6 trades happened to be profitable during a choppy phase (4 buys and 2 shorts). The market wouldn’t move much until later. A 5 minute chart is shown. At the time I was watching a one minute chart. The chart looked very different but I did have the horizontal channel drawn

There was no way to know if a breakout like this will occur, but in this case look at the 2 blue circles. Nice entries, pullbacks to the 50 MA.
