exit at 1.9568 for -15. (agg = -15 from 1 trade)

NB: thought I could get away with it, what with the spike back, but it didnt fall back fast enough. anyway, saved myself 5 pips from my SL.

Re: Live FX Trades
Cut the long for +25. Not much strength from 70. Will wait and see for a while before re-entering

DOH! exit at 162.23 for -18 pips.

I entered perhaps 5 pips too early, and the pullback "congestion" between 162.08/15 broke to the upside.
The market was dropping, and I will read tight ranges as pullback entries.
This time it broke to the upside.

I dont like Mondays,
I dont like Mondays,
I just wanna shoo...ooo..oot,
The whole day down.

(boomtown rats, if you're wondering)

(agg = -33 from 2 trades)

My impetuousness cost me.
If I had stayed in, and used previous high of 162.30 as SL, I could have had a scratch trade, as its back to my entry point just now.
