- **Trigger Type**: Tape
- **Entry Reason**: Price left POC in direction with trend, speed of tape increased, volume increased.
- **Exit Reason**: Close with 0.3 loss. Someone was sitting on ask and reload on same level for long time and volume, when prices was going down - bids was pulled off. Shift in value, close the trade.
## 📈 Outcome
- **loss**
- **Would I take this trade again?** Yes
- **Emotion check**: Calm, Confident
- **Trigger Type**: Absorption / Tape
- **Entry Reason**: Strong Absorption
- **Exit Reason**: Too tight SL, after it hit - price reverse and go back to my direction.
## 📈 Outcome
- **Loss**
- **Would I take this trade again?** Yes
- **Emotion check**: Confident
I also have separate study, which 500ms heatmap with speed of type, which I use when I actually in trade, together with open DOM, I'll not include screenshots, because speed of changes is too quick for screen.
- **Trigger Type**: Delta Shift Footprint Imbalance Tape
- **Entry Reason**: Price left POC in detection of trend, big increase in volume, strong imbalance together with increased speed of tape.
- **Exit Reason**: Context shift, price stuck on level and start to break previous low. Opposite imbalance. But probably could close only half and sit through pullback.
## 📈 Outcome

## ⚙️ Execution
- **Trigger Type**: Tape, breakout of POC, increase of volume.

- **Exit Reason**: Discomfort, absorption and increased bids on DOM.
## 📈 Outcome
- **Win**
- **Would I take this trade again?** No, enter was bad.
- **Emotion check**: Rushed

## ⚙️ Execution
- **Trigger Type**: Footprint Imbalance, Tape
- **Entry Reason**: Very strong imbalance with direction of trend. I suggest that lower move was long liquidation and enter when volume and imbalance build.

- **Win**
- **Would I take this trade again?** Yes
