Quote from Trader.Fighter:

That was your mistake. Most of the bar tails created in charts happen like this.

not sure what you mean...I use the 1600 tick chart...don't really focus on single bars. On a tick chart it just whooshes then moves along

Bars that snap, long tails, wicks.

Hammers, inverse hammers, long legged dojis, things of that nature.
 
Quote from RichardRimes:

I got bit. Was watching my charts and when it went down it was so sudden thought there must be something to it and sold...almost at the lows...went to bed ...tossed and turned and sure enough when I got up had to cover at (probably) the highs.

This week will be volatile no question but moves like that often do portend what will happen down the road...almost like someone clearing the books.

It was a stop run, a.k.a robbery. :D
 
Quote from murrica:

thanks Ammo -- short term contrarian point of view is (bullish) falling wedge on russell futs 4hr/8hr, 6J sitting right at downtrend line 9.745, therefore possible rally in equities from down here (at least the russell?) with a bit more upside on USD/JPY before the real move. trends breaking sometimes a fakeout followed by huge shakeout, followed by the full move.

no guarantees of course, just looking at alternate point of view/scenario that would provide a more favorable sell point possibly up to fed this week. would guess that if this point of view is wrong, it might be wrong in a very bad way. just concerned media is too openly bearish, thus suspect rally to retest/shake the tree before tank. also known as bear "hope" due to missing entry on friday's roll.

[/QUOTE wish i had listened,have a character flaw where when it gets close i wait for that last drop ,not often anymore but it's still there
eur jpy has a gap above http://i.imgur.com/HtU5byI.png and the shorter term is squeezing into the end of a rising wedge, and the nikkie charts from last nite if they work to the bottom of that bell , its the 144 area,

Ya long red body at the lows (signalling the selloff) then harami plots and you get your confirmation up, at least on that time-frame.
