Comments

Z faded below 100SMA and retested such level rejecting hardly and falling again back below PM lows. I have thus tried to spot a move to low of the day. This is the reason why I have not locked in any profits. I have to say that this is a secondary setup so I have limited my risk to only 10$ with the aim of locking at important technical levels rather then my takes. This approach can be tolerated by my trading edge. If I execute my practice respecting the rules I could sacrifice a little piece of my profits for me to get more opportunities. That's why I have traded such small size with more attention on closing break-even considering that this is not my main practice!! Price reversed against me and I have got out! Exactly my entry was below VWAP and once 15min candle broke previous candle low! Happy regarding the execution!

I have forgotten to write down my considerations on volume profile. One of the reason why I have entered in the position is the volume exhaustion once price got at the 42 level. Even if loads of volumes came in price didn't break the level. That was a nice sign that price could have retested VWAP and eventually trend line that unfortunately I can't draw here hahaha
Broke VWAP and trend line I found really comfortable to entry in the position.
