4LRCX trade ideas

Lam is a Strong BUYLam Research is a stock on it's way up. The prominent analysts have set the price target as high as $275. This price looks like it is bouncing off support until it can jump past the resistance. Increased value from the growth of sales is one thing this company has on it's side. The books of LRCX look better YoY, only showing a couple weaknesses, i.e. in a slightly larger debt than last year, stock price at a discount compared to industrial peers, etc. In it's peer group, of integrated circuitry and semiconductors, LRCX stands to gain ground aplenty. This price is a good entry for such a solid go-getter.

SILENCE OF THE LAM - PART 2, THE FOLLOW-UPThis is a follow-up for the sell-off in-LRCX. The first chart was published on July 3rd. The July 3rd forecast, based on 8 indicators, was down. There were other reasons I thought the stock would decline. There was a bearish “shark” pattern. This is the “W” formation I highlighted on the chart above. A “W” formation could be a bearish shark, Gartley, butterfly, or crab . These formations, when coupled with negative indicators, generally will guide you on the right directional trade. So, what is next if you are short? Point “B” on the bearish shark pattern was the trigger for the sell signal. Why? The three indicators on top went negative, as did chop and chop zone (lower indicators). Point “C” on the bearish shark was a lower low than point “A”, and on the rebound, point “D” was a lower high than point “X”. This bearish shark pattern signaled a sell signal. The price action of-LRCX became weaker, as the daily action fell into the Ichimoku Cloud. Then, as June began, all indicators turned deeply negative. The alligator started feeding to the downside (red arrows), and the stock accelerated down. So, when would you logically cover a short position? If you measure a Fibonacci retracement from point “X” ($235.67) to point “C” ($180.07), a logical stop for a short would be a Fibonacci retracement of 1.272 ($164.95) or Fibonacci 1.414) ($157.05). Which one? There is usually an inter-relationship of the indicators that will help you to decide. If the top indicators reverse and start turning positive at a Fibonacci 1.272 or 1.414 , a wise person would cover and take profits. The intensity of chop and chop zone would also become weaker. Previous lows in LRCX-were at $156.75 during the February lows, so logical support (new buying) is here. Just remember, charts and indicators measure human emotions as well as business conditions. There seems to be a lot of geo-political risk. Don’t be shaken out of your convictions because of the latest shock value of a Washington DC story. Personally, I think the U.S. stock market is very expensive, and risk out-weighs reward. I hope this has been helpful to you. I hope all of your trade go well. Don.

SILENCE OF THE LAM-ANOTHER FAILING CHIP STOCK-LRCXBasic Trading Techniques Explained (For This Example I Charted-LAM RESEARCH) I believe LRCX-is a failing stock. If you consider shorting-LRCX, be careful. It is at a key support level. I have prepared this tutorial for you for two reasons: to keep you from losing money in a bad position, and to allow you to set up a chart of your own. 1. Establish the direction of the trend. An effective way to do this is to use a 150 to 180 point regression line. In this chart I used a 233 day moving average. This can be weekly, daily hourly (any time duration you wish to trade). Nevertheless, a 15-minute chart is not nearly as strong as a daily or weekly period . You can base the regression line or moving average on the close, but I like open, high, low, close divided by four. 2. Use a price channel, two if possible. Most trending stocks repeat within a channel. I like a 20-day channel, and I have found that if a 20-day channel is violated on the low side, this triggers “sell stops” from traders. The next channel is a 50 day. If this fails on the low side, the established trend may reverse. LRCX-HAS A WELL DEFINED DOWN TREND CHANNEL. 3. Ichimoku Cloud. This is a great indicator and I recommend that you use it. Because this chart does have a price channel, the cloud itself can confirm. Up trending stocks must be above a rising cloud. Tenkan-sen (Conversion Line): (9-period high + 9-period low)/2)).On a daily chart, this line is the midpoint of the 9-day high-low range, which is almost two weeks. Kijun-sen (Base Line): (26-period high + 26-period low)/2)). On a daily chart, this line is the mid-point of the 26-day high-low range, which is almost one month. 4. Mean reversion. If you study financial instruments, in this case stocks, they tend to oscillate up and down around the “mean”, or the regression trendline . If a stock is at the upper band of a 20-day price channel , do not chase it, because it is likely to “revert to the mean”. Better yet, if you have an up trending stock, let it fall (at least) to the lower band of the 20 day price channel . Why? Because the price will tend to “revert to the mean”. 5. ADX. The ADX is a green line, red line, and black line. If the green line is on top, the trend is up. If the red line is on top, the trend is down. The black line indicates the strength of the trend. For example, if the black line is rising, the trend (up or down) is getting stronger. Always use some form of trend quality indicator. Another such “trend quality” indicator is “Aroon”. 6. RSI or Stochastics RSI. These indicators will guide you in the “mean reversion” you plot. For example, the RSI at 80 will tell you that what you are plotting is “over-bought”. Caution: an RSI indicator, in something that is “breaking out to the upside”, can remain over-bought for long periods. You should use some of your other indicators, such as the “Awesome Indicator”, to guide you on trend reversal. The "AO" is a series of green and red horizontal bars that show you strength and weakness in a stock. 7. The Choppiness Index (CHOP) is an indicator designed to determine if the market is choppy (trading sideways) or not choppy (trading within a trend in either direction). CHOP is not meant to predict future market direction; it is an indicator to be used to for defining the stock’s trendiness only. Higher values equal more choppiness , while lower values indicate directional trending. This is used with….chop zone. 8. I use a chop zone indicator that is green for up-trend, red for downtrend, and white for no trend. If you combine this color-coded format with #7 above ( choppiness ), a green color with a “chop” indicator line that is falling would indicate a strong trend. If the chop line breaks below the lower band, this indicates a statistically significant event (up for green, or down for red). This will tell you that the trend is very strong. May all of your trades go well.
