IN THIS THREAD: IronFist learns (the elusive) PRICE ACTION

Quote from IronFist:

Alright guys I'm using OHLC bars now instead of candles :D

First trade today. Awesome trend, LL, LH, entered on a pullback and then price started making HLs and HHs and I got stopped out.

edit - oh btw i don't usually have a fixed TP but this time it was the PP since price was so close.

why didn't you short on the other LH's after it broke down from the congestion area?
 
"I'm starting to monitor the movement of ES closer, and have switched to BAR charts since the last session. I find bar charts a lot cleaner, and this really helps when I'm watching 5 charts (4 for TF and 1 for ES). I can still see my stars and hammers and engulfing and haramis, so I'm really NOT missing my candles."

I don't trade YM but the area where you took your short corresponds to the 825-828 area on ES. See my attached 15min chart, it goes back about 4 days, and all the circled areas show you why this region is a pivot. Basically, almost every time price has encountered this region there's been some kind of disruption in the trend and indecision in the market, enough to be clearly visible on the 15min chart. I'm sure that the the same thing shows up on your chart at 7990-8010 or so. When you took that short you were "selling into" a major pivot. On my chart you see that we saw some support at the 826 area (YM ~7990), the move below that level was quickly rejected, and as it happened price bounced there again and started going up.

I'm not making a judgment about whether the trade was correct or not, just showing you that price does not just suddenly choose to reverse and take you out, but does so in a predictable way.
