Iterative Refinement

Had trouble with this position in real time. Turns out the pennant in the dow broke out towards the upside. At the time I thought a pt 3 channel had formed towards the downside.

Could anyone comment on trading last friday's ES between 10:30 and 1:30.

Called on FTT on the ES 10:50 bar, entered long. Then the YM had inc. red PRV at 11:00, so reversed short.

Questioning my decision at this point, but even if I would have stayed long on the FTT, the 10:10 ES bounced off of the 20 SMA, and the YM had a breakout down on inc. red PRV - second chance at reversing short. The question "what comes next", inc. black PRV if I called the FTT correct did not happen.

But then I bounced around for the next two hours in what ended up as a two hour later channel, anyway seems to me. I kept reacting to spikes in PRV, only to have it retrace the other way, always finding myself on the wrong side of the lateral channel. Losing all the while.

Volume was still above dry up, but I really missed the boat during this time frame. Any words of wisdom, or how this would be traded would be appreciated.


Edit: Meant to say a three hour lateral channel !!

Could we trouble you for a chart of the offending time frame? :D

All I have is the charred remains of camtasia. Annotations disappeared along with my sim account.

Is that good enough ??
 
Thanks for the input Chuy and Haroki. Yeah MFLX had me sweating a bit this morning but exited with a small profit. Rotated it out for BHS hope it all works out. Thanks again guys.

My Telechart subscription just ran out and it was on an old card, so I can't resubscribe until tomorrow- gotta call them, so I'll do those then for any changes using TC and put them here.

Hello :)

I was wondering something. I am working my way through the first couple of journals again, and I was wondering if your FU would be suitable to replace my much smaller FU (I just started it last week), knowing that I am using Spyder's basic methods right now.

Absolutely.

These are the stocks that have made it into the FU, and continue to qualify with "rank" by cycling as laid out in the journal.
 
Haroki,

what would the higher high, lower low higher low, lower high info show you with regard to the Guassians? Are you simply saying the fact that the March 2 bar in ASIA has a lower high and a lower low means the stock is actually experiencing incr red and therefore a BO of a channel. Cause I have ASIA currently in a lateral movement starting from the large green bar several days ago. Just wanted to see what insight the bars are giving you. Todays bar is an Outside Bar but the stock still continues in the lateral.

Comments appreciated
