Second trade? What was the reason to break the rule ?

Hi @kremat0r

You are right - this is one of 2 rare situations. There is one rule to stop before a important number/speech etc. and restart right after.
Another rule is when 2 rules are conquering. Such was the case you read about.
You can find in my journal a handful occurences of those exceptions. All along with the rules.
Happy reading the thread again...

Good trades!

Well - the battle @16k had been seen. - the 16033 to close the gap was also seen in the last 20 minutes. Quite a lot what GFIs1 told in advance.
