Week 13 saw the indexes base, which was healthy, but there were still some short-term profits to be had.
We caught some nice trades for the week inside the Bandit Hideout, so I wanted to offer a video recap of each of them. Once again, the numbers game of trading proved essential as a few stopped trades were offset by some nice winners. Diversifying trading directions, timeframes and strategies has some big advantages.
This show-and-tell look at the trades I took this week should give you a feel for not only how I managed my trades, but also the kinds of setups which have been working well of late.





Despite a lack of direction in the market last week, my account grew.
Last week was a solid week for trading as I added to my swing exposure while producing some steady cash flow via day trades.
The indexes didn’t make much progress in either direction, despite an early-week hiccup, but the dip-buyers once again made their presence felt last week. The buy-and-hope crowd didn’t make any progress, but actively trading the moves offered some potential for us.
Stocks headed mostly sideways last week despite the indexes easing across the line into new high territory. Once again, highs didn’t prompt the same response we’ve seen to dips (buying), leaving the indexes looking sluggish after significant 10-week rallies.
Last week saw the market edge higher overall, but momentum was distinctly absent.
Stocks headed higher again last week in a lackluster fashion, as a Monday gap was followed by some mid-week hesitation, and ultimately a move to new recovery highs for the NAZ, S&P 500, and DJIA.
The market continued its recent run last week as the NAZ made multi-year highs yet again before a Friday pullback erased the week’s gains. All in all, it was a healthy week of rest for the indexes.
