Identify Current Trends: Moving Averages The Moving Averages are key! Understanding what to expect around the moving averages provides the trader with an edge!
The basic thesis behind moving averages is to identify key resistance and support levels of the underlying security so that one can detect the continuation of a price trend or the emergence of a new price trend. Moving averages watched by institutions: 20 or 21 Daily, 50 Daily, 200 Daily. Traders also use shorter timeframe moving averages to better trigger entries and exits. 8 or 10 period EMA works well for these triggers. Weekly Period Moving Averages which approximate the Daily Moving Averages can also be helpful during analysis. 50 Day Moving Average approximately equals the 8-10 Week Moving Average 200 Day Moving Average approximately equals the 40 Week Moving Average
Patterns: Define Action Points 1. IBD Patterns 2. Candle Stick Patterns (Separate Presentation) 3. Moving Average Bounces 4. Trend Line Breaks Supporting Clues: Keltner Channels, Stochastics & Momentum Entry Action Points 1. IBD Proper Buy Points 2. Active Trend Trading Buy Points
Thoughts on Strategic Exit Action Points Executing a proper exit can be challenging unless the trader acts automatically at well-defined strategic exits Action Points. Again with an aim at keeping this initial strategy simple and objective the following exits are suggested. Stop Loss: 1. Hard Stop Loss at 7-8% of entry price if entering off an IBD Breakout 2. Breaking Swing Low or High on Alternative entries by 1-2% or tighter 3. Close below Moving average that triggered trade Profit Stops: 1. Profit Target at 20-25% of entry price. 2. Areas of Resistance/Support like moving averages. 3. Close below Moving average that triggered trade. 3. Stay in trade until a close below the 8 day EMA 4. Cash Flow Trades: Once paper profit is up over 10% adjust trailing stop to entry price plus 5% and then increase trailing stop by 2.5% for every 5% increase in stock price. Or close below 8 day EMA.
