UPDATE 2: Stop moved to break-even. I'm heading out now so I'll be leaving it like this...it'll be all or nothing...

FINAL UPDATE: Taken out for break-even.

Price came within 1.6 ticks of my profit target and subsequently worked its way back to take me out at break-even!

What really makes me mad about this trade is that I could have been actively managing it...when price got within 1.6 ticks of my PT, I would have squeezed my stop tight and gotten at least 1R out of this trade.

But I wasn't around to actively manage it...because I was out to eat!...not working, not at anything that was mandatory...I chose to go out to eat...nothing special, just a routine dinner, more or less...

Oh well...on the bright side it was a good call and a solid entry... I'm just going to learn from it and move on...

Re: Reading Charts in Real Time - May 2011
Well, it's a little early but I think I'm gonna call it a week...I'm actually in the middle of mowing the lawn (and trying to monitor my charts at the same time!). I had a pretty good week!



Still much room for improvement. Plus, I've gotten on a little bit of a winning streak (relative to the prior few weeks), so I need to make sure my head stays screwed on straight...in the past when that's happened, I'll often begin to feel as if I can't lose and start taking less-than-ideal setups...it doesn't end well. I also have to make sure I don't get paralyzed from fear about giving back what I've made...I've been ok so far, though...I was able to take that last USD/JPY short trade without any problem.

Have a good weekend!...I know I will! I'll be seeing the Blue Angels on Saturday and riding in a hot air balloon on Sunday!
