I've got a long on Sat40 - obveously not for day trading. Also missed the bus on the rally for a dt - sold out long in the sqeeze expecting a pull-back. Miz :-( but opportunity for a short is starting to show promise!

The fib and the ambush shows the same from 30 to 1 min so time frame does not matter. I was expecting the gap to close but as in the chart the ambush zone held, so long was the break out of the ambush and my exit was the longer 50 % resistance on the longer time frame

From bottom of gap till next high ... can also draw retracement gaps low to lows and high to highs I'll show you 2 examples of each .... it the same as buying dips in a up trend

There is no rule for trading fib low to lows in a down trend ( shorting on pull backs ) and high to highs ( long on pull backs ) Here is the FTSE for the last 2 day in this little uptrend ....http://www.chartupload.com/viewer.php?file=446j4c52b0w4r3u0y8r1.png
