Actual Development
D TPO closed as a Hammer, E closed down and followed into a DBD. I TPO formed a Bull Engulf with no continuation as H4 had closed confidently down the price continued lower hitting 2R.
Good points
- Taking the trade
- Hesitated entry on break of IB due to C TPO closing as a Marubozu below IB but with price trading at round number with a huge imbalance. Wanted a bit more confirmation which came later. Good that I entered then.
Bad Points
- I think I did well but perhaps I could’ve entered on a break of IB. I still think it was the best call due to trading at round number and nearby demand.
