Today’s Featured Trade Idea is MDCA.

You can read more about this trade in Rick’s blog post here.  Members can also see his detailed review in the trading room at 9:10am Eastern.  For now, here is my analysis and a potential trade plan made using our Trader Vision 20/20 software.

MDCA has bottomed and begun an uptrend over the last 2 months. It recently broke into a Rounded Bottom Breakout pattern. In the last week it has pulled back after a nice run-up and printed a Hammer and Bullish Engulfing signal the last 2 days.  I will be looking for a b/o Entry above recent resistance with a clear Target up where the 38.2% Fib Ext. and both Daily and Weekly S/R levels align (about $6.60). The second Target will be a bit higher at the 61.8% and Weekly resistance level (about $7).

TV20/20 tells us we have roughly 2.5 weeks until earnings on MDCA and have several factors in our favor. This plan allows us to take a relatively small position (2.23% of Account), risking $152 to the Stop and still gives the potential of 2.24:1 ($340) or 2.76:1 ($420) Reward/Risk at Targets #1 and #2 respectively. We can also see we can achieve the Trade Goal just 3 cents above Target #1.

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
