Looks like your target hit if you held? I use a DDF (Directional Day Filter) found in a trading book - one of those so many ignorantly say to not to bother with. It takes first 5 minutes trading average and plots for the first 60 minutes of the day. For currencies I use 2am-3am European open...

Found yer fortune ... digging for gold. :)

That can be said about many of his (any other trader) techniques. I've been trading TD Sequential profitable for 20+ years. And I'm surely not the only one.

When it comes to TL's I have two words - Tom DeMark. His technique is mechanical, reproducible, not arbitrary but is rules based, including qualifiers when to trade them and when to fade them.

Looks like a gap fill day.
