Trade that Got away 11-Oct-2006

by Gav Leave a Comment

I saw an opportunity for quick scalp. That was not a dummy trade, and that was why I left it out. After opened with a gap down, NQ gathered strength again. I was watching it closely when It closed above OR(opening range) and Fib extension. This shows some positive signs to me. Possible entry would be above the high of 8th narrow range candle.

  • Long above high of 8th candle
  • Exit at Fib extension 161.8%
