What is a Stage Analysis? Learn here
Stage Analysis is a method to identify the stages of a stock's trend. It is recommended to start a long-term position in stocks attempting a Stage 2 breakout, which may start a new uptrend.
How to manage these trades?
To manage these trades, it is important to consider the charts on a weekly timeframe, which means at least 3 to 4 quarters should be considered for the setup to materialize. If the stock remains in a Stage 1 base formation, do not sell or cut loss even if it retraces back to support.
If a setup breaks its Stage 1 support level and ends two consecutive weeks below its previous close, it is advisable to sell and book losses.
If the stock rebounds from the support level, it is a good idea to do dollar cost averaging (DCA) on the same trade and buy more. The rule is to add a new position near the support level if a stock ends two consecutive weeks above its previous close.
Do NOT try to catch the bottom.
It is important to note that a stock in a Stage 1 base can resume another Stage 4 decline.
We at Alpha Investor does not recommend holding a stock in Stage 4 decline.
