• Entry Tech­nique
  • D TPO extend­ed below IB, M15 had formed a Bull Engulf but fol­lowed by a M15 Bear­ish Inside Bar and a pos­si­ble M15 base. The con­se­quent devel­op­ing DBD extend­ed IB. On a Pull­back to IB I went short with a full position.
  • When price dove deep­er into IBR test­ing devel­op­ing M15 RBR I decid­ed to cut my posi­tion in half and re-enter with anoth­er position
  • Sad­ly I entered with anoth­er full posi­tion so had to cut half of this one as well as to have 1R risk on the table.

Actu­al Development

• D TPO closed below IB and then low liq­uid­i­ty dur­ing E TPO smashed tar­get and even­tu­al­ly accept­ed val­ue and rotat­ed through

Good points

• Tak­ing the trade
• I was some­what patient and focused on oth­er things while the trade was developing
• Good that I real­ized I could get a bet­ter entry and cut off siz­ing to add more at a bet­ter price
• I believe due to the lack of liq­uid­i­ty my demo plat­form bro­ker cut off the trade at a high­er price (due to wider spread) orig­i­nat­ing in a low­er prof­it. Luck­i­ly my real bro­ker has a fixed spread and cut it off accord­ing­ly at the target. 

Bad Points

• In my prep I wrote I would wait for a close below IB before get­ting involved so I jumped the gun on this one. I was tired yes­ter­day and this must’ve affect­ed my judgment
• I fum­bled cut­ting my posi­tion in half and then adding for a bet­ter entry. I added anoth­er full posi­tion and had to cut that up in half again.
• Then when price moved in my direc­tion I cov­ered one half to cov­er the loss­es incurred with my fum­bling. The oth­er half hit the tar­get and end­ed up low­er than intend­ed. Progress but far from per­fect. I was tired and def­i­nite­ly not think­ing my best.  I will con­tin­ue work­ing on this.
