ABX Could be Leading Gold
/by Peter BrandtThe daily graph on ABX (Barrick Gold) displays a possible 7-week continuation H&S pattern. Price broke out of this H&S on Friday, triggering a potential target on ABX of $18.14.

I know my sweet spot. Every trader should strive to know his or her sweet spot.
We should strive to only take a trade when the market set up is in our sweet spot.
We should strive to avoid trades out of our sweet spot.
