Olé. Nicely done. Could almost hear the swish of your red cape as that pair steamed past you.

gbpjpy short - stop moved up to 149.73. +10 profit locked in.

 

[Purple Brain]

gbpjpy pulled trade at 150.15 for +52 for original risk of 80. Max intratrade drawdown was -60 pips.

Reason for Exit Technical: (1) Possibly finding resistance on the week low. (2) Breaking the 150 barrier didn't trigger a bunch of buy orders which I expected it would do.

Reason for Exit Honest: Boredom and was hard work making those pips and don't want to give any back.

If audjpy turns around and heads up now it'll be another one of those amazing coincidences where my stop gets hit almost to the pip and then heads off in the direction of the trade just stopped out. It happens less than it used to , but shows my stop placement still requires more work. Or my timing. Or both.
