Ok, it's not bad what you've done. Your chord progression is pretty solid. The arp is too dominant in the mix though, bring it back, and your lead has a good rhythm and the tone is good, but it definately needs more generous reverb.
Something else that needs some more attention is the hi-hats. They don't exist for most of the track! A strong off-beat hat is pretty important in trance, and you at least need an eighth note pattern. The kick roll is a little 'in your face', and generally, if you roll up like that you really need to crank the energy of the song up as well, so use it sparingly.
Keep trying, I'm sure your tracks will rock big time eventually.

Thank you so much ^_^
I really don't know the first thing about trance, so your comments are really helpful (seeing as this is my first attempt at a trance track, really.)
