Trade Rationale

HD slightly beat earnings. Nothing special to write home about. But got punished anyway. The stock fell from $283 to $250 for no real reason. We are already seeing a green candle and just like with many other trades, things should snap back. All we are asking for is a slight recovery in the market next week.

Trade Selection Criteria

Overall market movement

N/A this is a post earnings trade. The individual stock’s price action is more important for these trades.

No Earnings or Significant News

This is a post earnings trade. Earnings were announced a few days ago.

Bollinger Bands outside Keltner Channels

Bollinger bands are clearly outside the Keltner Channels.

RSI Analysis

Although, this is a post earnings trade, RSI is now beginning to show some signs of a recovery

ADX Analysis

DI- is pointing down, giving us further conviction about this trade.

Trade Analysis

HD got dragged down further all the way down to $246 giving many of our members way better entry points than my own trade. But it quickly turned around to make a dramatic recovery. March was a brutal month for Nasdaq, and all these other trades that we took in stocks like HD, REGN, LOW etc gave us a helping hand in handling the correction.
