Yup, I've looked at GBPCHF too and I'm not sure if I could withstand the volatility there either lol. I've deviated a couple of times from my plan and each time I've been bitten so I'm even more determined to stick to it. I'm re-entering UJ in a ...

OK, my USDCAD was stopped out earlier for plus 65 pips. Happy with the profit obviously but I see it was stopped out at 13.29.54, just 6 seconds before Canadian news was due . Even worse, it wouldn't have even hit my stop loss if the spread ...
