Play: Value Acceptance to Return to Value
#fintwit #orderflow #daytrading #tradingreview #priceaction #chartreview #GBPNZD #missedtrade
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’.
