Stocks Trading Journal for TWTR

This stocks trading journal is a review of a recently closed Short Swing Trade on TWTR . On the 5th September 2018, before the markets opened, we posted a video in our Signals membership for a potential Short Swing Trade for TWTR on the Daily time frame. The video had a quick analysis, entry price, Stop Loss and Target price for this potential 5th wave move Short on the Daily time frame for $TWTR. The original video can be viewed  >>>HERE<<<   .  The Short Swing trade on TWTR triggered with large volume during the trading session  on the 5th September through entry price stated on the video.

Our TradeTheFifth 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 Green Pullback zone, which indicates an 85% 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 $33.95 with Stop above the Wave 4 low at $36.22.  Our automated 5th Wave Target zone in Blue was around the $29.50 price for this Short trade, giving a 1:2 Risk to Reward.

Below this chart is commentary on how the trade went and 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)

TWTR Stocks Trading Journal – What Happened Next

After the initial entry on Wednesday the 5th September, the price closed near the low of the day with large volume.  This indicated momentum building quickly in our Short trade on $TWTR.  Thursday’s price action was very similar in volume and range, also closing near the low of the day.  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 Friday 7th September, the price did go into the target zone with less volume and 1.6% profit was taken on the account balance when the trade was closed. This quick exit made sense due uncertainty in the markets over the weekend and the lower volume as we attempted to push through our 5th wave target zone.

The chart below shows the exit for this Short swing trade after 3 days using our Elliott Wave indicator suite, but this image is from our Thinkorswim version.  The Top image is from our NinjaTrader NT8 Version.  (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.
