mrkx,
Your analysis (with respect to trend) is exactly correct.
The Chikou clearly shows Bullish sentiment and the Kijun shows an UP trend in the short to medium time frames.
All that was taken into account ... however, this was a "counter-trend trade" ... or, at least it was meant to be. A counter-trend trade is obviously a trade AGAINST the prevailing trend ... thus the name.
The ... ah hem ... "funny" thing about this was ... I actually had a nice profit on the trade.
That "profit" has now disappeared ... and then some.
In other words, the filter did it's job ... the trader (ie. me) ... DIDN'T !!!
---
I feel (however) like there is still a very good chance I will be just fine. fwiw

...I am expecting further damage (to my account)...
...I WILL "hunker" down and absorb it...
...I liken it to a sub...sitting on the bottom of the ocean...dead silent...enduring the inevitable "depth charge assault"...
... uhhh ... BRING IT !!!

For SPY, the up trend appears to be cracking with close below kijun. There needs to be a follow through in a few days for confirmation.
