This one I entered too late for the Green to around 2:00 pm, I was watching other charts and came back too late. I should have paid more attention to the trade, but I still made $100 off all of my trades on BBY, but I could of had a better day, if I would have paid closer attention to the entry of the stocks, and timing. I need to make sure I am not chasing, and learn to just not enter if I think it is too late, or just wait to see if another opportunity will come.
This will be paying attention to the trendlines, and matching up with the daily chart.

See 33.20 from the previous day. when you hit that you get the double top on a short term basis so you need to get as close to that as possible. never short once you see 3-4 red candles the stock will be too tired.

This is like your CSIQ trade, just the other way around. If you take a few steps back and look at both of them, you are getting long pops, and shorting dips. Reverse that. And if you are trying to short that little trend break, don't forget that when you enter short your risk should be that recent high, or at hods, so chasing hurts your r/r
