Happy Easter days to you all!

Same to you
You got kids? do you play hide the easter eggs with them?
My wife's family did it a lot and it would be days before they would find the eggs. Tried the tradition with our kids, but after about an hour they gave up, so it never really took off.

Are you one of those furries?

My kids are a bit too old for these games, lol.
Got my first 2 kids when I was younger as 20.
They came by today (We have 2 Easter days in Holland) and as usual these days are filled with food, eggs, food, eggs, and some more food

Today I had some fun on EU. But to be honest I didn't spend too much time in trading because I was in charge of making food for everyone as we were still in holiday mood.
First trade was a loss but I swiftly corrected that.
Last trade was a runner, took a bit off at X14 and the rest at X20

Nice moves.
Where does the asian session and UK session begin/end on this chart?

That wasn't important in this trade, however I was aware of the Asian high.
The London session starts at 10

It took a long time for this 17 pip trade to come to an end.
But hey...I'm happy with x10R

This time X4 and I nearly got knocked out.
Price went for yesterdays high (thin red line) to find liquidity. I didn't wait for the bounce, just took my profit at the line and ran.

What a terrible day. The day started so good and in retrospective I should have stopped trading after my first trades.
Instead I decided to do something completely different; I divided my profit in 4 parts and started trading these parts.
Obviously I didn't think this through properly....

After 4 trades my profit was gone...
evaporated...
2 more trades and I was staring at some bright red numbers...

I should have planned this better because I know I can have 4 losers in a row quite often.
6 in a row is rare and 7 in a row....just happened once last 6 months.
Just like my stats predicted; my 7th trade was a winner and I got some back but eventually it took the whole f** day to get back on my feet again because initially the hole I was in only got deeper.

Traded it back, where this last changed the numbers in my favor.
I'm so tired now.

Initially I planned to get up at 5am and try to trade the asian session.
I knew the Monday morning Asian session wasn't the best, it was cold and it was raining so I decided to catch 3hrs more sleep and try after London open.
I did not regret doing so; catched about 16R

The thin red line is Friday's high.
The thin blue line is today open.

16 R, damn . On average, how many trades to you have to get into before getting the 16R one ? Do you sacrifice much winrate %-wise? Or do you still manage to have good winrate even with those RRs

Well...all trades are on the chart.
There were no losers and the last trade did about x10
