This is how I analyze and take short (sell) position on B300. The analysis of B300 below is on Trading View.
As shown above, I used the 4 hour timeframe and I watch the reaction of price at the previous high to see if it will break up. The reaction of price at my POINT OF INTEREST (POI) encourage me to place a sell, I put a tight stop loss. For the trade above, my take profit was at the previous low that produced the previous high which act as my POI.

- Then watch the reaction of the price at your POI before taking any decision
When do you Buy Boom 300?
In selling Boom 300, you are monitoring the reaction of price at higher high (HH), but in buying Boom 300 you are monitoring price reaction at Lower Low (LL).
The process is the same, if there is a price rejection at LL, then there is a great possibility of a buy, you can use the long position tool to set your entry and stop loss. If there is no price rejection, then there will be a sell continuation, if you were not on the sell at the initial stage, it always good to stay off the market and wait till it gets to the next LL, then you monitor price reaction before taking a decision.
In summary
- Wait for price to get to LL (your POI)
- Watch price action at that point, if there is a rejection, then the buy possibility is high, if there is no price rejection, then the possibility of sell continuation is high.
