DISCUSSION 2:THE WRB IN THE 60MIN FLOW
We had discussed about the importance of the WRB in the Intraday MiniFlownow,here on the 60min flow,it's a bit different.Not to forget that we are Gear 1 traders here,over aggression will kill us off.The WRB can again be divided into the following:
1.WRB BREAKOUT:Here we have higher pivot highs and lows,and then we have a WRB breakout over a previous pivot high,as always a visually obvious WRB.We are now looking for the next bar.If the next bar closes below 50% of the previous WRB(Open-Close),we are reverting to shorts below the low of this bearish bar.
NOTE 1:This is a 2 bar setup.we need a WRB Breakout+next bar bearish bar closing below 50%.Then only does this triggerIf the next bar is a small bullish bar,and the next bar is a doji,then all of the above is null and void.Stops at the low of the WRB Breakout,and reverse if triggers.
NOTE 2:This above pattern is only in an uptrend.only in WRB Breakouts alone.Not WRB Breakdowns.In WRB Breakdowns,stops at the high of the WRB.No 50% next bar business..we reverse only on a break of the high of the WRB.
NOTE 3:The above pattern is not only in an uptrend,but it cannot be the first WRB breakout bar after a downtrend.the first WRB that we reverse with ending the downtrend and triggerring off a new uptrend,has SAR at low of the bar and we are not really looking at the next bar reversal.The above pattern is usually in an ongoing uptrend creating multiple higher pivot highs and lows and then there comes this WRB BreakoutWe are in eseence looking out for the WRB Breakout Failure and to reverse early.
2.WRB Continuation:We would love to quickly raise our SAR to the low of this bar,and we are not wrong.But another equally important and powerful factor-the Gap Down-can give us a few headaches.Allow price to open up the fllowing day before assessing and moving stops up to the low of the WRB.
NOTE 1:There is no next bar 50% reversal.reversal if lows are taken out.
EXCEPTION:We have multiple higher pivot highs and lows,and then this current rally puts up another 4-5 Bullish bars and then we have this huge WRB at the end of all of this..Think possible Exhaustion.here and here alone,do we raise SAR to the 33% mark,and reverse if triggerred.
LAST NOTE:This again is in an Uptrend..In a WRB Continuation move,stops at the high of the WRB.In a WRB Continuation move,possibly Exhaustion,stops at the high of the WRB.
Any doubts,please do ask under ASK SAINT Section under WRB in60min Flow.
Happy Trading!
