Risk control was there but there was a bit of chasing
Trap was there in the form of sharp moves down that reversed swiftly
Location logic was there as the buy was taken near buyers but I could have been more precise and patient given the ECB interest rate decision in a few hours
Liquidity logic agreed; not in alignment of the big HTF trend, but in-alignment with the trading and medium term TF.
For these kinds of trades when a major news event is due in a few hours, if entering a trade, it is critical to ensure the trade is entered near the relevant extremes to avoid being whipsawed.
