Follow-up on the CDWC trade
As mentioned in my yesterday's post on (CDWC), I was looking for someone to confirm/comment on my observation, and my decision on how I handled (CDWC). Later that evening, I came across this post made by Jamie at Wall St. Warrior. Apparently, someone posted a similar question to Jamie on (CDWC) as well.
Here is Jamie's view on (CDWC).

20070410 - INCY - 15mins - Reviewed by Wall St. Warrior
Another post-match review, this time by Jamie from Wall St. Warrior. Please note that the chart above is a 5-minute chart. Jamie brought up a point that the 5-minute chart was 'choppy', and therefore I want to include the chart in this post for review. Jamie also mentioned about the "Long upper shadow on the 3rd bar", which should have served as a caution. Here is his review:
I see a few red flags on INCY:
Long upper shadow on 3rd bar.
Choppy trading especially when I drill down to the 5 minute timeframe.
Resistance dating back to early February at $7.70.
Usually when resistance is just overhead, I wait until resistance is taken out and then try to get in on the retest (ie. resistance becomes support). You entered as price broke resistance on the 10th bar. When it pulled back in and did not hold $7.70 as support, it resulted in a failed breakout and a signal to exit the position.
And since both ADD Traders and Jamie mentioned early February high, I am also attaching the daily chart below, to point out what they are referring to.
