Here is my trades from this morning. I left a lot on the table, I need to get better with that. Or maybe not (I don't know). Sometimes I go for more and things reverse. The key I am focusing on now for Me is ending the day positive (10-20 pips), ... stop when things are positive. So today just a few trades and trade ideas used...
First trade was taken based on noticing movement of JPY pairs across many pairs, it kinda fizzled so I got out (especially as support was not breaking here), of course about 40 minutes later, support broke and I could of made 15-20 pips...but no worries, at least it was not a loss.
Second trade was a break out, just grabbed 10 pips. Done. Up about 13 pips on the day.
Third setup was "the one that got away", I was stalking that setup for a sell at yellow zone, but could not take it as I was already in the trade above. That would have been good for 15 pips.
All the best,
West
As I have been learning different things from algos, I have learned that our advantage as humans manually trading we can take profit whenever we want.
So take what you can when you can because you are not a robot and you don't know what will happen next.
