Counter-Trend Trade of the Day

Red Line = Stop Loss
Black Line = Entry Point
2nd Red Line = Stop Profit
Green Lines = Closing of Trade 

I consider this trade as a counter-trend trade, as the general trend for yesterday market was bullish, and SHI was showing upwards at the time of entry. (Not shown in this chart)

This trade entered was kind of impulsive, as 1 of the indicators, the CCI did not show signal to short (Look at the black square drawn). However I decided to make the entry based on the other signals, the wave pattern, and QQE. 

But most importantly, there was a negative divergence (Look at the black arrows drawn) seen on the chart before the Tokyo market opens. These signals give me an idea that the market trend throughout the day is likely to be bullish, thus the entry I made after a red candle formed below the EMA bands. 

Update (20:54) : Closed half of the trade at 131.50
Update (00:18) : Maunally closed the trade at 131.62, London market had closed an hour ago, and time to rest for the day.
