This member is the original thread starter. GS - weekly hammer

This hammer looks pretty good IMO. It's right on support and the long wick shows someone was definitely loading up their inventory. I'm going to buy this if there is a move above $100.

Trade Idea - Hammer on the weekly chart, sitting on support and reasonable risk/reward for my stock account.

Trade Plan - Use daily chart to find a suitable entry point. Currently the daily shows a descending triangle that broke out to the downside and a spinning top against new resistance/old support. That's why I will wait for a break above $200 before going long.

Targets & Stops - My first target will be $220 where I will scale out 2/3rds of the trade and move my stop to break even. The second stop will be $240. My initial stop will be $183, or just below the wick of the hammer on both the weekly and daily (set Jan 9th on the daily).
