8. Trade, long gbpaud, 2 microlots, at 1.5126. No stops.
08:40 am, stops at 1.5127
Just some quick math:

You've made $22.53, but lost $31.62. Also, you had a drawdown of 28.7% from your high of $117.14. Glad it's only $100.


Do you have a method to your madness, or are you just goofing off?

10. Trade, long gbpnzd, 2 microlots at 1.9079, no stops.
