Got it....makes sense.

Thanks in advance

One other noteworthy item - (EO Please advise if this factored in at all) - the green candle prior to shorting (I believe) was a long full bodied candle that closed with almost zero top wick, which is one of many things that can be used/considered while looking for a reversal type position.

Yes, you are correct, I didn't get in because was not sure of the closing above the wick. Now that I know....I'll be ready for the next time.

Great trade EO.....

Great point NYJ....

Just to clarify, you took the short at 4360 because of the exhausted candle with very little wick? I also have a trend line in that area.

I was prompted to look for the short from the prior pin we got. I waited for the price to move up the wick of that pin, just so happens, the following candle did exhaust itself along with the pin to go short. SL was 25 over wick price.
