Seasonality and Reversals Off of Ytd Lows

Recommended Posts

Just fiddling with a thought.The summer doldrums (July and August) see many stocks

touch their ytd lows.I have been tracking those that trade under $5 and show signs of a reversal ( three days upticking)

 

I've noticed that if their current price after the reversal sets up AND their 3 month high is

AT LEAST double,that some powerful breakouts are available.

 

See KNDI, SCEI,USBI,NEWN,GRO,AERG,ABAT

 

I've always felt like bottom feeding combined with seasonality could be an area to begin

positions..Reservals off of bottoms with tight stops.

 

Now if somebody could suggest a scaling strategy with appropriate profit stops, I

could begin an exit model.

KNDI looks good

SCEI looks like a wild beast

USBI - wild beast

NEWN - wild beast

GRO- why buy?

AERG- buy with caution

ABAT- buy with caution

 

Anyways, since you asked for a scaling strategy, a good approach could be:

 

-Decide a stop price at which you will exit all of your position no matter what

-Calculate risk and no. of (tentative) shares if you were to exit at initial stop price

-Buy 40% of position at CMP

-Add 20% at a level close to your initial stop

- add 40% only at a very comfortable price when the stock has moved up significantly and your trailing stop is above the buy price. Regard this as a separate trade when you get such chance.

 

For example in KNDI, suppose you can risk maximum 1000$ and your initial stop is 1.90. Say current price is 2.74. You can buy 40% of 1000/(2.74-1.90)= 475 shares at 2.74

 

1.99 looks a good level so you can add 20% of 1000/(1.99-1.90)= 2000 shares aprox

 

3.0 looks a good level so if the stock moves around 4, you can raise your stop to 3.00 and add remaining shares.

 

PS: add minimum 2 cent slippage for all trades in calculating no. of shares (slippage can bleed you out in such stocks). This is only a raw example, every time you move your stop re-asses your risk.

Do or Die:

 

Thanx for responding.

 

I may have misled you. Those companies mentioned had all triggered long position.

My scaling out refered to exit stragegy,not to adding to position.

 

KNDI in @ 1.92 went to 3.30

SCEI in @ 1.35 went to 2.60

USBI in @ 3.58 went to 7.20

NEWN in @ 2.37 went to 4.25

GRO in @ .95 went 1.58

AERG in @ .26 went to .52

ABAT in @ 1.10 went to 1.95

CCRT in @ 2.35 went to 3.40

 

These moves all happened within 3 weeks and sometimes the next day. So,open sell

orders had to be in place.How to do this optimally is my challenge.

 

Too bad, after today it may well be a moot point.:helloooo:

    • Date: 29th March 2024. GBPUSD Analysis: The Pound Trades Higher But For How Long? The global Stocks Markets are closed due to Easter Friday (Good Friday). The NASDAQ continued to follow the sideways trend while other indices again rose. The SNP500 reaches an all-time high, but the NASDAQ remains under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple. The Euro continues to trade lower against all major currencies including the US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. The British Pound is the best performing currency during this morning’s Asian session. However, investors are largely fixing their attention on this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. GBPUSD – The Pound Trades Higher but For How Long? The GBPUSD is slightly higher than the day’s open and is primary due to the Pound’s strong performance. At the moment, the British Pound is increasing in value against all major currencies. However, the US Dollar Index is also trading 0.10% higher and for this reason there is a slight conflict here. If investors wish to avoid this conflict, the EURUSD is a better option. This is because, the Euro depreciating against the whole currency market avoiding the “tug-of-war” scenario. The GBPUSD is trading slightly lower than the 2-month’s average price and is trading at 49.10 on the RSI. For this reason, the price of the exchange is at a “neutral” level and is signalling neither a buy nor a sell. The day’s price action and future signals are possibly likely to be triggered by this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. Analysts expect the Core PCE Price Index to read 0.3% which is slightly lower than the previous month but will result in the annual figure remaining at 2.85%. The PCE rate is different to the inflation rate and the Fed aims for a rate between 1.5% to 2.00%. Therefore, even if the annual rate remains at 2.85%, as analysts expect, it would be too high for the Fed. If the rate increases, even if only slightly, the US Dollar can again renew bullish momentum and the stock market can come under pressure. This includes the SNP500. Investors are focused on the publication of data on the UK’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the last quarter of 2023: the quarterly figures decreased by 0.3%, and 0.2% over the past 12-months. This confirms the state of a shallow recession and the need for stimulation. The data, combined with a cooling labor market and a steady decline in inflation, increase the likelihood that the Bank of England will soon begin interest rate cuts. In the latest meeting the Bank of England representatives did not see any members vote for a hike. USA500 – The SNP500 Rises to New Highs, But Cannot Hold Onto Gains! The price of the SNP500 rises to an all-time high, before correcting 0.33% and ending the day slightly lower than the open price. Nonetheless, the index performs better than the NASDAQ which came under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple which hold a higher weight compared to the SNP500. For the SNP500, these 3 stocks hold a weight of 9.25%, whereas the 3 stocks make up 14.63% of the NASDAQ. The SNP500 is also supported by ExxonMobil’s gains due to higher energy prices. The market will remain closed on Friday due to Easter. However, the market will reopen on Monday for the US and investors can expect high volatility. Investors will also need to take into consideration how the PCE Price Index and the changed value of the US Dollar is likely to affect the stock market next week.
