Description

Determining the right entry points. Many systems give signals only late,
but there are ways to respond earlier. In this video we discuss
two practical strategies: breakout at highest point en buy near support.
With practical examples (Chevron and Hormel Foods).

What we cover

• Why determining entry points is important: trend-following systems vs. active approach.
• Two strategies: breakout at 52-week high, or entry at support.
• Examples: Chevron (breakout) and Hormel (support).
• Practical filter: stocks with stable performance and clear levels.

Step-by-step approach

1. Apply filter. Select stocks with -10% to +10% performance over 3, 6, and 12 months.
2. Determine levels. Look at 52-week highs and lows as logical zones.
3. Breakout strategy. Entry at close above resistance with follow-through.
4. Support strategy. Entry on bounce at 52-week low.
5. Check examples. Chevron around high, Hormel around support zone.
6. Follow up list. Keep an eye on multiple candidates for opportunities.

Key Points: Determining Entry Points

• Two entry methods: outbreak and support.
• No guarantees: always take failed setups into account.
• Filter helps: limit to stocks with stable price movements.

Common pitfalls

• Blindly buying at lows. Support may still break.
• Breakout without confirmation. Wait for lock above resistance.
• No exit plan. Without stopping, emotion takes over.
