The Reward to Risk Ratio
by
Oliver Velez
The
following is an excerpt from Oliver Velez's Swing Trading Home Study Course
Once you have found a trade that meets the criteria that the strategy requires, what determines if you take the trade? What if there are dozens of these trades that you can find every hour that meet the criteria, but you are able to trade only four, or two, or one? How do you determine the best one?
One of the things you will do is try to find the best examples of quality in the trade you take. Naturally, all trades that meet your minimum criteria are not the same. The reward-to-risk ratio is another important thing you can look at to determine if you take any particular trade. The reward-to-risk ratio, or “RR” is the amount to be made from the entry to the target, compared to the amount to be lost from the entry to the stop.
Many traders will demand that the possible RR for a trade be a certain number, like three-to-one (going for a three dollar target with a one dollar stop), or maybe even much higher. Certainly you would not risk a dollar to make a dollar.
There is a tradeoff in the RR you pick. Very simply, though the high RR trades sound, and often are, the best, they have the lowest odds of being obtained. So, while going for three-to-one sounds better than one-to-one, if you get only the three-to-one trade right one in four times, you are losing money. If you get the one-to-one trade right two out of three times, you are making money. Naturally, the one-to-one trade will be easier to achieve. So you need to analyze every trade based on the RR presented, and the likelihood that you will achieve that RR consistently. You can determine your odds by tracking your results on a trade over a period of time to see how successful you are.
Let’s talk about a sample trade using the daily charts of CRDN and the intraday 5-minute chart of the last day on the daily chart. As you can see below, on the last day on the chart, CRDN gapped up. The play is set up properly, and would call for an entry either immediately over the 5-minute high, with a stop under yesterday’s low. This is the recommended entry and stop. The recommended management sets up certain odds for the play, and may be desirable because it is the best way to manage this trade, or perhaps it is best if it is going to be entered or managed while at work. Sometimes intraday traders find alternative methods of entering and managing the trade.

Earnings Report Trading
by
Jea Yu
The
following is an excerpt from Jea Yu's
Trading Full Circle
Nothing affects a stock price more than its quarterly earnings report. These are pre-planned events. Fortunes can be made and lost in minutes trading these moves.
Recording Galvanized Price Levels
Preparation is the key here. This takes no more than a few minutes. Analyze the daily, weekly and monthly charts and note the following levels:
- Daily 50- and 200-period moving averages
- Weekly 5-, 15-, 50-, and 200-period moving averages
- Weekly upper and lower Bollinger bands
- Monthly 5-, 15-, 50-, and 200-period moving averages
- Monthly upper and lower Bollinger bands
Make specific notes on any of the above levels that overlap within a 0.20 range. The wider the time frame, the more significant the price level. If any price level overlaps 3 or more times (including the sticky 2.50s and sticky 5s), that is a galvanized support or resistance level to which you should pay extra attention. These galvanized levels are where you want to pay the closest attention.
