Well, if you read the chart, it has 20 MA, which is used as a visual guide. The trend is obviously down as can be seen basis Lower Low, MA slope is also down, and failure of the pullback to the 20 MA. The trade setup is using a combination of Price Action, Psychology and failure of trend reversal:
The three bar upmove is to force the shorts to cover – (this is psychology), entry is made when this fails, (Price Action – entry below low of the previous bar – and Trend reversal – failure of pullback)
A word of caution here while using MA – Post facto, the slope of MA is looking perfect for shorting now, however on the day of the pullback, the MA slope would be quite different. The down bars have pulled the MA lower, and AFTER this has happened, the opportunity to short looks perfect – A problem that happens while using indicators.
DSM, in the attached chart, can you point out the name of the strategy? I saw a similar post by Oliver in one of his video on youtube. But I don't know the name of the strategy. Thanks!
