Currency trading on D1 time frame

Good honest trades. All explained BEFORE the trades. No B.S. No trying to flog anything. Just good well thought out and executed trades.
Congratulations on being one of the very few honest traders here :clap: :clap:

I agree. (y)
 
Although eurusd is very choppy now, technically it is still in downtrend, so based on Thursday price action I decided to sell with minimum risk.

(T07151) sell eurusd at 1.4146, s/l: 1.4292, t/p: 0.0000 (0.25% risk)
(T07152) sell limit eurusd at 1.4190, s/l: 1.4292, t/p: 1.3986 (0.25% risk)

Trade well

Both positions stopped.
Based on Euro price action I decided to buy with minimum risk.

(T07201) buy eurusd at 1.4168, s/l: 1.3990, t/p: 0.0000 (0.25% risk)

I also placed a sell stop order to catch any possible down move.

(T07202) sell stop eurusd at 1.3990, s/l: 1.4140, t/p: 0.0000 (0.25% risk)

Both positions stopped. Euro is very choppy right now and a wise decision for me would be not to trade until it comes out of 1.4000 - 1.4500 range. But I'd like to see how can I handle this difficult period. So I take a short based on yesterday price action

(T08021) sell eurusd at 1.4267, s/l: 1.4464, t/p: 0.0000 (0.25% risk)
(T08022) sell limit eurusd at 1.4335, s/l: 1.4464, t/p: 1.4077 (0.25% risk)

Trade well
