I have been playing oscillations today due to range-bound behavior. Both my trades 3 and 4 were both based on shorting an overbought condition. Trade 3 entry was too early and I was stopped out for -1.75, Trade 4 I got better entry/confirmation and got between +1.25 and +1.75 on heavier size. Important to note that trade 3 I shorted while the 3 minute stochastics had been embedded in high bands for 9 bars or so, which is a condition for being a bear trap, it is better to wait for the stochastics to get under 80 and stop being embedded as I did for trade 4. Also, a 233 tick chart divergence between MACD and price had developed for my trade 4 which gave me more confidence it would work on the second try.
