Follow the decision.

The failed low established the context. The rollover and Open Box breakout followed.

Times are as recorded in the trade notes.

01 / CONTEXT

Friday’s outside day had failed at the low. That was the reversal context.

02 / SETUP AND CONFIRMATION

In my execution notes I recorded bullish alignment across the timeframes, followed by a 9-1-5 structure and a clean 3S rollover.

03 / EXECUTION

I entered at 10:05 with the Open Box breakout. The target was OB1x.

04 / MANAGEMENT AND OUTCOME

The target was reached after 30 minutes. My recorded result was +200 points / +5R, with the note “very clean.”

05 / WHAT TO LEARN

The story is the failed low followed by the rollover and breakout. The entry came after the reversal structure developed, rather than from trying to buy the lowest price.
