Follow Rules:

  • ENTRY
    • Prior bar is Bullish Engulfing at key level
    • Prior bar volume matches price movement
    • Only take the best setups.  Try to trade only 1-3 trades a day.
  • RISK
    • Only allow 5-10$ risk on the table at a time
  • EXIT
    • Scale out of working trade at key levels (or if buyers dry up), adjust stops
    • Normally I exit when price stalls / buyers dry up / price moves lower then the prior bar's low. 
    • Ride the trend until it stops.
  • DO NOT TRADE IF
    • average range of bars are over 10-15 cents
    • if volume doesn't match the bullish bar
    • The spread between bid and ask is greater than 5-10 cents
    • There is chop and a wide range.  I want .40-1.00 max range.
    • Distance between key levels is below .30-40 cents, not enough oppurtunity.
