1. Background was weak at the time of entry
2. Enter in a low volume up bar near a down trendline
3. Exited on the trailing stop. There was a minor signal (the first dot), but I wait for 2 of those to exit. Later there were strong demand signals which provided exit opportunities, with the market reversing right after it.
