probably neither looks like sideways action but if you took both results are probably the same loss followed by win then higher up 123 to get back intp trend

When looking for reversals against days trend you want them to be clean where theres no congestion. If there is just let price pb and wait for setup to get into days trend which is sell higher buy lower

Hey guys, again long time no see I am not sure if anyone noticed, but there was a 2b on CL (sell 40) and a 123 on BRN (sell 58) a little after inventories, both ended as a loss. Looking at the line chart its not visible. It is hard to backtest these setups. What do you think?

The Crude one was about 25 minutes ago. I had it marked up but I didn't fancy it as price was climbing so quickly.

thats not even a setup you have to have a closing high a closing low amd a closing high for a 2b and not a closing high for 123 we also have to wait 5 or 10 minutes after news the spot around 4880 is 2b point

Just switch to bar chart, there is a HH, HL, HH then it triggers 40 and quickly goes up and makes one more HH. On a line chart you cannot see it

Ah yes, that makes sense.

Something annoying though, I just had a look at the 15 min and noticed the divergence at the lows. I hate it when that happens!
