An gap up opening in the Dow of some 400 points apparently left an open gap in my brain, for while I was searching the early Open Range action for a possible ORB short triggering pattern, all I could comment on the room was the initial bull 3 Bar ORB setup which was far too risking considering the HUGE affect of possible gravity. (However, it worked for 2 pts in profit, had you been quick enough to get some of it...) And while I was musing on the risk of using any ORB pattern to buy such a behemoth risk, I missed the YM ORB sell pennant, which eventually produced a +100 point profit and an easy way to participate the early decline. Wake up and smell the coffee... or better still, wake up and drink some.... You can't use your Trade Plan if it doesn't have these entry models well laid out, and you won't use your Trade Plan if you are stunned by the unusual nature of the extreme an extreme gap.
