BOOT broke the recent downtrend by putting in a nice J-hook that broke up through and held the 50sma. It printed a Trader’s Best Friend signal yesterday.  However, when laying out the trade in TV20/20, we see that we cannot get the 2:1 I require at Target #1 without drawing that pink line and believing that support will be enough to warrant a tighter Stop. If you can see that, this trade lays out nice with Fibs and Weekly S/R levels aligning well.

TV20/20 showed us that even though there were a lot of things to like about this trade, unless we can really justify that tighter Stop (see video), this trade would be a pass. With that tighter Stop, it can give us 2.4:1 (only $240) Reward/Risk at Target #1, but 3.65:1 ($365) at Target #2. We can also see that the stock must reach $25.50 to achieve our Trade Goal.  This analysis allows us to analyze whether we think the tight Stop and run to well past Target #1 are realistic and make a well-considered decision with a cool head. We certainly see we cannot chase an Entry on this one at all.

Testimonial

Trader Vision immediately simplified the process…immediately it provided that information and guidance to me. I knew what I would risk for how much reward, I began taking trades off at the 1st target, 2nd target, I was no longer holding all my trades for the homerun. I also began implementing the stop losses if and when they were reached, not just hoping the stock would recover.  It then became easier to see what patterns were working for me and which were not.  It provided a much more relaxed and stress-free environment. –Joan G
