GBPJPY Trade Update - Pre NFP Trade Ideas

182
Bias Analysis: 1D Minor Swing at EPD with 4H Selling off in alignment with the daily bearish bias. A consolidation formed in alignment with the 1H range and after pulling back into a 4H 1-sided FVG, which confluent swept buy side liquidity, the trade parameters were met for a short position.
Grade: High Probability
What I did well or could've done better:
- I waited for extra confirmation as the 1M Market Structure Shift did not have the conviction I was looking for, perhaps there was nothing wrong with the MSS and I was projecting my fear onto the chart. I fortunately did not miss the trade but on a different day I would have and would be kicking myself now. I did sacrifice profit by waiting and opting for a wider stop.

If the trade meets the plan, execute! Understand the variation of concepts you trade and know that the market won't always be picture perfect.
