I read through the entire ...Good to see you back x. I read through the entire blog a couple of years ago and just recently started to review it. Your style is straight forward and really speaks to me. <br />As far as the blog helping or hurting others, I would say it helped way more than hurt (if you can even say hurt). Everyone who has ever tried trading knows it is risky. People are responsible for their own actions. Not you. You were gracious enough to put your technique out there for anyone to try out and adapt. For that you are appreciated.<br /> <br />Anyway here we go:<br />In the immortal words of trader X,<br />What did I see?<br />A gap down but three strong wide range bars blowing through alot of resistance(yesterdays close, ema, etc, etc.) Contraction in bar 4(nr4), a hammer in 5 all in the top of the opening range, and finally a breakout.<br />What was the entry? Probably a break of the 5th bar high or maybe the opening range set by the 1st three.<br />What was the exit? Somewhere up top. Maybe 1/2 close after a $1.00 gain and let the other half ride. If your still operating that way.<br /><br />Let us know X.
