Earnings season dumper trading

Earnings
season is in full effect now.  This is our FAVORITE time of the
year.  As earnings come out we always get groups of stocks that gap up strong or
dump down strong.  The basic play on a dumper that gaps down is to wait out the
3 minute 5 period simple moving average and then short the rejection if the 1
and or 3 minute stochastics slip back down.  This is called an inverse pup
breakdown.

Once the 3 minute 5 period ma rejected, we stepped in SHORT

9:48am as the 1 minute stochastics crossed back down reversing the upward
momentum.  NTRI sold off very fast as all the bottom catchers panicked out for
us to lock into the sellers at 57.80, out + 1.20
