No shortcuts

I haven't been checking my trades too closely over the past couple of days as I'm away in Wales with the family so imagine my surprise when I take a look and see how I've been shafted by NFP
Oh well....the trade which is still going well is GBP/USD long but it is a tiny position as I wasn't too sure about the trade. Back to the drawing board over the weekend then. I'll probably keep topping my account up to help me psychologically as the amounts are still so small but I've got trade explorer to keep me honest.

New order pending on EUR/USD. Short at the break of Fridays low 1.2225. SL 205 pips away at 1.2430. 2p/pip. Risk on the trade is just below 1%

Moved SL up by 70pips on this one to recent low @ 1.5810 so risk is reduced.
Will look to add to the position on any weakness over the next few days.

Some dreadful trading going on at the moment. Going to have a word with myself and will post again later with an action plan. I think the way I see the market moving is totally flawed. I continue to try and catch reversals believing the market is at the start of a new trend!!

The only thingI will allow myself a bit of slack on is the fact I have realised this and have not blown my account. Currently about -5% down on my account.
