A trader identifies a 'single-print low' in Corn (ZC) where only 4 contracts trade at the bid. The bar closes 30 ticks higher. The trader enters long but price immediately stalls. They notice new selling imbalances forming just above their entry.
What is the best action?
- Add to the position at the lower price.
- Hold the trade as the single-print low is a strong floor.
- Exit the trade immediately due to conflicting signals.
- Move the stop to the low of the entry bar.
