TRADE, GBPUSD, 15.11.2016

TRADE SUMMARY:market broke 2337 and went higher, which was a critical flip for GBPUSD. After the break, the retest confirmed this level as a flip to hold. Demand was set. When market returned, I got in through the demand hit play on H1. Market then hold the level strongly resisting the strength of USDX. After two days, the pressure broke below 2408, which was my awarness zone, meaning: be careful, if market closes here, market wants to hunt lower prices. Since the break was strong, I have setup an exit TP at the BE on the return being able to exit with a scratch smaller then 0,1R. I was lucky. Market retraced to my TP, and then shit itself. I would end up in full -1R loss. This time I was able to manage my exit out and end up with BE result. Good trade.
