Perfect morning short continuation. I wish I hit the entry closer to $59.80 on that little bear flag but I missed it. I knew it would go though as it had tapped that $59.6 area like 6 or 7 times the previous day. I adjusted size to give myself a 40-50c stop ($120-150 risk) and it worked perfectly as I got an immediate flush. I covered half and then added it back on the bear flag for another significant dump. I covered the last half when it failed to break $58.00. Overall a really nice trade.

Nope just the five min. There's a post on my blog about this setup called the continuation short. I actually chased this a lot ... There was an opp at both 60.25ish and 59.80 and I waited allllll the way til 59.58! I could have gotten almost another buck out of it!

nice trade man! quick question though.. when you first entered this trade, were you stalking it on a 5min timeframe or still using 1min charts since it was still pretty early in the day at 10:15... just curious thanks!
