Trading Idea:
Note: This is a 100% Technical Pick.
COMS had a breakout of its descending resistance line last month, volume was big, and the stock performed a throwback retesting the breakout zone. During the past month, COMS has been consolidating inside an Ascending Triangle pattern, volume has been decreasing, and this setup looks solid enough for me to put some money here.

Mid Term chart:

Last Friday COMS retested the short term ascending support (base of the triangle), enabling us to have a nice risk / reward ratio to setup a technical position at these levels:
Support near $4.90 (2% downside), Resistance at $5.20 (4% upside), and a potential breakout could put a target in play near $5.80/$5.90.
This is not a powerful trading idea, but I'd like to test it with 6.6% of our portfolio, the risk will be low, as I'm planning to use $4.80 as a stop level... let's do it.
Trading Plan:
Buy COMS today at or near the open. (Use $4.80 as a stop for this position)

I'm doing the same thing. Stop at 4.70. Because I only bought 1/2 position at 5.00 and another half today at 4.78, I can certainly give it a little more room. GL.
still in. posting the chart.
dogi today.

Maybe it's time to bounce up,but i'm not optimism.
Because In the consolidate period ,you can see the up day's volume is less and less,but the down day's volume is increasing slowly.I don't think it's a good sign.
keeping my stop at 470
just missed it on friday printing 471.
doesn't look promising . i expect it to hit my stop tomorrow, >:(
stopped out 470 >:(
