CERN Stock Trading Journal

This CERN stock trading journal is a review of a Long Swing Trading 5th wave move on $CERN. I write a great deal of these trading journals, not just because of the a high proportion of my trades hit our Elliott Wave, Automated 5^th wave target zones. But because every single Stock acts in a slightly different way to Earnings, News and Sector pressures. So when it comes time to trade the same Stock again, I have the experience written down to learn from. I hope you find this trading journal educational.

Before the markets opened, on 16 November 2019,

I posted a Stocks Trade Idea for a potential Long Swing Trade for $CERN on our TradingView profile HERE. The original trade idea includes full analysis & Setup before the markets opened . The Signal came from our Elliott Wave Indicator suite for the TradingView platform. 

In the original chart screenshot below we can see that the CERN Stock finally found support at our automated probability pullback Amber zone on its Elliott Wave 4. This indicates an 80% probability that the 5th Wave will go on and make a new High in this current Bullish trend.

The Pullback zones are part of our Elliott Wave Indicator Suite. 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 original chart shown below shows the setup with a Long entry price of $69.55 with Stop at $64.84. Our automated 5th Wave Target zone in Blue was around the $80. 

Therefore, a Risk to Reward of 1:2 for this longer term swing trade was achievable. Below this original setup chart, I discuss the entry and trade management for this swing trade that hit our 5th wave target zone.
