Today, I will explain my perspective on one of the most relevant commodities in the world.
After the price broke the current support/resistance level, we observed a 26% correction, and currently, the price has broken the structure.
We can observe the same behavior in the previous bull runs from 2007 to 2009 and 2010 to 2011. The sequence is a Big structure followed by a breakout followed by a correction (green circle). Any entry above that with a stop loss below the structure provided a great setup to gain exposure to the massive movements we can see on the commodity.
So the plan for me is still the same. The structure happened, the correction is about to be completed (green circle), and after this week, I will be setting pending orders on a new local high with a stop loss below the green circle and a target on 109.00
IF everything goes as expected, we can think of a 150 -200 days movement, and a risk to reward ratio of 3 (that means that for every dollar I'm risking, I'm aiming to make 3)
The risk I will be using for this setup is 3% of my total trading account. This type of risk management is because my system has a low execution rate per month, around 1 setup a month. On other strategies with a much higher execution rate, I may use 1%.
What happens if the price keeps falling and never reaches your entry-level? You cancel your setup, that simple.
And remember if you have a stop loss, this is part of the game; catching great trades requires to be stopped out, so don't think that a take profit is a clean profit, and a stop loss is an absolute loss. You should evaluate your system after several executions (in my case, at this execution rate, after 10-15 setups, I can observe a 50% win rate and an average risk to reward ratio of 2. Remember, trade like a casino.
