Since picking Dolby and Arch Capital stocks for long trades, Friday Three Line Price Break trading system suggests short-selling Coherent (COHR) stock in case COHR shares trade below Thursday’s low at $52.57. The signal includes a red candle printing a new 4-day low, following three green successive candles in the box chart.
If the signal is confirmed by a new low and resistance level at $55.15 holds, maybe the 3-month uptrend will come to an end. $52-55 area has acted both as support and resistance level before for Coherent stock. 
What could the future bring for COHR stock? Perhaps a downswing to $40 or a breakout to all-time high at $65. But that doesn’t really matter, since according to the strategy the stop loss should be placed at $55.20 protecting our capital and the profit target needs to be placed just at 2 times the length of the red candle, that is at $48.50. If traders sell short at $52.50, the reward-risk ratio of this trade comes down to 1.5 – 1. Of course we may scale out and only trade out half of the position at the first profit target, willing to gamble on a stronger downtrend.
Disclaimer: I’m long DLB, ACGL and plan to initiate a short entry at COHR within the next 48 hours.
