              That AU short trade was reasonable.

              Pros:
              – highs taken
              – some IR targets
              – some longies at least
              – etc.

              Just a DM switch happened and destroyed the setup.
              AND, the longies left (see how the green squeeze line collapsed).

                  will you just close the trade if you see a small DM switch or does it have to be a significant switch before treating the trade as invalid?

                  Hi,

                  that NU trade was not a good setup.

                  Cons:
                  – trading a reversal against an expanding red squeeze line (meaning that more and more shorties are entering the market)
                  – no proper DM switch
                  – no good targets below
                  – fake resistance level above price (which then got taken)

                  Just because the price touched the upper band, one should not have traded here.

                  Anyways, you live and you learn Tim.
