Previous Session Review

For yesterday’s session, I instructed readers to stay on the 4 hourly chart and look for a backtest of the EMA9 to confirm the break out, with the projected level 1 key for both. The majority of traders trailed from Wednesday’s failed breakdown, but the keen DTF/DEM trader caught the break out just 10 minutes after the US open.

Trade plan results:

  • ES 46 points long;

  • NQ 205 points long.

The hourly set it up: look above an exhaustion high, made a higher low towards a previous higher low, then pushed for a new higher high, backtested and never looked back.

Let’s have a look. Here are ES and NQ:
