Breakdown trades continue to be tricky. I chose the YM because it had been the weaker up the point where breakdown levels were being reached by the TF and YM. But the TF took over bear leadership signals just a few minutes prior to that, and I ignored it. I missed the good bear trade because I had been slow to the signs of change in structure. The market is seldom logical, but it is always fair. Stay alert. Stay focused.
