My previous trade to the long side had resulted in a frustrating pull back without me taking any profit.
When I exited it I was also triggered on a sell order that I could not cancel in time as the price popped down too quickly.
I managed to cover for a small profit though, which was lucky.
This had proved to be a shake out and the price soon climbed back up to where I was hoping to sell the previous more sizable trade.
Once more I have left too much on the table

Why were you watching this for a short?

I wasn't.
I exited my long trade, then before I could cancel my stop, the price dropped and triggered the stop to sell what I had just exited.
I then covered for a very small profit.
Sometimes you get lucky.
