Short term trading Strategy
The trading strategy involves taking a long position with careful allocation and predetermined entry and exit points. Considering the stock's current momentum and technical setup, entering at $17.00 capitalizes on the break above recent resistance, aiming for a profitable exit at around $31.741. This exit takes advantage of anticipated gains driven by positive sentiment and potential catalyst realizations. A stop loss at $12.973 mitigates downside risks in case of adverse movements, ensuring that risk is managed effectively. The strategy involves committing 15.7% of your $10,000 equity into this trade, buying approximately 92 shares, which balances exposure and allows for a prudent 1:3.66 risk-reward ratio, maximizing potential profits against acceptable losses.

sundsvallson : at that trade size, is it worth bumping up to an even 100 shares and writing a call option?
GreenCave Trades OP sundsvallson : I don’t know I never practice options in trading that’s just theoretical aspect not exact science I always follow my own risk management strategy like cutting loss quickly, beting small , avoiding slippage , taking profit not too late only if I am disciplined etc
sundsvallson GreenCave Trades OP : the magic of 100 lots is selling OTM calls.... pure profit and the booked income can offset initial stock purchase price. can pick shorter duration options for more volatile tickers, although if you're doing it right, the worst that happens is your shares get called out for a profit at a level slightly below market
GreenCave Trades OP sundsvallson : I hear you whatever I am not interested in option strategy right nowadays I only like to do buy and sell
