our playbook.
Starting with:
-
a drop below the 10 DMA,
-
a turnback from the 10 DMA,
-
lower highs forming,
-
the 10 DMA the started rolling over,
-
declines on above-average volume,
-
and now a start of a break below an upward trendline.
That sequence confirms a developing downtrend and justifies the FINAL SELL SIGNAL.
ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Weakness Leaves Clues
• Technical deterioration usually appears as a sequence, not a single event.
• Breaks of the 10 DMA, lower highs, and turn-backs from the 10 DMA are some of our bearish signals.
• When multiple violations appear together, the prudent move is to exit.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Respect Round-Number Breaks
• Round-number levels often act as psychological support and resistance.
• When price breaks a level like $200 while also failing at the 10 DMA, momentum is shifting.
• Taking profits during rule violations keeps gains intact during volatile markets.

TUE 3/3: MOV – CALLING A 2ND SELL SIGNAL @ $24.05 -5.4%
9:51 AM – Shares are making new lows today and the 10 DMA is just beginning to roll over. That signals weakening short-term momentum and the early stages of a developing downtrend. When a stock begins losing support and fails to stabilize, risk increases quickly. Calling a 2ND SELL SIGNAL here.
BUY SIGNALS:
2/20 (1/3) @ $25.43
SELL SIGNALS:
3/2 (1/3) @ $24.34 -4.3%
3/3 (1/3) @ $24.05 -5.4%

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Downtrends Start Small
• A rolling 10 DMA is often the first sign that momentum is fading.
• New lows following a support break confirm developing technical weakness.
• Scaling out early keeps losses controlled before a downtrend accelerates.

TUE 3/3: ADI – CALLING A 3RD SELL SIGNAL @ $339.62 +22.04%
9:41 AM – Shares gapped down this morning and broke below stacked support at the 10 DMA and the round-$350 level. While the stock carries high ranks and solid fundamentals, this is swing trading, and a break of the 10 DMA is a SELL SIGNAL on our books. With gains now exceeding +22% on the final 1/3, it makes sense – rather than risk giving them back in a volatile market.
BUY SIGNALS:
12/10 (1/3) @ $278.29
SELL SIGNALS:
12/17 (1/3) @ $274.54 -1.3%
1/19 (1/3) @ $302.44 +8.7%
3/3 (1/3) @ $339.62 +22.04%
OVERALL P/L: +9.8%
ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Protect Gains When Support Breaks
• A gap below the 10 DMA signals a sudden shift in short-term momentum.
• When key support levels break together, downside pressure can accelerate quickly.
• Booking profits into rule violations protects gains before volatility erodes them.

MON 3/2: BBVA – CALLING A 2ND SELL SIGNAL @ $22.18 -9.6%
10:00 AM – The stock opened with a gap down this morning after recently being turned back from its 50 DMA. That rejection at a key intermediate resistance level was an early warning. Now the downside follow-through confirms continued technical deterioration. When a stock fails at the 50 DMA and then gaps lower, risk increases quickly. Calling a 2nd SELL SIGNAL.
BUY SIGNALS:
1/8 (1/3) @ $23.71
1/29 (1/3) @ $25.36

MON 3/2: MOV – CALLING A 1ST SELL SIGNAL @ $24.34 -4.3%
9:51 AM – Shares are breaking below the 10 DMA with little sign of institutional support. The stock has failed to show immediate upside follow-through after entry, and momentum is now deteriorating. For a swing trade, underperformance combined with a clear technical violation warrants action. Calling a 1st SELL SIGNAL here.
BUY SIGNALS:
2/20 (1/3) @ $25.43
SELL SIGNALS:
3/2 (1/3) @ $24.34 -4.3%

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Small Losses Are Strategic
• A clean break below the 10 DMA is a rule-based exit — no debate required.
• Swing trades should work quickly. If they don’t, risk must be reduced.
• Keeping losses small preserves both capital and mental clarity for the next opportunity.

FRI 2/27: MLM – CALLING A 1ST SELL SIGNAL @ $670.30 -2.3%
9:48 AM – Calling a 1st SELL SIGNAL here as shares are clearly breaking below the 10 DMA, and more importantly, the stock is underperforming for a swing trade. The sharp turn-back from round-$700 resistance on Wednesday was an early sign of technical weakness. When a stock fails at a key psychological level and then violates the 10 DMA, that’s a shift in short-term character.
BUY SIGNALS:
2/20 (1/3) @ $685.87
SELL SIGNALS:
2/27 (1/3) @ $670.30 -2.3%
OVERALL P/L: -2.3%
ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Underperformance Is a Clue
• A swing trade should show relative strength quickly. When it lags, pay attention.
• Rejection at a round-number resistance level often signals supply overhead.
• Breaking the 10 DMA after that rejection confirms momentum deterioration — act early, not late.

THU 2/26: AZN – CALLING A 2ND SELL SIGNAL @ $203.24 +7.6%
10:44 AM – Shares are breaking below the 10 DMA with a sharp increase in volume. That is a default SELL SIGNAL under our rules. Momentum is shifting, and volume confirms it. Next clear support sits near the round $200 level. A decisive break below that area would trigger the FINAL SELL SIGNAL — and still lock in a solid winner.
BUY SIGNALS:
1/13 (1/3) @ $188.94
SELL SIGNALS:
2/11 (1/3) @ $204.19 +8.1%
2/26 (1/3) @ $203.24 +7.6%

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: The 10 DMA Rules
• A break below the 10 DMA is a SELL SIGNAL — especially when volume expands.
• Increased volume signals institutional distribution, not random movement.
• Following this rule violation preserves gains and prevents a winner from turning into a problem.

THU 2/26: CAT – CALLING A FINAL SELL SIGNAL @ $733.50 +47.6%
10:31 AM – Finally calling a third and FINAL SELL SIGNAL this morning as shares are clearly breaking below the 10 DMA with an increase in volume. That violation confirms a shift in short-term momentum. After a powerful advance, we now follow the rule and lock in gains as leadership begins to weaken.
SELL SIGNALS:
10/22 (1/3) @ $514.34 +3.5%
10/29 (1/3) @ $588.27 +18.4%
2/26 (1/3) @ $733.50 +47.6%
OVERALL P/L: +23.2%
ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Sell Into Rule Violations, Not Emotion
• A break below the 10 DMA with volume is a non-negotiable SELL SIGNAL.
• Large gains mean nothing if you ignore momentum deterioration.
• Scaling out in thirds allows you to participate in major moves — while still exiting with discipline when character changes.

TUE 2/24: CLB – CALLING A 3RD SELL SIGNAL @ $17.91 +10.42%
1:51 PM – After repeatedly running into resistance at the 10 DMA throughout February and forming a pattern of lower highs, shares are now committing another technical violation by breaking below the 50 DMA. That confirms continued deterioration in trend structure. Calling a 3RD and FINAL SELL SIGNAL here.
SELL SIGNALS:
11/5 (1/3) @ $15.59 -3.9%
1/28 (1/3) @ $18.71 +15.4%
2/24 (1/3) @ $17.91 +10.42%
OVERALL P/L: +7.3%
ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Multiple Failures at the 10 DMA Signal Trend Change
• Repeated rejection at the 10 DMA often precedes deeper weakness.
• Lower highs confirm developing downtrend pressure.
• A break of the 50 DMA removes intermediate institutional support.
• Protect gains before a controlled pullback becomes a larger decline.

TUE 2/24: SNCY – CALLING A 3RD SELL SIGNAL @ $19.73 +26.23%
1:47 PM – Shares have quieted down and are now breaking below the ROUND-$20 support level. After a strong, quick run higher, momentum is starting to fade as merger talks continue to create uncertainty. This is swing trading. When a stock delivers sharp gains and then begins to stall and violate support, it’s time to lock in profits and rotate into another selection with potentially quicker upside.
SELL SIGNALS:
1/13 (1/3) @ $17.05 +9.1%
1/26 (1/3) @ $17.38 +11.2%
2/24 (1/3) @ $19.73 +26.23%
OVERALL P/L: +15.5%
ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Take Strength — Don’t Marry It
• Strong gains are a gift — but only if you capture them.
• When momentum fades and support breaks, character has changed.
• Swing trading is about rotation, not attachment.
• Book profits. Reallocate. Stay in moving stocks.
