  • Risk Warning: Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results or future performance. All trading is high risk, and you can lose more than you risk on a trade. Never invest more than you can afford to lose as some trades will lose and some trades will win. Start small to understand your own risk tolerance levels or practice on a demo account first to build your knowledge before investing.
  • Trading is not suitable for everyone. Trading is highly speculative and carries a significant risk of loss. While it offers potential opportunities, it also involves high volatility, and leveraged trading can amplify both gains and losses. Retail investors should fully understand these risks before trading.

Trading Strategy Example: Chevron Corp. 

The following trading examples are for educational purposes only and do not constitute investment advice. Investors should conduct independent research before making trading decisions. An example trading idea for Chevron’s share price could be as follows:  

Entry: Break above post-earnings high at $157.40
Target: Just below the highest analyst price target at $204.00  
Risk: Small, maximum 5% of the account 
Timeline: 1-12 months 
TRADE EXAMPLE  
Buy 10 Chevron Corp. Shares: $1,574 (10 * $157.40) 
If Target Reached: $466 potential profit [($204.00 - $157.40) * 10] 
If Target Not Reached: Let's say a trader decided to close the trade below their entry price, at the lowest analyst price target at $158. This would result in a $6 profit [($158.00 - $157.40) * 10] 
Invest.MT5 Account Commission: 10 shares * $0.02 per share for US stocks = $0.20 (Triggers Minimum Transaction Fee of $1.00) 

Remember, markets are volatile, and the stock price of Chevron will fluctuate and may even trend lower. The company’s profitability is highly sensitive to oil and gas prices, and a sustained decline in energy markets could weigh on the company’s earnings.  

Furthermore, the energy sector is exposed to geopolitical risks, operational disruptions, and evolving regulations, which may affect production, costs, and overall performance.
