$CVS Finally Breaking Out?

398
Back on April 6, 2023, I posted a CVS chart as it was looking like a breakout then and I started a small position. It quickly failed the that day, and I was out. Fast forward to yesterday June 1 and I determined it was breaking out of the long term down trend again, so I added a starter position. It’s following through today, so I’ve added more and brought it up to a half-sized position. See my notes on the chart. This may be an actionable name “if” it fits with your trading style. My stop is tight. I will close out if it closes below yesterday’s low ($68.05). This is about a good as risk reward as I have found for awhile now.

(As a side note, the downtrend is a stage 4 it is unlikely that it will flip to a stage 2 right away. I’m simply looking for a trade and will close out if it starts to stumble, hopefully with a nice 10% to 15% gain or more.)

Ideas, not investing / trading advice.

Thanks for looking. Constructive comments welcome.
Trade closed manually
After averaging up and building up to a 3/4 position, I closed this out for a small loss. Still on my watchlist. In this market I have gotten to the point of closing out positions that start to turn my P&L red. If this turns to the upside, I'll likely open another "new" position.
Note
Gotta admit folks, I let my emotions rule this trade and did not stick to my stop loss, I sold well before that. Here we are just over an hour after selling and CVS has recovered to go green on the day. Let my failure be a lesson for you too. Follow your trade plan. We set it up and made the plan prior to the trade for logical reasons.
