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.

• Prod­uct
  • Gold
• Open Sen­ti­ment
  • Open 0.07xASR Above Val­ue, With­in Range, Mod­er­ate Imbalance,
• IBR
  • 0.44xASR
• Hypo
  • 1
  • Val­ue Accep­tance to Sus­tained Auc­tion Down
• Set­up
  • Sus­tained Auc­tion Down
• Pro­posed Entry Technique
  • Break of IB, although due to the val­ue accep­tance being so deep an entry at re-test of val­ue edge would’ve been bet­ter but this nev­er came
  • I tried a sell lim­it order after C TPO had extend­ed below but my order got missed by 2–3 pips (even though I had put sell lim­it order low­er than usual)
• SL Place­ment
  • I used a 30 pip SL even though the stan­dard was 40 pips. The more I am writ­ing this review the more I am think­ing it might not have been a missed trade after all. I believe the lead­ing nar­ra­tive was the Devel­op­ing H4 Three Inside Down with the val­ue accep­tance as a ‘OODA loop cri­te­ria’ to mon­i­tor for confirmation.

• Trade Dura­tion
  • With­in one hour 2R tar­get would’ve been hit
• Long/Short
  • Short
• Lead­ing Narrative

  • Val­ue Accep­tance fol­lowed by a rota­tion through val­ue indi­cat­ing a pos­si­bil­i­ty for a sus­tained auction
• Rea­son for miss­ing the trade
  • I was late to get to my desk after being caught up at work. 
• Result

Good points

• Good that I didn’t chase the market
• Good that I tried to find an entry that fit my risk cri­te­ria and when I couldn’t that I let it go

Bad Points

• I guess I could’ve been at my desk ear­li­er but some­times life gets in the way which is no biggy
