From a conditional short scenario to an actual trade

The 5 November New York Heat Map preferred Plan A short for NAS, with outside-day and outside-H8 rotation context. It still required a convincing rollover toward the lows and allowed skipping an unclear early blowoff.

NAS coiled sideways into New York. The preparation was conditional: Gold and Silver were Plan B, while Dow had a conditional Plan A long. The Heat Map was not a blanket bearish call.

When the open broke the lows, I entered short, targeting the previous-day low. This was discretionary open-break execution.

I cut after ten minutes. My recorded result was +300 points / +8R. I did not hold the trade to the planned target.

Separate the scenario from the trigger and the planned target from the actual exit. The preparation PDF existed before the trade report, after the preparation call; it documents the conditional scenario, not a hindsight entry instruction.
