One third of the trade closes at each target, and the stop moves to the entry after target 1.
The 1-hour trend on the Nasdaq 100 is firmly down amid negative sentiment and tech stock selloffs. On the 5-minute chart, price recently printed a lower high at 26925 before pulling back. We place a limit sell order at 26915 to catch a retest of this intraday resistance. The stop loss goes above the day's high at 27046 to protect against whipsaws. Initial targets are set at the 26800 support and the 26693 morning low. The position will be held through the 09:30 Fed's Williams speech but cleared before the 13:30 NFP.

The limit sell order was filled at 26915 during the 08:20 UTC bar. Price initially moved in favour, reaching a low of 26858.2 (0.38R) by 08:30 UTC. However, the bearish momentum stalled, and price began a steady climb. This rally breached the day's high and hit the stop loss at 27055 during the 09:20 UTC bar.
The strategy expected the intraday lower high at 26925 and the daily high of 27046 to defend the position, but the steady bullish retracement invalidated both levels.
Lesson: No clear lesson: the setup was valid and the stop was hit by normal volatility.

High Risk means at least one check flagged this trade. Size it smaller, or skip it if you only follow Cautious signals. This signal was published before risk tags existed; its tag was added afterwards, from the facts at its publish time.
Higher-timeframe downtrend helps, but the stop sits only nine points above the day high into a speech.
Not enough closed signals scored 50-59 yet (8 of 20 needed), so there is no measured hit rate to show.
Confidence is a score from 0 to 100 given by an AI model. It is checked against how signals in the same band really ended, so treat the measured rate as the evidence, not the score. Reading a track record
