Some good opportunities already this morning...IDCC and EXPD off a break of the second bar high are just a few. Post your trades and thoughts.

Hi Chris (or others),

Can you critique SAPE for me? I got in on the break of the second bar high and got stopped out 2 bars later. Was there anything that I missed before entering? It seemed like a solid setup (gap up OR that closed up, 2nd bar formed a nice hammer, NR2, and closed above the OR high), but for whatever reason just didn't work.

Shorted BG on break of 7th bar low. Tgt was LOD, but I pulled out early on first expansion bar down. Shorted VPHM on break of 4th bar low, covered at O/R high. Hope all of you had a good day. I have learned so much from the trades being posted here...thanks!!

4th bar in CECO was very bearish, and made a great short. Tommy

I don't know that I am a good person to ask, but...it actually looked good and probably just didn't work. If you have Pivot Points on your charts, it reversed at R2 just FYI.

Thanks Chris,

I actually meant Tim C, but thank you for your response nonetheless!

Hope everyone had a good trading day.

re: SAPE, I think was a good set-up...just one of those that does not work. But, you should have been able to get out with minimal pain as that third bar was a red flag, and fourth bar was a hanging man. It just stalled out...

Sorry I killed your name Tom C,

THanks for your analysis Tom. I should have jumped ship, but decided to weather the storm. The result: -1R (stopped out). Oh well.

GPK was a nice % gainer for me.
