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)

Due to the huge imbal­ance and ADR get­ting exhaust­ed dur­ing Asia I expect­ed strength behind the move. A con­tin­u­a­tion to the H4 phase 4 with ‘D1 back to orig­i­nat­ing lev­el’ nar­ra­tive. Instead there was a bit of a mean rever­sion. I hes­i­tat­ed going in on an IB break to the upside due to this. Then visu­al­ized if there is a sus­tained auc­tion I could get in per­haps on a pull­back to IB edge for a late-sus­tained auc­tion entry. This did not come. 

(EDIT) Notes:

• Review­ing this the next day. H4 had dropped to H4 200MA (price usu­al­ly pulls back and rarely crash­ing right through) so a pull­back could be expected. 
• Plus H4 PA down did­n’t have much of a pull­back yet. With arrival at H4 QLo there is a high­er prob­a­bil­i­ty of price slow­ing down, pos­si­bly form­ing a Base / Inside Bar.
