Hybrid 10-Step Trading Strategy Review
(Each step scored out of 10 based on trade alignment with strategy.)
Step 1: Identify Market State & Trend Context - Score: 6/10
- MAC remains in a corrective phase after a prior uptrend.
- Failure to hold above moving averages suggests continued selling pressure.
- A reversal setup is not yet confirmed.
Step 2: Assess Price Position Relative to Key Levels - Score: 7/10
- Entry at ₱5.58 was near the 200-MA (₱5.31) but failed to hold.
- Price is now testing the lower range of the pullback zone, increasing downside risk.
Step 3: Power Bars & Retracement Strength - Score: 5/10
- Bearish candle with increased volume confirms stronger selling pressure.
- Price needs a strong green candle above ₱5.30-₱5.40 to validate a reversal.
Step 4: Entry Confirmation Based on Retracement Levels - Score: 7/10
- Entry aligned with a logical support level, but price closed weak.
- A retest of ₱4.96 is possible if no recovery occurs.
Step 5: Tactical Stop-Loss Adjustments - Score: 9/10
- Stop-loss placed below ₱5.00 ensures controlled downside risk.
- Break below ₱4.96 invalidates the trade.
Step 6: Color Change as a Secondary Confirmation - Score: 5/10
- No clear bullish color change yet.
- A green candle above ₱5.40 is needed for confirmation.
Step 7: Profit-Taking Aligned with Retracement Targets - Score: 8/10
- First target: ₱5.80-₱6.00 (short-term resistance).
- Final target: ₱6.33-₱6.50 (major resistance).
Step 8: Re-Entry at Secondary Retracement Pullbacks - Score: 6/10
- Re-entry near ₱5.16 may be possible, but a breakdown below ₱5.00 negates the setup.
- Another opportunity exists above ₱5.40-₱5.50 if strength returns.
Step 9: Tactical Position Management - Score: 7/10
- 1/2 position deployed, leaving room for scaling if price stabilizes.
- Further exposure should only be added above ₱5.40-₱5.50.
Step 10: Counter-Trend Trades Only When Retracement Fails - Score: 5/10
- Not a counter-trend trade, but weakness below ₱5.00 signals the need for caution.
- Price needs to reclaim ₱5.40 to justify holding the position.
๐ Overall Strategy Score: 65/100
๐ Summary: Trade entered at a reasonable support zone but failed to hold, requiring immediate risk management decisions.
Final Trade Assessment
Trade Rating: 6.5/10
✅ Trade Execution: Entry positioned at a retracement level, but breakdown occurred.
✅ Risk Management: Stop-loss at ₱4.96 ensures controlled downside risk.
✅ Profit-Taking Strategy: First target at ₱5.80, scaling out at ₱6.33-₱6.50.
✅ Position Size Strategy: 1/2 Allocation, keeping flexibility for re-entries.
Next Steps
๐ Monitor price action near ₱5.16-₱5.30. If MAC holds this level, consider holding the position.
๐ Watch for weakness below ₱5.00. If momentum weakens, consider cutting losses.
๐ Look for re-entry opportunities. If MAC retests ₱5.40 and holds, consider adding more shares.
๐จ Conclusion: Trade No. 5 remains weak unless MAC reclaims ₱5.40-₱5.50. If price fails to hold above ₱5.00, an exit is necessary to minimize risk. ๐จ
