I did not find a lot of opportunity on Friday. Here is a trade I did take, and it is another example of the "U" set-up I have talked about recently.
The entry was below the OR high, so X's standard disclaimer applies*. It was a lower priced stock, and the % return was around 3%. Note the reversal as it tagged the Fibonacci extension.
*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.

Hi, you said "if it stalls, you want to exit". How do you define stalling? I've tried to trade similar strategy if find it difficult to define when we have a situation where we should exit when stay on in hope of the price breaking above.
JM, look through the charts here and I think you will find good examples. In general I look for long tails, failure to get above the halfway point, narrow bars, and it just taking too long.
Hope that helps.
