Execution Timeline

How the position was managed

The presentation focuses on decision quality, not only the final return.

1

Identify Value

$34–$35

Recommended an initial position after identifying a favorable upside-to-downside setup.

2

Protect Gains

Near $50

Reduced approximately 30% as the stock rallied, locking in gains while maintaining exposure.

3

Add on Weakness

$35–$40

4

Exit at Target

Around $60

Closed the position after the price objective was reached, completing the trade cycle.

Why It Worked

A process built around discipline

Entries, partial exits and re-accumulation are managed against predefined price zones.

Position sizing, invalidation levels and portfolio exposure should be documented before the trade is initiated.

Published performance should be supported by timestamped alerts, exact fills, weighted cost, fees and brokerage records.

Trade-management principles

✓Defined entry zone: The position was initiated inside a predetermined price range.
✓Scaled profit-taking: A partial reduction lowered risk without abandoning the thesis.
✓Pullback discipline: Additional exposure was added only when price returned to the planned zone.
✓Target-based exit: The remaining shares were sold near the stated objective.
