EUR/USD Short at 1.2830. Mental SL around 1.2850. No TP. Lot size: 2.50
Closed this one manually at 1.2827 (+3 pips / +$7.50). It started out in the right direction and ran out of steam before it got to my 10-pip target. After reversing, it came back in my direction a bit, and I closed it for a small gain.
Updated goals/targets for the rest of the day:
1) $16.55
2) $24.41
The next trade will use a lot size of 1.7, in an attempt to capture the first daily goal with a 10-pip win.
There will always be other trades, and I need to never feel like I have to get it all in the one I'm in. I'd rather close for a small (or no) gain, rather than a big loss that will make it harder than it has to be for the next trade.
