Trade Review – $CAT on July 17, 2023

Chart of $CAT stock

Before the trading week kicks off, I share my elite focus with the team, highlighting specific stocks to watch. One of our focus stocks was $CAT, with calls above $257.64 and puts below $252.74 as our triggers. 

On Monday, July 17, 2023, some of the room had eyes on $CAT because it was triggering our call target price. I preach risk management and instead of blindly jumping into calls, we waited for confirmation to make sure this was a solid trade idea. 

At 12:44 pm EST, an alert was posted, signaling the purchase of $CAT $260 calls expiring on July 21, 2023, at an average price of $1.60.

Trade alert

$CAT moved in our direction over the next hour and recognizing the opportunity to secure some gains, I took a partial sell-off at 1:22 pm, selling a portion of my position for $1.80. There was an individual in the group that made the trade their own and was up 76% on $CAT $260 calls.

 

Trim into strength

At 1:28 pm, I shared with the group that “$CAT looks great so far, making a nice push above the prior week’s high. Today’s primary focus is a close above $257.64.”

However, around 1:50 pm, $CAT began to reverse, and since I was considering it as a potential swing trade, I gave the trade idea some room to breathe. Nevertheless, it’s important to remember that each trader defines their own risk, and monitoring the VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) can be used as a stop loss.

As of 2pm EST, I am still in the trade, but I wanted to say congratulations to those in the room who managed their trades successfully! The ever-changing nature of the market reminds us to remain adaptable and vigilant in our trading endeavors.
