So now the second tree. This was the $25,000 profit, 7.6 to 1 risk to reward ratio. Here we see the impulsive move up around 11:15. And what this looks like on the candlestick chart is 1115 is right here. We can see it by this larger upper wick right here. That's that impulsive move that you see right here. So high a day was swept high a day was broken. It was done on heavier volume. This is why we see an upper wick because it was immediately rejected. And then directly following this we see the same structure that we saw earlier. We saw the market consolidate and as it broke, this consolidation is where I got short at the 56.77. We've left the volume tail here compared to earlier, we had the high volume there. Now a few minutes later, the market swept the high. Now we have the volume tail and now we have the structure breaking. You're not going to be able to see the structure on a one minute chart. You might see it right here, but it's not as clear as it is on this order flow right here. And on top of this we see another P shape. But now look, this P shape was not transacted at the high. Here we have the lack of volume at the high. Now we even have a little bit of lack of volume at the top of the P. And now we have aggressive sellers denoted by this. Aggressive sellers denoted by this. Trapped buyers by buyers buy lying at the high inside of supply.
