SLCA Swing Trade

June 20, 2019 by Don Roth

I just sold SLCA at $12.44 for a 20% gain in three days. No sense in getting too greedy. Now that was a good swing trade.

KaChing.

The 15 minute chart shows the power of support coupled with broken resistance on a smaller time frame. Please note the bounce off support at $9 coupled with the break of short term resistance (descending white line).

Initially there was about an hour of slide down the top of resistance once broken then the pop. That pop is exactly where I entered the trade (see green arrow). Then it stair stepped higher immediately for two days and this morning we got the rip through resistance to mid $12’s.Thank you very much SLCA…nice doing business with you.
