Today’s Featured Trade Idea is WETF.

Members can join us in Trading Room #1 as Rick reviews the WETF setup and other Trade-Ideas at 9:10am Eastern.  For now, here are my own analysis and a potential trade plan made using our Trader Vision 20/20 software.

Trader Vision told us that we have just less than a month prior to the next earnings.  So, while the chart itself might call for a 3-Target trade, we may not have time to achieve this prior to earnings.  As a result, I have planned this trade two different ways.  Fortunately, TV20/20 makes it easy to do various scenario plans.

WETF has been in a long-term downtrend. However, after forming a bottom for 6-7 weeks, the Bulls have stepped in to begin a rally that has lasted several weeks so far. Last week it broke into a Rounded Bottom Breakout pattern and on Friday it completed a Morning Star type signal.

I will be looking for a positive trading Entry, using a Stop basically at the 50sma along the bottom of the last 3 candle bodies. If it goes back below that point, I don’t want to be long this chart. Targets are defined off long-term charts, but you can see how they have provided S/R on the daily chart as well.

While the chart calls for 3 targets, based on obvious S/R Levels, we may not have time to reach all 3 prior to earnings. Fortunately, Trader Vision makes it easy to plan multiple scenarios. So I will show both 2 target and 3-target plans.

Trader Vision shows us we have about a month until earnings. It also shows us we have 4 bullish conditions (I’ll call that 5 because it is close enough for a Morning Star for my eye) and 2 bearish conditions. This is as expected since the long-term downtrend has not reversed yet and the overall market is still in a short-term pullback.

TV20/20 tells us the 2-Target plan can achieve 2.88:1 overall ($402.50/$140). It also says WETF needs to reach $9.20 (10-15cents above target #1) in order to make the goal on this trade.

In this alternative version of the trade plan, TV20/20 tells us that if we can reach all 3 targets, we can have an almost 11% winning trade. It shows us that selling in a 200/200/100 pattern we can achieve $461 in profit while risking that same $140.

Obviously, this is predicated on a big move in the 1 month we have prior to the next earnings. However, it stays in line with the rule of getting better than 2:1 at the 1st Target and this plan can achieve 3.29:1 overall.

Having this knowledge before a trade is even entered makes it much easier to control emotions and maintain discipline.

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
