Thanks for quick response. to be honest, I am not convinced by your explanation.
what I think is that your 5/29 trade with margin should be closed on the 2nd or 3rd day of those 11 down days. this will enable you to get in again to trade the consolidation range or swing long in September when the consolidation is broken.
No one sure it is a trap or not, we have to wait for the market to confirm it as Livermore said in his book.
He also said:"I never buy on reactions or go short on rallies".
anyway, hope you would share more your actual trades and like to learn.

For your questions below.
Chart-reading is just part of the Technical Analysis.
There was an on-the-fly post at the timing that the market was assumed terrible :
My reading was that it's a big bear trap because there was an 11 days' down-in-a-row while the down size was not much amid the fact that some down days started with high open.
So, what will follow after a big bear trap? Must be a sizzling bull trend! So, adding long position is quite comfortably certain!

I have the same question. Looks like your entry is based on key support. When it's broken, should you exit to protect capital? I had bloody lesson for not setting up stop loss.
Thanks for great articles. I am often thrilled when reading. Truly fantastic experience. I hope to figure out something more executable based on your insightful information.
