First short: I should have waited until the 1min candle closed on the second 5min candle of the day. I didn't close fast enough and I chased to close.
Second short: reentered the short trade when SQ failed to breakout. Red 1 min candle closed below the first large green 1 min candle of the day. 2min candle also closed below the first large green candle of the day. after the large 5min candle closed I lowered my stop to my entry and rode the momentum down. I closed before my 243 target.
A better entry would have been when the 5min closed below the green hammer candle at the open around 250
