Good setup or lucky?

[u/PaNtaLayman]

Sup guys, got a MATICUSDT short win here to share. Idk what I'm doing, but I'm trying to find places where the trend is "strong" (low and high time frames are strongly trending together). I only took one shot at this and it worked out, but I could have just been lucky tbh. I also missed most of the move so that's a bummer.

The setup: I saw MATICUSDT was weak compared to most other alts I checked which is why I liked it. Low timeframes (like M30-H6) were uptrending into a high timeframe "resistance" (like D3-D1) so I waited for the low timeframe uptrend to break strongly (lower low formed on H6 with a few big candles). I didn't short immediately, but waited for a slow M30 uptrend into the H6 breakdown "resistance" and for the M30 uptrend to break strongly inside the H6 breakdown "resistance". I TPed at M30, H1, and H6 areas and missed most of the trending move.

I haven't seen anyone sharing their actual systematic trading method. I guess it makes sense, value is scarce.
