That makes me feel soooo much better. I hate being on the opposite side of a trade from you! :)

Gotcha, thanks! I think that's what Anekdoten calls M-tops and W-bottoms. M- and W- differ from double tops/bottoms in that the retest fails early.

You've used the term "1-2-3" before. What do you mean by that? I'm unfamiliar with the phraseology. My short entry was also on a stop order, which I trailed up with the thrust because I didn't know where it was going to turn and didn't want to miss the move.

SS, I was watching for that thrust to get short when we broke out of the pennant continuation pattern on my 240T chart. Is that what you were seeing, too, or something else? Fib extension on that move was 1421.20 for the 61.8% and 1425.50 for the 100%, so I figured to get short somewhere in...

Your sell to close and my sell to open were one tick apart. Spooky! :)

Short at 1422.25 for the big one, small. I may be too early here, my preferred entry target was 1425.50

Told ya! :(

Has or will?

Poop! Stopped out at breakeven. Of course, now we go to 1420+. :)

Hehehe, great minds, etc. :) EDIT: I do think you meant 1414.50, not 1514.50. You always get better entries that I do.

Trigger pulled itself. I entered a limit buy order at 1410.25 at the open, and it got filled at 10:09 ET. Retested that level twice more at 10:20 and 10:35, then took off for the upside. Purely a gap-fill play. We've now retrace about 50% of that 10-point upmove. I'm waiting for a retest to...

Filled at 1420.25 for +10.00. Now flat and looking to go short.

Long from 1410.25, 2-point stop, looking for 10 points for a gap close, at which point (if it happens) I look to go short.

I don't understand your target calculation. Basis the cash index: Head = 1380 Both shoulders = 1405 Neckline = 1428 Head to neckline = 48 Is that the same IHS you're looking at? If so, isn't the target: 1428 + 48 = 1476? And of course, don't we need to penetrate above the...

Undoubtedly guilty as charged. :)

Crap! Sopped out for -2. I'm clearly out of the zone now, so I'm going to take a break and likely done for today. I'm positive on the day, but nothing to write home about.

If we're all looking at the same IHS, then its upside target has been met. Short here from 1422.75, small.

Don't know what you guys were seeing. I didn't see it, but you were right: just got stopped out of my short from 1413.75 for -1.5.

Finally filled at 1413.75, after missing my limit order three times. Small size so far.

Short from 1414.75, small but looking to add on if there's a lift. Oops. Closed out on a limit order I forgot about placing at 1407.50 for +7.25. Looking to get short once again on this pop.
