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)
Prev. Day Exceeded ADR by 1.24x. H4 consolidated at D1 50MA in UT and broke up. With the previous day having exceeded ADR and the general long bias of equities the sentiment was Bullish. Price opened within Value and IB traversed higher 0.52xASR. D extended and closed above IB but did not coincide with a rejection of value. E TPO made a HH and then proceeded to close within IB coinciding with a M15 Bear Engulf.
The reason that I did not take this trade is because I did not include it in my hypos but also because there were 2 TPOs that extended above IB making a Failed Auction less probable. Equities having a long-bias, and trend is up 3/3.
Even though at the time I did think this was going to run through IB due to the D1 narrative. The D1 narrative was a possible Phase 4 and continuation to the move after a pullback to H4 VWAP.
