Hi Folks,
I thought this would be a great time to do a quick trade review on a recent idea I posted on my public twitter! The thread on this particular trade can be found here.
As many of you already know I'm a technical trader. I look for technical patterns and characteristics to find low risk, high reward ideas. My vision of a great trade is one that continues to follow the technical characteristics that I've uncovered and works in a swift manner!
"The best trades are the ones that work right away!"
This $OIH reversal swing trade idea could be considered one that worked right away. Lets review what made this trade a low risk, high reward setup!
There were 3 very Important factors that were considered in this trade.
A steep, swift 25% pullback and down 8 days consecutively!
Tagged some support levels and the 200 day MA
The energy sector has been a leading market in 2022
The ideal entry on this potential reversal would have been right on the 200 day MA, Around $234 - $235.
The Art of Trading Private community was alerted an Entry on 2022-06-17 @$237.40
our stop loss was set at $230. With an upside target of $270 - $280
The stop loss was set slightly below the Low of Day (LOD) and below the 200 day MA
The Target $270 - $280 was based on a gap down area made 5 days prior around $280 This also happens to be a 30% - 40% retrace of the move down.
On Tuesday morning 2022-06-21 $OIH gapped up, held the gap up and then made a momentum move higher with the market. Knowing how volatile and how quickly gains can come and go in this market I alerted Art of Trading Private members of a partial exit at $249.20. Locking in a partial gain of +6%!!!
We track all of our official alerts on a spreadsheet. YTD Art of Trading short term trading alerts have produced +20% in these less than ideal conditions!
When we see the entirety of this trade through I'll be sure to update you on how it went!
Cheers and Happy Trading,
