Frankly, the question could pertain to any timeframe, just depends on the entry. So, looking at my entry in yesterday's BA trade my answer would be no - the stop was not too wide. How do I know? Well, I look at the closing price of my entry bar compared to the high low spread. If it's within the 1-1.5% range of the closing price... then it's just fine. I use this criteria for all my entries.<BR/>Plus, my entry bar in yesterday's BA trade was perfectly positioned with the low being below the ORH giving price room to pullback and bounce off the ORH if it had to.<BR/><BR/>For me, I find NR entries very tricky and tend to widen my stop to avoid being stopped out on a quick spike down. It's not an exact science but anticipating a stock's move to resistance or support when setting your stop could make the difference between a losing trade and a winning one.<BR/><BR/>As for your other question regarding narrow range bars and low volume. The answer to your question depends on where all the action is happening... at least for my tastes. Generally, a narrow range bar that forms on low volume (the bigger the volume difference from the previous bar the better) is a sign of a pending move. Now, where the NR bar forms is what determines the odds of where that pending move will go. If it forms right below or above the ORH, is an inside bar and is touching a rising 5ema... I'm putting my money on an up move. Granted... the previous candles on the chart would have to conform to a good pattern as well. <BR/>In the case of BA... there were seven straight up bars in a row starting with the bar prior to my entry and ending with the NR, inside bar with a long upper tail right at the fib. ext. Also, looking at the upper tails forming on the bars as they approach the fib. ext. tells me that price is finding resistance there. The 'cojones' part would be convincing myself to deviate from the norm and short a strong stock with an entry bar that's above the 5ema. However, take at look at the 10-min chart. Notice the big run up to the fib. ext. Then, what do you see forming during the 12:20 candle? Yes, that's a picture-perfect hanging man (but still above the 5ema). If I hadn't have been stopped for losses on my other two trades yesterday... maybe I would've had the cojones to make this one. But, I didn't want to risk the gains I had made already in BA.OONR7https://www.blogger.com/profile/17622886234639917711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325562478910773152.post-25757226078808826902008-04-09T21:04:00.000-04:002008-04-09T21:04:00.000-04:00nice chart. beatiful how it PB;ed to Support off o...nice chart. beatiful how it PB;ed to Support off of the fib exyension. i may be taking a sababtical from biz to trade FT. we'll see.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325562478910773152.post-5048941004427816282008-04-09T20:39:00.000-04:002008-04-09T20:39:00.000-04:00AMAG.. i rest my case.AMAG.. i rest my case.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325562478910773152.post-82327777628454641742008-04-09T17:59:00.000-04:002008-04-09T17:59:00.000-04:00Very nice indeed.

Do you find that using the 15min timeframe your stop is a bit wide?<BR/><BR/>Im guessing your 'cojones' trade would have been to short the NRB on low volume? What significance do you place on a NRB with low volume. Does it mean that steam is running out? Couldn't that mean it is just consolidating before making another breakout?<BR/><BR/>I was always under the impression that a NRB on very high volume is signaling the end of the move. <BR/><BR/>Would you mind elaborating on this subject.
