“Make things as simple as possible but no simpler” – Albert Einstein
I know some of you don’t like posts about individual setups and I kindly invite you to take your reading elsewhere. However, if banking coin is your top priority, more so than amusement, I suggest you add Chipotle to your watchlist this evening for potential long trades tomorrow.
Since I’ve just returned home and I’m in the sharing is caring mode I want to explain exactly how to trade this setup. Young guys, listen up because you won’t get much advice like this for free on the internet.

If we approach those levels, closely monitor intraday action and find a good price to scale out. Then keep a piece on in case the momentum picks up and the trade gets legs, the crème if you will.
Your risk is down to $314 so you’re risking $9 to make $12 on a setup with around a 68% win rate. Believe me, the numbers work in your favor. Just trade it well.
