Hi Puddles! Haven't looked at your thread for a while, but just checked in and this X trade from yesterday caught my eye. The setup on that chart usually results in a measured move from the last breakout. Since the breakout from the 54.40 zone to the 55.00 zone was .60, assume a breakout of the consolidation flag will very likely be a similar move in the same direction. I try to give those kind of breakouts extra room to run!
