I Spy a Large Trading Opportunity–How You Can Too (Part 6) 

Price came back up and tested the Upper Sliding Parallel, leaving double tops again and in the process, my limit sell order at 117 9/32 is filled. This bar also closed in the lower third of its range, with great down side separation, which is again a sign that there are sellers in this market at higher levels-a sign of weakness.

Once I see my price print, I check my electronic platform to make certain that my limit sell order was filled. Then I check that my stop loss order is in the market. Finally, I can enter my profit order, my limit buy order at 116 11/32.

Once I am short, my mind begins to manage the potential outcomes of the trade. I draw in a green narrower Median Line and its Parallel Lines, because this set of lines will give me a much clearer prediction of the probable path of price if I am correct and price moves lower from this level.

More in Part 7 tomorrow.
