FIVE QUESTIONS
The first part of our Stock Charts and Analysis is to answer Five Questions about the stock
1. What is the present trend and how strong is the trend?
The stock appears to be reversing from a Downtrend as evidenced by a bounce from its 52-week Low and the stock establishing Higher Low bases. The bounce appears to be strong as evidenced by a 46.64 ADX.

4. Does the Trade Setup offer sufficient Risk/Reward ratio?
Yes, the Trade Setup offers sufficient Risk/Reward ratio.
5. Do we see any Trading Signal?
Yes. There is a Golden Cross of the 15 EMA and 20 SMA giving a Buy Signal. This is confirmed by the Golden Cross of the MACD.
We now present our findings and observations.
POSITIVE:
- Golden Cross of the 15 EMA and 20 SMA giving Buy Signal.
- Golden Cross of the MACD confirming Buy Signal.
- Price action above all Moving Averages indicate that the stock is Bullish Short-term, Medium-term and Long term.
- ADX above 30 indicates a strong Trend.
NEGATIVE
- NONE
After this, we identify the TRT CAZ (Critical Action Zones – Target Prize Zone, Buy Zone and Stop Loss Zone), use this as our basis for making our Trading Plan and formalize the Plan thru our TRT Swing Trading Worksheet.
TRADING PLAN
Target Price: P18.79
Buy Price: P13.50
Stop Loss: P12.55
Risk: (P13.50 – P12.55) = P0.95
Reward: (P18.79 – P13.50) = P5.29
Risk/Reward Ratio: (P5.29/P0.95) = 5.57 so 1:5.57
Trading Capital: P1,000,0000
VAR: 1% (1% x P1,000,000.00) = P10,000.00
Position Size: P10,000.00/(P13.50- P12.55) = 10,526.32 shares
Position Size adjusted for Board Lot: 10,500 shares
Total Amount Committed: (10,500 shares x P13.50) = P141,750.00
Trading Capital used is P1,000,000.00. This is scalable up if you have more or down even if you have only P100,000 or less.
Good luck on all your trades.
