EL (gap down)

Bearish first then sideways. We try to rally off the lows and break OR on 6th candle. This is offset by 7th and then the 8th is a NR7 closing is back below the OR and closes weak. This is our short trigger. It fell initially but then didn't follow thru and we are stopped out for a loss.

I may have missed some setups early on as I didn't get to look at the market until over an hour after the open. Nothing else subsequently set up. This was end of a run as it was my first losing trade of 2009. But I'm sure there will be many more..lol.

Market's closed on monday, so have a good long weekend.

Not bad having first losing trade after half month of 100% profitable trades.

Good luck next week!
