The alternative entry on the prior E-mini Russell chart would be on a
pullback (see Figure 14-8). After the initial breakout above the 829.80 swing
high, when you started to see a pullback, you would want to look at entering
this pullback anywhere from the 50 percent to the .786 retracement of
the prior swing. You can also see if a 100 percent symmetry projection of a
prior swing overlaps one of these retracements. (Personally, I gravitate
toward whatever retracement overlaps symmetry.) In this case, the 50 percent
retracement of the prior low-to-high swing came in at 829.85.
This came very close to overlapping the 1.0 projection of the prior swing
down at 829.90. You can see the symmetry on the chart, with the first swing
down being labeled as 1.10 points and the second swing down labeled as
1.20 points. There is that beautiful symmetry/similarity in the swings. The
pullback ended up terminating at 829.80 before the rally resumed.
