Jun 07 2010

Chart wise, this is double bottom play (area market in yellow). However, finding an entry was a challenge, as confirmation level would give us too wide stop. For entry we found a little "setup within a setup" - look at out entry point and stop level closer and you will see that it's a little setup by itself - now zoom out again and look at it from the point of view of a bigger chart formation, that same double bottom.
Overall, that was a day of invalidation - one setup after another would invalidate before triggering. We got a few nice trades but the day left a feeling if "could have been much more."

[14:37] {Threei} breakdown or headfake

[15:17] {dino} issue is the ndx gap at 1796 imo
[15:17] {nemo} yeah, I watched order flow, big seller at 60, couldn't lift
[15:19] {nemo} I wonder if they'll hit the fire alarm?

[15:30] {Threei} look at it this way: we now have two more parties ahead,
[15:31] {Threei} for 10K and 11K
[15:31] {Threei} and if we are lucky to drop under 9K, three
[15:31] {jfjf64} 9k
[15:31] {RonS} ...or 9k and 8k...
[15:31] {jfjf64} hope
