Plenty of trade data out tonight. aud in about 1 hour and the aud RBA rate decision at 10:30pm NY time. Should be some good moves. jpy data in an hour also.

still holding my audusd swing trade. It's about 50 pips from target @ 1.0625. Stop still in at 1.0714. There's a good chance the trade will close tonight before the UK session. If not then I'm going to tighten the stop before bed.

closing out my aud trade here @ 1.0654 +110
nice move down and some interest rate risk later so I closed with a nice profit.

110 pips @ 1/4 position = +27.5 for this trade

i have exited leaving a lot on the table by the looks of it. I did this as the market looked to have stopped and i didnt want to waste what Id gained.
im sure youve seen enough of these to know how well they work, and this one was a beaut. I could have even got a better entry price. Not sure why Deebee entered when he did,but that was the perfect entry price for this sort of trade. Ouch,as Im writing this im leaving more behind. i often think I should start with 3 lots when this happens,but thats in hindsight
