Today the IB (OC) again is almost flat , there is no gap and the IB closed inside prior day HL range .
I don’t really have a nice setup for this, so no trade today

Monday
Unfortunately, I couldn’t trade this morning as I’m travelling.
Today the IB was long, there was an up gap that didn’t close. This gives the trade short 9:30 – 11:00, which would have given 40 points profit.
I’m counting it in this journal, as I want all trades registered, also when I was not able to trade it live.

Tomorrow morning I'll be travelling again, so I can't trade live, but will check afterwards if there would have been a trade or not.
Edit 13:46:
- Arrived in The Azores. Here it is 2 hrs earlier than in Amsterdam, so I hope I can wake up every day on time for the trade.
- This morning the IB was short, no gap and price at 9:30am was below prior day HL range . This gives a long trade from 10:00 till 11:30 (with SL 29p), what would have resulted in a 13p loss.
