I saw a nice descending triangle form on the 5 min SP charts today as you can see... I have drawn in the descending triangle on the chart and the baseline. I shorted at the top of the triangle but as it had already made almost a triple bottom, I was expecting it to fall through netting big bucks! However, the fourth time it reach the baseline, it didn't fall through but bounced up stronger and through the triangle, taking out my stop. I feel frustrated that it didn't work out..

As I mentioned, I am watching price action on the S&P and I missed a great trade. If you look at the black upwards trendline I have drawn on the chart, you will see that the market used this as support as it made it's way up a few times. It then broke this support line and chopped for a bit even bouncing off this as overhead resistance... this would have been a good short or, to await for confirmation, a break below 1362. The market then just fell and there would have been some great profits

I also put in a short trade on the CHFJPY with a trailing 50 point stop loss. The market hit a double bottom at 100.18 and has bounced up to hit the 61.8% Fibonacci level. The stochastics have also crossed towards the downside. All looks good you may say.. however, I am not 100% confident of this trade for the following reasons:
The stochastics crossed at the 60 level. A clean cross should happen either above 80 and move downwards or below 20 and move upwards
Very strong upwards momentum
