These are trades I could have tak­en but for some rea­son I did not. This could be due to me not pay­ing atten­tion or sim­ply not feel­ing like trad­ing. This is usu­al­ly the case when I am not in the right state of mind due to lack of sleep, per­son­al issues, etc.

Rea­son for miss­ing the trade (explain the narrative)

Larg­er time­frame bull­ish sen­ti­ment. Pull­back on D1. Open 0.26xASR above val­ue, out­side range. Large imbal­ance but still rel­a­tive­ly close to val­ue edge. Val­ue got accept­ed but to go short in equi­ties an open below val­ue sen­ti­ment is more favored. 

After price rotat­ed about 90% through val­ue hit­ting M30 QLo after C and D extend­ed below the lat­ter closed with­in IB as a Bull­ish Inside Bar. This was the entry signal. 

I didn’t get in long as there were 2 TPOs that made a LL below IB and E had trad­ed below IB as well so hes­i­tat­ed. I know that the actu­al play was a Frankie Fake­out set­up coin­cid­ing with a Failed Auction.

How was the SL place­ment and sizing?

Trade 1

SL place­ment: I used a stan­dard SL siz­ing in the screen­shot but this could have been tighter cre­at­ing a bet­ter R mul­ti­ple. This is my main goal going forth. I need to get bet­ter R‑multiples to have a bet­ter expectancy. 

How was the prof­it target?

Trade 1

Prof­it tar­get: 2+ R at IB High
