I just threw this one on here, it's just a tad late but what do you see? After reading the thread...tell me what you see. Why did I take the order?

CJ
a "W" :D

They can be at angles right, as in both bottoms on a gradient?

CJ
Is there an indicator that will mark the candles when this spread widening happens? If it happens and a pin bar forms it should indicate a reversal - might be a heads up for a trade...
I don't use indicators so I don't know...

extended period of accumulation (ranging consolidation), move up, spread (range) widens in both directions with a pin at the top to trap traders long, then rapid reversal to trap traders short, price accelerates back up to levels of the first top and pin, with a wide spread bar - bingo - enter short with a tight stop just above the previous top

Wouldn't that indicate that you anticipate price to go up!?!! ... :o

is it not that the price has now grabbed the longs and will drag them to their demise?

So you wouldnt think the last 3 (1h) candles is a bullish flag?

Maybe an "M" forming on the 5 min right now?

"W" indicates a BUY on the 2nd leg up...that trade has past.... ;)

Hi Angat

Hmm, I am thinking (and could be wrong) that the bullish flag is what the fox wants you to see...

My thinking was that the last swing low was higher than the previous, so their is a lack of shorts for the fox to devour...so she has pushed price higher to trap more longs, only to pull price down to get their stops.!
mate I am very much only a learner as well...so my theory could be all wrong :roll:

You're getting a lot hotter. The "M" is visible on the 15M as well....this is Asian and price ranges....there could be a pin to the high later when the spread widens.... lower than the previous pin.... but it will be London before we know for sure....
