Lets try something new...UK100 Short trade setup
Updated
Normally I only trade Forex pairs and it has been a while since I last traded any indexes. But I was strolling through markets and saw this opportunity so I analyzed quick and opened a short trade @7216.
My quick analysis
The Market has reversed at the end of July and stayed in a Down Trend ever since. Now we can clearly see Resistance @7305 so that gives us a nice opportunity to go short and aim for a Lower Low. In this setup I used the Fibonacci Retracement tool to look for a TP level and found one @6992 (fib 0.618). The Market is already down -0.47% while writing this text so I don't know if there will be a good window of opportunity for long. My StopLoss is set @7336 I don't know what to expect of the duration for this trade but I have patience and confidence.
Lets wait and see what happens!

Trade closed: stop reached
I raised my SL to 7345 but still got stomped out of the trade. I still think the setup was good, so I will keep this index on my watchlist.
