How to Day Trade for a Living A Beginner’s Guide to Trading Tools and Tactics, Money Management, Discipline and Trading Psychology ( PDFDrive )

Example of an ABCD Pattern.
ABCD Patterns start with a strong upward move. Buyers are aggressively buying a stock from
point A and making constantly new highs of the day (point B). You want to enter the trade, but
you should not chase the trade, because at point B it is very extended and already at a high
price. In addition, you cannot say where your stop should be. You must never enter a trade
without knowing your stop.
At point B, traders who bought the stock earlier start slowly selling it for profit and the prices
come down. Still you should not enter the trade because you don’t know where the bottom of
this pull back will be. However, if you see that the price does not come down from a certain
level, such as point C, it means that the stock has found a potential support. Therefore, you can
plan your trade and set up stops and a profit taking point.
Let’s take a look at Ocean Power Technologies Inc. (ticker: OPTT) at July 22, 2016, when they
announced that they had a new $50 million contract to build a new ship (There’s a fundamental


catalyst! Remember Chapter 2?).
The stock surged up from $7.70 (A) to $9.40 (B) at around 9:40 a.m. I, along with many other
traders who had not heard the news, waited for point B and then a confirmation that the stock
wasn’t going to go lower than a certain price (point C). When I saw that point C was holding as
a support and buyers wouldn’t let the stock price go any lower than $8.10 (C), I bought 1,000
shares of OPTT near C, and my stop was below point C. I knew that when the price went
higher, closer to B, buyers would jump on massively. As I mentioned before, the ABCD Pattern
is a very classic strategy and many retail traders look for it. I purchased stock between points B
and C. Close to point D, the volume suddenly spiked, which meant that traders had jumped into
the trade.
My exit would be when the stock made a new low, which was a sign of weakness. As you see,
OPTT had a nice run up to around $12.
Let’s look at another example, this time for SPU on August 29, 2016. There are actually two
ABCD Patterns. I marked the second one as 
abcd pattern
. Usually as the trading day progresses
volumes become lower and therefore the second pattern is smaller in size. Please note that you
will always have high volumes in points B and D (and of course points b and d in this example).
