3
Hypo 1 – Sustained Auction Down
Narrative: D1 Supply, M30 Three Inside Down permarket,
Preferred: IB extension down, sustained auction (taper profit target due to a wide value)
Con: D1 Bullish narrative
Hypo 2 – Value Rejection Up / Sustained Auction Up
Narrative: D1/W1 Bullish narrative
Preferred: IB extension UP, sustained auction taking out D1 demand
Con: Open within value, ADR nearly exhausted
Hypo 3 – Value Rejection Failure / Failed Auction
Preferred: price extends above and fails to find business. ADR exhaustion right above.
Hypo 4 – Auction Fade
Narrative: Hypo 2 plays out, D1 Supply Pop gives an LTF reaction. Exhausts ADR
Preferred: TPO structure and PA reversal, target to IB edge
Con: D1 Bullish narrative
Hypo 5 – Auction Fade

Focus Points for trading development
Monthly Goals
No momentum trades on Non-Farm Fridays
Total of 13 trades by the end of the month
Weekly Goal
Min. 3 times working out at home + mandatory cardio
Use SL scaling in case the profit target for the setup doesn’t provide 2R for example for FA or VAA setups
Risk Management
Without forcing a trade: aim to take 1 trade a day, if possible 2.
Capital Preservation during drawdown allows for 1R profit-taking
