Caterpillar (CAT)

BUY signal the week of 1.3.12 at $95.76. My first stop was $75.13, so my risk (R)/share was $20.63. Stopped out the week of 4.30.12 at $98.44. The percentage gain on this trade was +2.8%, and the reward-to-risk ratio was +$2.68/$20.63 = +0.13.

Similar to Akamai Technologies earlier, at one point this was a +21.1% gain before I gave most of it back. At least I managed to keep a few dollars this time.

History (beginning in 2003):
Winning Trades: 6 | 85.7% | +$15.56/share avg.
Losing Trades: 1 | 14.3% | -$6.62/share avg.
Average Trade: +36.1% | +$12.39/share | Reward-to-Risk (R): +1.41
