2 trades in this one:
Shorted 2k shares as it showed weakness and seemed right at a breaking point for it. Got in a little late in the pattern, but turned out nice. Covered 1k on the big red candle, then added 1k back after bounce to r/g failed. Covered a little quick, but safe when it seemed I may have been wrong about immediate more downside.
Shorted again after bounce ran out of steam. Shorted on g/r cross (which was late the to pattern). Gave it some time to breakdown more, but wasn't doing it, so covered the entire 2k and went to the gym! Turned out okay.

Good trading on the first trade. didn't understand the 2nd trade. I think your 3rd trade was a chatroom call so that is why it is late, but still worked okay.
@NWJames, the 2nd trade you referred to is actually just an add back into my original trade of what I covered on the first candle down. I covered 1k of my 2k position, then added that 1k back in when it failed to go green on the day. Covered the 2k position I was holding at that point a few minutes later.
