• Lead­ing Narrative
  • Asia formed a Neu­tral Day but pre­dom­i­nant­ly trad­ed down
  • D1 closed with­in D1 demand and made a LL after already pre­vi­ous day exceed­ing ADR by 1.64
  • Trend is Down 2/3
  • IB exten­sion down and D mak­ing LL

Actu­al Development

• D closed with­in IB as a Drag­on­fly Doji, E trad­ed deep­er with­in IB fail­ing the auc­tion and tak­ing out my SL

Good points

• Tak­ing my stop — I was think­ing to cut the trade and reverse to go long. But I need to be com­fort­able again to just take my stop as I want to walk away from trades and do oth­er things. So I did well on that part. 
• Not feel­ing both­ered by hav­ing made this mis­take. Learn and move on. 

Bad Points

• Screen­shot soft­ware froze up and took awhile to restart so I was late tak­ing a screen­shot but luck­i­ly man­aged before my SL got hit
• Large imbal­ance at the open
• Trad­ing right into D1 demand with­out hav­ing C or D clos­ing below IB for a Late-Sus­tained Auc­tion entry — jumped the gun on the trade
• H4 Sup­ply low in dis­tri­b­u­tion curve more like­ly to get tak­en out
• Did not write my DRC due to being busy with oth­er work
