- Narrative: D1 Supply, M30 Three Inside Down permarket,
- Preferred: IB extension down, sustained auction (taper profit target due to a wide value)
- Con: D1 Bullish narrative
- Hypo 2 — Value Rejection Up / Sustained Auction Up
- Narrative: D1/W1 Bullish narrative
- Preferred: IB extension UP, sustained auction taking out D1 demand
- Con: Open within value, ADR nearly exhausted
- Hypo 3 — Value Rejection Failure / Failed Auction
- Preferred: price extends above and fails to find business. ADR exhaustion right above.
- Hypo 4 — Auction Fade
- Narrative: Hypo 2 plays out, D1 Supply Pop gives an LTF reaction. Exhausts ADR
- Preferred: TPO structure and PA reversal, target to IB edge
- Con: D1 Bullish narrative

- Variation to Hypo 1, possible reversal at H4 demand at VAL

Mindful Trading (lack of sleep?)
- Feeling okay
Focus Points for trading development
- Monthly Goals
- No momentum trades on Non-Farm Fridays
- Total of 13 trades by the end of the month
- Weekly Goal
- Min. 3 times working out at home + mandatory cardio
- Use SL scaling in case the profit target for the setup doesn’t provide 2R for example for FA or VAA setups
- Risk Management
- Without forcing a trade: aim to take 1 trade a day, if possible 2.
- Capital Preservation during drawdown allows for 1R profit-taking
- 2 consecutive days of lack of sleep = NO TRADING
