Candle Pattern


ES 15min. @ 8:30 bear harami / 9:15 bear engulf / if we
close above could be a further move up
The mean of the red candle in above chart is 922.75 / at the 8:30am edt news
this morning the market went to 922.50 and turned
This mean works well on the 30min when there is a nice thrust and price doesn't return for a few bars like the mean on the 11:30 bar Friday morning was the low 11:30 last night. I know of a trader, can't think of his name right now, he was a big Italian floor trader He used the mean, called it something pivots. I'll look it up. That and order flow was all he said he used on the floor.

Rules were best I can remember....To buy the market it must be above yesterdays mean AND above the close.

I use the mean and the candle pattern to confirm an area I think is a s/r

ie... with the candle in the last chart (above) I had projection to 922.50
and the mean of the candle was 922.75... A short time frame candle 5/15/30/min.
with good volume is a good area to watch during the day
Just thinking out loud

Were moving up to the 914/915 area where this move down started on 5/12. This has been hit
three times, fourth time we go thru ?
Sometimes I save a chart and study it by turning it up-side down. I noticed another
trader has added a tool in his chart package that will do this with live charts...fwiw
I don't trade with MAs ... but recently I started looking at them .. I have set up a quad chart with different time frame of MAs .. Today at 11:30am et. all four MAs came together and in fact price hit them about the same time .. I just got started with this so I'll post what I see from time to time .. looks good so far .. My intent is to use them as a confirming tool not a primary ...
