                      NOTES FROM THE EDITOR
               ********************************** 

In today's age of instant information, technical traders have access to an endless variety of data to help them make decisions. Stock charts, while still combining the same basic features they always have, offer more and more indicators every year. Then there's the matter of deciding which intervals to use. At times it can seem daunting!

When it comes to chart intervals for swing trading, we've found the daily chart to be highly effective. Anything smaller, such as the 30-minute or 15-minute, tends to reveal short-lived trends that are difficult to capitalize on for those who aren't daytraders.

Many short-term traders think that weekly charts are best left to long-term traders and investors. Swing traders, however, can also take advantage of the weekly interval. This is especially true during strong Bull markets, when hundreds of stocks are lifted to their highest point on the daily chart. When you run across one of these, you very well might be looking at an equity that's trading at all-time highs.

On the other hand, a stock might be trading at multi-year highs, but just a few points beneath strong historical resistance. These congestion or reversal zones don't show up on a daily chart, because they were created further back in time. The weekly chart reveals these levels in the past, giving you a clear sense for the potential risk/reward and allowing you to gauge upside targets.

When considering a long play in a stock that's trading at or near a 52-week peak, always pull back to the weekly chart to see how far it might run.

Whenever contemplating a trade set-up, it never hurts to take a quick glance at the weekly or monthly, even if a stock isn't breaking to long-term highs. During pullbacks you may notice that price action is approaching a key moving average. You'll often find that stocks stage strong reversals from these levels (typically the 50-week and 200-week MA's), especially when they converge with other bounce points such as horizontal support or a rising trendline.

As for the indicators, momentum oscillators like the MACD and stochastics can be predictive on weekly charts. However, swing traders should pay more attention to what these are doing on the daily interval. A weekly stochastic reversal, for example, might take a relatively long time to play itself out, whereas a daily stochastic reversal can start to produce results within a matter of days.

Here's to profits!

                           MARKET SUMMARY
                   *****************************

Stocks were higher on Thursday after traders absorbed several key events, including comments from Federal Reserve Bank Chairman Jerome Powell in which he maintained a hawkish tone that showed his determination to reduce the painfully high inflation rate in the USA and the globe. In addition, the European Central Bank (ECB) raised its benchmark interest rates by 75 basis points, the biggest increase in its history. In light equities news, American Eagle Outfitters (AEO $11) fell short of quarterly profit forecasts and suspended its dividend, while McCormick & Company (MKC $79) lowered its full-year guidance due to the current inflationary environment. The economic calendar was similarly quiet, as consumer credit expanded less than projected and unemployment claims declined. The USD/dollar and gold finished lower, oil prices were up, as were treasury yields.

                   ***********************************

TRADER'S TIP: "Stick With One Method"

Though exceptional brainpower isn't a requirement for trading, the ability to choose a method and stick with it is. Many traders jump quickly from one trading system to another, never spending enough time with a single approach to find out if it really works. We suggest selecting a method, consistently trade it for at least three months, measure the results and see how it performs. If it works well, stick with it. If it doesn't, then find out why, and fix or replace it. Keep in mind that most winning routines contain robust stock selection, risk management, and exit strategies - components included in the RightLine Report approach.

                              TRADER'S TIP: 
                   ***********************************

TRADER'S TIP: "Know Before You Go"

Before entering a trade, carefully plan "what you will do" and "when you will do it" once you are in the position. Actually, this is much more important than finding the "perfect" entry. And always include an exit plan for three possible scenarios: the trade moves favorably, unfavorably, or doesn't move at all. Be sure to include the specific exit price when planning stop-losses. When using the trailing stop method to lock in gains, make certain that you decide in advance at what point the trailing stop will be adjusted.

                   ***********************************

CONSUMER DEFENSIVE SECTOR

Beyond Meat, Inc. (BYND: Consumer Defensive/Packaged Foods) - SQUEEZE PLAY. Thursday's narrow price range has created a potentially profitable setup in BYND, as sellers and buyers find themselves in a near tie for control of price direction. The next short-term trend could go either way, so prepare for a move out of the draw within the next day or so. Set a BUY entry at 22.26 and a SELL short entry at 20.44. Let BYND's price action determine your long or short entry. Once the order is filled, place a 1.82 trailing stop, and tighten it to 0.91 upon getting a 6.72 gain. BYND closed Thursday at 21.69. Earnings Report Date: Nov 08, 2022. Beta: 1.80. Market-Cap: 1.381B. Optionable.

ENERGY SECTOR

Cross Timbers Royalty Trust (CRT: Energy/Oil & Gas E&P) - SQUEEZE PLAY. Traders are feeling the pressure as CRT's intra-day price range on Thursday shrunk to the narrowest spread in over a week. The tension between buyers and sellers should provide enough pent-up engergy for a breakout move in the days ahead, so get ready to trade with the new trend. To achieve that, place a BUY entry at 21.38 and a SELL short entry at 19.56. CRT's price movement will decide which entry is filled. As soon as you're in the trade, enter a 1.82 trailing stop. Tighten it to 0.91 after you get a 2.02 gain. CRT closed Thursday at 20.66. Earnings Report Date: N/A. Beta: 0.65. Market-Cap: 123.96M. Not Optionable.

HEALTHCARE SECTOR

Design Therapeutics, Inc. (DSGN: Healthcare/Biotechnology) - SQUEEZE PLAY. Thursday's trading session left DSGN in a very narrow price range after buyers and sellers fought to a near stalemate. Both sides are looking for some traction, and a breakout either way could provide a nice gain in the short term. To get aboard, set your BUY trigger at 23.91 and your SELL short trigger at 22.09. One of the orders will be triggered by upcoming price action. When your market order is filled, cancel the remaining trigger and enter a 1.82 trailing stop. Once you have a 3.38 profit, reduce the stop to 0.91. Earnings Report Date: Nov 07, 2022. Beta: N/A. Market-Cap: 1.3B. Optionable.

Vera Therapeutics, Inc. (VERA: Healthcare/Biotechnology) - SQUEEZE PLAY. VERA is stuck in a Bull/Bear deadlock. Fortunately for traders this impasse should be resolved soon, with one side or the other taking control. We want to be positioned for a potential quick move up or down, so get ready to catch this train with a BUY entry at 21.27 and a SELL short entry at 19.51. Once your trade is filled, enter a 1.76 trailing stop. Tighten it to 0.88 after a 3.36 gain. VERA closed on Thursday at 20.61. Earnings Report Date: N/A. Beta: N/A. Market-Cap: 559.386M. Not Optionable.

TECHNOLOGY SECTOR

GDS Holdings Limited (GDS: Technology/Information Technology Services) - SQUEEZE PLAY. A look at GDS's daily chart shows what a price squeeze is all about. The constricted high-low daily trading range has produced a setup similar to a tightly coiled spring. Expect price to move sharply soon, with the direction yet to be determined. Let the upcoming market action resolve whether you will buy shares or sell short. To capture a move either way, place a BUY trigger at 22.75 and a SELL short trigger at 21.22. Once GDS shows which way it's headed, place your triggered entry order. As soon as your order is filled, follow with a trailing stop of 1.53 and tighten to 0.77 on a 2.72 gain. GDS closed Thursday at 22.03. Earnings Report Date: Nov 14, 2022. Beta: 0.76. Market-Cap: 4.374B. Optionable.

Below are the stocks that have announced splits and have recently executed or will execute soon.
