This week, we initiated a cautious buying strategy for OLLI as it retracted to a strategic entry point, referred to as the low cheat for those who have read the Minervini books.
THE BUY The buy signal was activated on February 20th when its price surpassed the peak from February 16th. Although our entry price at $79.18 was slightly higher than anticipated, we limited our purchase to a quarter of the planned position, setting a stop-loss at $72.30, which equates to a risk of 8.64%.
FOLLOW THROUGH ACTION After the stock remained within the range of the breakout bar for a couple of days, it began to ascend, prompting us to increase our stake at $81.84. Consequently, we adjusted the stop-loss for the entire position to $73.80. Our strategy of gradual investment as the stock moves in our favor has allowed us to hold a half position with an adjusted average risk of 8.28%.
Analyzing the chart, a decline to our stop-loss level would suggest an unusual market behavior, indicating a potential misjudgment in our timing. Ideally, the stock would stabilize around $83.20, enabling us to escalate our investment to a full position while minimizing risk by adjusting the stop-loss.
Our proactive and incremental buying approach positions us advantageously, allowing for early entry without necessitating the formation of a handle. Despite an incomplete Stage 2 subsequent confirmations have reinforced our initial purchase decision.
