January 5, 2022 – least shitty trade

setup 1 min

shorted 20 @ 178.06, expecting a second leg down. Rather stupidly I was buying at the bottom of a trading range that would play out over the next couple of hours
under the same logic shorted another 50 at the pullback to the ema

setup 60 min

expected a bear channel to develop after spike. Looking for at least 3 bars in channel

outcome 5 min

after two hours of trading range behaviour, mostly sitting on negative equity, having bought at the bottom of a trading range, the price action broke out in a bearish direction.

outcome 1m chart
