ODP Setup and Trade Plan

Today’s Featured Trade Idea is ODP.

Members can join us in Trading Room #1 as Rick reviews the ODP 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.

ODP has been in a Bullish trend since early April. After pullbacks in June and July, the Bulls resumed a strong rally throughout August (with a short consolidation for profit-taking along the way). Over the last week, ODP has taken profit again (forming a nice little Flag pattern) and then on Friday it printed a Morning Star signal.

I will look for an Entry above the highs of the last week with a Stop at Friday’s low (below Support). Targets were defined off the Weekly S/R levels and confirmed by Fib Ext. of the August Bull Run.

Trader Vision shows us that earnings are out of the way. It also tells us we have 6 Bullish conditions versus only 1 Bearish condition (the pullback last week) in the Setup.

TV20/20 then shows us that this plan will give us over 2:1 Reward/Risk at the 1st Target. However, if we can sell half at Target #1 and hold the remainder to the 2nd Target, we can achieve 3.5:1 ($500 / $143) Reward/Risk on a nice 13.46% profit trade.

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

Note how Trader Vision 20/20 does so much of the work for you.  Knowing the ratio of Bullish Conditions to Bearish ones as well as the overall risk of the position size, risk to Stop out and the Reward possible at each Target price can help a great deal with controlling our emotions.  Knowing the dollar impact of every scenario ahead of time, allows us to make calm decisions during the trade.  It really takes the pressure off.  No guesswork.  No surprises.  No emotional roller coaster.

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
