Good question TB. I took the same trade. My charts are now closed but I think on my charts the second 50+ bar ended up closing on the wrong side of the 10 making it non a valid "Entry" bar and negating it's status as an "Entry"
bar.

I could be in a fog about this so I may see you in court on Monday.

after further review, there is substantial evidence to confirm the validity of the trade, therefore div wont be subject to any further questioning, although on my charts, the red bar did close right on the sma, where on the one he posted, there was a clear closing below the sma, so he is vindicated. that was pretty nice how he was able to slip into a trade right at his start time.
