Step 2 - Pull up a 5 minute chart of the stock.

Step 3 - Note the opening price of the stock. If the stock gaps up or down more than 5/8th, DO NOT enter the trade. If the stock opens within 5/8th of the previous day's close, proceed to Step 4.

Step 4 - Wait for the stock to trade for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, note the high of the first 5 minute candlestick.

Step 6 - Pull up a 15 minute chart of the stock.

Step 7 - After entering the stock, place an initial protective stop 1/8th below the low price of the day.

Step 9 - Adjust the protective stop to 1/8th below the low price of the previous 15 min. candlestick. Stay in the trade as long as the stock trades above this price.

Step 10 - Monitor the stock during the next 15 min. candlestick.

Step 11 - Adjust the protective stop to 1/8th below the low price of the previous 15 min candlestick. Stay in the trade as long as the stock trades above this price.
