RYCEY: No trade

Rolls-Royce Holding PLC (RYCEY) was the sole symbol to survive initial screening of Thursday's bull and bear signals. It confirmed a bull signal by trading above the breakout level on Friday. However, the breakout was a large gap to the upside, and the next day's trading was significantly lower.

In other words, a classic whipsaw.

Decision for my account: As a trend follower, I'm always reluctant to trade into the headwinds of a downside gap. So I won't be opening a new bull position in RYCEY.
