Trading Plan for the breakout on ARKK - Statistical Approach

Long

AMEX:ARKK   ARK Innovation ETF
Today, we will explain our trading idea on ARKK.

What are we observing right now? The price is inside a descending Wedge pattern (106 days correction), and we are observing possible signs of a breakout happening soon. We can see a clear support zone that the price could not break, so we expect a bullish movement towards the next resistance zone at least.

How are we planning to trade this movement? We are waiting for 4 daily candlesticks, at least on the edge of the wedge pattern. (Currently 3) After that, we will set pending orders above the structure, and we will wait for a new local high for an execution. The optimal scenario would be to see a retest of the white curve.

Ok, but why did we chose 4 daily candlesticks and not 7 or 9? Good question, smart guy. Let's take a look at the next chart

Here we have defined ALL the corrective patterns that were ABC clear structures with a duration higher than 50 days at All-time highs level. The conclusion is that after we have the first breakout attempt, we observe a 4 to 8 days correction (daily candlesticks on the edge of the broken pattern) and a new local high as an execution level has been working really well to provide Great setups with huge risk rewards ratio. OF COURSE, the setup failed several times, this is a statistical approach to taking setups, and we should be open to a new fail here. However, our approach is taking good bets in terms of Win rate and R/R ratio. (this means taking several setups to start observing an edge)

The risk we are planning to take on this setup is 1% of our setup, move our stop loss to Break-Even on the next resistance zone, and we will look for a 1 : 10 R/R


Thanks for reading!
