Since you have so many issues with chop, I suggest you go back to the pre-market trading range and track it forward from around 0800EST in order to determine just where and how the chop started and how long it lasted rather than just put it all behind you.
My problems with the chop come from getting burned too many times with it, so I try to avoid it at all cost (perhaps too high of a cost), but as long as I can stay away from it my state of mind is in the right place to take action when a trend shows up. I have discovered an incredible amount of issues with my mind trading the markets, hehehe. I noticed premarket that there was a hinge forming around PDH and that the MP of that hinge coincided with the PDH level, just at the open I was thinking that a BO to the Upside was going to be the way to go as the hinge BO had failed just before the open. But it never came, then I had mixed ideas about the LOLR, as the 60 min DL was being poked and the 5 min was a mess, so I defined the TR between 93 and 88. From the open till 11:00 the BO never came, it happened just after 11:00 but the first attempt ended up in a failure and the next one did not go very far either. I think I am addressing your comment, but I am not sure I am giving you the answer you are looking for, please let me know. And by the way, thanks for posting here, really appreciate it.
No offense, but this is gobbledygook. This isn't about lines and patterns, it's about price movement. You get "burned" by chop because you have yet to define it properly. So your first task is to define it properly. At 0630, price begins to settle into a range from 91+ (set two hours earlier) to 93+. What then happens at 0815?
Sellers try to break out of the range, but they fail, volume increase substantially (relatively), but price does not fall, it just goes back inside the range. Buyers are unable to reach the last high, so they are not interested either.
Once again, sellers make a push for a breakout but find buyers at 89, at 9:05 the SL is broken, and buyers take prices back into the range.
I think the first opportunity comes at 8:37, but I wouldn't have take it, because I am not so confident on trading breakouts until the LSL is taken, and even that has not been tested so I am not so sure. The next opportunity comes at 8:50, after sellers manage to keep prices below R at 91 and push lower forms a new RET. The next RET comes at 8:57, but this is the one that fails. The price levels at which I think I would have placed my orders were the magenta squares.
