I think I missed the short entry play, but if I'm still looking to go short, this would be my entry.

Hmmm do I see a bullish harami there. . .

but to trade what I see and not what I think I have place a pending long to try and take advantage of the latest bullish signal.

The low of the harami got taken out so I've switched my bias to short with a tight stop.

Yes your right, Some people I was chating with were also leaning towards longs. But this is one thing about this startegy that makes it great. The only real signal was on the 15 min. Actually the strongest signal was the candle before the Shooting star. A dragonfly doji. Then another short signal of the shooting star.. either was good to take.

If you took those to enter they got you in before any of the other time frames even hinted for a entry. Sometimes we don't have a higher time frame to confirm a move. You have to remember also that before...

Ken.. Really enjoy reading your work! Like I mentioned before, you really know this system. Any plans on making a PDF? I think it would go great with the original PDF for the thread.
