Thoughts/Thesis/Notes during the trade: Watching for break of support on daily since this was the 5th day of gapping down and the prior 4 each got bought up, but did not break out. I went long the first two days of gap downs, sat out the 3rd and 4th due to lower probability of filling gap, now on day 5 had bearish tilt. 8ema almost caught up to price action, and not a lot of buying coming in, then a quick flush and consolidation. I went short within the consolidation and added a bit more to get better avg. within risk. Covered risk pretty quick and was trailing down the last 1/3. Added back the 2/3 position I had covered on the pullback to equilibrium and put a stop ant the top of the 7:10 candle, high volume red (almost) maribozu. Bad luck, flushed right after those got stopped, I tried to offer in but didn't want to chase too much and over trade. Closed last 1/3 (core) at target.
Areas of Success: Followed plan, did not move stop when getting close, good patience on entry and entry strategy
Areas to Improve: Watch for additional setups/adds.
