Re: Reading Charts in Real Time

This is where I see breakouts having the potential to breakout shown by the blue lines....if a breakout occurs based on what I see in S/R.

There may be a breakout, but I am NOT interested in any of these trades tonight for some reason. So this is a night I'll just observe.

On the Importance of Making Notes: The notes, taken properly will tell you what to do and where before price ever gets to wherever "where" is.
