GBPUSD:
SELL if GBPUSD rallied to 2.0250. (5-EMA High: preferred higher, but factor in vagaries of SB pricing))
Stop-Loss=2.0290 (Resistance from past few days)
Profit-Target=2.0180. (recent dip, but not beyond it, to be safe)
Risk-Reward=40/70.

Order in as per trendie's trade.

SELL 1 GBPUSD @ 2.0250
Stop = 2.0290
Profit-Target = 2.0180.

[trendie]

that was a seriously badly judged trade.

I could see the support line 2.0180/165, but failed to consider the strength of the bounce.

I am going to withdraw from further daily calls.
(I was too engrossed in the "James" skype sessions on his (babypips) IB trades, which netted best part of 200+ pips real-time today)

EDIT: I didnt personally nett 200+ pips, by the way!
