I was watching for it to bounce off the 68.50 area, which it did. After the bounce I saw it start to form a small flag around 11am but I wasn't sure if that pattern would hold, and it did. Then, after drawing my trend lines I saw another flag forming so I entered for the breakout. It did breakout, however I did not take my profits when I had the chance.
I chose to let it play out just in case it was going to retrace its run down. Volume came in and the 5m candles closed strong so I had no apparent reason to sell.

Great entry. I would have took some off on 69.80 after 5 green candles. Was not the cleanest today.
