Figure 59 0829. I should have been ready to take my profit on the Swiss Franc that day, and also to buy the upside breakout of the ledge. Im not saying whether the trade wouid have worked out, because I didnt make it. But 1 want to point it out because I want this to be a truthful book.

But, because I did take a third look the next day, I was ready when prices came crashing down through the ledge, I was short the market at the bottom of the ledge, and out 3 days later at the open as prices gapped up past my stop.

Figure 60 On 0814, the weekly Bean Oil oscillator had been pointing up for three days. The daily oscillator had corrected but was not yet oversold.

1 placed a buy order above the high at 1836. The next day was an inside day, so I left my buy stop in place while the daily oscillator corrected some more.

The following day, the daily oscillator reached oversold, and so 1 moved my buy stop above the high of that day.

Another day passed, so I moved my buy stop down another notch. By this time both oscillators were pointing up.

Ive marked as "b" the places where I attempted to buy.
