## ⚙️ Execution
- **Trigger Type**: Delta Shift / Absorption
- **Entry Reason**: Strong Absorption on pullback when price break POC, but enter could be better if I enter after absorption.
- **Exit Reason**: Someone absorb orders on level, every time, when price approach the level where I exit, I don't want to wait till liquidity become thiner or aggressive seller join.
## 📈 Outcome
- **Win**
- **Would I take this trade again?** Yes
- **Emotion check**: Doubtful
For today MCL trade, after I exit with 0.5R due to strong absorption, prices start to trend again, definitely there an aggressive buyer, but we have also big liquidity on each level, I don't think that It high probability trade to enter on initiative move, when there is strong responses on each price level.

## ⚙️ Execution
- **Trigger Type**: Absorption
- **Entry Reason**: Price was trending and open higher than previous value, price stall on previous day high, so accepted higher value.
- **Exit Reason**: SL, probably was too small, because after price reach SL it reverse in my direction, I put it in HVN zone, needed to put it on LVM.
## 📈 Outcome
- **loss**
- **Would I take this trade again?** Yes
- **Emotion check**: Calm, Confident

## ⚙️ Execution
- **Trigger Type**:Tape, Imbalance
- **Entry Reason**: Price left POC, created imbalance
- **Exit Reason**: Trailed SL, but the problem that because I never have a target, it's to manage exit, I left on table half of profits, because was waiting price to reach previous low, instead it create very small absorption and reverse. The question is what signal for exit could be?
## 📈 Outcome
- **Win**
- **Would I take this trade again?** Yes
- **Emotion check**: Calm, Confident
