Re: GEN: What P&F Box Sizes?

Earl et al,

It's been a while since I sent a chart to RT's. It's also been a while since
I looked much at P&F so I just drew up this intra-day chart of US 9H
(T-Bonds for you stock guys).

Looking carefully at the chart you can see some red and blue arrows (red
{sells}, blue {buys}) that I put next to the box where you would sell or buy
based on some patterns like, Double tops/bottoms or Tripple t/b,  Bullish
and Bearish Catapult Formation, and  Bullish and Bearish Signal Formation.

I also included some standard fibonacci retracement levels and some lines
for fun.

You like? I kinda do.

Brent
