Prices gapped open on the next bar and raced higher. I covered costs on twenty-five lot by selling a five lot, and pulled my stop to breakeven. I aiso got tilled on my Ross hook fifteen lot, and covered costs for it by selling another fjve lot. When 1 covered costs on my (ifleen lot, prices were still moving up. I moved my protective stop up to cover half the profits on my twenty lot. While 1 was at it prices moved up a tad more, and I protected my ten lot. Within seconds, prices started to race back down,

This market was now, by my definition, in congestion. I had four cioses within the price range of the bar Ive marked with an "x." The lower limit of the congestion is bar number 2, which is also a Ross hook. The upper limit of congestion is bar x, also a Ross hook

I was Slopped out and had to wail during almost the entire fiext bar to find out where my fills were. I had dumped twenty contracts al a 20 point prolit, and ten contracts at a 1 5 pomt profit. I also tad to take a restroom break while I waited (or {he phone lo ritig. Once the broker called witft my price, I was able to place my order above the new Ross hook.

Once again i was long a twenty-five lot wilh a stop 5250 away. I was able to cover wiih five contracts at 2 ticks. That put me 5100 to the good. I was in the market at 37735; i covered at 37745. Tho market moved to 37755, so I fivoved my stop up to 37740 so as not to lose on the twenty contracts J had left.

I was also long a fifteen lot at 37750, with my stop loss for those contracts $250 away at 37700 f had covered costs early with two ticks, just in case prices didnt c)ear ihe Ross hook of three bars earlier. 1 also wanted to be in the clear on costs for this set in case 1 breakout of the Ross hook was filled.
