Haven't seen a Persistent Trend Day Down model seems like awhile. But did try to get short at the larger pullback mid morning, but came and went too quickly for my too-careful outlook. The counter trend bounces proved pretty good in TF, so finished up ok, but the big miss was the Opening short trade at the ORB. These always require quick recognition, as there is sometimes less than one minute from the time the setup finishes til the entry level is triggered. No hesitation allowed. Be focused. Have your coffee before the market starts. You're an intraday trader. Setups occur quickly and must be recognized and acted upon without delay.
