The EB is a reversal pattern. Therefore, it needs some sort of trend or pullback from which to reverse. Otherwise, if one just trades every EB that appears, there is no edge. Two of your three trades had no trend or directional movement to reverse.
Separately, it is logical to expect that if one wants to achieve results unlike most other forex traders, one's approach to the game must be unlike most other traders. Among other things, this means that even if a strategy is mostly mechanical, a trader must learn what the various nuances...Ignored

DislikedClosed Brent for 1:2.5, and was stopped for 1 unit on the gbpchf, had stop at 50% level on both, so net up 1.5 units for these.
AUD currently at just above the 1:1 level, leaving it open to see if it can take out yesterdays high and make a run from here.
