I have bought Al Brooks' Trading Course

I'm not sure he has any original teachings on PA that can't be found with Google other than 5-minute bar ES observations.

 

The methodology is not time specific i.e. you can apply his teaching to daily bars, weekly bars etc.

 

just quick look at your chart, sharing my possible setups

 

I wasn't trading at the time of the EMA gap, but that trade has some good reasons to enter. It's an EMA gap + low 3 among other reasons. There is resistance just above + a successful test of a down TL from the top of the giant bear bar to the doji prior to the gap bar (not shown). Personally, I might have paused because the recent uptrend hadn't broken yet, though it looks like the small tail on top of the big bear that followed the EMA gap bar may have been a retest of a micro uptrend drawn from the low 2 tail to the doji bottom tail prior to the bear gap bar. I hope you took the trade!

If I had taken the EMA gap trade, I would have taken half at the prior low 1 tail, and covered the remainder above the prior double bottom, especially since it didn't quite get there. I would have used a lower time frame to make that call (a brooks no-no), but I like to use multiple frames when I trade. How would you manage that play?
