Hey Trader,


Ultra-High Volume At Supply Triggers Sell-Off, Massive PROFITS Captured


In this post, I want to share a recent trade that we took inside the Big Energy Profits Program, focusing on how the Hawkeye Volume Indicator played a critical role in our decision-making process.


The trade was on Plug Power Inc. (PLUG), and I believe the details of this case study will provide you with valuable insights that can enhance your own trading strategy.


The Setup: Analyzing Plug Power’s Price Action


Let’s dive into the daily chart of Plug Power, traded on the NASDAQ.


What caught our attention was a period of consolidation followed by a sharp price move that presented a potential trading opportunity.


Our focus was on the price action around October 11, 2023.


On this day, we observed an unusually high selling volume that didn’t lead to a new low.


This high-volume activity at a critical area of consolidation was a red flag.


It suggested that sellers were stepping in aggressively, but buyers were unable to push the price above the consolidation zone.


This failure to break higher despite strong selling volume indicated a potential downside move.


The Trade: Executing the Short Position


Based on our analysis, we entered a short position at $7.35.


The high selling volume and failure to close above the consolidation area were key factors in making this decision.


We set initial profit target at $6.25, a level we reached fairly quickly, locking in a 15% gain.


Our strategy involved managing the trade dynamically.


After hitting the first profit target, we moved our stop-loss to the entry point to protect our position. This approach allowed us to ride the trend while minimizing risk.


Risk vs. Reward: A Strategic Approach


At the time of entry, our risk-to-reward ratio was nearly 2:1. This setup gave us confidence in the trade, knowing that we had a favorable probability of success.


As the trade progressed, we continued to manage our position, ultimately taking additional profits when the market gapped down, offering us a nearly 50% gain.

The Outcome: A Successful Trade with Room for More


To date, we’re still holding a portion of this position, which is currently up almost 73% as it approaches our final profit target.


The market's behavior—particularly the price gaps that often occur in high-momentum trades like this—has worked in our favor.


Our decision to take profits incrementally and adjust stops as the trade moved in our direction has been validated by the market action.


As of now, we’re just 16 cents away from hitting our final target. If the price continues to fall, we’ll analyze further to determine if there’s potential for additional gains.


Key Takeaways: The Power of Volume Analysis


This trade was driven by one fundamental concept: understanding the relationship between volume and price action.


By recognizing the significant selling volume at a critical point of consolidation, we were able to position ourselves for a highly profitable trade.

CFTC RULE 4.41 Hypothetical or simulated performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.

IMPORTANT NOTICE! No representation is being made that the use of this strategy or any system or trading methodology will generate profits. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. There is substantial risk of loss associated with trading securities and options on equities. Only risk capital should be used to trade. Trading securities is not suitable for everyone.

Cryptocurrency Trading Cryptocurrencies on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for everyone. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before getting involved in Cryptocurrency trading you should carefully consider your personal venture objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial deposit and therefore you should not place funds that you cannot afford to lose.

Hypothetical Results Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations - unless noted otherwise that an image or any material discloses live money was used, results displayed or openly discussed are to be assumed simulated for educational purposes only. No live money brokerage accounts will be traded or displayed by request or otherwise.  Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs, in general, are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.

ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.
