Zooming into the 30 minute chart from that prior (June) example, we see how the narrow-range session provides both directional preference and setup locations. I’m not a fan of…
Let's examine a recent emini-Dow trade from Thursday 2nd July 2015 which resulted in only a partial entry. We'll look at my decision making and see if perhaps it could have been improved in some way, allowing for a full-size position. First, let's start with the higher timeframe to get some context.
