Change.

I have been analysing the days as a stand alone without any context in the frame, I've just been curious as to what may have caused price to do what it does during the day, as far as the AMT goes, I...

In a bid too find a way, or rather a reasoning to hold onto trades on a day where price might be trending, certain ideas need to be explored.
