  • Wait­ed for a pull­back to IB high, got put off by a poten­tial M5 rever­sal, but con­sid­ered the pos­si­bil­i­ty for a low ini­tia­tive activ­i­ty sus­tained auc­tion as D TPO had made a HH and went long anyway

Actu­al Development

• D TPO closed as an Inside Bar above IB sus­tain­ing the auction
• Expec­ta­tion is for a con­tin­u­a­tion which came in E clos­ing high­er although not con­fi­dent­ly F took price high­er hit­ting target

Good points

• Great that I trad­ed even though not being the sharpest I could still focus on the nar­ra­tive unfold­ing through read­ing of price action and pro­file. Although did struggle. 
• Great that I went long any­way even though price close fur­ther away from IB, price could have seen a faster con­tin­u­a­tion and I would’ve missed the trade completely
• Then great that I aver­aged in by cut­ting posi­tion in half and then re-enter­ing at a bet­ter price when price pulled back.

Bad Points

• Trade went to 1.7R
