Why this trade?
- ETC had been unusually calm, with its smallest price swings in weeks.
- Then it broke out of that calm range downward.
- Quiet stretches like this often end with a strong move, and this one points down.
What we checked
- Bigger trend (daily chart). The daily trend is up. This short goes against it; in testing that still worked, a little less often.
- 4-hour trend. The 4-hour trend is sideways.
- Real selling, not a blip. Trading volume was above normal.
- Safe at 10x leverage. Liquidation would be near 9.9338, well past the stop at 9.5079.
In 6 years of testing, about 55 in 100 of these reached take profit, and a win pays the same as a loss costs.
