E-mini S&P 500 Futures (Sep 2018) forum
Breakout: liquidity at 6483 transacts/pulls, buyers keep control on the retest, 5m close > 6483.
Fade: absorption prints under 6483, delta tilts down, can’t reclaim 6480 on the bounce.

1) Continuation LONG above 6490
Look for a 15m close above 6490, quick check that bids are holding >6484, then a 5m confirmation to enter 6489–6492.
• SL: ~6485
• TP1: 6506 (+15) → scale
• TP2: 6512–6516, TP3: 6533–6535
• Invalidation: 15m bearish close back under 6484
2) Rejection SHORT at 6512–6516
If we poke the zone and print a 15m bearish close <6508, I want a 5m confirm to work 6508–6514 short.
• SL: 6517–6519
• TP1: 6493–6496 (+15)
• TP2: 6484 → 6472, TP3: 6465 → 6456
• Invalidation: 30m acceptance >6516
3) Breakdown SHORT below 6454
If a 15m bar settles <6454 and retest fails, I’ll use 6454–6457 for entry.
• SL: 6460–6462
• TP1: 6439 (+15)
• TP2: 6418, TP3: 6405–6395
• Invalidation: Swift reclaim >6462
