I thought this would be a good opportunity to show why and how I use the Monthly open of a candle to narrow down good trading opportunities.
The monthly candle opened and immediately started dumping. Price has not yet gone above the open, there is no wick above, a majority of candles make a wick both above and below the open. This type of movement for me is bullish. It tells me price will create a wick eventually, I try to enter as close to the absolute low of that candle. By the time price moves back above the months opening price you’re already in a trade with a healthy distance between price and where I entered.
This is a very good technique that gives low risk swing trades. It’s served me well over the years.
