TRADE, USDCAD, 27.2.2017

TRADE SUMMARY: this trade had a good base. Started to create higher lows and momentum. Based on the I have decided to enter on retrace. Got in at very good spot. Unfortunatelly, this was a trade: run or run away. Market run, but just for a while. It reached a nice open profit, but then shit itself. I did not want to risk it since it went against my rule of run or run away type of position. I have decided to close the position on rebound. Market eventually reached my target. Overall, decent trade.

TRADE, AUDUSD, 1.2.2017

TRADE SUMMARY: Big disappointment of the month were AUDUSD where I was targeting +3R. Unfortunatelly, a month long position was closed just for 0.3R. I am happy for 0.3R at least, because if I would be stubborn, it would eventually hit my sl. So what happened? Market broke nicely out of 7600. It held 7600 and moved forward. At this stage I was expecting market to be quicker. But I was patience. New higher lows were created, no rush. New higher highs were created. I got first worried when the 7650 got broken a bit. New high was not created and 77 held as a resistance to buyers. That was a first moment of doubts. When 7600 was attacked, I knew I had to get out. I have waited for the bounce and got out. Very small profit, good trade.
