3 Delicious Weekly Trading Setups

By Galen Woods in Trading Articles on February 23, 2014

The Yum-Yum continuation pattern uses range expansion to confirm break-outs that continues the trend.

Learn: Yum-Yum Continuation Pattern

Traders of this pattern must buy at the top of a bull trend and sell at the bottom of a bear trend. For intrepid traders only.

Yum-Yum patterns on weekly charts are opportunities to scale into an investment position. Unfortunately, you won’t be lowering your average cost.

1. Yum-Yum Pattern on COL Weekly

COL Weekly Yum-Yum Trade
This chart shows a Yum-Yum continuation pattern on the weekly bars of Rockwell Collins (COL on NYSE). The lower panel plots the range of each bar with a 10-period moving average.

  1. COL has been trending upwards.
  2. It just broke out of the earlier swing high with a strong bullish bar.
  3. The range of the break-out is higher than its 10-period average.

To trade this Yum-Yum pattern, buy as price breaks above this wide range bar. The break-out must take place within the next three weeks.

2. Yum-Yum Pattern on CTAS Weekly

CTAS Weekly Yum-Yum Trade
The weekly chart of Cintas Corporation (CTAS on NASDAQ) is showing a bullish Yum-Yum continuation pattern.

  1. CTAS is in a bull trend, which is a requisite for a continuation trade.
  2. Two weeks ago, CTAS started the up swing with a bullish reversal bar.
  3. The wide range break-out bar confirmed the bullish momentum and completed the Yum-Yum pattern.

3. Yum-Yum Pattern on DTV Weekly

DTV Weekly Yum-Yum Trade
The weekly bars of DIRECTV (DTV on NASDAQ) are also showing a Yum-Yum continuation pattern.

  1. DTV is in a clear upwards trend.
  2. The recent pullback started forcefully with a bearish outside bar. However, this outside bar failed as price continued higher.
  3. Moreover, the break-out bar was a bullish trend bar with a wide range. This sturdy break-out bar is the signal bar of the Yum-Yum pattern.

Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
