Wednesday's trades

Another boring day for me. Went short CMI off a break of the 5th bar low (10-min). I misread the spread size and calculated the wrong amount of shares (too many) but things seemed to work out at first. Unfortunately, $32 was a strong support area and I scaled out for a very small loss.
I will be patient.

I would have expected that to work - the only things you could maybe have done was looking for reversal near round number Support & LOD, or taking partials at like 2R or +/-2%. Stillit never even PB'ed to .382 on X-fibbo system.
