I have divided the post in two part 1) Basis 2) Execution.
1) A big gap up opening ( though looking like rejection at open ) placed the price back in yday Value, hence my first assessment, despite i being a breakout/continuation trader , turned towards balancing activity. I had to initiate trade near yday references, whichever comes first -either YVAH or YVAL. But also had in mind that i cant fade at sharp ticks without a bit of confirmation. So as confirmatory tool i opened the 15min FP chart alongwith 3min/15min regular chart.
2)
Just after deciding and starting the day, a breakdown entry bar appeared , it was a Short trade which in normal course i might have taken...but now it was out of decided plan. I hv marked TPO periods around 3min candles for better visual. First long( @5224) was taken after probing and retracing backup from YVAL 5220, and also on favorable E2 delta. Second long ( @ 5222 ) as an add, was in middle of F1. First delta inversion from max negative to mark-able positive in F1 gave me impression that my long is right and i decided to add. But Second delta inversion in F1 from max positive to half of max was alarming for me. I could clearly feel the twice rejection from 5226/27. But i was not totally depend on these micro development on FP....they could be easily flushed out in single volume stroke. I was using them as confirmatory tools with my structure reading. Thats why delayed the exit till a big down bar appeared in F2 with negative delta building right from opening of F2.
Price making new low was a puzzling piece at the time, i felt i scope-out Short , and perhaps Long was not timed.
And on G1 developing , with one more delta inversion inside it , it looks like now its a delta divergence E1-G1....i should make another try with 3rd long. Ah...i was caught trading against trend. Quit the 3rd long also on negative delta buildup in G2.
So what was Bottom Line :
Do not trade against trend ? No
Do not fade the Value extremes ? No
Understand how market had changed its nature from Tight balance type to Trend-trend type since fag end of last week. Yes

I love drawing, design and developments. Two days back @websouth posted nice charts with SMAs.
I was due to use Fat Tails OR , Volatility Bands etc after i upgraded to NT 9. So a nice looking template arose from these.
Ok what its done right now...based on that its putting me on hold.
I feel its in middle of forthcoming development. Anything near 5230 is cheap and 5280 seems expensive.
