If you're only looking at the 1min chart, then this entry was great. BUT, BUT, BUT!
But if you had taken a breather and looked at both your 60 & 15 min charts, you would've seen that on the 15-min chart, there was a hammer candle (shortly after 9:00AM).
A hammer candle indicated that the bulls are in control, at the end of downtrend. NOT ONLY That, but the hammer candle on the 15min chart is a GREEN candle. That's even more of an indication that the bulls are getting back on the saddle.
Why did I take a short position on a higher LoW from both the 60 & 15 min charts? This was definitely an impulsive move NOT to be repeated.
