• Alliance Resource Partners(ARLP Quote) is still open with the entry at $35.75.

  The stop is at $37.75, which offers $2 in risk. The first profit target is $33.75, and the final profit target will be determined if the current support at $33.50 fails to hold as support on a closing basis. Shares closed at $34.68 Monday.

• Copa Holdings (CPA Quote) did not set up last week. The strategy is to see a close under $50 and then a return to $50 for an entry. Once the trade is entered, the stop would be placed initially at $55, offering $5 in risk. The first profit target would be $45 to serve the one-to-one risk/reward ratio; partial profits could be taken there.

  Then, depending on the price action, the original stop may be lowered closer to break-even. The final profit target would be $42.50.

  If Copa's share price closes under $50 but then moves below $49.25 without first offering the entry, this trade setup is no longer valid. If the price moves above $57.50 without first closing under $50, that would also invalidate the setup. The stock closed at $55.84 Monday.
