    Techniques for Day Trading the ES, NQ, YM, MES, MNQ, and MYM

    Look at the context PATTERNS. Range? BO? Channel? Context=what phase the cycle is in on those TF's (5 min..15..30..). In any phase there will be red and green candle sticks. I could make it more confusing for you but I am not sure you can bear it. Maybe later on. Suffice it to say each candle...

    Actually I would have more of a bearish view. While price broke out of the top of the channel and has FT the larger context (long bear channel) has influence over this sideways movement it now is in. The sideways may end up bear being a bear flag and price continue down. Also because of the...
