- Primary Trend: Bullish (Price > 200 MA).
- Secondary Reaction: Price down 8% (less than 10%, so not a bear market yet).
- Confirmation: Wait for the price to break above the last minor swing high on the daily chart (the downtrend line).
- Entry: Place a buy stop order exactly 1 tick above that swing high.
- Stop Loss: Place it below the recent pullback low.
- Position Size: Assuming a $100k account (2% = $2k risk). If the entry is $100, and the stop is $98 (2 point risk), the position size is $2,000 risk / $2 risk per share = 1,000 shares.
- Exit: Hold until the Dow Theory gives a sell signal (e.g., Industrials fail to confirm a new high, or price breaks below a prior secondary reaction low).
