I look forward to your trade breakdowns, Jim! 
No problem , they might not be the best , but they will be breakdown of trades 
25th September 2025 btc
Missed entry, relative to my analysis from yesterday failed ,I realised that in a Distibutio.cycle you don’t get that much of a deep retracement OTE ,
But I did get an entry I that 4hr -fvg
Especially with that liquidity inside been raided and rejected but I close too soon ,for fear of loss, as I had very limited capital on bybit could have used my demo
It’s very obvious price isn’t going back there ,it was a clean trade setup yet I missed,or gave it up . For a swing trade the 4hr is where my setup should form and it did , but I ,fear ,and lack of confidence,I still feel bad ,but Ill wait for another entry rather than chasing
Also there was a 90min. SMT between BTC& ETH after that 4hr lq raid
though the day just began, I expect the today’s news drivers to expand price lower
Let’s see if price trades above/ close to the midnight open price
September 25, 2025
Trade #: Trade 1
Asset/Pair: BTC USD
Entry Price: 11555
Exit Price: 108500
Position: short
Trade Outcome: Profit ()/r:r 1:1
Reason for Trade: LQ raid on 1H chart into fp.fvg
What Went Well: price expanded as expected, DOL was good .
What to Improve: Could’ve taken a smooth & better entry if I had left emotions out
When I’m bearish, I’ll only focus on PDAs that should resist price vice versa
Notes: because I was emotional I was seeking something that was technically illogical at moment (expecting price to trade back above a pdh that raided lq and rejected, in a strong bear trend
I absolutely love this style of post. This is what a trading journal entry should look like.
When you look back on this with some distance, you’ll be amazed at how much you’ve learned and what mistakes you’ve made. In other words, you’ll see how far you’ve come.
Keep it up! 
Thanks for your words of encouragement, I’m moved to keep learning and sharing
