NY Equity markets open!

may be something will move... but this M1 setup on EU and EJ demanded to be traded. It now has a bad red candle. BUT SL is only 5 pips. I accept this risk, yep, no big deal...

Immy,

your EG shows something, that I see very often and is one of my biggest uncertainties.
At time of the dot, the M1 alli is wide open on the wrong side and I can't see AO being close to ZL.
You seem to never care about M1 Alligator ???? ( little provocating, I know ;) , most of your setups look like this ( alli and A0 on the wrong side ) - just in case you speak of S! setups. Do you ?

Or better :
What do you mean by setup ???
- S1/2
- classic
- 34SMA ?
Could you please explain ?

I like discussions! so firstly thanks for the post/question.

The setup looked nice because there was a clear 3 down, supported by freshly broken and openned gator on h1. M1 was a Class S1 but honestly I saw that after the trade had already triggered on M5.
S1 = on your current Time Frame Gator is sleeping. And I would call it sleeping if the lines are NOT Open, or intertwined or just inside a Tight Box.
Classic = S1 without looking at purple but essentially S1 is a classic Setup.
34SMA = Similar to S1 but here you only have 34sma inside a Tight box. whenever that happens, AO will ALWAYS have, naturally, either a fresh cross of very close to ZL. If price is close to 34, AO will automatically be close to ZL.

I hope this explains something otherwise fireaway!

ps: EG has hit TZ1 and did not retrace so far so my Q now is, do I take profits, or take half or wait for retrace and wait for close on green... I do have a red BDC which could exit me now. but I'm still in.
