IDCC - 050406; 15-minute chart

posted by Tom C:

IDCC was mentioned earlier - the second bar was strong, closing at it's high and the opening range high. It rallied to the Fibonacci extension where it promptly reversed.

Tom,
Why wouldn't you have traded TXU 2nd bar b/o vs IDCC? It had a 1st bar hammer then a solid green. IDCC had indecisive 1st bar, 2nd bar solid green minimum tail. Could sy the same thing about DBRN 2 bar b/o.Also do you use market orders, limits, or buy stops?
Thanks,
BL

re: TXU on 5/4 - I don't see what you see. It gapped down and I saw no reason to ever get long.

The 2nd bar in IDCC closed stong at it's high, and in the top half of the first bar's range. It was a good set-up.

re: orders - I use all types

Tom,
I was referring to TXU b/o on 5/02 as a similar set up to IDCC 5/04.
