Play: wait for a flush below 174.44, then buy the reclaim back above 178.83. Stop = the flush low (173.35 actual). No reclaim, no trade — full plan below.
How to play this (plain English)
The setup: QCOM sold off hard into a tested support zone at 174.44–178.83. The trade is the flush-and-reclaim: wait for price to dip below the zone intraday (the flush), stabilize, then climb back above it (the reclaim). The reclaim is the entry — you're buying the moment sellers who broke the level have been absorbed. If price undercuts the zone and keeps falling, there is no trade; you never buy the knife.
| Entry | 178.83 (≈ the zone top — the reclaim level) |
| Stop | 173.35 (the actual intraday flush low) |
| 1R | 5.48 — entry minus stop. This is your unit of risk; every profit is measured in multiples of it. |
| +2R target | 189.79 |
| +3R target | 195.27 |
| Size | Risk 0.25-0.50% of the account (the regime dial). Shares = (account × risk%) ÷ 1R. Example: risking 0.25% with a 5.48 stop distance → shares = 0.0025 × account ÷ 5.48. |
Exit logic: if the trade rolls green-to-red back through the zone after entry, that's the FAILED signal — exit at the stop, lose 1R, move on. Winners typically run 4–8% over 3–10 days; sell partials at +2R/+3R and trail the rest. One losing trade costs 1R; the math works because winners are multiples of it.
