neutro replied Apr 15, 2010Don't worry, i did the exact same thing, but with the full position. I saw price reaching FTA, moved stop to BE and then got scared of the move up watching H4 and closed for 0.1R. A trade which now would have been 1.xR. But hey, we're here to learn. ...

neutro replied Apr 15, 2010You traded the plan, and that's a good thing. I went short yesterday on that little EURAUD daily pin but got out too quickly (got scared after the fast retrace off FTA @ 1.4570). Didn't stick to the plan (gap fill) and that's a no-no. Another entry ...
