MCD Earnings short play

Tier 2, generally such pattern works. It did not work for me, the only issue I see is that it never went below the 1st 5 min bar, that held and the range was again narrow. 

STT short play



This pattern also works generally, this pulled back to 50% level and started going down, my target was 55, didn’t work. I added heavily and lost. But this is a good pattern, especially when earnings such stock moves

SNDK long trade on pullback

SNDK - pullbacks usually have lower probability of working unless it was at a higher level of the 1st 5 min bar; this would have worked much better if I shorted it; was almost up 3R due to my adds, should have exited to get all profits;

UNH short trade..

UNH again the short did not work well, expected it to go to the prior lows. Went to narrow range and did not yield much.

VZ - not enough range to get big R's..


Range was not good enough to get enough profit.. Small change; on earnings day expected the range to be bigger.

JNJ trade this morning. Played too early and lost 1/2 R


Played  too early and lost.. Should have waited for the 5 min high, it worked eventually

KO trade this morning, over 3R profit

Tier 2 , got in at the right time and added very well. Good game. The best part of this chart is the big red bar of yesterday and earnings play.
