SRCL - 051707; 15-minute



SRCL presented a low-risk set-up on a break of the ninth bar high. The eighth bar crossed above the OR high, and the ninth bar printed a narrow-range, inside bar.

I sold when price hit the Fibonacci extension on the next bar...and I left some good money on the table. It happens some times, but price also reverses at the Fibonacci extension with great consistency (you can't always be perfect!).

Regardless, I am happy with .46 in less than 15-minutes.

note - SRCL also provided a classic "bread and butter" set-up...I don't trade them much anymore, but it is worth noting. Do a search (top of the blog) if you are not familiar with it...

Yes - I was giving suggestions/ideas for making a watchlist shorter. That was one of three.

Damn that thing exploded. I would have probably held it all the way back down though.

Five minute parabolic SAR would have kept you in longer. Pivot point R3 resistance from low on 05/08 was 90.29. High on 05/17... 90.30.
