Notes about Today:

• 3 Trades today - 2 Wins, 1 Loss.
• 1st trade was perfect, I followed with the model of CISD and waited for the confluences. BUT, 2nd trade was forced, as price was near Asia High, I saw 1m OB, and forced an entry there for longs. Got stopped out, took a second to analyze, then saw 5m FVG that got respected, so I got in right at the bottom and sold really quickly as I did not like the risk, and during the trade realized that this does not align with my system.
• 6am 4H candle was respecting 4H Bullish Imbalance, so going into 10am, I was anticipating the price to pullback as a form of manipulation, so I found this 15m FVG that I was interested in, and off of there, I found SMT and CISD, so I basically followed the flow state model, and set my TP at the nearest local high / Buyside Liquidity.
• There was Asia High that I was targeting, it will make more sense if you look at 4h chart, but I didn’t like how 10am instantly gave us this manipulation in a couple minutes, so I was cautious with this price action, and thus why I set TP on nearest BL.
• At the end I attached my original idea and where I would set SL and TP. You can see this price was pretty choppy today, as we came back to that entry area again, but never broke lower, so SL would’ve never been hit. Something to keep in mind.
