Shit happends :) – EURUSD and today’s volatility

My two last positions end up in a red. The thing is that this happends. But the way it happend today sometimes drive me crazy :D. Today I have initiated a total of 4trades on VFI strategy. First generated +4pips as mentioned in previous post. Second has generated +23pips. And now we have the two shitty positions :). First the M formation I havent entered on the neckline but waited for faster PA. That happend and I have entered. Soon I have noticed that the other position is forming (W pattern) and I have enterd on bigger volume. I have set the stop loss but unfortunatelly very closely to the previous level. And that was it. It was too tight (-15pips) not 20-25pips which is usually initial SL. For that reason I was stopped so that in literally next second has generated a super big move up hitting my previous TP. This is normal situation which every trader has experienced and I just wanted to let you know that it is not happening just to you but to everyone :). So overall in todays volatile market veeery modest gain: +23+4-8-15=+4pips.

Two other trades are the one which generated profit (see gallery). My trading session has ended for today and now its time for rest.
