Stocks Trading Journal for Long on FCX

This stocks trading journal is a review of a recent Long Swing Trade on FCX. On the 21st Feb 2018 we posted a video in our Signals membership for a potential Long Swing Trade for FCX on the 60 minute time frame. The video had a quick analysis, entry price, Stop Loss and Target price for this potential 5th wave move long on the 60 minute timeframe.  The original video can be viewed  >>>HERE<<<

Our wave5trade 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 initial support in the Amber Pullback zone, which 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.  The original chart shown below shows the setup before the trade triggered when the trade was set up before the markets opened on the 21st Feb 2018.  Long entry price of $18.78 with Stop below above the Wave 4 low at $18.25.  Our automated 5th Wave Target level in Blue was around the $19.70 level for this long trade, giving a 1:1.6 Risk to Reward.  Below this chart is how the trade went and chart showing exit when price hit our automated target zone, as part of this stocks trading journal.

FCX Stocks Trading Journal – What Happened Next

The long swing trade moved through the entry level during the 2nd hour of the trading session on the 21st February and proceeded to move up for a while until a little pull back to close just below the entry for the day.  On the 22nd February FCX had another good strong start to the session and then sold off slightly towards the end of the day, which was mirrored in the markets.  On Friday the 23rd February a more sustained Bullish momentum was seen throughout the session and out Target Price zone was hit, so profits taken and closed the osition before the weekend.  In the chart below we can see the prce action on the 60 minute timeframe as described with a great 1.6% profit on the account balance taken for a 1% risk for this typical 5th wave swing trade over 3 days.

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. Contact your broker or RIA for execution, margin, and other capital requirements. All users and viewers of wave5trade.com adhere to ALL terms of service on www.tradethefifth.com

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.
