BAC (gap up)

After the gap up, the stock retraces down to the ema before starting to recover and trend up. After a break above the OR we have sideways consolidation just above it. Then the 12th candle is green and bullish and closes strong above the OR with ema as support. This is our trigger.

Fib Ext: 38.74
1R=38.10 2R=38.45 3R=38.80

We trend up nicely intially reaching 1R, but it doesn't follow thru and we stop out at breakeven.

COF (gap up)

After gap up , we retrace then trend up with the ema and cross the OR on the 6th candle. Then the price retraces back into the oR. The 12th is strong and closes above the OR and ema and also closes strong itself. This is our trigger.
