Not enough to have a look at the rules in my opinion, they have to be printed and in front of you for a while, that is what I did, after that you can ride the bike very easily.

On any buy order whether it is entry or stop loss we add spread. On any sell order whether it is entry or stop loss we DO NOT add spread, that is because charts plot the bid price.

Yes, the current bar when closed is a setup bar to go short and it maybe the best point to start, still 3 hours left to close.

I read your post again, your chart shows that bar 1 has the lower low but you say that bar 2 is lower than bar 1. Whichever has the lower low is the setup bar after it closes, obviously bar 1 has already closed
