Trade closed: stop reached
After entering the next 15min candle which was also the close of the 30min candle closed back above my breakout point.

The following 15min candle broke the high of the previous 15min and failed to create a low.

It looked like we began creating a level of support for a possible retracement. So I closed out 40% of my position.

I also noticed my entry lined up directly with minor 30min support.

Shortly after my initial stop was triggered.

1st Stop: 40%@-8.9
2nd Stop: 60%@14.6

In hindsight it's clear that the initial 4hr clean traffic had too much traffic on lower timeframes.
