Updates - 18 March 2017:

- Seems like the price will be held lower and hopefully my PT will reach by next week.
Trade closed: stop reached:
Updates 26 March 2017:
- Set up stopped out
- Big mistake: the 21 March bullish marobozu off the 20MA is a 2nd signal that confirmed the turn of short term term.
- I should have exited the trade given the signal shown. Because of day and night work commitment i failed to picked that up.

Lesson learned:
- I need to resume my daily routine to look at my trades
- This loss reinforced my criteria of 2nd Bullish signal in a short trade is definitely a sign to quit
