Market still shaky

The market remains shaky and I am sticking to quick trades for the most part and not carrying too much overnight. The positions I am holding overnight I am slowly building up overtime and I will look to add aggressively should the market turn or they start to see some good volume.

Here is my short list
Infra: All of these busted through their 50dma on big volume recently and are now building strong bases over that support level.

CBI, MDR, KBR

SGR is my favorite and I have had good trades here recently but it is a bit extended for me here. It got a good pop off earnings this month and I think these could follow suit with many of their earning reports coming out over the next month.

Oils:
SD - already in at 6.00 and have flipped some I will trade around this one and look to add on a big volume day. Consistently sees big volume bars sporadically through out the day which tells me many funds are accumulating this one.

XTXI - continues to pullback along its declining 50 dma looking for a volume boom to get in this one. I talk to many traders and this one is on all their radars, when a fund makes the first move this one could lead to substantial gains. But for now the stock is pulling back daily on light volume. So just a watch list name for now.

Where do you see the volume bars on SD for example? Is this from watching the stock throughout the day or can you access this somewhere?

Sorry I missed your question earlier. Yeah I was watching an intraday minute chart. There were big buyers in the 5.85 to 6 level last week where I took my position. I have locked in some and letting some go which I will continue to trade around as I expect to oil to test the $50 level over the next few days.
