Long Red Candlestick Play Instructions

Step 1 - Look for a LONG RED CANDLESTICK resting on MINOR PRICE SUPPORT and also a rising MAJOR MOVING AVERAGE (10 MA, 20 MA or 50 MA).

Step 2 - Pull up a 5 minute chart of the stock.

Step 3 - Note the opening price of the stock. If the stock gaps up or down more than 5/8th, DO NOT enter the trade. If the stock opens within 5/8th of the previous day's close, proceed to Step 4.

Step 4 - Wait for the stock to trade for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, note the high of the first 5 minute candlestick.

Step 5 - Enter the stock if it trades 1/8th above the high of the first 5 minute candlestick. If the stock does not trade 1/8th higher than the high of the first 5 minute candlestick, DO NOT enter the trade.

Step 6 - Pull up a 15 minute chart of the stock.

Step 7 - After entering the stock, place an initial protective stop 1/8th below the low price of the day.

Step 8 - Monitor the stock during the next 15 min. candlestick.

Step 9 - Adjust the protective stop to 1/8th below the low price of the previous 15 min. candlestick. Stay in the trade as long as the stock trades above this price.

Step 10 - Monitor the stock during the next 15 min. candlestick.

Step 11 - Adjust the protective stop to 1/8th below the low price of the previous 15 min candlestick. Stay in the trade as long as the stock trades above this price.

Step 12 - Continue to monitor the stock during each new 15 min. candlestick, and adjust your protective stop to 1/8th below each previous 15 min. candlestick's low.

Step 13 - Exit the stock for profit when it finally trades 1/8th below the low price of a previous 15 min. candlestick.
