WHY BIDU? Out of all the stocks that surfaced on my screener, Baidu (BIDU) has captured my interest due to the presence of an inverse head and shoulder pattern. The stock meets several criteria on the screener, including trading on above-average volume, trending above the moving average (MA), and exhibiting a high Average True Range (ATR).
EXECUTION PLAN My plan is to enter a LONG position once the stock price crosses above the neckline of the inverse head and shoulder pattern. The target for this trade will be set at $335, which represents the 100% extension of the distance between the head and the neckline. Additionally, to manage risk and secure profits, I intend to scale out a portion of my position when the stock reaches approximately the 61.8% extension of the distance, specifically at $250.
