I should mention that I'm not in this trade...I saw it too late unfortunately...

Update: Looks like the EJ found resistance at the last breakdown point. It has offered a second opportunity to get in.

Update2: I've moved my stop. I may be being too aggresive with my stops today...
Oh well...stopped out...maybe I moved my stop prematurely. We'll see.

I realize I'm basically entering on one swing degree, then moving my stops based on a smaller one...might be something I should work on...

Re: Reading Charts in Real Time

I was in exactly the same trade as you Cory, and got stopped out in exactly the same place!

(Although, I'd probably hesitate to go long just a few ticks below that breakdown point like that...)
EDIT: Looks like the long would have been a good decision, though. Oh well, I'll live.
Like I said, didn't take this, but it looks like I didn't miss out on much. I probably would have been stopped around BE.

I have a feeling that's it for me today. I'll be monitoring the charts for a little while longer, though.

Haha. Maybe not...

I've attached the 30 second chart as well, to illustrate how sudden this downmove was...

Re: Reading Charts in Real Time

Just watching this one as time of day and US Holiday wouldn't encourage me to trade it.
