GBP/AUD Trade Idea

Short
AGreaves91 Updated   
OANDA:GBPAUD   British Pound / Australian Dollar
This is my first post for anyone reading this so bear with me.
I am currently watching this pair for a potential short to around 1.8400 region for the following reasons.
- Break of market structure (bearish trend broken)
- Sustained bullish trend (wave 3 complete)
- Price decelerated into the lows of the trend and consolidated for a long time showing lots of indecision before an impulsive move followed by a
correction and another impulse meaning a correction and higher low is imminent
- 3rd touch of channel highs
- 4hr shooting star/pinbar rejecting resistance zone/psych level at 1.8550 and channel highs.
- 2nd impulse (wave 3) is an almost identical clone of the first, a clone of the correction would take you nicely into the channel lows
- Highs of the last impulse/swing high lines up perfectly with channel low and predicted correction clone at 1.8400
- Price currently trading just under the 61.8% daily fib zone

*If this trade plays out as expected i will then be looking to go long from the 1.8400 region into new highs*
Comment:
I had placed a sell limit at 1.8535 with SL at 1.8560 just above minor resistance and the channel top.
Although Manufacturing Pmi came in under forecast sterling continued its rally higher taking out my stop loss.

Looking back on this trade, it was a bad idea to trade against the trend so moving forward I will not take another trade against the trend unless a clear reversal is present.
Trade closed: stop reached
