Did not really "miss" because I never submitted an order. I had my eyes on volume and did not see what I thought I needed to see.

If ES was going anywhere, and/or 6E were not at a triple top decision... But that was a hard spike up

Sometimes the things I should journal do not become apparent until a year later. But I have seen this before. Cannot recall the circumstances though.
