Trade Setup

Strategy: S2 Trend Continuation — SHORT

This strategy enters during strong directional moves when momentum indicators confirm continuation. Instead of waiting for a pullback, it rides the wave by entering on momentum breakouts within the trend.

The algorithm detected a strong downtrend with high momentum and bearish confirmation. It went short to capture the continuation of the powerful downward move.

Stop-loss was placed at $33,204 (2.8% risk) and take-profit at $30,996 (9.2% reward), giving a risk/reward ratio of 1:3.3. Leverage: 5x.
