Well, all my wife’s singing and cheerleading were to no avail as the Bears lost. Two trades today, managed like the Bear’s defence yesterday. I did enjoy the game though. Trade 1: GANNETT CO INC (NYSE:GCI)
Trade 2: BE AEROSPACE INC (NasdaqGS:BEAV)

GCI- why wasnt the 4th bar you’re trigger even though it ended being a long wicked top even though the trade worked out?

@ Pete,
The 4th bar was way to wide to execute off of. You are right about the wick on the 4th bar being a warning, and I was aware of the increased risk. It closed green though. The difference between the 4th and the 5th is that the 5th bar CLOSED very near the 30 min O/R high(opening range high). The close of a candle is very, very important. The 5th bar is also hammer-like. When a trade consolidates sideways, or pretty much sideways, off of a gap, you can consider it a bull flag of sorts. Also, even though the 4th bar had a tall wick, it had an uptick in volume. Hope this helps.
