Last 3 sessions - value areas were inside previous value area and tightening range.
Today opened out of balance - price did attempt auctioning back inside yesterdays range shortly after cash open but failed to attract new business.

Pre-market left a poor low. Cash tried to go higher but stalled at a small single print left in yesterdays profile.

Well done Horne. Nice trades indeed.
Btw, if you don't mind, may I ask you, which trade publisher that you are using to measure your trades in day 5 screenshot?

The challenge started very smoothly (a bit too smoothly). The end was in sight and I got complacent. Suffered large draw down and forced to close which set me back 4 or 5 days. Managed to make it all back in one trade the next day and complete the challenge.

Congratulations! Anyways it looks impressive even with some drawdown. I was thinking to ask you a question after there was less than 50 euro left to reach the target, if you considered to decrease trading lots, this might allow to stay closer to target in case of losses ...
but there was an issue with you thread and trade explorer was deattached for some time, so did not raise a question finally...

Are you planning to share progress of part two - Verifications stage?

Best regards

The market profile indicator I was using on mt4 was making the platform lag too much, so I had to remove it. Still works fine though on mt5 which I'm using for reference.

Yesterday had quite a pronounced profile. Today's cash open saw price close back inside yesterdays value area - a revisit of yesterdays POC looked likely.
