Entry strategy
For the cautious investor:
Buy the stock for 24$ or less.

Nidec Corporation has no publicly traded option contracts, therefore the best way to take more aggressive action on this stock is to use an amount of margin to leverage the position thus multiplying the potential gains.

Exit Strategy
For the cautious investor:
Sell when the stock reaches 26.50$, or keep it until 27$ if the stock crosses the light resistance level.

For the risk-taking trader:
As for the cautious investor, the position should be closed when the stock reaches 26.50$. Since the use of leverage implies greater risk, one should keep in mind that there is still some potential downside left in the current trend of the price of the stock.
