Jamie,

Would you look for a Dummy setup on these NR7's, or would you look for some other trade?

Yes, these are generally more volatile, but I still like to look for a low risk entry on the 15 minute timeframe.

How did you narrow down your list to only 3 nr7 candidates?

Thanks!

XO,

I'm just starting to trade these NR7 bars on the daily timeframe and I'm still developing the criteria. Today I was looking at NR inside bars. I was also looking at HANS, but didn't post it to the watchlist because it wasn't an inside bar.

Any ideas in this regard would be appreciated.
