I entered a long position in $LX based on some nice patterns I've been stalking for the past 2 days. $LX recently made a new 8 month high and pulled back into the 14.50 support area. For the past 3 days $LX has been consolidating right above this area of support with 3 inside candles in a row on the daily chart. On the 30m chart, $LX developed a coiled spring pattern which is indication of explosive volatility in the near future. Due to these multiple patterns stacking upon each other, I entered a long position at 14.97 after $LX held the 14.50 area a third time on the 30m chart. My stop loss is at 14.48 with a target at 17.
The overall macro conditions of the market at the time of the trade looked good. The Iran War fears were fading and $SPY was making new all time highs continuing the bullish trend. However, market conditions are still volatile and I will keep a close eye on macro conditions if early exits to protect capital are warranted.

Took profits and moved stop to breakeven. $LX had a nice breakout today however is pulling back intraday and is looking to print a high volume shooting star. This VPA signal is usually a bearish one and is part of my rules as a reason to sell. Going to give this one another day to see if $LX can hold up.

Stopped out rest of $LX at breakeven. Looks like $LX couldn't get it going.
