XLK , SHORT

I would consider this a C trade.

Here's why

Cons

1) the stop is far ,
2) missed the little pop at the end of day , could have had a slightly better stop vs entry distance ( I did enter in final 30 min per my
rules , however ...)
3) we have not cleared the range, big bars are common in ranges .
4) LL , DB , MTR could be a possibility , would have rather seen several more bull days , perhaps a rally to Apri 18th low to reject
before getting my entry.... ( lower low , double bottom , major trend reversal )

Pros

1) Bulls failed to have follow through from yesterdays FOMC rally signal candle
2) Stage 4 downtrend w/ death cross valid
3) If we do breakdown more bears will sell the entry candle and follow-through candle ...
4) Possibility for a measured move down
5) Valid signal per my strat and market in RTM ( red trading mode )

Ultimately I have taken the trade anyways because I have been waiting for this and even though its a weak signal , it is a signal. I have gotten more defensive on my de risk plan too though ....

I am taking profits on 1/3 at 1R and there I will switch to BE stop .... then will cover another 1/3 at 2R , then sell the rest on a close above 10/21 ema's.

Stop 147.01
PT 133.49


Note
Defensive move on stop to BE this morning
Note
sold 1/4 at 1R today .. BE stop on balance
Note
covered more at 1.5 R today , down to half . stop adj to 139.37..
Trade closed: stop reached
Balance closed out on friday via protective stop
