Green hammer on the 15-min chart, I'll buy it any day
5-min breaks down as such; entry off the break of the 15-min hammer bar's high, exit as resistance. Second entry based on inverted H&S, exit at 100% projection of the initial wave
The setups I include on this blog are used in conjunction with the 3/10macd and the criteria I ascribe to it as a way to alert me to an existing condition of price. The key concept to take away from this blog is that I try to anticipate what will happen on the higher time frame by using a faster time frame to trigger the trade setup. I do not trade a "system" I use two indicators to clue me in to price conditions. Please read the Disclaimer located in the sidebar of this site. I can be contacted via email at toddstrade@gmail.com
I am always open to questions, comments, or suggestions on how to improve this blog.

to watch
Worth keeping an eye on this descending triangle in MON
and potential Head & Shoulders pattern in MEE

quiet day
The only thing I traded today was MON. Two shorts, one for about 45-cents the other for 20-cents.
The first short trade was an "Avalanche" setup (Not that I'm recommending you buy it, you could just ask me about it :) Price found support at the 50% retracement of the opening range. Couldn't really expect more out of it with such a strong impulse off the open and strength in Ag. names today.
The end of day was a scalp following a big sell order. Had my sell short order in at $62.09 (a low volume node) and pulled it 30-min before it tagged $62.09 and large volume sent it back to vwap. Live and learn.

Talk My Book
For the case of MON short
First the weekly:
A Falling Three Method Candle pattern and the past week was rejected from a 2x momentum bar
Doing some Fib. Projections;
-Measuring A to B and projecting off of C to get a 50% projection.
-Measuring C to D and taking the 50% projection and
-Taking a 100% extension of C to D we get a confluence of resistance that was quite thoroughly tested. While eyeballing a support level $62 area was a fair resistance point previously:
On the Daily we have:
-A bear flag
-Strong volume on the sell-off
-3/10 macd signaling a first cross sell signal (4c criteria).
Below price we have the 200-day MA and a 50% midpoint from a 2x momentum day, right around the $62 level.
Adding some Fibonacci projections:
A-B-C 100% extension
C-D 50% projection
D-E 100% projection
All converge at the 200-MA & 2x momentum bar midpoint at the $62 level.
