Bearish Engulfing Crack Strategy

Saw the setup twice today. Once on $BABA (semi-successful back to VWAP but just too choppy), and $MU (failed). 

I believe one factor that gives the move such downward momentum is that stops are being taken out on the 5-min chart (close of prior white candle), and 1-minute chart (loss of the 9 EMA).

I was actually on the opposite end of a Bearish Engulfing Crack once. Went long $BSX on an Opening Range Breakup and was stopped out during the flush.

A failed Bearish Engulfing Crack... the price never broke the previous candlestick range and with VWAP, YY level & MAs below was going to be difficult to crack...

I actually was waiting for a bearish ingulfing crack there, but I told my self that I better enter after it breaks the VWAP for a better entry, once it failed it at 9:45-10:00 especially that hammer candle I just went long and it was a good long!

Took $TWTR on Bearish Engulfing Crack but was stopped out on first try. Went back in for second attempt and rode momentum to low of the day (LOD).

Here's one from yesterday that failed to crack below the MA's. I managed to get out near break-even for a mere 0.05/share loss.

$IBM failed Bearish Engulfing Crack. Stopped out on first attempt. Caught the continuation crack toward LOD.

I couldn't get filled on $EBAY due to SSR. Tried 3 times during the engulfing candle and subsequent one to no avail. Gave up after it dropped below 34.7. It went to the low of the day!

$UAA had a decent drop after the Engulfing Candle.

Same with $TAL before it reversed back to VWAP.

Came here to post the $TAL trade as well. Was a good one! Right at the VWAP too for a super small risk.

Great example on $MU this morning. Many people in the room caught the move to LOD and beyond.
