I traded off of 30 minute charts today because the session was choppy.ICE was a low risk long entry as price bounced from $134.00 support (blue line) and the rising 10 period MA on an uptick in volume. My initial stop was 10 cents below support and as each bar completed itself, I moved my stop accordingly. I was stopped out in the last half hour as price fell below the second last bar low.
Long MNST as price took out the high of the third last bar. Price had tagged the rising 10 period MA followed by a narrow inside bar - usually a solid base from which to catch a late day rally. I was hoping for a retest of the morning high, but it failed to take flight.
Both of these stocks are on my momo watchlist and both gapped up on the open, but neither were mentioned on Briefing.com's morning list of gappers.

Looks pretty good and QUICK. Friday I'll make the cut off at the end of the 1 min into the open. Then gap downs. If it's consistent could be a winner.
Sounds interesting BL. Thanks for sharing. I guess you'll be trading that kind of setup through a basket order.
