Shorted when it looked like the stock was going to reverse as it broke under moving averages and stayed there.

Stopped out very quickly as the stock spiked.

The intra-day setup was ideal for a short. But I have found it frustrating, at least 70% of the time, when I try to short a stock that is in an upswing on the daily. I have had WAY more up days since I decided to just leave alone trade setups that were contradicting to the daily chart.

Looking at the 30min chart it was still in a uptrend. You have to align your trades on multiple time frames. It bounce right off the 9ema.
