Posted 7:15 a.m. The day opened with a 8 bar bear micro channel. However, the follow-though has not been strong. The entire leg down from yesterday’s high has had many bull bars, and it is therefore more likely a bull leg in what will become a trading range than a bear trend. A trading range […]

Learn how to trade a doji candlestick pattern
Posted 7:15 a.m. The Emini sold off on the open from above Friday’s high. Friday had a small range so today could easily trade below Friday’s low and form an outside down day. The selloff had 6 bear bars and was deep enough to make a bull trend day unlikely today. Because there was a […]
