UK100 - potential head and shoulders on 1 hour chart

193
Watching the UK100 for a potential short entry.

A head and shoulders pattern appears to be forming on the 1-hour chart. All my entry variables are currently met, but I’m holding off for now.

The UK100 will close in the next hour or two, and I prefer not to open a large position overnight due to potential slippage from market gaps. I’ll wait until tomorrow to see if my conditions are still valid before entering.

Trade Details:
📊 Risk/Reward: 3.5
🎯 Entry: 9 174.7
🛑 Stop Loss: 9 204.9
💰 Take Profit 1 (50%): 9 090.8
💰 Take Profit 2 (50%): 9 042.2

#GTradingMethod Tip: Always consider market timing and overnight risk when entering trades.
