Stocks Swing Trading Journal for NBL

This stocks trading journal is a review of a recently closed Short Swing Trade on NBL . 11 October 2018, before markets open, we posted a video in our Signals membership for potential Short on NBL. The video had a quick analysis, entry, Stop Loss and Target price for this potential 5th wave move Short.  This was on the Daily time frame for $NBL. The original video can be viewed  >>>HERE<<<   .  The Target Level for the Trade was smashed through after only 10 Days….

Our TradeTheFifth strategy involves trading the 5th Wave of the Elliott Wave sequence.  Above all the 5th wave is the highest probability move in a “with trend” trade.  The Wave 4 in this case pulled back and found final resistance in the Red Pullback zone. Which indicates an 75% probability that the 5th Wave will go on and make a new low in this current Bearish trend. The Pullback zones are part of our Elliott Wave Indicator Suite.  The original chart shown below shows the setup with a Short entry price of $30.93. With Stop above the Wave 4 low at $32.81.  Our automated 5th Wave Target zone in Blue was around the $27.22 price for this Short trade. Therefore giving a 1:2 Risk to Reward.

Below this chart is commentary on how the trade went. With a chart showing exit when price went through our automated target zone and was was re-printed a wave 3. (Click on the image to enlarge in another window)image of stocks signals video chart setting up NBL trade

NBL Stocks Swing Trading Journal – What Happened Next

After the initial entry on Thursday the 11th October. The price closed flat to the entry price and then had a little full back over the next few days.  This is sometimes the case when trading the fifth wave, but as normal the pull back was with lowering volume.  Momentum with price action and volume really started too build on the 18th October with price heading back down below our original entry.  When we get these quick 5th wave moves we must be ready to take profit at target zones quickly as the price tends to bounce of these levels.

So on Wednesday 24th October, the price did smash through our target zone and profit was taken between the 1:2 and 1:2.5 Risk to reward. So for a risk of $1000 this trade would have yielded a $2000+ reward. This quick exit made sense due uncertainty in the markets with mid-term elections, Amazon earnings the next day and so on.

The chart below shows the exit for this Short swing trade after 3 days using our Elliott Wave indicator suite from our Thinkorswim version. This is another great example of how powerful our Elliott Wave Indicator Suite is and how our Stocks Scanner Membership is a very useful tool for our users  (Click on the image below to enlarge in another window)

Swing trading, Day trading, short-term trading, options trading, and futures trading are extremely risky undertakings. They generally are not appropriate for someone with limited capital, little or no trading experience, and/or a low tolerance for risk. Never execute a trade unless you can afford to and are prepared to lose your entire investment. All trading operations involve serious risks, and you can lose your entire investment. No trades are recommendations or advice and we cannot be sued for losses of capital. All trades are for educational purposes only.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
