How do you go about trading this new pattern ?


Paul

Well, thats what were here to find out:)

Seen it a number of times now and have noticed that price is ejected out of the pattern in quite a violent manner. It's as if there is some kind of pressure building internally.

Ok best get hunting for more examples.
 
I'll take a look at it after I take my siesta.

:)

So, based on previous sightings, all the price pressure seems to be upward hence the price slant. Here's what i took out of it, leaving plenty on the table.

one entry would have been when it cleared the high of the very long red bar. You would look for it to then close the gap.

I wouldn't have drawn the channel lines as you have them, CV. Too messy.
Most charts and instruments look ugly this week.

Yeah, they ain't sposed to be channel lines as such...just highlighting the body of price action and angle of same.

175/5 exit 12166
160/5 exit 12172

I played the first one (the one in your first chart) this afternoon so to speak. I took the set up on ES (very similar look but better in my opinion), but the lower spike was a nice bullish outside bar looking at a 15 minute chart. I got in at just over 1288 and out just below 1300. This was after getting a small profit short on TF earlier. That put me just over 20% for the month (not counting compounding).

Check the ES chart and see where it hit before reversing quite sharply. Yes, I am a trading genius and yes, my schlong is long. :)

I guess there's a lot of profit taking and covering going on today. Would you want to be holding shorts over the weekend with the announcement that's coming?

I wouldn't hold longs over the weekend either. WAY too much risk either way for my taste.
