Once the third segment has broken out. I consider trulh to be (hat Im in 3 new trend. As far as 1 was concerned, S was now in a downtrend, despite the doji finish of the last price bar. This concept is vital to my trading.

I was stopped otn of all twenty five contracts at 377 . My loss was

$2025 including costs. Prices had now formed a Ross hook, stop below the hook.

pfaced a sell

did not place a seJI stop befow the correcting bar because I needed 2 ticks {ton points} lo cover costs between the point of the hook and one tick fjelow t:hc correcting bar.

When Ifiere is not Gnoi jgfi room to cover costs. I lelrain from taking tfie trade.

PricRs madct a doji on next bar, so I placed a sull stop ondnr it jos[ as it was closing. This was the second bar of correction.

I pfnccd n sell stop thnro because if i were to be fiiled 1 lick below the low, there would be enougfi room for me to cover costs by ttie time I reached the point of the Ross hook.

When prices rnade another doji, I cook! clearly cooot four out of the last five bars in contjestion, vith tfie last four closes within the price range of the fourth bar back. I canceled the sell order under tiie previoLJS bars low, but 1 kept a sell order under the Ross fiook. f also placed a buy order above tfie siTiall double top made earlier. My chart looked like tEiis:

The downtrend v/as no longer mtact. I was looking at congestion. The oss hook forrried Pie lov*/er limit of the congestion, and tfie smail double top formed the upper limit. A breakout of eidier would give me a tra(iing entry.
