GALE Pair Trade

If you want to run a pair trade in biotech with QCOR, take a look at GALE, while a very speculative trade, I do like the look of the chart and I do like the idea of a pair trade here (short QCOR/ Long GALE).

 Gale RSI positive divergence and a long X-over signal. Obviously a pullback would be great, but again, a phased in approach might be the best approach with GALE. The position size should certainly be much smaller as this is a speculative stock, but in the same sub-industry group as QCOR.

 The candlestick indicator (still no name) has shown a bullish slant lately with candles closing in the upper half averaging around the top 75% and up to the highs of the day.

 Long term daily accumulation and a rounding base.

Longer term 3C leading positive.

It's not easy to buy a 12% gain, but that is where the phasing in works, allowing some room for a possible pullback, I would use the Trend Channel as the stop or just below it ($.60 area).
