KRON - 071006; 15-minute chart




I have discussed set-ups involving "offsetting bars" before - where a down bar that opens at the high and closes at the low is followed by an up bar that opens at the low and closes at the high (and has a similar range).

The KRON set-up is a variation - the fifth bar does not have the same range as the fourth, but it penetrates beyond the fourth bar's mid-point and closes strong. What makes it compelling is that the fourth bar closed below the OR low, but the fifth bar rallied to close back above it.

I sold 1/2 after $1 gain, and the other 1/2 when price hit the retracement zone of the previous day's high to the opening range low.

ADTN was a good low risk short on the break of 6th 15min bar low. Here are some of the nice features:
1) Gap below recent support
2) OR: wide range and weak
3) 2nd 15min bar: attempted rally
4) Bars 3-6: lower highs
5) 6th bar: NR, IB with weak close in vicinity of OR low
6) 7th bar: decisive take out of OR low
This produced a move to extension zone of previous day's high to OR low before finding support.
