VLO - 21 months ASCENDING TRIANGLE══════════════════════════════ Since 2014, my markets approach is to spot trading opportunities based solely on the development of CLASSICAL CHART PATTERNS 🤝Let’s learn and grow together 🤝 ══════════════════════════════ Hello Traders ✌ After a careful consideration I came to the conclusion that: - it is crucial to be quick in alerting you with all the opportunities I spot and often I don't post a good pattern because I don't have the opportunity to write down a proper didactical comment; - since my parameters to identify a Classical Pattern and its scenario are very well defined, many of my comments were and would be redundant; - the information that I think is important is very simple and can easily be understood just by looking at charts; For these reasons and hoping to give you a better help, I decided to write comments only when something very specific or interesting shows up, otherwise all the information is shown on the chart. Thank you all for your support 🔎🔎🔎 ALWAYS REMEMBER "A pattern IS NOT a Pattern until the breakout is completed. Before that moment it is just a bunch of colorful candlesticks on a chart of your watchlist" ═════════════════════════════ ⚠ DISCLAIMER ⚠ The content is The Art Of Charting's personal opinion and it is posted purely for educational purpose and therefore it must not be taken as a direct or indirect investing recommendations or advices.

Valero Pipeline // BTFD Thesis: This is a trade made by Senator Thomas Carper last month. Upon reviewing and doing my research, it seems the volume of one of the pipelines in the gulf of Mexico controlled by Valero Energy has has a significant increase in volume. Looks like a bullish year ahead for Valero! Here are the levels I will be interested in. Please note that this is a preliminary research and you should continue to do your own research (DYOR). Information about assets can change rapidly, and it's essential to stay updated with the most recent developments. Notes on how I personally use my charts/NFA: Each level L1-L3 and TP1-TP3 (Or S1-S3) has a deployment percentage. The idea is to flag these levels so I can buy 11% at L1 , 28% at L2 and if L3 deploy 61% of assigned dry powder. The same in reverse goes for TP. TP1: 61%, TP2:28% and TP3:11%. If chart pivots between TP's, in-between or in Between Sell levels these percentages are still respected. I like to use the trading range to accumulate by using this tactic. Just my personal way of using this. This is not intended or made to constitute any financial advice. This is not intended or made to constitute any financial advice. FED Macro Situation Consideration: All TP's are drawn within the context of a return to FED neutral policy. I do not expect these levels to be reached before tightening is over.

3 important criteria for quantitative trading!Jim Simons said: "We have three criteria: If it's publicly traded, liquid and amenable to modeling, we trade it." This quote is from an interview with Simons in 2000. The three criteria he mentioned are the basic requirements for any asset that Renaissance Technologies would consider trading. Publicly traded means that the asset can be bought and sold on a public exchange. This allows Renaissance Technologies to gather data on the asset's price movements. Liquid means that there is a large enough market for the asset so that it can be bought and sold easily without affecting the price too much. This is important for Renaissance Technologies to be able to trade the asset effectively. Amenable to modeling means that the asset's price movements can be explained by a mathematical model. This allows Renaissance Technologies to predict the asset's future price movements and make informed trading decisions. Simons' quote is a good summary of the quantitative investment approach that Renaissance Technologies uses. This approach is based on the idea that financial markets are not completely random, but rather contain patterns that can be identified and exploited by using mathematical models. Renaissance Technologies has been very successful using this approach. Its flagship Medallion fund has generated annualized returns of over 35% since its inception in 1988. This makes it one of the most successful hedge funds in history. The quote from Jim Simons is a reminder that quantitative investing is a complex and challenging field. However, it can be very rewarding for those who are successful.

Valero Energy Could Be Holding SupportOil refiner Valero Energy fell sharply in recent weeks, but dip buyers may see opportunities. The first pattern on today’s chart is the price area between about $126 and $130. VLO chopped at these levels in August before surging to an all-time high in September. It’s holding that zone again, which may suggest it’s become support. Second, the price area matches approximately a 50 percent retracement of the rally between this year’s low and high. Third, stochastics are rebounding from an oversold condition. Next, VLO hit a two-month low on Monday before reversing back into the range. The resulting “hammer” candlestick could be a bullish reversal pattern after the preceding drop. The simple moving averages (SMAs) also give potential signals because the 50-day SMA had a “golden cross” above the 200-day SMA in early September. Prices are additionally now trying to hold the 200-day SMA. TradeStation has, for decades, advanced the trading industry, providing access to stocks, options, futures and cryptocurrencies.

Fundamental & Technical analysis of Valero!Valuation: VLO is currently trading at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 4.3x, which is below the industry average of 15.9x. This suggests that the stock is undervalued. VLO's price-to-book (P/B) ratio is also 1.1x, which is below the industry average of 1.4x. This suggests that the stock is also undervalued on a book value basis. Profitability: VLO has a strong track record of profitability. In the most recent quarter, the company reported earnings per share of $8.45, which was up 54.7% year-over-year. VLO's return on equity (ROE) is 25.1%, which is above the industry average of 11.5%. Growth: VLO is expected to grow its earnings per share by an average of 10.5% per year over the next three years. This growth is driven by the company's plans to expand its renewable fuels business and its focus on efficiency improvements. Dividend: VLO is a dividend-paying stock. The company currently pays a quarterly dividend of $0.90 per share, which gives it a dividend yield of 3.05%. Risks: The main risks to VLO include: Changes in oil prices: VLO is a refiner, so its profits are sensitive to changes in oil prices. If oil prices fall, VLO's profits will also fall. Increased competition: The oil refining industry is competitive, and VLO faces competition from other refiners, both domestic and international. Regulatory changes: VLO is subject to a variety of regulations, and changes in these regulations could impact the company's business. Overall, VLO is a well-run company with strong fundamentals. The stock is undervalued, and it offers a good dividend yield. However, investors should be aware of the risks associated with the oil refining industry. Technical indicators: The daily chart for VLO shows that the stock is trading above its 200-day moving average, which is a bullish signal. The stock is also forming a bullish pattern called a cup and handle. This pattern is often followed by a breakout to the upside. Price forecast: Based on the technical analysis, I believe that VLO has the potential to reach a price target of $150.

VLO Reversal Pattern - Pump to $127🐂 Trade Idea: Long - VLO 🔥 Account Risk: 1.00% 📈 Recommended Product: Knockout / Option 🔍 Entry: +/- 116.75 🐿 DCA: No 😫 Stop-Loss: 107.99 🎯 Take-Profit #1: 127.09 (75%) 🎯 Trail Rest: Yes 🚨🚨🚨 Important: Don’t forget to always wait for strong confirmation once possible entry zone is reached. Trade ideas don’t work all the time no matter how good they look. Do not get a victim of FOMO, there is always another trade idea waiting. 🚨🚨🚨 If you like what you see don’t forget to leave a comment 💬 or smash that like ❤️ button! — What we see here is a typical reversal pattern. We gain the 114 level downward but fail to hold it and gain the 114 level again in an upward movement which is also the former lower low. If you’re more of a break out trader you can trade this setup directly long with a target at 127 and a stop-loss at 108. We’ve held this level for six days so far. If you want to make sure the trade is safer wait for a re-test around 116-114 and trade the long after a strong rejection. If you prefer the re-test make sure to put your stop-loss to 111-112 because you don’t want to see more downward pressure from that point on. — Disclaimer & Disclosures pursuant to §34b WpHG The trades shown here related to stocks, cryptos, commodities, ETFs and funds are always subject to risks.
