6E- 240 min chart, I wanted to show volume confirming big support. Also, there's a gap not filled at what is now support. I am not comfortable taking longs till the gap is filled. 2011-04-24_2023 - babypowder's library

6E- 1440 min chart, shows we're in mid channel, I am looking for a HL/pullback to enter long from here will see. 2011-04-24_2032 - babypowder's library

6E- 240 min chart shows the gap filled which I wanted to see before going long. You will also see a big rejection candle right on support area. 2011-04-25_2212 - babypowder's library

6E- 60 min chart, I zoomed here to fine tune an entry and you can see a IB right were I want it going long @ 4520. See attached. 2011-04-25_2220 - babypowder's library

CL- 1440 min chart shows that we are in the bottom of the channel, also its stalling at previous high while still making a new high. 2011-05-02_1848 - babypowder's library
CL- 240 min chart shows we are consolidating, also last candles is a IB working its way down probably towards the shaded area I highlighted (further explained below). 2011-05-02_1852 - babypowder's library
CL- 30 min chart shows a range market notice how volume reacts to the price levels. 2011-05-02_1903 - babypowder's library

Short term play is to wait for price to hit a 30 min range level and fade.

CL-1440 min chart, shows TL breakout with last bar being a bullish pin bar which tells me this will start to pullback. The question is where will it pullback to? Attached you will see the top shaded area (106-108) which was the last significant level and also happens to be 61.8 retracement area. When we get there we will zoom in to fine tune an entry. 2011-05-07_1809 - babypowder's library

6E-1440 min chart, shows potential TL break but its running into previous HH, 2 scenarios i will want for a breakdown pass the last HH level or a realignment back to the TL channel. (NOTE: BIG EURO NEWS GREECE IN TALKS TO EXIT THE EUROZONE!) Maybe reason for TL break? We will see.

CL- 30 min chart, fine tune entry at IB with STOP @ last HL after major bar reversal, counter trend play so I will be aggressive with profit taking. 2nd target @ 50% retracement of the major trend or the TL touch. We will see.
