I want to try to figure this out… what makes this set up so difficult for me to attack appropriately? Is is that I so often look for continuation that I dont have this reversal play in the top of mind? is it that I was so focused on the long move up that I missed that I did not adjust my thinking enough? Is it that I am concerned of getting chopped up in the middle of the session?
When a name is an defined downtrend on a larger time frame and despite morning strength gets and holds below a key resistance level (111) I need to be looking to short the name against that level looking for a reversal. Maybe its just needing more reps or being more open to the idea but this is such a powerful play that I want to be working to put myself in a position to catch this as often as possible with names in larger downtrends. Work here, practice this and refine my rules for this set up.
I can put myself in a much better position by looking for a short against 111 not waiting for the action to confirm below 110.
This is fine but there is so much more in the play.
