Risk control was there but the timescale of the setup was M5 or M3 not M15 Trap was there on the M5 or M3 Location logic was there; an inactive support for which a trap triggered the reversing move Liquidity and flow logic was there, aligning with the HTF Trade was taken away from major news TP hit but exit not triggered due to spread; manually exited close to TP
Risk control mindset was there. I am starting to get into this mindset more easily these days as criteria become more clear. Trap was very clear Location logic was very clear; trap occurred at a stale location in a trend reversal move Liquidity flow made sense and aligned with the HTF. Targets were very reasonable Trade was taken away from major news Trade...
Risk control mindset was there. But I did not wait for a better price pullback as I did not find many other opportunities and wanted to get something in Trap seller move has been taken out (it was post the break of that move rather than a breakout anticipation Location could have been better (waiting for a pullback) but overall ok Broader liquidity flow context...
Risk control mindset was there 2 clear sharp reversal traps amid broader accumulation structure; including Wyckoff-style spring Location is near the HTF buyers Flow is bullish on H1, H4. Daily downward flow is expected to resume but later after a liquidity void is filled in. Flow in M15 agrees given the rollover and traps
Risk control mindset was there Evidence of a trap based launch is there Location is near buyers and before extreme for a breakout anticipation Flow is in favor on the HTF, no sign of genuine reversal and liquidity target of recent highs on H4 makes sense
Risk control was not there; opted for a value investor style of play, playing solely on location rather than IRR-maximizing play, focusing on triggers M15 trap was there but it was not large enough for the reversal move I was trying to capture given the extent of rollover Location was near the buyers on the HTF Liquidity flow in the HTF was counter to the move...
Risk control was weaker; FOMO and playing a LTF setup Risk management during the trade was good Trap was there on the 3m Location was acceptable but with lower margin of safety Liquidity flow alignment was there which goes to show that many imperfect setups work so long as one trades with the overall flow; there was alignment in the HTF and clear signs of...
Risk control mindset was mediocre. There was a bit of FOMO as the TF for the trade was a bit less than the M15 which I usually trade. I also did not explicitly consider the chances of an opposing reversal. Risk control to manage the trade was good There was a trap in the M3 The location was near buyers and I awaited a pullback There was ample broader TF flow...
Risk control is ok; not obvious, but explicit run-through of logic increased confidence Clear signs of trap presence to support the buys Location is near the buyers area Liquidity flow sees genuine signs of rollover in favor of the move and no reliable opposing reversal structure. It is also in-line with the broader flow on a HTF Trade is not taken near major...
Risk control mindset check Sharp false move trap Location near sellers' area In-line with broader downward flow, lower chance of genuine buyer reversal, clear liquidity target and rationale for targeting beyond immediate support (failed due to clear change in market structure with trap)
Risk control was there but there was a bit of chasing Trap was there in the form of sharp moves down that reversed swiftly Location logic was there as the buy was taken near buyers but I could have been more precise and patient given the ECB interest rate decision in a few hours Liquidity logic agreed; not in alignment of the big HTF trend, but in-alignment...
Risk control mindset check Trap evidence check Logical buyer location In-line with broader trend, no sign of genuine reversal, rollover of pullback and logical target
