The main focus of our trading strategy is to achieve financial gains by buying and selling undervalued stocks during the current quarterly earnings cycle. Preferably trading should be carried out during the last 2 weeks before the earnings announcement. Because the earnings announcement is the official statement of a company's profitability, the days leading up to the announcement are often filled with speculation among investors.
The stocks we are going to trade were discovered through their fundamental indicators and metrics and recommendations given by research analysts, and are considered to have great growth potential in the current quarter. Only stocks that meet these conditions will be eligible for trading.
We will trade based on a technical analysis tool defined by a set of trend lines called Bollinger Bands® in conjunction with significant and well-known technical indicators. Using this technique we will consider the lower band as support and the upper band as resistance.
Below are described step by step the conditions that must be met for each of the technical indicators for buying and selling stocks.
