Missed Trade August 1, 2025 - Profit

I was looking for shorts all the way down during a strong downtrend. After a break of the channel, we got a nice second entry short (2ES). I tried to enter but didn’t get filled — and in hindsight, that was lucky since it got stopped out. The bar right after formed a great double trap, but since price had pulled back so far, I got scared and passed on it. I really should have entered on a limit order here, but yeah… easier said than done.
