NFLX, FCX

A boring day. Could not find any good setups. Traded NFLX, FCX (twice).


Wanted to short NFLX on the break of the 4th bar low but did not pull the trigger. Usually a WRB followed by consolidation is a pause for the continuation of the trend but when price takes out the support of the consolidation, it provides a nice shorting opp. A WRB followed by consolidation but price takes out the low of 4th bar low. I just could not pull the trigger. I entered short when price after making a low retraced and found the EMA's as strong resistance. Covered partial at 5 DMA (orange line) and was holding the remaining hoping it to reach S1 which was also the gap support. Price moved sideways below 5 DMA but when the high if the consolidation was taken out, I exited the remaining part. It was just a fake. Price moved to S1.

FCX found support on S1 and formed a base. Strong closing bar followed by 2 inside bar consolidation on light volume. Long on break of strong bar high. Was expecting price to reach PDH (purple dotted line) but exited before that based on 5 min. chart.
