Could be--However,I prefer the grail to be during reg trading hours simply because there is more movement. Euro Fx would be better for you in the overnight as it has better movement in your morning time. For example, the short grail presented itself twice in the overnight with good results.

Or your stop just needs to be farther out. I was stopped at 1279.25, but have reentered short here with 10 units at 1278.25. Stop is 1282.25

3.25 was the maximum risk I was willing to take on that trade, it was not based on my usual criteria for an intraday entry, to be frank it was a mistake to open that trade, I admit it. I already have a short position at the same entry level and there just was not enough reasons to go short at that time.

BTW what were your thoughts at the time when you closed first short and later re-entered at almost same level, did you see something in the chart?

Hourly BRD in Histogram--No RSI confirm but the idea is to be in and gradually increase size.

Long 1276.75 Naz is looking strong shorts are loaded. Where is the sell volume here?
