TRADE, USDCAD, 7.3.2017

TRADE SUMMARY: This trade was a great example of me not getting married with the position. My initial hypo for this trade was biased SHORT. Long run of USDCAD hit a decent area (marked purple on D1) and paused. On Monday open I have entered a limit short trade. This trade moved nowhere and started creating higher lows. I have decided it to call it a position at -0.4R and closed the trade. Since the market was creating new higher lows, my stats are telling me, that in the last year I have either been personally in a couple of these trades, or I have noticed many of these trades. It is that moment, when after run, market starts to create higher lows and wants to push higher. I have flipped the position and got long. Within 24hours my target was hit.

Pattern:

• SDZP -> RAR

Good:

• Not married to position
• Flipping positions to opposite direction when new pattern emerged

Bad:

• Nothing

To Improve:

• Playbook trade
• Repeat again

Result:

-0,4R + 1,4R = 1R
