Caught a runner from the Asian session. Would have been for a few more, but my trade manager has an arbitrary take profit that was hit (I'm changing that now).

Edit: Just checked trade manager settings and the take profit is set for 100 pips, maybe my broker didn't like me making $$ and closed the trade.

AJ same bar short, 80% at +5, remainder +60.

When we should use signals to trade perfectly?
When the conditions are met and your experience tells you to. Also, nothing is perfect.

AJ same bar short -15, gave back most of yesterday's spoils.

Edit: In hindsight, lows had already been made, then new highs (within this hour), maybe leave that alone next time.

Are you asking because that bar made both a high and a low? In my somewhat inexperienced opinion, "when in doubt, stay out".
Hindsight trading, had I been at my computer, that bar would have been a nice rule bender, same bar short.

1-2-3 trade for today... and the learning curve continues. This likely would have worked out, but I have a hidden 20 pip SL on my trade manager that I forgot about 'cause I'm out in the field trading from my mobile. I set a visible SL at 79.900 (you can see a little red line where I thought my stop-loss was) and price only came down to 79.903, so this lesson cost me a few bucks.

AJ long -20

I've said it many times before but it still bears repeating - It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

I forgot about this UC short I took as a same bar A.K.A. "Hal Special". I messed this one up with the same stop-loss issue as the above AJ trade, though, I think the spread would have closed tis one out anyway. The trade was a wash, I lost $.01 overall.

UC same bar short 80% at +5, remainder -20.
