Actual Development

Good points
- No good points
Bad Points
- Taking the trade knowing price was trading into a big round number 2000 with a huge imbalance at the open
- Trading into W1/D1 QHi
- IBR had traded over 0.6xASR so is considered to be wide and evne less likely for a sustained auction
- Taking the trade off after realizing it was a bad trading idea. I considered putting this under good points. But since I did not adhere to my exit rules I decided to put it here.
