AT&T - Double bottom with divergence and engulfing

28 ก.พ. 2014

There is a saying that appears in a lot of books "Plan your trade and trade your plan". I never did this. I always keep a trade that is on profit until it looks like the trend changed, I never plan my exits. This is the first trade where I'm gonna make a plan and trade it, no matter what happens.

The US market opens in 10 minutes, and I'm gonna watch for the open. A strong gap down cancels the trade. With my risk management rules and my portofolio size, I can buy 100 shares of AT&T. The stop loss will be under the current low. I'm going to close half of the position at take profit 1, and move the stop loss on break even (including the commision costs) on the remaining 50 shares. If we close over the last swing high, that is 33.50$, I will move my stop loss at the last swing low on the hourly chart. If we reach 35$, I'm going to close the entire position.

Technically, we have a class B bullish divergence (the third one) both on the MACD lines and the histogram. Bullish engulfing with strong volume. Also, the support line at 32$ is a very strong weekly support.
