EDGE Short Strategy
A repeatable process for trading the short side of extended small caps
The EDGE Short Strategy is the short-side playbook built around the Northern Algo EDGE framework. It is written for traders who want a defined process instead of reacting to every extension that appears on the scanner.
You will learn how to evaluate failed extensions, weakening participation, and exhaustion behavior, then structure entries, invalidation, and trade management around that context.

EDGE Short Strategy Overview
Most short-side losses come from treating every large green candle as exhaustion. The EDGE framework starts with context: where price is sitting, how participation is behaving, and whether the extension still has real demand behind it.
From there the playbook defines what a valid short looks like, where that idea is wrong, and how to manage the position once it is on. The goal is a short process you can repeat and review, not a single pattern to hunt.
