January 22 - MTB


Although MTB gapped up (it was in my gap up list), it sold off furiously and by 10:30am price made it below the PDL. I knew it would retrace at some point so I placed an alarm in my eSignal software at $36, which was a bit below the previous day swing low of the afternoon. Price touched that line and printed a bear candle (kind of like a cloud cover but not really), so I jumped in. Exited at exactly the 38% fib extension (draw it from the PDH to PDL).

Nice trade Anarco! It is interesting how fib and pivot levels sometimes line up. If you have the Pivots on MTB, your 38% Extension is S2. I love when that happens.

I actually have PPs on my 15min chart, but I just remove them before I post so the charts are not so cluttered.
Yes, the fact that 38% fib and S2 lined up gave me more confidence to exit.
The weired thing is that I never saw the capitulation volume in the second leg down, but maybe the sellers were exhausted from the initial thrust.
By the way, I really like your JEC trade today. Congrats!

Nice fade the 2/15 IB break too.

Definitely bl!
2/15 was much better entry than mine.
