on my chart the setup bar high was not within 2.4 pips of point 2

trigger bar was at 9:10 with +50 cci and price within 2.4 of sma... but I could be wrong...
Must be the different brokers... it wasn't within 2.4 pips on my chart. I was definitely looking to trade it though. Atleast someone made some dough. Well if you were trading a flag....then nevermind....I was looking at div 123.

At least we're all deducing why it worked. Great way to learn!

GU...
keep your eye on it guys... this morning i mentioned the 60ish level, look how many times it has bounced off it so far today alone from both sides.
If we get through it we may see some action.

Do you think Div. would change the rules slightly?....Price needs to be within 5 pips of sma not 2.4 pips.....

Joel the setup bar needs to be within 2.4 pips of the sma and its high within 2.4 pips of point 2. Have a look at my earlier post of Div's rules

Did not take it. 1.4488 to 1.4495 was full of candles (junk in the trunk).

Did go for sub & entry prior to 123, and bailed when it started to jet back down. When price made the 123, decided against it because of previous rejection at resistance area.

My question is what made this trade so attractive?
