nice spontaneous melody with the high synth. Bit too repetitive for my liking atm. A couple more synth elements would benefit it I think

Hey mate. The synth playing when the kick and bass starts is a bit loud.

A lot of tracks don't start with bass until 32 bars or so. Obviously you can do what you want, but learning the rules is important, bend them later. Try fading in your filler elements in the beginning there. High/low pass does the job. It seems that your clap is panned to the right, with nothing on the left to balance it out. Your builds need a lot of work. More elements, needs to be big. Try working with cymbals at points you build up to. Big thing is your kick is lacking. Honestly pretty cool though.

there are no rules when it comes to trance and if there are there ment to be broken.

the bass at the start is for mixing purpose so i can set my gain and mid's the clap was panned not sure why but thats fixed.

gonna come back to this in a week or so and go over with a fresh head

Your missing my point. If your music was ever to be played live, you need a mix intro. Mix intro's need to flow properly, so technically yes you should follow some sort of structure. That's when you get creative and make it your own.
If the bass is for mixing purposes, mix it in, then take it out! I know this community is a low key place to share, but always share your best.

Not a big fan of the synth sound in the melody synths. It never really has that big euphoric trance sound or has a deep progressive sound. Try to make your choruses sound bigger by adding more synths/harmonies to give it that big sound or just use better sound design. Nice ideas and competent production though.
