This was a really exciting 15 minutes. There were two trades that I felt really good about taking, AND they were in opposite directions. That is big for me actually because I seem to get stuck if I take a long and win (or vise versa) it difficult to take a trade in opposite direction.
The Yellow is setting the scene
Green is trade 1
Blue is trade 2
The long I didn't get the full 1:1 (although I could have knowing what I know now) because I got slippage and the Strike level looked like a good place to take profits. I liked that it was starting to sweep the highs, and that was also a reason that I took profits quickly. during the trade another RBR formed so I moved my stop to the bottom of the base but my target was quickly hit after that.
Since I was playing the sweep forming I was able to see that indeed a sweep was possibly setting up short. I was confident after the full setup RBD and 4 bar Striker Setup on the south side of the Strike level. I stretched my target out because I already had a good day. I targeted the lows of the bodies of the range to the left. As soon as 19,820 was passed I moved my stop to just above, but the target again was quick to hit.
