Earnings Swing Trade Alert : PLTR

Hi there,

This is earnings week and stocks will likely make big moves - either up or down (I honestly don't know which way). But here's some news: PLTR just released earnings and is up 23% in pre-market. I rate this as a B+ Swing Trading Setup. Here's why:

Why it's a great setup:

  • Breaking out to all-time highs

  • SUPER GROWTH stock

  • Part of the HOT AI trend

  • Rule of 100 working in our favor

    • When a stock passes a round number like 100, it tends to keep running up from there

Why it's not quite an A+ setup:

  • We prefer to see earnings surprises over 100% for the best earnings swing trades

  • Earnings growth is slowing down (bad sign for a growth stock)

  • PLTR is jumping out of an 8-week base—we usually like to see longer bases!

Trade Plan:

  1. Risk Level

    • Don't risk more than 0.4-0.7% of your account

    • We save our bigger positions for A+ setups

  2. Selling Strategy

    • Simple approach: Sell when it closes below the 10-Day EMA

    • Better approach:

      • Sell 1/3 at first target

      • Sell the rest at second target

Quick Update: I'm working on some helpful handbooks that I'll start including in these trade emails over the next 1-2 weeks.

As always, please manage your risk carefully and trade according to your personal strategy.

Best regards,

Valentine
