European Debt: An Elliott Wave Perspective

Stock Trades

The trades below are all trades that were released via our trading service.

Account Size: $100,000
Maximum Risk per Trade: 1% or $1,000

  1. Share size is calculated based on the maximum risk per trade
  2. Stocks that gap beyond the entry price will not be played
  3. Stocks hitting the stop price prior to hitting the entry price will not be played unless otherwise mentioned
  • ex.  Costco Wholesale (COST) – Short @ $43.99 with a Stop @ $45.50 and a Target of $40.50
    • Share size = $1,000 ÷ [45.50 (Stop) - $43.99 (Entry)] = 662
    • Max Loss = $1,000
    • Target Profit = $2,310
    • Reward/Risk = 2.3/1.0

The share sizes do not necessarily mimic my swing trading account as I use a sample $100k portfolio for simplicity sake. If you want to track my live trades you can do so here at Covestor.com.
