5. Comments and Feelings at the Time of Taking The Trade: I was waiting for the break of the M5 level. It happened and then a seed followed with I took. I was reasonably confident in the trade as there was space to the next level. Didn't work out.

After a chat with Immy he pointed out that it had moved a lot before I took the trade and there was 11 trend candles. It wasn't something that I should have entered so I have changed it to DSO.

It was NOT a break of the TR... This HIGH only then Made it into a TR. A TR must have 2 equal highs and 2 equal lows and it must to TIGHT range not Tall or WIDE.
