A trader observes a 'Wick-Body Imbalance' setup in Crude Oil. The bar has a lower wick containing selling imbalances and a green body containing stacked buying imbalances.
Where should the entry and stop be placed?
- Short entry at the top of the body; stop placed above the bar's high.
- Market sell entry below the wick, since the tape confirms sellers control.
- Long entry only if the delta happens to print negative.
- Long entry on the next bar's open; stop below the lower wick's low.
