Strategy: Volume Profile (Value Area High, Point of Control, Value Area Low)

βΈ»

1. Market Context
    •    This trade was taken late at night, following two successful shorts earlier in the day (BTC and ETH), both of which hit their Take Profits at the Point of Control (POC).
    •    After breaking down from the Value Area High (VAH) and successfully shorting into the POC earlier, the idea here was to trade a rejection from the POC again — targeting the Value Area Low (VAL).
    •    Market sentiment was calm after previous wins, but this setup was forced rather than strictly following the system.

βΈ»

2. Entry Trigger
    •    Setup aimed to catch a rejection from the POC after a break below it.
    •    However, the entry was taken too early, before confirmation.
    •    Planned valid entry: around 101,700 USD
    •    Actual entry: 101,500 USD, slightly front-run and unconfirmed.
    •    Stop Loss: 102,415 USD (above recent structure)
    •    Take Profit: 100,097 USD (approaching Value Area Low target)

3. Trade Details
    •    Entry: 101,500 USD
    •    Stop Loss: 102,415 USD
    •    Take Profit: 100,097 USD
    •    Risk: 600 USD (instead of usual 500 USD → higher than planned)
    •    Result: Unnecessary and premature trade; invalid by strategy rules.

βΈ»

4. Trade Rationale
    •    Idea was to short a POC rejection after breakdown — same concept as earlier successful setups.
    •    However, the execution was emotionally driven, more out of momentum and confidence from earlier wins than strict rule adherence.
    •    Trade was unnecessary, as the trading day already had profitable, structured setups.
    •    No strong technical confluence at the time of entry; trade lacked clean confirmation.

βΈ»
 

5. Execution & Emotions
    •    Execution quality: Poor — no confirmation, over-risked position, entered impulsively.
    •    Emotional state: Slight overconfidence from prior wins (“winner’s high”).
    •    Psychological error: Desire to capture one more move despite the day’s success.
    •    Reflection: Trade was entirely avoidable; lack of patience and discipline.
    •    Should have ended the session after achieving the earlier take profits.

βΈ»

6. Lesson Learned
    •    Do not trade out of boredom, confidence, or momentum from previous wins.
    •    Respect session limits and stop trading after successful executions.
    •    Stay disciplined — one undisciplined trade can quickly erode prior gains.
    •    Always wait for confirmation and keep risk consistent with plan.
