Based on my analysis of the daily timeframe chart of Hindustan Unilever, it appears that the stock has recently broken out above a strong resistance zone that has been tested multiple times. This presents a potentially good opportunity for a swing trade.
For entry, I recommend going long at the open of the next candle. However, it is prudent to enter with only half of the desired position size initially, as many breakouts tend to fail. If the price pulls back to the flip zone and finds support before resuming its upward movement, we can add the remaining half of the position size. It is worth noting that sometimes the price does not pull back, which is why we are entering the trade with only half of the desired position size right after breakout.
Regarding the stop loss, I suggest placing it below the resistance zone with a buffer to mitigate the risk of getting stopped out too early.
As for the target, I recommend aiming for a 1:3 risk to reward ratio. This means that for every unit of risk taken (i.e., the distance between the entry point and the stop loss), we are targeting three units of potential profit.
