catalyst! Remember Chapter 2?).
The stock surged up from $7.70 (A) to $9.40 (B) at around 9:40 a.m. I, along with many other
traders who had not heard the news, waited for point B and then a confirmation that the stock
wasn’t going to go lower than a certain price (point C). When I saw that point C was holding as
a support and buyers wouldn’t let the stock price go any lower than $8.10 (C), I bought 1,000
shares of OPTT near C, and my stop was below point C. I knew that when the price went
higher, closer to B, buyers would jump on massively. As I mentioned before, the ABCD Pattern
is a very classic strategy and many retail traders look for it. I purchased stock between points B
and C. Close to point D, the volume suddenly spiked, which meant that traders had jumped into
the trade.
My exit would be when the stock made a new low, which was a sign of weakness. As you see,
OPTT had a nice run up to around $12.
Let’s look at another example, this time for SPU on August 29, 2016. There are actually two
ABCD Patterns. I marked the second one as
abcd pattern
. Usually as the trading day progresses
volumes become lower and therefore the second pattern is smaller in size. Please note that you
will always have high volumes in points B and D (and of course points b and d in this example).
