Gapper Bear Flag - Barrick Gold Corporation (USA) (Public, NYSE:ABX)

ABX from my WL, gapped down on the open near the lows of its recent daily trading range. It formed a bear flag over the course of the morning. A slow mover, but it eventually got the job done.

ESRX formed a C&H, or so I thought. I entered as price broke R2. It started out well, but then came the retest after which I expected it to move like a C&H should move. But no, it stalled and I decided to partial out at the 25% Fib. extension of the ORL to the base, and move the stop to BE.

Jamie,

I saw both of these setups today - between meetings and after the fact. Notice that the optimal entry points came shortly after 30m IBs.

Hey Jim,

Thanks for pointing that out. Guess I should be looking at 30 min. charts. I just get a little impatient waiting for a 30 min. bar to complete itself.
