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)

Price opened with a mod­er­ate imbal­ance below val­ue, with­in range. Due to the near-prox­im­i­ty to the val­ue edge I did not want to go long with­out an accep­tance. That and W1 sup­ply being with­in val­ue I decid­ed the bet­ter play would be a Return to Val­ue play. This came rather late into the ses­sion. G TPO formed a Grave­stone Doji and LTF showed a pos­si­ble rever­sal. M15 closed uncon­vinc­ing­ly so I decid­ed to let it go. This was fol­lowed by a M15 Bull Engulf so at first I was hap­py with not tak­ing the trade. How­ev­er then price did even­tu­al­ly go down and the trade would have been a good ‘buffer trade’.
