Trade Journal

I was holding an overnight position on the euro and it was closed out for a profit of 31 pips. I had no profit target for it and closed out because of the strong resistance at 1.4750. It's better to wait for this level to be broken. I also entered a second position on the euro in the early morning but it got stopped out for 22 pips because of the tight stop.

It was a good day for the pound today for me as well. I mentioned in my trade analysis that I would stay out unless there's a good chance, well, there was. I noticed a triangle formation on the chart and played a break out for a profit of 51 pips.
