Long Green Candlestick Play Instructions
Step 1 - Look for a LONG GREEN CANDLESTICK against MINOR PRICE RESISTANCE and also against a declining MAJOR MOVING AVERAGE (10 MA, 20 MA or 50 MA).
Step 2 - Pull up a 5 minute chart of the stock.
Step 3 - Note the opening price of the stock. If the stock gaps up or down more than 5/8th, DO NOT enter the trade. If the stock opens within 5/8th of the previous day's close, proceed to Step 4.
Step 4 - Wait for the stock to trade for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, note the low of the first 5 minute candlestick.
Step 5 - Sell short the stock if it trades 1/8th below the low of the first 5 minute candlestick. If the stock does not trade lower than the low of the first 5 minute candlestick, DO NOT enter the trade.
Step 6 - Pull up a 15 minute chart of the stock.
Step 7 - After shorting the stock, place an initial protective stop 1/8th above the high price of the day.
Step 8 - Monitor the stock during the next 15 min. candlestick.
Step 9 - Adjust the protective stop to 1/8th above the high price of the previous 15 min. candlestick. Stay in the trade as long as the stock trades below this price.
Step 10 - Monitor the stock during the next 15 min. candlestick.
Step 11 - Adjust the protective stop to 1/8th above the high price of the previous 15 min candlestick. Stay in the trade as long as the stock trades below this price.
Step 12 - Continue to monitor the stock during each new 15 min. candlestick, and adjust your protective stop to 1/8th above each previous 15 min. candlestick's high.
Step 13 - Cover the stock for profit when it finally trades 1/8 above the high price of a previous 15 min. candlestick.
