GG - 030206; 15-minute chart
The entry was a break of the fourth bar high - the fourth bar was a narrow range (NR3), inside bar that formed a nice hammer.
and, one that didn't:
RIG - 030206; 15-minute chart
Hindsight being 20/20, I would have preferred more bullish signs - an inside bar, higher lows...but, the loss was minimal as it was apparent with bars six-eight that price was failing just above the opening range high. That is why I always print this warning on entries below (above) the opening range high (low):
"as with any entry below/above a previous high/low (in the case of my charts, the opening range (OR) high/low), you need to watch for resistance/support as price approaches those levels. If it stalls, you want to exit. If it breaks through, the odds are good you will have a move to the corresponding Fibonacci extension."
