GBPJPY - SHORT: Trade Recap

13
Bias Analysis: Daily minor swing at equilibrium and 4H trading out of Order Block. 1H range was bearish but price had not yet reached EPD
Entry Criteria: 15M protracted counter to my bias, swept upside liquidity and formed 2 bearish candles before entering.
Grade: Low-Quality Valid
What I could've done better:
- Waiting for the 1H to pullback into EPD as an extra layer of confirmation.
- Observing that price swept sell side liquidity of the range in London session which meant a breakout to the upside was more likely.
- Observed that the 5M and 1M timeframes were consolidating rather than shifting structure would've made me hesitant to execute which would've resulted in no execution as I had a strict rule for the day that if there's any doubt at entry, I should rather leave the setup alone.
- Not traded today given it was a GBP Bank holiday, which naturally means there's a lack of liquidity
