XLC, Short

63
Market went into red trading mode on April 6th for QQQ, and on SPY as of today . That puts SPY and QQQ below their daily 21 ema's and I see some stage 4 downtrends in the works on certain groups too . XLC is one of the weakest groups .

To short something I want to see:

1)QQQ/SPY in downtrends and below their 21 emas , we have this .

2)LL ( lower lows ) and HL ( Higher lows ) structure and even better would be stage 4 DT's on instrument we are shorting , we have this too .

Risk will be managed similarly to my longs but I am going to sell 1/2 at 2R and then set a breakeven stop , whereas with my longs I am selling 1/3rd at 2R and maintaining original stop . I might change the short side trade management still getting my bearings with shorts .

Anyhow ,

XLC , Short
entry 61.17
initial target 64.27

risk 0.5%

Note
correction HL should say LH on chart
