Sick as a dog today. Going to try and hang in here.

ADX above 30 from last Friday.

First bar today made a low lower than all the run on Friday.

There is clear divergence.

This bar looks like the first up bar so going to go long at 8:40 if low is not taken out.

Keltner range is 5.9 so stop loss is 2.00 pts.
 
PM:

Do two bars in a row with identical lows/highs meet your requirement for a higher low or lower high; or, does it not count toward a setup if it simply match's the prior bars high/low?

For example, the 8:40 and 8:45 ct bars have an identical bottom of 989.75 for the ES. However, technically speaking that is a match low and not a higher low.

Thanks in advance.

There would have to be a new high/low not a match.
