TIE - 052306; 30-minute chart

posted by Trader-X:




A choppy day all around.

1.) What did I see?
A gap up and wide-range first bar. The second bar rallied to close above the OR high. The third and fourth bars narrowed in range and also closed above the OR high (bullish). The fourth bar was the narrowest range of the morning (NRM) and an inside bar.
2.) What is the entry?
A break of the fourth bar high.
3.) What is the exit?
1/2 was sold after $1 gain; the target for the remaining 1/2 was the Fibonacci extension of the previous day's low to the opening range high. The ninth bar left a long upper tail and closed weak - I saw it as a red flag and decided to take profits on the remaining 1/2 when price broke the ninth bar low.

Set-up grade = B+

X,

Since you're such a 24 fan, you might get a kick out of this.
