Cooper stocks usually exit on the 3rd or 4th day. Upon entry a protective stop is placed just below the low of the day before entry. Once the gain equals that risk, sell half the position and raise the sell stop to breakeven on the remaining shares. Use a trailing stop on these shares.
For example, assume I went long WHQ today once it hit 45.75 (yesterday's high was 45.71). Yesterday's low was 44.01 so the risk is 1.75. Add 1.75 to the entry (45.75 + 1.75 = 47.50). I'll sell half my shares at 47.50 limit; raise my sell stop to 45.75 on the balance; and use a trailing stop if WHQ keeps moving higher than $47.50.
In a bull market some traders wait for reward = 2X risk before selling half their position.
