Longer Term Trading Plans for SMG

• Buy SMG near 85.99 target n/a stop loss @ 85.74. Details

The technical summary data tells us to buy SMG near 85.99, but there is no current upside target from the summary table. In this case we should wait until either an update to the summary table has been made (which usually happens at the beginning of every trading day), or until the position has been stopped. The data does tell us to set a stop loss 85.74 to protect against excessive loss in case the stock begins to move against the trade. 85.99 is the first level of support below 86.74, and by rule, any test of support is a buy signal. In this case, if support 85.99 is being tested, a buy signal would exist.

Instructions:

The rules that govern the data in this report are the rules of Technical Analysis.  For example, if SMG is testing support buy signals surface, and resistance is the target.  Conversely, if resistance is being tested, that is a sign to control risk or short, and support would be the downside target accordingly.  In each case, the trigger point is designed to be both an ideal place to enter a position (avoid trading in the middle of a trading channel), and it acts as a level of risk control too.
