Best and worst trades - Apr 2017

Markets have chopped sideways in the recent month and that's the least favorable environment for the reversal levels approach. But that doesn't deter us from staying in the big trending moves while avoiding big losses. Good trading starts with realistic expectations, so once a month we show the good, the bad and the ugly of our method.

In March Global Blood Therapeutics GBT was topping our list. That move has ended and Petrobras Argentina PZE has taken over first place with a 102% gain in 80 days. The Buy signal was given on December 22 when PZE could be picked up at $5.74. It now trades at $11.63 and there may be more to come.
Second is FIZZ with an 84% gain in 59 days and GNCMA comes third after gaining 83% in 23 days. Those moves are not finished, stocks are held until their next Sell signal (or Buy signal for a short position).

The current worst trades are short KPTI (-8%), followed by long PBYI (-7%) and long DXPE (-6%). We keep losses small.
