The Gaming Trade - Video Game and Esports Stocks - September 1.0The Gaming Trade
The gaming trade tracks gaming & esports stocks. With a combination of technical and fundamental analysis I attempt to provide the best ways to profit off of these companies in the stock market. My style is a blend of classical charting, candlestick reading, trend trading and a bit of price action. My decisions are based on how the daily, weekly & monthly charts display the current status of the stock. I will do my best to provide insight on profit taking points and breakouts on my Twitter account: @TheBegonis - I use no leverage in this tracking account.

I will be publishing this bi-monthly. One short-form chart update and one long-form newsletter with chart updates.
AMD: Price $25.17
This has been on fire! After completing an 11-year cup & handle it looks like it will need to cool down a bit -- especially because of the HUGE shooting star on the weekly chart. Look to buy the upcoming pull back and consolidation. This will be rolling once again soon enough.
Based on the daily chart - look for a potential pull back to the 50SMA around $21.50 - however price is holding above the 9DEMA (not pictured). If you want to play the potential Bull Flag on the Daily - set a tight stop Just below $24 with a price target around $30
ATVI: Price $72.10
Activision-Blizzard has been in a rising channel since October '16. The stock peaked at the upper resistance line of $81.60 and pulled back to the lower support line. The stock will be in for some choppy trading for a while until the Weekly closes above$75.53 and the Monthly closes above$75.40
EA: Price $113.41
Electronic Arts is showing big weakness at the moment. The huge red candle on the monthly chart is resting on the SMA. This has been in a rising channel since November 2015 and is the first major break in either direction from it. If this doesn't bounce back the next area of support will be $105. Be careful, this has a falling knife quality to it at the moment.
TCEHY: Price $43.14
Tencent is trending south right now. It is currently resting on the SMA of the monthly chart. After a huge hammer back the week of August 13th - price continued to fall and broke below the close of that hammer just two weeks later. Price needs to close back above $49.50-$50 area to change the current down trend. At the moment, a possible area of support could be found in the $36 area.
ZNGA: Price $4.16
Zynga has been slowly moving within a rising channel since February of 2017. Price decisively closed above $3.99 on the weekly locking in the upward trend. It is probably too late to enter a trade as the target is $4.55. This is a stock worth following for the long term - I find the price movements to be reliable - for the time being.
I'll try to do better the next time.
Thank you & safe trading!
