- Late-sustained auction entry
- Risky due to trading into D1 QHi so price would need to take out and close above previous day’s high
- Possible entry off re-test of IB high
- Attempted Setup
- Late-Sustained Auction entry
- Entry Technique
- Re-test of IB high after C TPO close above taking out LTF supply
- SL placement
- Standard SL placement (30)
- TPO period for Entry
- D TPO
- Trade Duration
- 0h32m
- Long/Short
- Long
- Leading Narrative
- Moderate Imbalance with open above value sentiment
- C TPO closing above IB taking out LTF supply
- Weak D1 Evening Star with W1 Three Outside Up preceding, potential for new D1 supply to get taken out
Actual Development
- D TPO closed as a Bearish Inside Bar failing the auction and what followed was a rotation through IBR
- A reversal followed by a Failed Auction would have yielded 1.7R which was the play I should’ve taken
Good points
- Waiting for the trade to develop (although not completely as listed under bad points) before getting involved
Bad Points
- C TPO did close above IB taking out LTF supply although it did not hold above yesterday’s high as was my plan
- M15 showed a reversal although a weak M15 Evening Star a reversal nonetheless
- Trading at H4/D1 QHi
