My largest futures position is being short the 10 year.
It completed a H&S top a few trading days back which I shorted here. Below is a close up of the right shoulder.
Some setups retest the support level. Above, you see the former support now became resistance. Depending on the risk/reward, I will make my position larger at the retest. A break to the upside of 138, invalidates the H&S top and knocks me out of the position. At the 137.5 retest mark, I had a low risk high reward setup. I doubled my short position at this point.
Now here is an important observation. I will be very aggressive in moving my stops down to a breakeven point. Why? Because any attempt to retest this resistance line again would indicate that the pattern is not going to play out. Any type of lingering around the breakout point is a sign to bail out. Constant retest of the breakout point is another sign to bail. Adhering to this has saved me hundreds of thousands of trading dollars over the years. Most recent was the long Yen trade. The key to this game is risk management. Your trading plan is almost irrelevant.
