Stocks Swing Trading Journal for CDEV

This stocks trading journal is a review of a recently closed Long 5th Wave Swing Trade on CDEV. Before markets opened, on the 20/11/2018, we posted a video in our Signals membership for a potential Short Swing Trade for CDEV. A quick analysis, entry, Stop Loss and Target price for this potential 5th wave move Short for $CDEV. The original video can be viewed  >>>HERE<<<   . Trade entered during first hour of the trading session on 20th November and hit our 5th wave Target 5 days later.

Our Stocks swing trading strategy involves trading the 5th Wave of the Elliott Wave sequence, as it is the highest probability move in a “with trend” trade.  The Wave 4 in this case pulled back and found final resistance in the Amber Pullback zone. This indicates an 80% 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 $16.96 with Stop above the Wave 4 low at $17.75.  Our automated 5th Wave Target zone in Blue was around the $15.60, giving a Risk to Reward of 1:1.8

Below this chart is our commentary on how the trade went and chart showing exit when price hit our automated target zone. (Click on the image to enlarge in another window)

CDEV Stocks Swing Trading Journal – What Happened Next

Price gapped down just above the short entry on the 20th November. So our trade was triggered within the first hour.  The price closed near the low of the day on the 20th, showing signs of great downward momentum.  On the 21st November, the price retraced a little but found resistance when it tested out W5T EMA Cloud. Then a gap down on Friday the 23rd November was maintained into the close. This gave us confidence to carry the short trade on CDEV over the weekend.  Then our Wave 5 target was hit for the first time, the following week on Tuesday 27th November. We took a profit of 200% x Risk. (highlighted in first ellipse in the target zone on the chart below).

Above all, its interesting to note. Our 5th wave target level was tested again and again! Until the price broke below to form a new 5th wave low. A great example of how strong and accurate our automated 5th wave target zones are! The Chart below shows the 5th wave move on our swing trade for CDEV and is typical of this type of trade on an Intra-Day time frame . Remember, the original signals video can be viewed  >>>HERE<<<   . (Click on the image 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.
