Thursday, December 2, 2010

Nicely profitable day with various trades and directions. See Catch of the Day below.


The trade is a classic double top formation. Let's go over elements (annotated on the chart) giving us the trade structure. First top is made on a high volume and the candle has upward tail showing rejection. Second top comes with much lower volume further shaping up the idea of the trade. Now we need clear trigger for entry - and that is indicated by the next candle establishing nice tight range between .70 and .80. Now .70 break becomes our short trigger with stop placed either above the upper envelope of this range or above the first top - in this particular trade the difference is mere 2 cents so it doesn't mater much which to use. Breakdown leads us into clean quick 1:2 risk/reward with no slightest attempt to jeopardize the stop.
