Daily Robo System 2:  NASDAQ – AMG

The Trade

Date of Entry: 18 April 2012  

Strategy: Robo Trailing Stop Loss

Profit Targets: 33% of position size at 71.00, 72.00 & 73.00

The Technical Side

The reason for taking the trade is because of the pattern from Feb - April 2012. This pattern is a bullish corrective pattern, because of the overlapping wave structures and therefore is just about looking for the breakout of the pattern.

The volume helps confirm this event.


Another interesting point is that the correction is the foundation for the next trend, so the bigger the correction the better the next trend. This can be an accurate science and extremely helpful for the trader to understand.

Daily Robo System 2:  ASX –FWD

The Trade

Date 18 April 2012
Code FWD
Entry Long 12.65 
Exit    12.90
Profit  $00.15

The Technical Side

Background
Because it was a day trade we also wanted the risk reward to be worthwhile, so we adjusted the normal Robo tactics to squeeze out more profit and less risk.

The normal Entry and Stop for the Robo would have the entry 1 point above Tuesday’s High at 12.72 (12.73) and the stop 1 point below Tuesday Low 12.49 (12.47)

So to get a better risk reward we used the Closing Price from Tuesday at 12.65. However the Opening Price was 12.75.
The Stop was left at 12.47 in this case. We rarely place Stops at 9 (i.e 9.49) and definitely not at whole numbers like 50. Stops are normally placed at 3 and 7. (You would need to learn more about the TradingLevels to understand why.)

Technicals 
TradingLevels (i.e. Price): Target TradingLevel 13 (TL13) $13.00
There was a Gap at 12.92, so our Exit Target is to the closet largest number 12.90 as this would be where the most sellers would be sitting apart from 13.00.
Volume: the volume on the Wednesday was more than Tuesday and the price was also up on Tuesday, so we had expanding price and volume.

Weekly Bullish Cycle has Wednesday as normally closing high with Thursday being the bear day. So the idea is to close out the trade on the Wednesday, so the trade is not caught in the Thursday bear day. 

The US Markets were up over 1% 
So the likelihood of the Australian market would be up.

The Post

This trade was posted 18 April 2012 in our Robo Australia page, Pending Trade table: 

 

Notes On Trade  CODE    DATE        DIRECTION        ENTRY      STOP        TARGET 
Daily Robo            FWD     18-Apr        Long                  12.65         12.47         12.90

Notes

The trade was completed in the same day, Wednesday at 12.90 (with only a 15 cent profit in this case). However it is the thought into the overall strategy though, that is importat here, how it incorporates the follow-through from the US markets, the Weekly Bullish Cycle, the technical and the Robo Trading Plan.

This was a high probability trade even though it was only 15 cents profit. If you have four trades set up in the same manner then it becomes more interesting!

Daily Robo System 2 ASX – NCM

The Trade

Date: 24 April 2012
Entry:  27.70 (1,000 CFDs)
Exit:  26.05
Profit:  $1.65 / 5.96% / $1,650.00

The Technical Side

The reason the trade was taken is because of the volume and price bar relationship.
Increased volume to the downside gives the direction, then the retest of the trend on lower volume confirms the trend is down, because volume creates the price action, then it stands to reason it confirms the price action, one could say its more important than price…
