Just curious, Fibo, but why did you start shorting (1) before a retest of the high and (2) without a confirmation signal that the trend had reversed? And, BTW, how far away is your hard stop if the recent market gyrations turn into a replay of the brief 1998 bear market following the collapse of LTCM that turned into blow off top? Not a forecast, but you know the old saw, "The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent." I actually think shorting the retest high is worth a swing at the ball, but you seem to have started swinging while the pitcher was still winding up.
some people are very good in counter trend trading.
I don't know how to do it
