This YouTube tutorial (by Kardec Trader) explains short-selling tactics and precise timing cues for intraday/short-term trades. In this chunk the speaker advises entering ("attack") once price "goes red" and—critically—when it crosses under the previous day's close; they also warn to limit position size if shorting in anticipation because the move may not confirm and a rebound can occur.
The moment that it goes red, you attack here, and then it's just straight down. So what I found is oftentimes when I first started doing this, I'd maybe short a little bit here, maybe I would short a little bit there, and then you might see a little bit of a bounce. It's not confirmed. So if you are shorting ahead of time, if you are anticipating the move, be prepared to not use a lot of size because you might have the wrong day. It might end up doing a little bit of this kind of comes back down. Right before it's about to do it, it rebounds back. Right. If you're going to take a little bit of a piece, you could take it before, but you have to reserv your size for when that moment that it crosses under the previous day's close.
