Trade Review
1/30/25 $MES This was an afternoon setup that was taken with a pending order below a STL and into a 1H+FVG. I think I even forgot that the trade was on the chart but I trusted the set because there was also the +IFVG Manipulation Model for the buy triggered to confirm that this was valid. Most of the day was choppy so I wasn't pressing taking a trade and was content with not entering anything for the day. We traded most of the day inside the Wednesday's high and low and swept both sides of the Internal Range Liquidity (IRL). The trade went straight to the overall target of the PDH and into the NWOG(L) as expected then dropped back to my original entry.
There was a hard sell off that went straight down to take out SSL, reached into the +FVG and made a MTL, and then created the +IFVG Manipulation Model.
Entry: 6072.50 SL: 6067 Target: 6090, 6111.25 Adjusted SL: 6075

Cory publishes the working thesis before the session, not after — this Playbook and Trade Review are part of that same documented process. No signals, no highlight reel.
