@nape. i appreciate the critique but dont really understand what you mean by "notice how it started to round up" as it looked like it was bear flagging to me.
You see how that 36 area was getting defended and the dips were getting bought each time it got closer to breaking 36. That's price action working for the bulls. 36 was now a key level of support. It needed to break 36 in order for short idea to work. Instead it started basing and it coiled up.. http://screencast.com/t/Sm3D8Lz8V58

Where you took the short, notice how it is started to round up. Bullish sign when it coils like that...http://screencast.com/t/qBJBkzQn1p
