[RT] Re: Bonds (Wedges and Wedges)

Don't mind the questions - I see that I forgot to attach both GIF's
which are now attached. (A) shows the wedge setup and the break. And (B)
shows the sideways action. Don't understand the question regarding
"thinking behind the math" - generally I find that flags can be counted
on to move 62% of the pole length as described. The r/r for the trade
was 3:1.

As things stand now I will remain on sidelines even though price has
finally started moving down. My trigger for ID short trades is the break
of the low of the day prior to the ID which in this case is 96-11. Since
the major trend is up, the 38% retracement lies at 96-06, and there was
so little momentum follow-through to the Bear Wedge, I'm not inclined to
take the ID trade because it doesn't fit my r/r objectives. Doesn't mean
it may not be a good one or that the Bear Flag objective may not be met.
