: I need to do a better job of following up on these. I'll have to revisit why the Date Range forecast didn't work properly in this instance, but the end result was that we retraced to the 50% mark rather than achieving lower lows, as I had anticipated. TL;DR is this trade was a FAIL. Stopped out by price action after three days of peculiar consolidation. It could be said that once price didn't either achieve 50% retracement OR lower lows (in this instance) within the amount of time specified by the Date Range Forcast, that the "pattern" should then be considered invalid, as well as the original premiss for the trade.


The Green and Red box are part of my Date Range Forecast (see linked idea) and indicate that we will see either a bull run to breach 255 in the next 11 bars, or we'll see lower lows past 208.48. With that in mind the targets are based on the H&S pattern which have done very well for me on higher time frames after break out.
